Walking With The Tengu

Zhuangzi: Wuwei and Ziran For Our Times


Listen Later

In this episode we look at two parables from the work known as the Zhuangzi that relate to things martial artists care about.

Specifically the ideas of Wuwei (無為) non-action and Ziran (自然 - "Self-so") spontaneity.

However, these aren't just high-minded philosophical jibber-jab. These have direct, practical applications to our martial arts.

Take the training offline with a small book I put together pairing basic physical exercises with short quotes and meditations. You can find the book here: ⁠https://www.lulu.com/shop/matthew-krueger/pocket-training-volume-1/paperback/product-e7pqmyv.html
