My favorite morning sword flow so far.

Working on the speed of my sword flowers as well as uppercut strikes.

Found this 2019 clip from 100 days after Jamal Khashoggi was killed.

I was asked by @glamour.com’s Sam Barry what I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman if I had the chance to face him again (I have met him twice).

Here was my answer.

This morning’s swordplay.

The joy of learning something new (and on your own) is permission to just focus on how something sounds and feels.

I’m a sensory person. I find the sound of wind, metal quite satisfying, and meditative in the morning. #jian #straightsword

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.

We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.

Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining
