As practitioners, there are many ways that we can delve into the world of martial arts outside the dojang. One of which is through video games! In this first instalment of a series, I’ll be playing as Hwoarang, a Taekwondo martial artist in Tekken 7, to explore how martial arts has inspired video games. It may also give us some ideas of techniques to use in sparring, and/or apply what we know from training when playing video games.
Do you have any thoughts you’d like to share? Let me know!
