Some of us are lucky enough to have our life’s greatest passion introduced to us when we’re young. Others spend years trying to figure out what sets their heart on fire. For Justin Hourn, it was absolutely the former. Martial arts have always been a constant in Justin’s life. Having fallen in love with them initially with Karate lessons back in the day, his passion for the craft led him to become a teacher while at uni. Since then, he’s spread his knowledge throughout Malaysia, China and more, and now his sights are set on the hectic world of folkstyle wrestling. So how does one go about making martial arts their whole life? We sat down with Justin to talk about why he thinks everyone should give martial arts a go, and his plans to start the ultimate school of martial arts that’s inclusive and fruitful for all. PTV: What do you love most about martial arts? Justin: It’s just a great vehicle for consistency and change, and it’s done in a healthy way.
