Customer Reviews
Very Experienced Karate-Ka worth listening to
Michael Hagen is an experienced US National Team competitor (kata) and a very well rounded martial artists that has taken a journey from a heavy tournament focus to grounded self-defense focus. But he has a knack for combining the two in a way that makes me want to listen and learn from his experience. Worth a listen for sure.
