Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast!
Today we’re joined by Rokas Leonavicius.
Rokas is a former Aikido instructor and founder of the Martial Arts Journey YouTube Channel.
Today he’ll be joining us to talk about his transformative journey through the world of martial arts, beginning as a die hard Aikido ka, finding himself disillusioned with the art and many of it’s practitioners, and eventually breaking from the dogma of his instructor and community to explore the world of Mixed Martial Arts.
Along the way, he’ll also share how this journey played a big role in shaping his own character, his career, and even his spiritual worldviews.
I really enjoyed this conversation, and if you do too, please be sure to like, share, and subscribe if you aren’t already.
