Nothing Makes Perfect

#15 Jon Yuen: Structure, Freedom, & Non-Optimization


Listen Later

Jon and I first came across each other about 5 years ago, when I taught a skill unit for an online group he was running. We immediately connected on how we thought about movement, but even more on putting people first. We’ve gone on to lead courses together such as The Movement Guild, bounce ideas around, and challenge each other to do meaningful work.


For many of you, Jon needs no introduction, but he does deserve it! Here are a few words of his:


About Jon

Hi! I’m Jon Yuen, I currently live in Norway and have a surname that’s difficult to pronounce.

This is due to the fact that my father’s from China - the same country where I lived when I studied martial arts. If anyone were to ask me which style of martial arts I specialized in, I would have a hard time providing an answer seeing as I’ve practiced too many of them - this is a result of my main philosophy, which is that everything’s interesting if you’re interested enough.

The same applies for the years when I worked as a professional dancer. I was incapable of settling on one style. Rather, I wanted to delve as deep as I could into each and every genre and culture, in an effort to understand what worked, how it worked and how it could it applied in other practices.
