Welcome Hudson Valley! This is Conor Walsh, host of In Touch, Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley’s Award-Winning Public Affairs and Issues program. This week on In Touch, we speak with Malachy Silva, Head Coach and Owner of Midtown Jiu Jitsu in Kingston. Malachy and I discuss what sets Jiu Jitsu apart from other popular forms of martial arts, why it is an important practical skill to learn for self-defense, and how the sport fosters an encouraging and competitive community.
