Sifu Lawrence Hill speaks about living your personality and what that means.  Most of us go through our days "acting" a personality that isn't true to our core values; Sifu expresses his views on how to get closer to that authentic self.  Tai Chi is meant to become a part of us and when we practice it, it is designed to help us understand our own movement and by virtue of that each of our individual personalities.  Eventually Tai Chi should be in everything that we do and the same goes for our personality: it shouldn't change based on where we find ourselves or who we are with.

Our guest today is a student of Sifu's who trained while earning his PhD: Dr Donglai Gong is an Oceanographer.  Today we discuss the physics and atmosphere of the oceans and how those affect the world.  Other topics include, fish farming, clean energy and what we can do to mitigate the damage and give the oceans time to recover.

This may seem like a departure from the Martial Arts based philosophy but  no one lives in a bubble; we can't understand the self without being aware of the environment that influences it.
