The Martial Man is a global learning platform dedicated to traditional martial arts, internal arts, and qi gong.
Our mission is to preserve valuable knowledge by helping practitioners around the world learn directly from experienced instructors through structured online education.
We believe the traditional arts should remain accessible to those willing to learn.
For many people, access to teaching is limited by geography, language, and opportunity. Valuable knowledge often remains hidden behind distance or disappears over time.
By bringing together instructors, practitioners, and dedicated learning tools in one place, The Martial Man makes it possible to build a meaningful practice — wherever you are in the world.
The Martial Man is built around three pillars designed to support long-term practice.
Our structured courses guide you from first principles to refined practice through clear, sequential lessons taught directly by experienced instructors.
Whether you are exploring Tai Chi, Qi Gong, internal martial arts, or traditional systems from around the world, every course is created in collaboration with the instructor so their teachings are shared accurately and respectfully.
Learning does not end when a lesson finishes. Course Guide is built directly into supported lessons to help you understand more, retain more, and return to what matters.
Ask lesson-specific questions, review key concepts, save important moments, track your progress, and reinforce your understanding through thoughtful self-review tools — all designed to support deliberate practice.
Practice grows stronger when shared with others. Circles are dedicated spaces where instructors and practitioners can learn, discuss, ask questions, and support one another beyond the lessons.
From open discussion Circles to instructor-led Circles, they create opportunities for deeper learning and meaningful connection.
Our story
Founded by martial artist and filmmaker Kieren Krygier, The Martial Man began with a simple goal: document and preserve valuable knowledge before it disappears.
Over the past decade, Kieren has travelled the world to interview instructors, explore the traditional arts, and share rare teachings with millions of viewers online.
Today, that mission continues through a platform designed to help practitioners learn directly from experienced instructors and build a sustainable, lifelong practice.
Platform integrations
Instructors who host a Circle can connect their Google account to schedule Live Sessions. When a host schedules a session, The Martial Man creates an event on their Google Calendar with a Google Meet joining link attached, and removes that event again if the host deletes the session. That is the only reason the platform requests access to Google Calendar events.
Alongside calendar access, the connection identifies the host’s Google account by its email address, so the host can always see which account is connected. The connection tokens are stored encrypted, are never shared with anyone, and are used solely to manage the calendar events for the sessions the host schedules.
Hosts can disconnect Google at any time from their Circle’s Live Session settings — disconnecting deletes the stored connection and its tokens — and can additionally revoke the platform’s access from their Google Account permissions page.
