On this Fight Study, we speak to martial artist, writer, activist, and former academic Madelyn Mae about unprocessed childhood trauma and protests, the relationship between edginess-angst-harm, being a product of your environment, evolving your politics as you learn and grow, how to promote healing in radical spaces, martial arts and reclaiming the body, training muay Thai, and the exploitation of Thailand by Westerners.
