In this episode of Everyday Martial Artist, we’re joined by a true innovator in the world of martial arts and combatives—Guru Roger Agbulos.

With a martial journey that began in 1990, Roger has spent over three decades honing his craft and sharing it with others. Specializing in combatives and self-defense, he has earned international recognition for his unique ability to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.

He has taught seminars and workshops around the world, with stops across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Belgium, Serbia, and the Philippines—just to name a few.
