    Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey TH-cam channel!
    My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
    Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
    After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my TH-cam channel called "Martial Arts Journey".
    Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

    Mike
    -killed both of his teammates
    -singlehandedly killed all the zombies in the area
    -murdered a innocent child causing the family to now live in a state of depression
    -was allowed into the first group and took control
    -was fully prepared to try capture a zombie
    -died like a absolute badass at the end

    Rokas, this is seriously just an amazing series. I watch a LOT of TH-cam and i can't say that I've ever been so excited for a set of videos to come out. Just an amazing job. I feel like I'm watching a legitimate network TV show when I'm tuning in.
    Also, huge props to the staff planning this all out and putting it on. The zombie/bad guy actors and director of the self defense training program are the unsung heroes of all this.
    I truly think i didn't stop smiling the whole way through this video 😂

    Rokas man, youve really outdone yourself! Loving this series and already hoping there will be a second. If people want to see more of this then show support with comments, liking and subscribing. Lets get the likes up there with the views!

    Rokas, you don’t need to worry about MMA, you are a pretty much pro TV producer now. Hope you are getting rewards financially as well, since you took pretty big risks.
    In terms of the mission… yeah no surprise, two biggest and strongest guys survived. Icy Mike though… Dude. I’m glad Seth finished him in the end, he deserved it.

    Mike's been training his whole life for this scenario.

    Every episode is even better than the previous one, which is no small feat because they are all amazing. Seriously, every video deserves a bazillion views! I love zombie horror movies and shows, so this one was extraordinarily exciting for me.
