On any given day, we get dozens if not hundreds of questions on our YouTube videos, social posts, and via email. And we enjoy answering them because we never want you to get stuck or give up.
Most of our answers have carry-over to whatever situation you find yourself in, so we thought we’d share the love.
In this episode, Ryan and Andy answer a handful of commonly asked questions. Some of these are about advanced skills and others are about how or where to begin. So whether you’ve been sitting on the sofa for the last decade or are working on your Bruce Lee kip up, we’ve got you covered.
