Martial arts aren’t just a great way to get in shape; they can also help improve your self confidence and mindfulness, and introduce you to new cultures and friends. Many lessons taught in martial arts apply to other aspects of life.

We discuss the impact that film and television has had on introducing people to martial arts.

We look at the article from Medium.com on the 6 best martial arts for fitness:

1. Capoeira
2. Taekwondo
3. Karate
4. Escrima
5. Wing Chun
6. Tai Chi

We talk about our own experience with Boxing, Kick Boxing and Rod's 20 year practise of Capoeira.

We ask, which Martial Art can you eat a burger while doing? Which can you River Dance while doing?

And we end with, who would win these fantasy fights? Including Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali.
