Wellness in China

In this episode of the Wellness in China podcast I speak with Dan Siekman, co-founder of the popular natural fruit energy bar, Dali Bar.

 

Dali Bar uses natural ingredients like figs, almonds, cashews, ginger, cacao powder, dates etc. to make some of the best tasting energy bars I’ve ever had.

 

They are more and more prevalent in shops and restaurants in Shanghai these days, so that, combined with how impressed I’ve always been with the product, inspired me to get one of the founders on the show to share the Dali Bar story.

 

We cover a lot of ground in this episode (as usual), talking about Dan’s journey to being an entrepreneur after a slew of unsatisfying roles, the amazing pre-founding story of Dali Bar and the other successful ventures the team has been involved in, the challenges they are facing in communicating their brand values and scaling to a larger customer base, and lots more.

 

One of the big takeaways from this episode, is the patience and perseverance that Dan and his team have exhibited, and their core motivations for their businesses that allow them to take a ‘long-term’ approach, in an era where so many are discouraged if success does not materialize immediately.

 

Lots here for anyone looking for more insight on the realities of entrepreneurship, especially those looking to start niche products here in China, and the mindsets and tactics required to give yourself a leg up.

 

Finally, this was our first ’sponsored’ episode, so thanks to Dali Bar for the box full of delicious bars!

What a ride!

听天由命！

 

As I write this, it’s 11 days since fight night.

当我在写这篇文章时，拳击比赛结束已有11天了。

 

It’s only now sinking in that the journey is over, and ‘normal’ life is beginning to settle in again. I have to be honest, it’s kind of boring. Now that the fear, anxiety, anticipation and excitement have been removed, things seem a little dull. I’m sure this will subside as life fills back up with other priorities and concerns, but the immediate sensation right after everything has concluded is a bit odd.

此时此刻，我才回过神来，原来这段路程已经走到了终点。我又再度回到“正常”的生活了。老实说，还真有些无聊！当恐惧、焦虑、期待与激动的情绪都消退以后，生活反而变得乏味了。我相信这种感觉终究也会消退，因为生活会被其他要事逐一充斥。可是，当星月消失的一刹那，夜空亦会显得孤凄。

I talked a lot throughout the training how the focus on preparing for the fight caused a lot of ‘less pressing’ or less important aspects of my life to drop off a bit, which was true, and it was a focus that I really enjoyed. Now that it’s over, I definitely feel like finding another challenge that will have the same effect. I just feel like the benefits of that focus and commitment are too many not to continue to put myself in a scenario that will bring them about.

我在受训过程中多次谈及关于当您全神贯注于一件事情，生活里其他事情就显得相对琐碎。这显然是对的。我特别享受其中过程。虽然赛事已告一段落，我却很向往新的挑战，以重温当时的感受。我觉得把专注力与承诺放在一件事情上实在太重要了。

 

Of course that all said, I’m not going to worry about it for the time being. I’ll enjoy the Christmas Holidays at home, and re-access early in the new year, to determine what the next challenge will be.

话虽如此，我不会过于焦虑。我会待在家里先好好享受圣诞假日。到了明年年初才重新出发，去寻找新的挑战。

 

Ok, so to fight night.

好吧，我们来谈一谈当晚的赛况。

We weighed-in the night before at Golden Gloves gym, and met at the venue the following day at noon to do a ‘walk-through’ of the event.

在比赛前一晚，我们聚在Golden Gloves健身室里作实力评估。隔天中午，我们再次相聚在健身室，做一次赛事排演。

 

My father had flown in for the event, so after we were done at the venue, we went for a walk in the park and then came back to the dressing room at 5, where we had to stay until our fight started (mine was at about 9:30 I think).

我的爸爸专程飞来看我比赛。排演完毕后，我和爸爸在公园里散了一会儿步，五点钟便回到更衣室。我们必须在那里待着，一直到比赛开始（我的比赛大约九点半开始）。

 

Besides the long time spent waiting, it was fun being in the back room, watching my teammates prepare mentally and physically and for their fights.

在漫长的等待里，我看着队友在为比赛作精神上与生理上的准备，有一种不可言喻的乐趣。

 

We managed to stream the fights on YouKu to someone’s phone, so we were able to watch the fights while we waited, which was fun.

我们在一个队友的手机里成功从优酷上播放赛况，在等待的同时亦能观赏比赛，真过瘾！

Shortly before my fight, one of our coaches wrapped my hands, and I did some shadowboxing and some pad-work to warm-up.

在我出赛以前，教练抓住我的双手，我随手打出空拳与引靶以热身备战。

 

I was focused on getting a bit of a sweat on and my heart-rate up, but I can’t say there were many nerves, if anything I was calmly just waiting to see ‘what it would be like’ when my music came on and I walked out.

当时，汗水渐渐开始渗透，心跳也跟着加速。但我并不紧张。当音乐响起时，我便淡定地走了出去。

 

Well, it was awesome. When it was fight time we got walked through the back and behind the curtain where we would walk out. My coaches met me there, and gave me a few final words of support.

那种感觉真棒啊！当比赛开始的时候，我们从帷幕后方走向擂台。教练在擂台旁给我最后的支持与鼓励。

My opponent walked out first, and then it was my turn. I still wasn’t really that nervous, and when my music started playing, I walked out, and stopped briefly at the top of the runway. I spread my arms out straight to my sides at shoulder level, and tipped my head back. I did this just to try and absorb the moment, and the energy of it all. It came naturally and felt really good. After that I walked to the ring, shuffled around it a bit, and headed to my corner. It all felt really comfortable, nerves weren’t really a part of it.

我的对手首先登场，我才接着出场。届时，我仍然保持镇定。当音乐响起，我便迈步往前，然后在走道上停了一下。我自然而然地把手臂伸展到肩膀两侧，头部向后轻仰，籍此凝聚力量和使自己融入气氛里。接着，我便走了上擂台。在擂台上绕了一圈后...

We’re here.

我们又回来了。

In a couple days, it’ll all be over.

还有几天，这一切就结束了。

What a great journey it has been, and just a few days until fight night.

距离比赛的日子只剩下几天，这一路走来真的非常精彩！

At this point, the hard work is done, and it’s just about staying sharp and fresh.

眼下最艰难的时刻已经过去了。现在我只需时刻保持清醒与敏锐。

The final week has been mostly sparring for me, building up my ‘ring cardio’ and sharpening things up. There’s not much you can learn and actually integrate into your game in just one week, so again, the focus has been on polishing what is there already.

最后一周的大部分时间都花在拳击练习、建立擂台意识和加强各项训练。距离比赛仅有一个星期，已经没有太多时间让我去学习新的技术，现在只能重点加强本身已学会的。

Other than that I feel lean, strong and fast — ready for battle.

快来吧！我已经感觉自己犹如一张拉得十分饱满的弓——决斗一触即发！

Start Weight: 88.5KG

Closing thoughts:

我的感想：

I’ve been mostly focused on preparation lately, so I haven’t reflected too much on the whole experience. Besides, I’ll do most of that when it’s all over (and do a ‘Week 11’ post). But like I’ve said in the past, it’s interesting to notice all the internal chatter that goes on as a large challenge looms. On the one hand, this is exactly the sensation that I was seeking when I signed up for this. To challenge myself, to put something scary on the horizon and rise to the test, work hard, overcome fear, and learn about myself more deeply than before. Of course, it’s easy to romanticize about that journey at the beginning, and it sounds good on paper, but then the reality of it all begins to set in, and you realize, ‘oh yeah, this is REALLY going to challenge me, to push me beyond my limits, and it’s GOING to be uncomfortable. There are GOING to be aspects about it that will make you second guess your decision, maybe even try to convince you that it isn’t that important. But, I believe, this is the monkey mind. The little comfort-seeking rascal inside you that wants you to preserve a certain image of yourself, regardless of the ‘truth’. It becomes clear that even if the reason for embarking on this kind of challenge wasn’t entirely obvious at the beginning, it is now, and it’s exactly that little rascal that you wanted to shake up, or to get greater control over, so that more of ‘you’ can emerge. As the fight draws near, he seems to make his final last-ditch efforts to stay relevant, and though it’s not necessarily easy (despite understanding the process underway), it’s pretty awesome to be able to gain control over that dude and put him in his place, and show him who the REAL boss around here is:)  Does that make any sense?

最近，我一直专注于赛事准备，还未来得及回顾整个过程的体验。等比赛结束以后，我将会在第11周的帖子里与大家分享。正如我之前所说的，当前面有一项巨大的挑战等着您去迎接，心理的锐变过程是十分玩味的。这恰恰是我作为一名拳击手所要追求的——勇于挑战自我、自强不息、克服恐惧、自我反省。当然了，若一开始想要浪漫化这段历程是很简单的事；而实际上，当您上了路才会意识到 ：哦！这真是一大挑战，它会把我推向极限、把我逼出舒适区！所面对的各种困难都会动摇您当初的决定，甚至试图困惑您，让您认为自己正在做的这件事不是那么重要、非完成不可。我认为这都是心思不专所导致的，是心理在作祟，企图把您赶回舒适区内，让您变回原来那个懦弱的自己。虽然一开始踏上这段路程的理由并不明确，但此时此刻，您的思维得清晰起来，您确定要击败内心的魑魅魍魉，以塑造一个更强大的自己。当比赛渐渐逼近，我内心的那个鬼魅还在试图说服我放弃。虽然要战胜它并非易事，但是我终究成功控制了它，不让它继续嚣张作祟。我要让心里的那个鬼魅知道，这里究竟谁作主！这有意思吗？呵！不闹了！

That’s me signing off. I’d like to express a sincere thank-you to everyone who has followed along during the series, I hope you enjoyed it! Would also like to say how grateful I am to those sponsors who have been ‘in my corner’ supplying me with some of their amazing products during training.

Wish me luck! I’ll be back next week with a recap on the whole experience….now if you’ll excuse me there’s a trophy I need to go winJ

以上是我这一期的感悟和结语。祝我好运吧！下周我会给大家带来我的全程经历分享（和奖杯！）。

Wooooo! Starting to feel it now!

 

Just over a week until fight night!

 

Training is going well, feeling strong, confident, focused, and this is causing a corresponding shift in mentality as the fight draws nearer.

 

The training sessions continue to include a mix of cardio training, drilling and sparring, and I continue to feel sharper in all areas.

 

I’ve also noticed something interesting happening with my perception of the ‘outside world’ as we get closer and closer to the fight. As it gets closer, my mind is increasingly on the many details involved in preparation, and less so on the minutia of my everyday life. It’s interesting how the challenges of everyday life fade into the background, or in some cases go away entirely, when there is something more pressing and more intense on the horizon that is drawing the majority of your focus, effort and attention. It’s fascinating how the purpose and intention devoted to preparing for all this can precipitate such a change in how you look out at the world around you.

 

I’ve heard athletes (and other ‘performers’) talk about this before, whereby other issues or concerns seem to dissolve and give way to a focus on the high-risk/reward challenge on the horizon (whether physical or otherwise). I know this may sound bad, but you kinda begin to look out on the world and say, man, it looks so simple, even easy. Of course I know this isn’t the case, everyone has their own shit to deal with, but again, when you place a significant challenge on the horizon, with high stakes, and commit yourself to preparing as well as possible for it, a lot of the other stuff begins to seem relatively mild in comparison.

 

I feel like this might be part of the reason why high-performance athletes, performers, or individuals are so inclined to pursue the things they pursue, because they ‘get off’ on the grind and determination of the preparation, the thrill and excitement of performing, and the relative simplicity that is bestowed on everything else.

 

As always, who know’s. It’s actually kind of ironic that the addition of something that represents a major time commitment and added level of stress on top of your everyday life could have this effect, but that’s how it seems!

 

I’m sure this will ‘snap back’ to a great extent after the fight is done and dusted, but I’m hoping that some of this perspective remains as one of the many benefits derived from taking on this challenge. But for now at least, the simplicity is refreshing.

Topic: Mental Toughness

 

Q: Where does mental toughness come from?

A: Mental toughness, as the word says, a construct of the mind. It’s a growth mindset, that is trained up and hardened through challenges and failures. It comes from life experiences that tests one’s resolve.

 

Q: What is the biggest barrier to ‘accessing’ it?

A: That is again, your mind. Fear of failure is a big barrier for people in general. When you’re afraid of failing, you won’t try.  You, will always be your greatest opponent.

 

Q: Can you train it or cultivate it in any way?

A:  Absolutely, you can!  Mental toughness is not a secret weapon that is locked up in a treasure chest that one can reach into and use when the time comes, but rather an attribute of one’s mindset. It’s an acquired skill; a mental behaviour that you have instilled through training that manifests itself through your actions.  For some it may come naturally, but for most, it’s coached and trained up like any other skill.  The more hardship one faces, the tougher they are mentally.   This is why people who are afraid of failing are also mentally not as tough because they haven’t faced the chall...

Man, I can’t believe it’s Week 8 already! Time seems to be flying by.

 

I think this is probably a normal phenomenon when you have a challenge waiting for you on the horizon, for which a great deal of preparation is required. Your mind is thinking about all the things that need to be improved, and the degree of improvement required, before you put yourself to the test.

Of course, there is no end to improvement, so it will always seem there are more things to do than time in which to do it, hence, the feeling of time being accelerated.

 

Anyways, training progresses in all areas, and the intensity increases each week, with more fight simulation, sparring, etc. As a result everyone is left to pursue any cardiovascular training they want to do on their own.

Even though it can sometimes be hard to discern the little voice in you’re head from the truth of the matter, I try to ‘listen’ to my body on the days in between sessions at Golden Gloves. If I’m really sore and feeling a little run down, I may take it off entirely. If I’m feeling pretty fresh, I’ll do something light for active recovery, or even something more intense which is intended to enhance endurance etc.

 

The mentality during training certainly is becoming more important as we get closer to fight night. Some training sessions, you feel good, you notice improvement, your confidence grows, others, you feel the opposite, perhaps you’re sparring partner got the better of you, and it can wane. Developing a healthy perspective on this process, and planning for the ups and downs, seems to be key in making progress.

All other areas are still tight and on point. Clean diet, effective recovery, balance between exertion and rest, and the usual things I’m doing to make sure I’m at my BEST come fight night.

 

Starting to feel the excitement for the fight, let’s go!

 

Sponsor in Focus: Yummy Avocados

 

So I eat a lot of avocados, like at least one a day, often times 2, and I recommend them to almost everyone looking to improve their diet. Why? Well, that could get lengthy, so I’ll just say that they are loaded with Vitamins, Minerals, Phytonutrients, Antioxidants, Fiber, and (Healthy) Monounsaturated Fats. As a result, Avocados can be a good way to:

 

– Improve Cardiovascular Health

– Improve Blood Lipid Profiles

– Improve Digestion

– Lower Inflammation

– Increase Nutrient Absorption

 

You get the picture.

 

I used to buy them at the corner fruit shop, and even though they would feel alright when given a squeeze, I’d say 30% of the time some or all of the inside was rotten. Pretty annoying given the price you have to pay in Shanghai for the damn things.

I was introduced to Yummy Avocados in the summer and became a customer immediately. Basically they import Avocados and sell them by the box load (which you can split with a friend depending on your ‘habit’). No more checking the corner shop every couple of days, I could now have a fridge full of avocados, and they were all perfect!

 

During intense training, of course my dietary needs go up, so I was stoked when Yummy said they’d hook me up with some extra cados during the training period.

 

If you’re an avocado hog like me, it’s worth checking them out.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Fights / fighters picked last week, and the first Week of ‘Real Training’ has begun.

 

The teams have been split up based on the matchups, so each team has 3 nights a week of scheduled training. The intensity has definitely stepped up, and the balance has begun to shift in favour of technique training instead of fitness.

 

That said, the biggest change is definitely in the mentality and overall atmosphere of the participants. Now that the date is set, and the fights are made, everyone is focused on getting as prepared as possible.

 

 

This is the time where it begins to sink in that you’ll be front and center, under the lights, in front of 1,500 people, with someone coming to take your head off. Naturally, there is a mix of emotions that result.

 

Nervousness, tension, worry, conflicted inner dialogue…it’s all there, as expected.

 

It’s not all bad though. If you can get a handle on these thoughts and feelings, they can be powerful motivators, and sources of additional focus.

 

I’m more interested, even amused by these thoughts and feelings than concerned. It’s interesting that this is how we respond to pushing ourselves outside our comfort zones, and placing expectations on ourselves that are beyond what we have done before. What’s going on here? Are we conflicted? Does part of us want the satisfaction of accomplishment while the other part simultaneously desires to avoid failure?

 

Probably. But that’s the beauty of challenging yourself — the balance of risk and reward.

 

Anyways, I’m sure there is much more of this to come as we continue to ramp up the fight-specific training leading up to the fight, and I’m looking forward to it.

 

Let’s go baby! Bring it!

So I’ve mentioned floating a few times throughout this series, and have been talking more about it with people over the last year or so. I’ve been floating off and on for over three years now, and I find it one of the best ways to recover from intense exercise, relieve chronic muscle/joint pain, de-stress, and in a crazy city like Shanghai, enjoy some ‘total solitude’.

 

For those who aren’t familiar, floating is also referred to as ‘sensory deprivation’, and as the name implies, the idea is to restrict as much as possible the stimuli that are normally picked up by our senses.

To do this, 1000lbs of Epsom Salts are dissolved in water, so you float on the surface, removing the vast majority of gravity’s effect on your body. You are in an enclosed tank, that is pitch black, and totally silent (many offer earplugs to make sure it’s totally quiet). The water is kept at the same temperature as your skin, so you are neither hot nor cold, and if this is done right, eventually you begin to loose sensation of where your body ends and the water begins.

I don’t have enough space here to get in to all the research that has been done on floating, but to sum it up, the results are verified legit. Even if you don’t have any major issues, it’s a fantastic way to relax, enhance a meditation practice, do some creative thinking or problem solving, improve sleep, jet lag and much more.

It’s definitely something that you get more out of the more familiar you are with the experience, so I would recommend trying it a few times before you judge whether or not it’s for you.

Floatasian is offering anyone who uses the ‘buildingabrawler’ coupon code 20% off on their first float, so if you’ve been meaning to try it, or it sounds interesting, this is a great time to check it out!

Thanks for the support Floatasian!

And we’re in!

 

Tonight (Friday Oct 28th) was fight selection night. Myself and another one of the participants in my weight class (87kg) were the second group to spar. We did one round, both got some good shots in, and when we finished they told us on the spot that we were in!

 

Following that the other fighters were paired up and fought as the rest of the class looked on. At the end, the rest of the fights/fighters were announced, and we were separated into groups (Team Blue baby!) and given our coaches and training schedules.

 

Now the real training begins!

 

Outside of that, it was a good week all around. I had a few days off after a long stretch working, which was nice.

 

My shins are the main thing that continue to bother me. Running / skipping seems to aggravate shin splints that I’ve had for a long time. That said, they seem to be getting a bit better / adapting to the training lately, and i’ve been icing them post-training which helps.

 

 

I also had a float session on Sunday night after another tough workout with the FitFam (Jiatong Uni Session). I had some soreness, but felt great afterwards, with lots of blood flowing, and even did some shadow boxing on my own afterwards, to try and continue building those ’neural networks’. A couple hours later I went for a float session at Floatasian, and it. was. awesome. I always try to get some form of exercise in before floating, but this was the most intense pre-float workout I had ever done.

 

One of the cool results of floating is that your body’s circulation is enhanced, as muscles relax and blood vessels all over your body dilate. Already having a solid ‘pump’ on, shortly after I got situated in the tank, I could feel my whole body pulsating, quite strongly. I could feel the tension going away and the blood (and seemingly ‘energy’) flowing unobstructed up and down the entire length of my body. The sensation felt incredibly rejuvenating, and was very meditative, I basically just ‘plugged in’ for an hour, with very few thoughts, and just hung out in the ‘energy’ of that state. Needless to say I loved it.

Anyways lots to work on before Dec 3rd, but I’m looking forward to it!

 

(Be sure to check out this weeks audio episode. I had my friend Matty, who is also doing the boxing training, join me to discuss his journey and how the experience has been for him so far.)

 

 

Sponsor in Focus:

 

I’m sure many of you have heard of Farmhouse Juice. It’s another well-known health and wellness brand in Shanghai and I’m super happy to be receiving their support during this training.

 

I’ve been drinking vegetable juice on and off for a number of years now, but it’s mostly been ‘off’. The reason is, to do it yourself, you need to buy the fresh vegetables (a lot!), clean and prep them, juice them (cold-press juicers are pricey), clean up the mess, clean the juicer..you get the picture. So most of the time it’s more 麻烦 than I’m willing to bare.

 

That’s why it’s so awesome that people living in Shanghai have an option like Farmhouse, they do all those steps for you, and deliver it right to your door!

In my opinion, cold-press veggie juice isn’t just for the ‘health nuts’, in fact, I recommend it as a great way for someone who has a ‘less than ideal’ diet to make sure they are at least getting a concentrated daily does of important vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes and more, to make up for ‘shortfalls’ in other areas.

 

For less than the price of a beer at a bar, it seems like a no-brainer to get all that nutrient-dense awesomeness.

 

Anyways, if you’re interested in working some into your routine, I highly recommend Farmhouse. The product and service has been awesome,

Sparring has started!

 

In this episode, I discuss my first experience sparring, immediately after getting home from the session.

 

The sparring was more intense than I expected, and I took a few good shots to the face and gut, but came out more or less unscathed (though I had a bit of a headache afterwards, and my nose is still a little tender).

 

Here, I talk a bit about the fear and the anxiousness associated with getting hit, and speculate on some ways that I may be able to improve before the next time.

 

Fighters / fights are being chosen this week! The plan (I hear) is to spar all the people in our respective weight classes on Friday, and then the fights will be picked that night!

 

Check out the episode for some more real talk:)

 

Thanks to my awesome sponsors!

The holidays are over and it’s back to the regular training schedule! I’m feeling recovered and strong! This week there was a lot more contact drilling, and it was nice to start getting hit a bit. Gonna have to get used to it sooner or later, so might as well get started!

In this episode I cover the progress over the last week as usual, and the areas I’ve identified for improvement. I’m still working on optimizing recovery time, specifically by hacking my sleep to deal with the workouts later in the evening.

I also speak about getting hit more, and the kind of shift in mentality I feel is required to continue learning without getting demotivated by getting hit/beat. This week I thought a lot more about the unintended positive consequences of committing to this challenge, and though I knew there would be several, I think even I may have underestimated this component, which is awesome.

Finally, I talk a little about the strong feeling of gratitude I experienced this week. Right as I got in bed and was about to sleep, I just felt so lucky to be able to participate in a challenge like this, to have the health (and the time) to do so, that such an event/challenge existed, that so many other positive people are involved, all the positive interactions I’ve had with them, and much more. Too much to write here, so check out the episode!
