Why Combat Sports are Better for Self-Defense (Even Weapons Defense) w/ Ward Hiney

May 9, 2020

My guest today is Ward Hiney, a self-defense instructor at Endeavor Defense & Fitness and a Krav Maga black belt.

In this episode we discuss why combat sports are not bad for self-defense. In fact, we go a step further and argue that combat sports are better for self-defense than standard traditional martial arts and "reality-based" self-defense training, even potentially for weapons defense.

This is another toe-stepper, and I know it's a controversial opinion, but hear out Ward's argument. So if you're excited to jump in, hit that subscribe button on your podcatcher now.

Now real quick before I go -- can I ask you a huge favor?

If you got value from this episode, leave us a review on iTunes, Google Podcasts, or your favorite podcasting platform. So many shows pop up and fizzle out, and we're talking about stuff that almost nobody is talking about, so leaving us a review helps us a ton!

Thanks in advance, and I'll see you on the next episode!
