    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.

      Those are excellent supplements for anti-viral as well as anti-aging.
      No doubt people give you all sorts of unsolicited advice, why would I be different, lol.
      I would add the amino acid L-Lysine. It is a proven anti-viral. It works by limiting the virus' ability to use your cells to replicate. There is no proof, as yet, that it works with c0vid but at the minimum it can help with secondary infections. Another supplement I would add is Quercetin. Quercetin helps the zinc actually get in the cells.

    I donated an irresponsible amount of money (lol, yolo) to USDC2 so I I got an email saying that I can watch the first 2 episodes on patreon if I want, but I'd prefer to wait until they get released on the main channel because it will feel more like the hype for the first season where everyone was waiting a week for each new episode and there was a huge frenzy when the episode finally got released. It's just more fun to watch with knowing thousands of other people are seeing it and looking down at the comments sections full of thousands of comments saying that this is one of the best things on youtube.

    Hey man, I just wanted to say that I've been dealing with crushing fatigue and sleepiness for over a year at this point and I've been continiously told that there is nothing wrong with me, that I'm just lazy/unmotivated, depressed, that I need to exercise more and stuff, even though I was by no means inactive before. Your story is a very unfortunate yet eye-opening example of how even people who are active can suffer from fatigue and how doctors (at least in my experience) quickly jump to the conclusion that if you're tired, you're just lazy, since "we're all tired". You're clearly an extremely resilient and hard-working person and yet even you have been struck down with fatigue and brain fog. It took me over a year to finally convince my GP to refer me to a neurologist to test for sleep disorders after having to bash my head against a wall trying to explain to everyone that it really isn't my fault that I'm so tired and sleepy.
    I just want to say that I wish you the best of luck. Fatigue and brain fog are very misunderstood and underestimated by many people, including medical professionals. But this is not to say that this isn't real. Take care Rokas, take as much time as you need to recover.

    I picked Covid up on a cruise ship a few months ago (no I'm not rich, it was a deal!). Docked in Rotterdam and a friend of mine went into Amsterdam to check out all the knocking shops. I was stuck in the room shivering and looking out the window all day at a guy in a crane going up and down a high rise cleaning the windows, and some old woman came out on to her balcony every two hours to smoke a cigarette. Best holiday ever....... Also suffered with the brain fog and a strange almost spinning sensation for quite some time after. It takes a while but you'll get there. Looking forward to seeing you back on your game Rokas, all the best.

    Resting effects of COVID ain't no joke. Comes from both COVID itself and even from the shot. For me, Omicron kicked back my asthma that was gone since 7th grade and had me on inhalers for couple months. I feel you, wish you swift recovery, and take as much time for yourself.
    Although I am beyond thrilled to go on yet another epic adventure with USDC, you deserve rest and sound recovery.
    It sucks not being able to do what you love because of your body failing (I too share your pain at the moment), but recovery is just as important task and requires all the efforts you can give.

      From my personal experience, everyone I know that got the shot (Pfizer) and didn't get super sick from Covid are feeling just fine, even people with a history of allergies. I, on the other hand, got a very bad Covid infection and ended up with long Covid. If I am not mistaken, that's what you see happening with populational data as well. Chances are taking shots is still safer than not doing it. As for me, after two long years I still don't feel like myself. Brain fog is getting slowly better, as well as my energy levels, but it feels like I am going to end up in a sub-optimal plateau. Long Covid is no joke. I wish the best of luck to all of you out there that are going through the same! Let's follow Rokas' example and never give up. Stay weel y'all!

    Much love to you, Rokas! I've learned from a major bout with the worst depression of my life is that if you don't help yourself first, you can't help anyone else. "Help" being used loosely here, as that can mean give, entertain, teach, etc. etc. Sometimes it sounds/feels selfish, but when it gets that serious it's actually the opposite. I loved USDC season 1, the editing was phenomenal (you're seriously a pro at that) so I, being poor, have only my dreams. I spread my dreams at your feet. Tread softly, lest you---wait a sec...I'll rephrase that. Being poor, I have no problems waiting until September for all of season 2. Which is odd coming from someone as impatient as me.

I think any attention to this problem is great! People think you look okay, but you are not! Best of Luck on your recovery and keep up the Great work!

    I feel for you Rokas. I was a long hauler too. What most people don't know is that covid affects all mucous membranes including the membranes inside of the gut. Sync with vitamin c helped. Probiotics also helped. Make sure you're eating your fermented and pickled foods to also help rebuild that gut bacteria.

    Hey, Rokas! As a mental health professional, I can't help but notice that you've been doing alot these years. Most of your videos involve almost giving up, struggles, doubt , high stress, etc. Have you thought about burnout? Not as a substitute for Long Covid, but as something that may be allowing that to happen, or at least impede your recovery. How's your mental health? (not to be answered, but just food for thought) :D

    Hello Rokas, thank you for your Covid19 sharing. I an similar experience. Me and my family first Covid19 infection in early 2022. None of my colleagues & my wife believe me when I say I cannot think properly & make decisions properly. There so much uncertainty and worries going over my head. Being a first time dad to my son. I feel I fail him even today. And my senior think I am just giving excuses tat I feel very tired and cannot deliver many projects in time. But I still need to work and earn a living for my family sake. So I kept my head down and keep my ego in check. My family got a second infection in April 2023. And my wife start to understand what I mean by the Long Covid I felt back in 2022. My senior at work got her 1st Covid19 infections in 2024. The same happened to my wife's employers. Now hopefully they will understand the challenges we face. So I feel you of this 'Pain'. Hang on there and don't give in. There are people who depends on you. So do not keep ur head down for too long. Get up and get going!
    PS: I am interested of the supplements tat you were introduced to help with your long Covid journey of recovery. Please share. Thank you.

    So sorry to hear you got long covid with the chronic fatigue. I have one friend who caught it right at the start of the pandemic in London where she was at the time. She experienced the same symptoms you describe. Still does 4 years post-pandemic. It's heartbreaking when you see what it does to people. My friend was previously an athlete and training hard (was a decent competitor) but after catching long Covid basically meant the end of her career. So sorry to hear you got it man. I am aware that there are places that are trying to do alternative treatments (i.e. in Germany) to try and tackle long Covid but don't take my word for it, do your research. Curious: What supplements have you/are currently using to tackle your symptoms?
    I sincerely hope you don't just feel better but do become better. Always been a fan of you.

    It‘s sad that long covid continues to be underdiagnosed although by now it‘s a well known consequence. I‘m happy that you could find a way to treat yourself.
    On the note of editing: Beside your current financial situation, dude if you really want to micromanage everything, the consequence will be that you get done less and less in the long run. The problem with the upload of the martial arts challenge seems kind of a red flag to me.
