In this club, we'll take a very deep dive into a subculture that's especially close to Justin's heart, and a big part of who he is, the subculture of martial arts. What are these martial arts people all about? Is it just about fighting and being able to hurt other people? Or is there something more? Spoiler alert: there's something far deeper and it had nothing to do with hurting people! Martial arts communities are some of the most peaceful and inclusive you'll ever come by and this trend is only growing. So what are their values? How do they treat outsiders? Beginners? And more experienced martial artists? What do they do all day? What would they do if you tried to join? What effect could it have on your life?_x000D_
