  • Impressively good! More Martial Arts Please

    Catholic and Martial arts has combined thank to Brazil’s Gracie family and the big catholic region that it is in that country. The Christ redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro is a clear example of the connection between the sport of MMA & Christ! Thanks be to god it’s a legit sport because of many amending of the rules making it a; less lethal violent sport, for lack of better wording (so please people save the politics on that). Enjoy the podcast! More martial arts Bruce Im listening!
