Jeremy Lesniak:

Hey there, welcome to whistlekick Martial Arts Radio episode 247. My name is Jeremy Lesniak, I’m your host for this show. I’m the founder of whistlekick sparring gear and apparel and today were going to talk about the importance of not doing. That’s a confusing title, isn’t it? And I’m going to tell you what it means in a moment. You I received feedback from folks, often in fact, about how they feel this show helps them in their martial arts which is surprising because there’s nothing physical about it and that’s actually what we’re going to talk about today. Some of these nonphysical elements, these non-doings and why they’re so important.

What do I mean by that? Martial arts we tend to value the ability to do things, the quality of our techniques, the speed, the power, the accuracy, the ability to teach them to perform a pattern, a form to spar well. These are all actions these are all physical external actions. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t the internal component, there certainly is. But I’m not talking about not doing as in meditation. Meditation is important, we talked about meditation recently.
