High Frequency Kicks

Sam and Thomas are back, and discussing why so many people dislike doing forms in martial arts.  As two martial artists who have always enjoyed doing forms, it's a question that has long been on their minds.

They compare forms from a couple of styles, and talk about the usefulness, purpose, and the artistic elements of martial arts forms.

We watched the new live action Mulan remake, and we discuss our opinions on not just the martial arts of the film, but how it compares to the original, the characters, story, pacing, and the occasional tangent.

After a brief hiatus, Thomas and Sam catch up, and chat about some of their favourite examples of hollywood style martial arts. Traditional, modern, western, and eastern. Which do you prefer?

Thomas and Sam talk about the pop culture references to martial arts that they see most often, and discus times when they see these representations being brought into the school by both new students and teachers alike.

Thomas and Sam have been studying martial arts for a long time, and believe it or not they started as students, like everyone else. In this episode they discus teachers they've had, people they've trained with, and their perspectives as both students and as teachers.

In the first episode of High Frequency Kicks, Sam and Thomas discuss how the COVID-19 virus has changed their training routines and what it means for martial arts after it's done.
