A modern home for traditional martial arts.
Since 2016 we've been building a home for traditional martial arts online — instructor-led courses, training communities, and a worldwide network of practitioners.
Authentic instruction, directly from the source
The Martial Man began as a simple idea — travel to the people who hold the practice, sit with them, and document what they know before it is lost. What started as a YouTube channel has grown into a platform where practitioners from over 100 countries learn traditional martial arts directly from world-class instructors.
Every course on this platform is taught by the instructor themselves. There are no middlemen, no watered-down interpretations — just direct instruction, the way these arts have always been taught.
Kieren has spent over 20 years immersed in traditional martial arts. Living permanently in Southeast Asia for more than a decade, he has trained across multiple disciplines — including competing in Muay Thai in Thailand — and built relationships with teachers who rarely share their knowledge outside their own lineage.
That access became the foundation for The Martial Man. By collaborating with renowned teachers to bring their courses online, Kieren has created a space where geography is no longer a barrier to learning from the best.
More than courses
Students do not just watch videos — they join a community of serious practitioners. Course-specific discussion groups, a worldwide training partner finder, and direct access to instructors make The Martial Man a living learning environment rather than a library of recordings.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, the courses here meet you where you are and take you somewhere worth going.
