People like art. People like martial arts. Some people like both.
Some people create both. This “Martial Artsy” is focused on that nexus between creation and expression.

From active competitors to coaches, to amateurs, to pros, “Martial Artsy” will explore the coexistence of both forms of expression in some very interesting people.
