Had a powerful conversation with a homeless man that approached me while I was doing my Tai Chi form (Wu style). When he asked if it was meditation or martial (great question) I shared the concept of Time Under Tension to clarify your own body weight and structure to better prepare the practitioner for sparring. He loved the idea, and proceeded to share many powerful words of wisdom on life, for example:
• We’re all born knowing the Law of Attraction - all we have to do is cry to get what we want.
• Thinking is one step under Knowing.
• Spelling is important in all words (eluding to precise attention to detail, rather than relying on tools like autocorrect to allow us to not use parts of our brain).
I believe his name was Cordero and he was in the North Hollywood park off of Magnolia. If you happen to meet him, tell him Tai Chi Coach Jan says hi.
I’m honored to officially announce I’ll be the HEAD JUDGE of the very first World Series of Taiji Push Hands (). ALL martial artists, BJJ players, grapplers, wrestlers, and tough people are welcome to compete for the $1,000 PRIZE. In the spirit of Kendo, you’ll have to face off against the head judge after beating all competitors, so I suggest watching my YouTube channel as part of your preparation for March 26th. 😉💪☯️ Registration info is below:
