Welcome to H.U.M.A.N. (Humanity's United Martial Arts Network), brought to you by FIGHTTIPS, and hosted by Shane Fazen & Marcus Kowal. As lifelong fighters, Shane and Marcus understand that with great skill comes great responsibility -- H.U.M.A.N. explores the roots of martial arts, and how the acquired skills transcend just combat.
This pilot episode with history professor Daniele Bolelli is a perfect first podcast to set the tone for our show. Daniele explains how Japan nearly abandoned all martial arts when America attacked their ports with guns and cannons, until the founder of Judo, Kanō Jigorō, revitalized martial arts by focusing not only on self-defense, but also on moral behavior and self-improvement.
