Abstract

As vaccines become more readily available and more people worldwide begin resuming ‘normal’ activities, it is a good time to reflect on the taken-for-granted aspects of ‘normal’ life. Martial arts communities are not exempt from the racism, discrimination, and inequalities that have long plagued social life. This is a good time to challenge the practices that contribute to such injustices. It is also a good time to think about what aspects of life under lockdown might be worth carrying into the future. Facing this pandemic has given rise to many innovations and acts of compassion that are worth continuing.
