Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey YouTube channel!
My name is Rokas. I’m a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my YouTube channel called “Martial Arts Journey”.
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

Never did Krav Maga, would not mind to try. I did other martial arts when I was young.
I always remember a discussion with my colleague, her husband was doing Krav Maga and she legitimately insisted that he can fight against someone who has a knife. And here it gets confirmed once again (for I do not know which time already), that fighting against a weapon you have to be prepared to either get extreme damage or even die. De-escalation or avoidance is the best solution.
So pressure testing is for me the standard by which i rate martial arts and systems. USDC shows what works…Majority of the melee eventually become 2 things… Kickboxing and Wrestling (possibly into submission and the ground). 2 proven foundational skills. I'm impressed with anyone who fights in USDC. Lets see how he uses Krav Maga in reality. Can't wait for Season 3!!!

Great video.
Lmao it's a trash "martial art" it's actually disrespectful to real martial arts to call it that
Omg is season 3 already here??? I still remember season 2, as soon as I heard there was crowd funding i immediately went and made my contribution.
Can't wait for the season keep up the amazing work!
