In this episode, Patrick Oancia talks with Ryan Hurst about his immersion into Gymnastics in Wichita, Kansas, from a young age through to decades as a devoted martial artist and ex-pat in Japan.  

His immersion into the Japanese culture was shaped by these and other experiences, and that all led to his co-founding GMB Fitness in 2010.

Baseworks Transmission

These Baseworks Transmission conversations look at both the concrete and abstract realizations that emerge from a commitment to any kind of practice or pursuit to achieve life goals. The ideas get unpacked from their subjectivity, and the outcome of each transmission sets out to discover critical feature patterns and construct common recognition categories of physical and introspective experiences.
