The Pod of Five Rings Ep. 10 - Only The Strong

Published: April 24, 2021, 8:22 p.m.

The story of a passionate teacher reaching the troubled youth is almost a guaranteed success. Add in the acrobatic beauty of Afro-Brazilian Capoeira and the charisma of Mark Dacascos, and you’ve got 1993’s Only The Strong. 


Mixing martial arts action and “To Sir, With Love” themes, Only The Strong is an underrated gem of a movie. Join your hosts @joe_cebula and @rock.n.rowland as we get the drums going and dive in on this week’s Pod of Five Rings.
