Self-Defense Must Be Intimate
Whatever tool you use: you’ve got to be close enough to use it…one of the easy errors of self-defense training is being too far away…and training too far away. And when we train Taiji, or any martial art, too far away, we can create neurotic self-defense.
Radical Self-Defense is Casual
I use Taiji for daily reminding: get out of your own way and you’ll realize that you already have self-defense. No training necessary. You’re already ready.
What Does a Great Instructor Look Like?
Because I have martial arts and Taiji students lurking on the edge of instructor-hood… once immersed in Taiji, who grew fast and sunk deep.
What Are You Self-Defending?
Our ability to defend our personal tenderness is already built into us. In this modern world it will still help me to study martial arts, but it’ll help me more to study ways to unleash my inherent skills…to get out of my own way…and to have some fun while I’m at it.
