info_outlineJoin us on this podcast episode, where martial arts isn't just about kicks and punches – it's a journey that reveals the best and sometimes the unexpected in us.
Hanshi Carl Long, whose martial arts journey started at the ripe age of 12, had a father, a Korean War veteran, who brought a karate instructor to their local area. He started his training in Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate.
But the martial arts passion runs deep in Carl's family. His grandfather was a Golden Gloves boxer, and they shared an unbreakable bond. Back in the '50s and '60s, martial arts were the rage among rough-and-tumble young adults and kids. Karate classes were hardcore, with military-style training both on and off the base. It was the wild, wild world of martial arts!
Carl Long has since trained in many styles since, and firmly believes that martial arts is a filter, allowing only the best to rise to the top.
So, whether you're a seasoned martial artist or just someone curious about self-discovery through martial arts, join us as Carl Long shares his captivating journey. It's a testament to the power of martial arts, where the best of us shines through, and sometimes, surprises await just around the corner!
