Tenant of Manhood: Protect Others | @MattShoup | Episode 123

Episode 123 - Jiu Jitsu is a great tool for men to protect others in a safe and healthy way. It has been used successfully outside of the gym in real life situations, showing how effective it can be. Having this skill is a great responsibility and one that should not be taken lightly.

"I think as a man
you know
one of the tenants
of being a man
is you have to
be able to
protect others
and stand up for others
and do it
in a healthy way
not by puffing up
and saying
“hey, I can kick your ass”
But, you know
the more I learned
jiu jitsu
and the more
I've used it
a few times
out of the academy
the more responsibility
I see that
it's like
this is a great tool
to have that
I hope
I never have to use
because it works
Really works really well
And I've seen it
you know
I've seen it
outside of the gym
when it really mattered
and I'm glad that
I have it"
