Whit was struggling to find martial arts classes in his neck of the woods, so we assigned a producer to help the WBEZ listener locate a South Side studio that taught self defense.

Along the way, Reset learns about the health benefits of a martial arts practice and the community cultivated in one South Shore dojo that’s been around for more than four decades.

GUEST: Hanshi Larry C. Tankson, owner of TAC Karate & Fitness
