Sifu Dave Ferreira - Empowerment, Restraint, Veganism,  and The 90's Hardcore Music Scene | Matt Scarfo Podcast #2

Sifu Dave is a combat sports teacher and student, a devout vegan, and 90's NYHC street kid. In this conversation, we speak about kids in combat sports, teaching restraint, empowering women, the 90's sXe scene, and veganism. Sifu Dave tells us how he went from growing up a street kid in Manhattan, teaching preschool, knee-deep in the 90's punk scene, to empowering women to confide strength in themselves, then finally - being a good Man, Father, and Husband.
