In this one we view Aikido's alleged role as a "traditional martial art" through the lens of Muay Thai, contrasting the history (or lack thereof) of the two arts, as well as the training approaches. Where did the distinctive flavour of Muay Thai come from? What was Japan like between 1868 and 1920? What has Muay Thai got to do with Angkor Wat? Is Bushido a 20th Century invention? These questions and more examined in this episode.
