Ken Shadow Goodman is a fascinating man. He grew in Brooklyn New York and eventually found himself on the wrong side of the law. in prison there are two options, one merely survives or one thrives. Ken is the latter! Though he has martial arts background before prison, while in he learned the 52 Blocks fighting system but he also learned other martial arts and began blending pieces of all these systems or more accurately distilled down concepts and techniques in to his own system, 52VTK.  Something that sets both Ken and 52VTK apart is it was developed in the ultimate pressure testing grounds, inside prison where the person you're fighting isn't simply an opponent, they are looking to kill or seriously hurt.  This conversation absolutely exceeded my expectations and Ken is one of the most open, honest, genuine, and forthright guys you'll ever meet!  You can find Ken on IG at 52_VTK or on facebook at 52 Ways To Strive.
