Remove 3 Barriers of Learning Martial Arts or Anything Else

Recently I had posted a picture of me and Kian wrestling at the beach.

You can see that picture below.

It was a time where Kian was learning wrestling, and of course the

famous Shawn Michaels and UnderTaker are two of our favorites. I had

made the comment on the post that "You Don’t Want to Be in Your Own Way"

while learning.

It stimulated some wonderful responses and a couple of questions.. ie.

"It would be great to get out of my own way when learning something, How

do you do it?"

That prompted this podcast. I have discussed how we learn motor skills

from more a biomechanical and bio-neurological perspective in episodes :

Original Webpage : www.tibetankungfu.net/65

Psychological Approach

This is the psychological approach to learning, During Part 1 I address :

How does it apply to adults versus children?

What is the first, most important ingredient that you must have?

What are 3 barriers that you must minimize or remove to promote learning?

What is the neuroscience that supports this learning model?

Where is the GateKeeper of the Human Mind, that allow information to

pass from the senses, to the memory?

Being Smooth is one of the most important components of a practice. It

comes after we have developed the concepts of what we are trying to do

(memory and objective), then the biomechanics of how to do it, and the

correct alignment throughout our body..

After that, we delve into being smooth.

We will look at what a smooth practice demands of us physically and

mentally.

What part of the brain is primarily responsible for being smooth?

What is the number one ingredient for smoothness to be present?

What impact does smoothness have to people that practice for combat?

What influence does pacing have to looking for smoothness?

This week I will share stories of people who practice being smooth, and

get paid millions to do it. The "Why and The How" of Being Smooth..

Word Search Puzzle

I thought it would be fun to provide a Word Search Puzzle. It has the main

ingredients to putting Smoothness in Your Practice as the Clue

Words. You can download the image and print it.. or you can complete it

online. The Links are in this weeks Newsletter.

Tai Chi Chuan is a Peng Jin Chuan, Without Peng Jin There is No

Tai Chi Chuan"

In Podcast of Tibetan KungFu #63:

I discuss a few minutes on this weeks meditation topic, Acceptance.

Then we investigate the main ingredient of Tai Chi Chuan, called Peng

Jin.

Acceptance

A primary emotional intelligence skill that we must all practice to

first have a realistic view of the circumstances and faces around us.

Consider all the other detrimental emotions we experience when we fail

to accept people and circumstances as they are, at this moment in time.

But it is the balance of Acceptance that is also critical. Because you

are personally responsible for certain things too.

Peng Jing

I put in more hour of research for this podcast that perhaps I have for

any other. Peng Jing was explained to me from a classical Chinese

perspective, which was difficult to understand, but do-able, and then

when I got hit with it a few times, and got hit when I didn’t have it, I

accepted Peng Jing is something you better find, whether you understood

it or not.

Recently a student asked me to explain it, and this student likes

everything to be sorted in a nice, neat box. One rule, one tool.. and

Peng Jing is far from being neatly stored into a single box. It is one

of those concepts that :

Chinese Academic Scholars argue about it’s original meaning.

The character itself bears out multiple meanings to be aware of.

It is a character that isn’t used very often, so it leaves room for

non-corrected interpretations.

You can see when you understand it, but it is nearly invisible if you

don’t.

It is both energetic expression, like "he looked very poised", and

It is a method of expression, or a number of techniques.

Far from being a neat, clean, sort into a box understanding.

Often I am asked if I can teach the Martial Tai Chi, often referred to

as Tai Chi Chuan. Martial Art is a term that can flex in meaning and

often lead to confusion.

So what does "Martial Arts" mean to you?

Health Practice

For some it is a style or system and they practice for health.

Some practice for understanding a philosophical structure of life and a

cultural experience.

ZhaoShu - Movie Kungfu

Others want to know what the movements do, and enjoy practice the

gestures of movement, but they are not interested getting striking or

getting struck, throwing or getting thrown, being the Purveyor of Pain.

Learning the Gestures of Martial Arts with delivering the force is often

what you see in the movies, in kungfu they call this ‘ZhaoShu’.

This does help someone understand concepts of movement and is great for

creating a ‘textured’ or deeper understanding in the motor cortex, so

that your file called ‘Single Whip’ isn’t just a motion with points of

precision, but there is feeling in it too.

Martial Combat

But to cross over to the Martial Combat Side, there is more to be done.

Civilian Self Protection and Para-Military Training have combative

aspects, but their objectives are very different. Certainly all versions

of combative sport have their objective which is much different than the

others as well.

It’s not that one is better, or more right for you. It is a matter that

you know why you are practicing and that your practice matches up with

your intent.

I wanted to send some encouragement out to everyone in the Kungfu Family as we approach the Weekend.

Whether you practice Martial Arts for health, show, combat, or as a philosophical way of life, it requires that reach deep to stay on track.

Having a creative mind is a blend of objective, thinking and imagining. Martial Arts, Life Circumstances and Business all favor those who can be creative when necessary.

Critical to Success in Life, Business and Martial Arts is the ability to

dynamically respond.

During TKF Podcast #56 we will look at :

What does a fluid, dynamic response mean?

Why is it essential?

How do you become readily responsive?

3 Domains that it is essential :

It applies in business : Article on businesses that dynamically respond,

and succeed.

In Life : Charles Darwin points to responsiveness over all other

qualities. Forbes has article on how personal career’s fail when we

can’t flex to respond.

In Martial Arts, Self Protection : Your ability to have any defense is

correlated with your agility to flex with circumstances and your

objective.

5 Steps to Becoming Dynamically Responsive

In the next newsletter, I will put the 5

Steps to Becoming Dynamically Responsive Outline

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most

intelligent, but the one most responsive to change,” by Charles Darwin.

in Practice

Rational Thoughts and Emotions can lead to either rational or irrational

actions.

In Martial Arts and Life, that can lead to problems and costly failures.

But being able to differentiate between them in yourself is a first

ingredient.

Not making ‘morals’ or ‘qualities’ like ‘truth and lies’ synonymous to

rational or irrational is important.

How embracing the irrational is being as perfect as the rational creates

a paradigm shift, that help in all aspects of life.

In the Podcast Based on Perspective of Rational Thoughts and Actions

:

Why does the irrational make sense sometimes?

Why is it important to identify it in yourself?

Why are some emotions very rational?

How does it relate to martial arts?

There are several class

and workshop changes coming in July.
