Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz cultivates an image of a street fighter, but in the video below from Fight Magazine he explains that he’s actually been a student of traditional martial arts since he was a small child.
“I did aikido when I was four years old,” Diaz says. “My first experience of doing martial arts was weird, real traditional, strange smell with incense burning. We did a lot of bowing, it was a lot of path of least resistance and go with the flow. … Really good stuff for when you’re at a young age.”
