TENGRIDOME, Episode 17: Honor in Martial Arts

People get into martial arts for many different reasons: for some
it's just another way of staying in shape or getting fit, for
others it's a lifelong passion that defines them as a person. Some
people learn how to fight simply because they have to. However,
there are certain stereotypes and common myths associated with
martial arts, even to this day, that have snuck their way into MMA.
Join Iggy as he dives deep into the idea of honour in martial arts
and examines just how justified is the reverence many people tend
to exhibit towards the art of fighting. To help him dissect this
topic, he is joined by analysts Tommy Elliott and Julian Lung, both
of whom have plenty of first-hand traditional martial arts and
combat sports experience to provide qualified, in-depth input. This
discussion was prompted by the following question from a discord
patron @SunshineSprkl69: "Why are fight fans obsessed with this
prelapsarian ideal of the humble warrior and the true martial
artist?" If you have a question that you would like to hear being
