Today's episode is a pre-recorded segment from my weekly Instagram Live Wednesday Whiskey News Recap Show for Asian Menswear. The purpose of the show is to update everyone on all of the news they might've missed. The report is centered around all the great things Asian men are doing in the U.S. and worldwide. Why is this important? It's good to provide real examples of Asian men doing more than just stereotypical things to prove we are more than that. I hope you guys enjoy this new segment.

Living Your Life for You, Not For What Others Expect Of You (Dealing With A Physically Abusive Father, Family Expectation To Become A Doctor, and More) Ft. | Jay Lee (Krav Maga Instructor/Founder of Korean Tiger Studios) | SPOTLIGHT
For today's Spotlight Episode, I'm excited to welcome Jay Lee to the show. He's a Krava Maga and Muy Thai Instructor and the founder of Korean Tiger Studios, where he provides coaching and training on martial arts and defense techniques.
Jay's inspiring journey into martial arts was born out of necessity. Being bullied in high school for being the only Asian kid in school to dealing with an abusive father at home, Jay found himself taking matters into his own hands when defending himself.
To make matters worse, Jay comes from a distinguished family with over 35 physicians who expected him to not only follow in their footsteps but inherit three family practices once he finished medical school. From the outside looking in, Jay had the golden ticket. All he had to do was follow the plan, however, Jay knew deep down inside this life wasn't for him. Ultimately, Jay had to make the difficult decision to either live a life expected of him or live his life the way he wants.
In this episode, we discuss:
Learning how to fight out of necessity
Having an abusive father who was an ex-marine in South Korea (getting drop kicked, father using weapons against him)
Having an abusive father who was an ex-marine in South Korea
Being in a family with over 35 physicians who expected him to follow in their footstep
Becoming the first Krav Maga certified Korean American
Family cutting him off after he made the decision not to pursue a career in the medical career
Having a chip on his shoulders
His thoughts on Asian Hate as someone who teaches self-defense for a living
Men should be able to protect their families
Sharing his best piece of advice
Where he envisions himself in the next five years.
