Hit Me With Ya Best Shot: The Wacky World of Martial Arts Frauds

In this week’s episode, we are going to be looking at “Bullshido,” a catch-all term for martial arts practices that are either fake, delusional, or just plain useless. This is the land of no-touch knockouts, touches of death, and mystical masters who can’t manage their own lives. We’ll be asking the question—should you learn self-defense from summon who struggles with basic reality? Spoiler, the answer is no, no you shouldn’t.

This is a fun one, y'all. Nobody dies, and everybody is an absolute goober.
