  • In Chinese Martial Arts, you will hear the statements, you are too Yin, or, your mind is too Yang? How do you use, or decode that?

    During this podcast I walk through the terms Yin and Yang and how they were used. When they became connected to a map, that followed the sun, and then later became the symbol we think of today.

    If you would like to get the full Yin/Yang Map and a PDF Bullet List of the major points that I go through during this podcast, you can go to :

    www.tibetankungfu.net/81

    You can have it delivered directly to your mailbox.

    I hope you enjoy it.

  • Motivation is often over rated.


    Waiting till you feel right to do something is simply a form excused
    procrastination. As practitioners of Martial Arts of any style and for
    any reason. We have to work to developing our self-discipline.

  • Fear comes in many shapes and colors. Some fears of our physical
    well-being are engrained at a fundamental level, as described in
    Maslow's Heirarchy of needs. Some fears are foreshadows of what pain and
    discomfort would be like, the fear of falling, the fear of drowing, in
    martial arts, the fear of getting hit.


    The fear precedes an actual event, and if the fear is strong enough it
    can immobilize us till we can't move or perform.


    What about fears that there is no inherit risk to our physical being?


    The fear of public speaking


    The fear of making a mistake in front of audience


    The fear of performing


    The fear of looking silly


    These fears put us at no physical risk, but puts our ego and self-worth
    in the cross-hairs.


    Some fears can be worked through by 'doing', you put yourself in a
    position to be safe as possible and work on it, for example, the fear of
    falling.


    With fears of performing, whether as a painter, an actor, or a martial
    artist, 'doing' will not be enough to achieve your highest level of
    success. You can't 'do' painting, you have to 'be' a painter.


    What does it take to 'be' a painter, be a martial artist? I walk you
    through step by step during this podcast.

    The 3 month window called the Holiday Season, the time of higher joys,
    higher expectations, higher stress. We put together an class that will
    meet each thursday until January to give us all a little extra support.


    A listener left a Review:



    "Wow, I can't praise enough. I found these today and feel like I hit the
    jackpot. Sifu Smith, what a generous service you are providing. Beyond
    the wisdom and compassion you convey, the fact that you are providing
    these through a non-cost podcast conveys even more to me. It's not so
    easy to find consistent and high quality instruction or content for
    free. Practically nothing is free anymore. What I have learned already
    is invaluable, so thank you, thank you. You are a good person and a good
    representative of what you teach."
