Martial Arts Journey with Rokas's video: The Big Myth About MMA Fighters Debunked Martial Arts Explored

Many people who are not closely following the sport of MMA believe that all of its fighters have bellow standard intelligence, are violent and arrogant individuals, yet this is actually very far from the truth. In this episode of Martial Arts Explored I will share my own story of how I debunked this myth, while also giving some other examples, such as some stories of Conor McGregor and more to prove this myth wrong.

My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises. Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton. After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my YouTube channel called "Martial Arts Journey". Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries. --- If you want to support my journey, you can make a donation to my PayPal at info@rokasleo.com SUBSCRIBE to see when the next videos will come out: ► http://bit.ly/1KPZpv0 Check the video "Aikido vs MMA" which started this whole Martial Arts Journey: ► https://youtu.be/0KUXTC8g_pk If you want to support me and this channel on a regular basis check my Patreon page: ► https://www.patreon.com/rokasleo
