Fixed it

We first expand our movement options and possibilities to give us a starting point. We then explore further through spirited martial arts play. Learn our approach by signing up for Liberation Martial Arts www.patreon.com/posts/122791...

Tfw someone says they're pro Palestine while simultaneously getting defensive whenever the US or the West is criticized...

Lol, IF ONLY Westerners, including weeb radicals, had this awakening

*The US goes around systematically attacking and discrediting every leftwing movement, domestically and abroad, leaving little alternative* Liberals: The world seems to keep becoming more right-wing. I don't know what is going on?

Hard to make a lot of money in one sport and one division with ONE bc of all their sports, so fighters are forced to do multiple sports and divisions, otherwise they have to sit out

A UK Red Gym facilitator wrote this in response to our latest podcast episode about burnout and the role of play

US holocaust education always involves holocaust denial because they'll tell you about the one that happened to Europeans while denying all the other ones the West did to non-Europeans.

Koreans know a strategy to grow an account is by constantly attacking others. The Webtoon "Viral Hit" was all about this. Westerners, other than the ones who use it, are unfamiliar with this strategy and don't recognize it, which is why they make what conartists call easy marks

Discussing how an organizer uses LMA to build community and avoid burnout.

If you're an org or a community space in LA and are interested in an LMA workshop, let us know

All the anarchist training collectives I know have an optional mask rule, which isn't actually a rule and is not how masks work

Years from now we'll see if social media helped revolution or not. I see it changing things from who out organized who to who wins the narrative battle

In LMA, striking and grappling aren't different styles, just different contexts for movements

Something I shared for Southpaw/LMA

Westerners can write or watch stuff like this with zero self-awareness. They have more empathy for fictional people than real people they oppress and harm. Shout out to Grand Nagus Wallace. Also, if you didn't know, we have a DS9 podcast called SDS9 where we recap and analyze every episode.

Our heavyweights having a playful session. For us, play isn't a time to practice what we've drilled. Instead, play is where we learn because we don't drill. Learn the LMA approach to movement.

In the last several years, lots of people became temporary anti-Americans. Now they're back to, "US isn't all bad internationally. It's complicated."

Does anyone know why the RWS style looks so different from other stadium styles?

We recap "Nor the Battle to the Strong," where we see the ugly side of space colonialism

RIP Kim Sae-ron 😭

Getting really close to becoming one of those people who moves to another country for martial arts

Can't believe it's 2025, and there are still USians who are like, "Yeah, the US lied about Palestine, but they've been right about everything else." Smh.

Found this cool notepad. Great for making lists

Using task goals to create and explore new movements. Here, we're reaching for two imaginary targets. Learn the LMA movement system through our Patreon or Substack

Feel like we're doing the thing Vincent Bevins warned us against in If We Burn

If you're pro-Palestine, don't do krav MAGA. Have some principles and self-respect

What's today? Thursday? Okay, fine. How about a cover reveal and a pre-order? That sounds like a great plan. Iconoclast available on May 6th. #books

Designing an LMA session for a visiting organizer

If I could leave the online space, I would, but as a martial arts instructor, I can't survive capitalism without being online

At the LMA Learning Lab, we always start with consent by touching gloves with our partner. We don't think of this as a fight to the death but just a game, and we're here to have fun. We often start by saying "safe training" or "let's have fun."

This is America

Liberals will say going after billionaires is authoritarian while crying about Elon's authoritarianism...

훈련이 회복적이어야 하는 이유 LMA 접근 방식에서는 훈련도 회복적이어야 합니다. 그렇지 않으면 일관성 있게 훈련할 수 없습니다. 훈련하고, 멈추고, 병원에 가는 식이 될 것입니다. 훈련하고, 멈추고, 물리 치료를 받으러 가죠. 훈련하고, 중단하고, 다시는 돌아오지 않습니다. 훈련에는 고통과 대가를 치러야 하며, 이를 피할 수 있는 방법은 없습니다. 훈련과 치유가 서로 다른 두 개의 세계에서 작동한다면 언제 훈련할까요? LMA 접근 방식은 이 질문을 염두에 두고 설계되었습니다.

为什么训练必须是恢复性的 在 LMA 方法中,训练也必须是恢复性的;否则,你将永远无法坚持训练。 训练,停止,去看医生。 训练,停止,去理疗。 训练,停止,再也不回来。 训练必须以疼痛为代价,这是没有办法的事。 如果训练和康复是在两个不同的世界里进行的,那么你什么时候训练呢? LMA 方法的设计就考虑到了这个问题

If you follow LMA and live in LA and would like to participate in one of our Thai-boxing scrimmages (competitive sparring), hit me up. We can modify rules or intensity based on your comfort

The worst consequence of burnout isn't that you stop organizing but that you begin to oppose all organizing efforts. It's better to walk away than stay only to chase everyone away

Weili Zhang's defensive wrestling adjustment against Tatiana Suarez

Regardless of how you politically identify, SUPPORTING Trump's immigration and foreign policy while saying "get 'em," makes you a Trump supporter. There's lots of liberals who are doing this right now.
