406 / Martial Arts as Liberation / Sam, LMA

Sam from Liberation Martial Arts articulates and demonstrates his pedagogic approach to martial arts training, rooted in anti-authoritarian and decolonial theory and praxis. LMA is intended to be liberatory. What does that mean? Is martial arts, as it’s broadly defined and commonly practiced and instructed, not liberatory? If so, why? // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/sam-lma // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast // Subscribe: https://pod.link/1169842000 [ EP 406 / REC 07.14.2026 / REL 07.25.2026 ]
