It’s AAPI Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month.

Oscar and I sit down to discuss the power of knowing your history. Whether it’s your personal lineage or the roots of your martial art, understanding where you come from is essential. For my fellow Wah Lum practitioners, studying our history isn’t just a lesson—it’s the key to our practice. Let’s dive in.
