Southpaw

Sam sits down with veteran screenwriter and lifelong competitive martial artist Brian Herskowitz on how he applies his concepts from competitive martial arts to lasting success as a storyteller, keys to competing for over 50 years, maintaining your body, applying the same mindset to everything, upgrades in regenerative medicine (prolotherapy, PRP, stem cells), giving yourself as a writer and martial artist room to play, how "do what I say and not as I do" can make sense when there's free play, how the belt system was a late addition to martial arts, and allowing the student to define their own success. You can't be a dictator to other people's wants and goals, and you can't allow others to dictate your wants and goals as well. What you want to get out of anything, you get to decide.

There are so many nuggets of wisdom that you can probably find uses for in whatever you do and are into.

This is fight study, where we use professional fights to study the science and art of fighting. We go layers deep, not just to go inside baseball for the superfans, but also to give rich insight for those who want to improve their own skills.

We start the show giving a Southpaw salute to all the sports entertainment overlords, the benefits of slapping a Nazi over punching one, then a critical analysis of Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic 2, Anthony Pettis vs. the returning Nate Diaz, the beefcake battle between Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa, and Raphael "No Love" Assuncao vs. Cory Sandhagen. The Assuncao fan club is now taking members.

We brought back sociologist and MMA coach Justen Hamilton to discuss with us the thesis behind his new martial arts academy, as well as his thesis as an instructor, how the modern martial arts instructor has to allow the students to define their own learning, and how play is essential not only for children but especially for adults.

We sit down with comic book writer Aubrey Sitterson to talk about his new comic book "No One Left to Fight" which is a riff on Dragon Ball Z, with the premise of: what do you do when you've already won? Then we go into the weeds about the genre of fight mangas, and if there is an audience for that here in the US, how mangas and American comic books are different, and the process of becoming a comic book writer. Then we dive into his other notable work "The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling" and the challenges of writing a historical non-fiction graphic novel, the importance of visuals for a visual art form, why we like to watch people fight, the strange juxtaposition of liking this stuff while being a Leftist, and also what makes something a "work"? Is it just that the result is predetermined or is it more than that?

And if you're one of our comrades on Patreon, we also have a bonus episode where Aubrey goes into his diet and work out, how he lost 50lbs, and why the body, fitness, and well-being should be important parts of Left politics.

We bring back David Christian of the Modern Martial Artist YouTube channel and Emon Rashid (Vloshry) to talk about their new graphic novel "Mortal Weapons," which is basically a martial artist and fight fan's wet dream. It's about the techniques and concepts that David covers in his YouTube videos, taught through an epic story, with the art of martial arts artist Emon Rashid. Then we break down what made Mike Tyson such an impressive first round knockout artist. And of course we end up talking about anime, manga, comics, and crying during movies. Where else can you hear the technical boxing side of Mike Tyson while also talking about anime and X-Men, other than on Southpaw?

On this episode, since there were two different combat sports events (boxing and MMA), Sam compares two different types of southpaws from two different sports: Manny Pacquiao from boxing, and Leon Edwards from MMA. Edwards being the taller longer fighter, and Pacquiao being the smaller fighter. And in doing so, we can better understand how size plays a major role in deciding your strategy. Then Sam uses some of the UFC undercard fights to analyze feinting and leading. And since combat sports, especially MMA can be so complex because it has so many elements involved, you can't really wrap your mind around it unless you apply some rigorous academic thinking: like critical theory, comparative literature, deconstruction, and post-modernism.

Sam chats with Eivind Dahl of the Leftist Gaming Club and Red Plateaus YouTube channel to discuss online communities, content moderation, gaming culture, anarcho-communism, why even politicos need other interests besides just politics (you're still human), and why allowing all views is like mixing ice cream with poo—all you get is poo.
