The Martial Artist

Two people are sparring or training in a martial arts gym. One older Asian person with grey hair is holding focus mitts while the younger person in gloves and shin guards is practicing strikes. They are inside a caged training area with padded walls and a soccer ball in the corner.

Documented by his son, a 72-year-old artist goes against his family’s wishes and trains as an amateur MMA fighter to explore the fundamental philosophies of his creative drive.
