Patrick is a failed martial artist who, after years of poor decisions, has decided to correct his path by walking the martial way once again. Along that path, he meets spiritualists, combat athletes, martial artists, and some surprises that leave him more shook than a swift uppercut.
Every month, Caitlin and Patrick will take one topic that falls in the gray area of self defense and, in their sometimes bumbling, occasionally thoughtful way, explore what it means to be on your guard.
This month we talk about CREEPS and how to discover, set up, and enforce boundaries with those you don't want getting too close.

Bruisers 5: What Should I Say When Grandma Asks Me 'Why?'
It's the paradox of martial arts: learning violence to cultivate peace. But... how does that make sense? It's a question I have tried to answer before, and it's a question often posed to me by sweet old ladies who don't like seeing my poor arms bruised up from training. It seems the closer I get to my next rank, the closer I get to answering this question.

Episode 4: The 10-Year-Old's Guide to Death Threats
I keep finding myself in situations where I want to prove my bravery and, for better or for worse, it ends in an altercation. To find out why this impulse to prove my bravery exists, I take a deep look into my past and remember my old neighbor and what he taught me about reflecting on the people we once were.

Bruisers 3: The World of Fancy Grilled Cheeses
For martial artists, the enemy is in front of us... or are they? This episode of Bruisers examines what it is like to step back into a peaceful world after engaging in violence, struggling with the expectations of people wholly not a part of that other, more violent world.

Bruisers 2: The Gun
A gun was pulled. Tempers flared. When confronted by a very ugly side of humanity, how should the martial artist respond? When confronted by violence in its most aggressive form, is knowing how to punch and kick enough to beat evil?
