I
Don't know about you, but something just doesn't feel quite, right?
Sometimes I look at the world and wonder why am I really here?
I get anxious. I feel lost and confused
I have more friends than ever but I don't really feel connected I
Have all this information
But I can't find the truth you
The more I see pleasure the less I find happiness
I don't remember the last time I played
I don't remember the last time I was scared
I don't remember the last time I felt human
Maybe the answer is right in the mirror
Maybe it is something that I took for granted my whole life
Maybe the answer is inside my own body
The only thing that connects me with who I really am
If I can understand that maybe I can understand myself
So I'm travelling to the oldest place in the world to learn the oldest lesson known to man
From the only person who can teach me
So who is ito portal and what does he teach?
Well, where do I begin?
in 2014 a man walked into my studio
Carrying all of his possessions on his back
He wasn't Nomads
Relentlessly touring the world City by city teaching his message one person at a time
What I thought would be just another interview instead it changed everything
Because I began to think of my body in a completely new way
You see dido is a man obsessed with human movement who has spent his entire life in the pursuit of this knowledge
his subject
Movements his Mantra move
Move more move better move with more freedom move with more understanding move move move
His teachings would attract a new tribe of practitioners with their own unique ideas values and character
Eda would call this movement culture
Then in 2015 everything would change when he began training the UFC fighter conor McGregor
Suddenly both ito and his culture were elevated to a global stage
Where the world would learn of lizard walks and spinal waves from one of the most well known fighters on the planet?
This was incredible for me to watch in real time. It was like some kind of a strange YouTube dream
Month later car would be crowned at UFC champion with Ido portal right by his side
But for me, Eda was always the same person just a man obsessed with finding the Master key of human movements
And yet the more I understood of what either taught the more I became confused
With more answers came more questions
And I soon found myself lost again in this concept that was so simple, but so calm
So when itoh invited me to israel, I jumped at the chance
As a kid from the beaches of California the middle East had always fascinated
a place with so many cultures and countries and languages and traditions
Or people created religion and search of salvation
Looking for answers outside of Their own body
Like many of you. I had watched the news I
had seen the violence I
Had heard the politician speak
But I wanted to see what it was really like for myself
you
So here. I am in the land of the soul to learn about my body
Try your best to keep going keep going keep going don't stop never stop never stop
There is no reason to read let's keep going deeper. You're frustrated keep going oh, I'm shit keep going
I want to kill myself keep going keep going keep going to work. Just turn it gets used to the freshmen
I'm making a crest here, and you know it's like the first graph that you make in primary school
You brought your mother some
obsessive in well
I love what I do. This is a lot a
Beautiful three ages of creative like afterwards your dead project in the garbage because it hated it some
Some leftover. So here. We are first. We're just getting used to that
City I am not yet. Good at it
The sochi the beginner minds them then we go into the beginner mode and I try to sustain the ball
on the wall
For as long as possible
by placing myself in front of these
tightening my feet and
Moving my body if I miss it I miss it. I think it's a cup I go back into it. Let's do it
there is
Are you okay? Okay? You think about it? Maybe this is a little bit playground. That's what it is
It is playground for a goal, and there is no, bigger reason for community together around
play
I
Remember the first thing ito ever told me it's not about what you want to learn
It's about what the teacher want to teach you and people hate hearing it
if you find the real teacher and if if you find a real process, it doesn't matter what he teaches but
What it teaches what she teaches?
And it just matters that you found that thing so if I found a real violin teacher. I'll study violin
Mastery of everything is the mastery of mastering the matter of yourself?
here was born in Haifa Israel a beach town near the border with Lebanon as a
Young man, he was always obsessed with the physical and at 15 years old he fell in love with Kappa Web
the seductive afro-Brazilian martial art and dance that introduced him to movements music and rhythm
For the next 16 Years, Eda would Master the arts
But this dance was not enough and ito longed for more
So we traveled the world in search of a true movement teacher learning from anyone in any discipline along the way
athletes Yogi's Dancers gymnast Circus Performers and fighters
studied attrition health
anatomy Physiology
mental training and more
unable to find a Movement teacher he returned with one conclusion I
Didn't make the next mistake of being an acrobat being I don't know a dancer I
Realized I love movement on all of its shape utilitarian movement artistic movement breathing
Any any form of Mind-body connection?
Boom one to balance fill it place
Balance feel it down. Don't drop down everybody sees that your shitty
If you spent days on the rail you would become the cat
But which we stop challenging ourselves like this, and we start to feel city hence we don't like it
I challenge you to not like it when you're good
Let's face it. I am not a mover
In Middle school. I won the science fair at University. I got the engineering degree
Now I'm surrounded by proper athletes all them 20 years younger than me
And what's with the tennis balls and handrails? What are we going to get to the good stuff?
if it flops
And I give you a traumatic experience. You're not going to go back into it and
Then we encapsulate the fear and inside the capsule it grows until it takes over your life
We're touching it in the right moment is okay. Here is the control terrific
Yeah, you can probably somehow if you're a real idiot catch your foot inside of you follow the other side and crack your head open
and
Making serious mistakes, but without it. What comes to what will happen? Yeah like I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. Okay
I need this I step on it. I need here for the world. Whoa whoa whoa where am I okay? I'm stepping here
I need oil I've fallen down. Oh, if I come down here. It's nothing, but it looks much different when you're up there
Yeah, try again
and
Breathing now in a small smile as well. Yeah this smile relaxes you it's connected with the mindset
yeah, just a small stretch of the lips a
fake smile
Faking it until we are making it
small smile and breath
Release the leg standing on two legs is the hardest thing yet now. You can use it for balance the right leg
It's a huge part of your balance and now you place it when you're ready
breathe
the fear comes in wants to make contraction
You manage it
Don't eliminate it. You'll never eliminate it, but you play with it. You dance with the fear
Don't overuse me you did it now. You did it you took that step
nice
nice
nice
stop
Go back one step
You're good. Okay. We're gonna send put the right foot squat down slowly. Oh
Squat down slowly again, you're good. Push. It back release it good slowly come down into the foot
Yeah, your process now. You broke it, but you this is your project
mounting walking alone
This mounting coming down, and if maybe not today, but before you live captured, okay?
And then next time you try it it's a completely different beast
But you have to step away from it to feel the difference now you you broke it. You broke the fear
This is what that parkour kids called breaking the jump
It's actually breaking the fear of the jump or breaking the fear of the element all of a sudden. It was possible
Did you feel it? Yeah? What was impossible before?
What was paralyzing all of a sudden, but I I dared I know oh
It's not - it's not so difficult and it it happened
Yeah, but I had to trust that process and make the leap when my brain was saying don't do it
Yeah, and I as a teacher
That's the interesting part I can hold your hand to the edge of that cliff cliff
but when it's time to jump to the other side I
Cannot occupy your hand. I asked you you can only do it yourself
I can teach you a jab and a cross and do all the drills, but eventually you're all alone the ring is the lone
Yes, play
Now it's the same here. I can give all the tools and instructions, but you have to deal with that emotional
Hormonal dump depth Focus, that's feared
So it's a beautiful moment of self-discovery and evolution. You've just made a huge
change in your
Neurological makeup, you've rewired yourself around the sphere
Around the possibilities you're not the same person as you were this is beautiful. We need more of this in our lives
It's uncomfortable
But this creates huge changes
It's a narrow discomfort and Fear is an arrow. It's here. It's
This is where the gold is x marks the spot
It's here, but we go with the pleasure that's not where the arrow points and that eventually is not pleasurable anymore
And it kind of can destroy our lives, but where a fear resides. This is where real growth is and
Discomfort and pain is part of it. Thank you
Good guys
My name is Athelia. I practice movement for a living I
came across he does work in Coppola and
I directly recognize there's something different about the approach about the quality of the work I
had to to learn from this person, so I just started to train with him and
Then we shifted into other
World I
Had a car accident
Around 10 years ago. I was just driving the car on my way to to haifa to meet a ido and the guide and
someone ran into the car behind me
And I nearly died I broke
Four vertebra in the lower back at one two and four
I was lying in the hospital bed, and I was thinking I wonder where will I be in five years from now
Will I be able to walk will be able to do this and then after a few weeks?
I I this questions still I remember the days. I was lying in thinking about because I couldn't walk I couldn't move and
I
Realized that doesn't matter try to live every day like I know it's a bit cheesy, but it is mellow
But it really is pretty good
I
Have a 10 month old boy
And I think I told you he's crawling now, and he's about to walk and and you said to me. He said Brian
He's closer to the source than you are yeah
Yeah, if first his operating tools that are superior to yours in
many ways tools of intuition
tools of Connection without yet terminology and language
Taming the process fears are not categorized yet as feared
How does this work both like as a child like right like you need to learn how?
You learn how to walk you figured it out. You know who taught you how to walk not your parents
Nobody teaches his child how to walk
That's not true. That's not honest you
Learned how to walk it can only be learn and figure it out, and that's the beauty of
the struggle yeah
The sisyphus approach the struggle pushing that rock up the mountain is enough to fill our hearts
that's the nature of
being alive
evolving increasing awareness
Enjoying this reality that nobody fucking knows what it is
So I think it's good thing that we have to struggle on once we eliminate the struggle
Great emptiness heat and it happens on a on a micro-level for us all the time
reaching goals
It's a very emptying moment which brings us to another very important thing
Success is not a good orientation. It's it's it's a filthy word. It's a nauseating word. I hear it a lot
Yes, how did you become successful? How how to succeed that's a wrong orientation?
The orientation should be to learn something about this body this mind the nature of our awareness through those tools
But it does not mean you don't do them very intensely that I practice
like a Madman
but with complete detachment of the result in the end of the day, it's about being a craftsmen and
not being
the success story
Sit down and do your fucking work?
You still do hanging work in everything
I do it in the gym now, and I just think about you all the time you know oh
Good good
I'm in there to hang a little bit and
how
How often do you prescribe the hanging daily daily and then for what kind of a time interval five?
Seven minutes a day total time but they build it up in small sections. Maybe 30 seconds. Maybe 20 seconds. Maybe a minute
And it's kind of like a cat stretch for us, but we're not moving on all fours, so
We rarely kind of the modern Lifestyle where you compress the body, and we're really extended and this is kind of
Very nice extension it runs through you you let gravity do the alignment for you, and what better
What better modality to use than gravity we're living with gravity we have a constant relationship with it although many
don't realize it and then the other thing the compression is the squat which we've talked about before and just
Compressing the lower body and just yet just down here spending taxed
And this is what I would recommend for everyone these two basic things you have to really think what kind of legs
Do you want to be I don't want three trunk legs. I want Bamboo legs a wine wine wine wine
Flexible strong if the wind comes if it bends it, but it doesn't break and it can bounce me out. It's elastic
I do this now in a suit when I'm waiting for my breakfast in London and people walk by and they just don't understand
I also hang in the in the subway. I'm the thing and it freaks the English people out
I'm sure I do think Germany and I get some weird looks
I think many people are
they're much stuck in their own world in their own lack of Movement and
What we're trying to bring is movement to the public and to make people join us?
To derail outside and the people like see what do we do to bring?
Movement in life and everything that we do out there like as many people as possible
not to become couch potatoes and
Like eat, I would say a homer simple
Send it up end it up
We start with millions of the final?
starting with the world
She will stand very close to the wall facing the wall actually
and
Come come before the sides come closer
she will touch the wall with the nose and
then she will touch the wall with the chin and then with the chest and
with the chest to the ribs
with the ribs into the abdomen abdomen
into the pelvis by the time she touch the pelvis the nose is the farthest back and
Now she initiates again nose
chin
chest Ribs
Abdomen pelvis nose again and
That is very very slowly lightly
And little by little it will start to form a wave and she comes close to the world
But she does not touch it anymore and she starts to wave her spine
Wave her spine
We were going this five minutes straight non-stop everyone across the wallet
This is about fine motor control
terminology Movement terminology the control of the body they articulation the
separation for the safe of integration later on for the sake of Improvisation later on
Who why was the Yoga teacher I would say one way?
Is whole world or something like this?
But it was one way, it's the same way and you can use it in multitude of ways the Baleno
And you don't have mastery of that way unless you can actually use it in a variety of ways
the archaeological way here
Where do we come from?
And where you should not yeah from there the life start there
So evolutionary our spine is coming from there. We still have that fluidity
We have it. It's a reason you have it. That's it, but people don't respect
The fact that they receive something never less. I use it. I have a spine
I use it most people don't respect it. So when do they respect it
They hit the wall you fuck up your spine by sitting by not moving by not related by the sign
It's fucked up now. You want it back
Life does this to you life as to do I have something in my eyes
You're not going to get it too late
yeah, and the biggest depression can be resolved with them a
near-Death experience
So now it killed all the it's the project
You know a small accident like a car accident
an
Appreciation of your spinal Delia broke her back like okay. I will have that back. I thought I didn't need it now. I need
Because I'm interested in the ability
In the content inside the container in the liquid inside the cup and not in the cup
The tennis boxing game is the container
What is the content?
Rhythmic allottee
footwork sense of distance
accuracy
That's my man
It's not easy to touch that book okay? Yeah
Edo was teaching us to deal with unexpected situations
The randomness of the ball and the unpredictability of our fifth forced the brain and body to move and react in new ways
Ito once told me I don't plan I react
He was teaching us to Embrace Chaos
to be anti Fragile
to grow stronger with randomly
The problem is the more you play this game the less
It does the magic and at the same time the more you played again the better. You become at it these move in inverse correlation
Because the more you get good at it
The more you like to do it, but the less it is for you because now it becomes a specialized tool
Wow, I can do this game really well because I trained it good so it's a beautiful game. It's also playful. It's also enjoyable and
And brings us back into a little bit this juvenile approach of learning through play
Through craftsmanship and the child you don't go into the competitive Mindset right away
You're more in a playful mind. Let's play
You don't think this of all these better than me when you're 2 years of age
You just play you're not orienting yourself toward success, and when you fail, you're done. You're over you're not orienting yourself
Toward things that are temporary but
You're interested towards something bigger
craftsmanship self Mastery
self-Discovery
Evolution my movements are beautiful today
But maybe tomorrow my movements are not beautiful anymore
But I'm not basing myself in views it's not about just moving beautiful looking beautiful there
And I did the eyebrows for the shoot I
Don't date myself in depth
Because that is going to get over your teeths are going to get down here
The ball Sack is decreasing one millimetre every year of a male's life
Yes, when I walk with it on the floor you you're dragging it behind, so we are here declining
We are we are destroyed the body cracks. We get injured we age we age now not tomorrow
We age we are born into the grave so let's base ourselves on something else do the play?
Let's discover
even if the dead-end street is game is
already a beautiful way to pass an afternoon and
Make sure you are
feeding
yourself not food, but
movement tests that are essential for us
And that's not respected the adults Luca didn't like
Very displays just being a kid yeah, it being human more human than should all of them where that play man
We must play it our way of being is our way of developing surviving everything
Animals play and they proceed mankind so play is bigger than humanity
Not like you become also playing you grew all because you stopped
I
Think that the real disabled people are the people that don't move?
And it's like if you see around usually in big towns and everywhere in the world Europe in the space in Israel everywhere
You see most of the people it'll move
the walk
We sit in a car they eat stuff
We'll start usually they look at TV. I mean Debris
Steve found it. They don't move don't try to to challenge their body and so they don't try to challenge their mind either
I mean, it's all together. You know
I
Was injured in there by train accident in France it was the 32 years ago
I met a lot of people at first people that didn't do what I can do
I found myself in front of people that have so big problems. You know and I said like okay?
I don't have any problem, okay?
I'm sitting in a wheelchair because I have no leg the teacher for me well can be on the floor I can try I can
Do everything I'm like a monkey you know and then I are the feeling that I have to move for those who can see
the guy who kept moving is how I am moving for him my arm because I think it's like a
House oh, great privilege. I have you I have to use
And I don't think everybody has to deal with pause at a high level. I think everybody has to move
Meaning you have beliefs
and you have stairs biggest fear you have I don't know what you have a car and a bike take the bike a
electric bike you know lover by the very tiring one and
You can run you can jump you can dance just do it
Okay, I'm given this body
That's enough reason for me to respect that tremendously
I'm not going to be grading this body, but not going to destroy the time
But because I was given this it's enough reason for me to
Go full-on with it
To learn about it to operate it and to work with it and put flow rate and to understand it
But the hard work to remind yourself that and to continue to explore
But if I take your leg you immediately know I need way like that
the body is us like and
We kind of know it
but we also fall in call this the cart ian friends leading up here and
by the time we are realizing it too late and
we lived in a
suboptimal way
And maybe it doesn't matter like I said maybe ultimately again with the same end result Aim and resolve
but somehow
Again like I said it makes sense right now
To go fool all with what I received. I have this breast
So I use it to communicate with the most passion the idea to you
Not just wasting it away. I have this leg, okay. What can I do with it like I have this fine
What can I do with it?
I have this brain what can I do with it and the good reason to go for it?
And it's fulfilled you back because of that night
I think it gives you so much because of x if the heat, it's the right thing
Clearly this issue. Oh
That's enough of the reason
They're respected why do you think it's there?
Who is this gentleman over here who seems to be enjoying himself?
that's inspired by a
Bengali on the very legendary prime minister of Israel who
The story tells it was a student of the Moshe, Feldenkrais who created the Feldenkrais method
There is a very famous photo of him practicing Headstand. I think there was a lot of movement
happening here back when I was in each in my dirty stance not even
Why my mover is like that in Israel? Is it? It's the climate with it
New ideas new ways of thinking new people major part of it is survive surviving the horrors of Europe
and 80 years ago and
Major part of it is the climate that is a supportive of more movement definitely colder countries less movement
constant threats Terror Wars
And then also people's bodies which come from different climates and arrived here with a certain gene pool
And they have problems health issues and joints and pains and aches and all this is
Contributing something so it's a country of immigrants, and it's it's a crucible of
cultures
On my flight over here
They gave me a pillow and they gave me a blanket, and it was just about the right temperature
I had water a little bit of food. I was extremely comfortable and
I'm curious
What you think about?
Killing people with comfort and are we are we a little bit too protected now as humans
the common issue the common problem we've taken the road of a
satisfaction
protection
safety and
pleasure comfort to a ridiculous level we are oversensitive and over alarmed by certain things and
that fear creates its own problem and
Pains and issues around it sometimes more than the actual condition
Fear is an extremely powerful thing in our lives. It's one of the most
primal
Basic inputs and that we use
But it took over our lives because we come from environment
With many dangers and risks and it was a very potent protective tool
But now it became a hindrance
and
I
Think happiness is not a good orientation
But fearlessness is a much more powerful thing
You will you will never be fearless, but the orientation?
Might be good for us nowadays
less fear and
more
yeah more awareness of
How do I perceive things?
Everything we are creating this environment by how we see it and the narrative that we make of it
But the narrative is the story the story that you tell yourself
the Brine Brine is the story if
you if you
Take it down into the most tiny bits Brian
doesn't exist
It's a collection of stories
Hence what really happened to you?
Is not as powerful as what you tell yourself happened to you
Old-school
Psychotherapy freudian was dealing a lot with that what really have what happened there, let's dig into it
It's not as powerful as the stories that you tell yourself
We are the some of the stories we tell ourselves. What story had I been telling myself
For 40 years I've pursued money and success
my twisted version of the American dream
It brought me emptiness
So I created a new story london real
It was scary, but worth it
Now I am the student always learning always
beginning I
Was starting to see edo as much more than a teacher of movement?
Instead he was using his tools to connect us to what we really are
our pure essence our original nature
Helping us to understand ourselves in order to understand everything else
To Abandon what we're good at and embrace. What we suck that
Ocean what the Japanese call the Beginner's mind
doing this
It was considered the weirdo now
It's a whole culture doing it and I'm so happy to hear people come in language of all you know on the world like
Why because now it?
It's a fashionable way of training. Oh being of movie, and you've done the same with long memories
All the sudden it's like here to record some conversations and Publish them by yourself if it's cool
It's opportunity so we took the system to break the system and abusing
What's there if what they really want which was told to them that they shouldn't be doing the things which is play and real
conversation
I'm not a serious
Trainer you're not a serious journalist
journalists would make fun of you and
Trainers and and
Phd Physiology experts make fun of him, but
It's too powerful. You can't ignore it anymore, and it goes
Yeah, they have to respect it eventually
Then you would need to catch the stick as close as possible to the floor
Using your leg to launch to move to play you
When I go to minute one opportunities the other by that time you should warm up your leg really
I
can you
walk in and I can use robot game of all kinds and
I warm up my legs in a real way. It's not like
You're preparing this way
and
Then you go to a judo match and you you're in a perfect
Life looks weird
Cause the tennis game on YouTube. What do you see?
so this is a much more real way to prepare the legs because if you do prepare the legs in this
Perfect position you can't move for shit these are the worst neighbors on the planet
stiffness people
they are the people who invest the most amount of time into their physical practice and move the poorest of
Course the couch potatoes are worse, but for the amount of time invested in movement
They're the worst
Very important nowadays is to empty the arms the arms are too full your arms are locked
People are moving around the same thing with despite their calcified arms
and then they have to team to try to get this and we need to empty the arms as a little bit of
Movement just to remind yourself
Notice how I bent my knees
To catch the motion a bit, and I feel a rush of blood in my head rush of blood
rush of Blood
rush of Blood
when I go be real with corner
He says I feel like a no rambutan
If finishes I'm ready if I feel like a no rambutan and that worry all all this
Originated from yeah, the Vinnie Mac my moonwalk
Was more cocky, but she added this a farm
so
Getting a little bit longer. I hope you feel this now you're already too long
Where are you as well, generally remember what I said these are transmission cords, but what am I doing now? I'm
Trying to make this the engine not the transmission
strong arms mean shit
Because the power is not here
Show you the real power now. Yes capture it
Observe, this is the real power. How you unclog the hole
This is nothing. This is not here. It's not here. It's here
Turn around
You could be this is the sign of power look at how the Lava Kusa a thickness of the low back
It's a lot more in the extremity at the end of the chain and the end of the chain
It's here
That's why we obsessiveness
Yeah, then this
Is that engine is that that makes the power, but we became focused on?
Am I've always been fascinated by movement and bringing ito in this week was phenomenal
It we centered the mind it changed training
It was movement
Based there was no contact to be able to go into certain positions and balance on one hand or in in
Unusual positions to be able to do that
You don't just have control over your body you have control over your mind, so it's always been something. That's fascinated me
What do most people do when they are the very best in the world at something?
they keep doing it and
Why wouldn't they bring some fame money and success?
But what if success is the wrong orientation?
What if being fearless is a better approach?
Well, it seems with this tournament Gregor is about to find out
Considered the very best mixed martial artists in the world you've decided to enter a completely new Arena
boxing
What is kick?
Is elbows is chokes is 20 years of martial arts training?
cannot be used a
Sport where he has zero professional experience
This takes the Beginner's mind for the next level
But there's more
His opponent is a man considered to be one of the greatest boxers a bad time
Floyd Mayweather
There's a flawless forty nine and no record
So how can conor win?
You must use something known orthodox use something unexpected use something counterintuitive
Use Ido portal
There are more rules which means if you could introduce some new movement principles that Floyd's never seen
It could really be that that Master key or mega principle
You're talking about we meet through different animals kind of like a an octopus and a lion that
There are a few ways to approach it for Corners
And I'm not sure where it's going to go one of the ways is to box with the boxer
And that's that of course is a very difficult thing to do another thing is there is not a box with a boxer
It to find loopholes
inside
possibilities scenarios, which are still allowed within the boxing relay and above that as well just
confident and fighting spirit and heart and
Is a huge factor here as well
of course and
both for Vesta
You might say it's impossible
But that's the point
go to where the fear is and
All the world will be watching
Because deep down inside
Every single one of us knows this is what life is truly about?
It's the essence of being human
Conner has already won
Or the biggest thing you learned about yourself with all of that focus and criticism
And you're you know you're on a different level now and working with people like honor. Yeah. I learned that. I'm not about
The I'm not about being loved by everyone
Which I once I believe like I'm a good force. I want to do good. I'm a hard worker. I'm I?
Built myself really with that those skills that they worked so hard
Like why why why shouldn't it be?
Accepted well by everyone or already and I learned that no, that's not what I'm about the bigger
Star that you work with the bigger the tale that is told about you right? Yeah
Because you said to me you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen right you get the Ayah I?
Send it to myself at a certain point because I realize like oh shit
What did I get into and then I reminded myself like okay?
Do you want to do it or don't you want to can you spend the heat or not?
take the Criticism work with hatred with the haters you know like
That's the next level
Okay, what is the what it does to the ego? How you operate with that you should really?
Not a criticism from it
From general public from comments or talk back from from critics that never met you don't know nothing about it
that they just they're not providing criticism from a an
Expert point of view their egos are screaming their own Jealousy their own insecurities
Or their just lack of understanding in the subject matter
But if you never met me you never did any you never took a class with me
how do you want to criticize what I'm doing what you want to talk about Movement it took me 20 plus years to
Begin to understand this I don't understand
So what are you? What do you understand?
You didn't spend a moment trying to understand you do watch some clips you watched an interview
What did you do?
You saw handstand or a crawl and then a moment after playing with the ball
And then a dance routine and then a fight exercise and again, what did you know about it?
So nothing about you channel do it
so all the team don't take the criticism, but
don't avoid Criticism altogether have the people in your life providing you that feedback for growth or
self-Development
You are doing it or some kind of love then. What did you conclude you do an important?
I'm doing it from my own self discovery being interested its discovering. It's growing and it's
It's passing time in that way because all we can do is just test time
That's all we were doing right like people ask me
why are you doing it to wait first time, so it's a buddhist right one third it for me a
Martial Arts teacher
I'm always trying to figure out
What it is that you do have what it is you're all about and the best example was yesterday
I went through israeli immigration, and they're like. Why are you here? I'm here to see ido portal one of your national treasures and
And you know and I said, what is he I said? He's a movement
He's not a specialist not an expert if I called him a guru he would be looking for me Mm
And yet when I pulled my phone out and showed him literally 15 seconds of you on YouTube moving
They got it
Not only did they get it they were excited and they wanted to know more about it
And they were pulling the other immigration officers in to look at your video
Why does this happen?
It's a like all paradigm shifts in a way, I think
It's so simple, it's so you know
there is the side of people who said like it was always there of course it was always there or living in a body of
Course people were always moving movement was always there. I don't have any new insights there is nothing new under the sun. It's just I
Spin the perspective
I I turn them to look at it from a different a different perspective, and then it just happened bruce
Lee said it very well and he repackage the philosophy that was known from Before I
AbSorb, what is useful?
Disregard what is useless and add. What is uniquely yours?
and tell me about
the subsequent development of
Movement culture as we know either portal Movement culture me
Yeah, it's just you
You can't do it alone. You have to move inside a culture. You need a culture to move in
Which is you're starting to?
You will start to feel it if you don't feel it already very soon
Just because you are already now practicing in a more open way
But you kind of have to find
Locations and friends to play with and teachers and but then imagine you have a culture too moving
Imagine you has a community in you meet regularly and it supports that and you do it together
We are social beings and Movement it cannot be separated
From the structure that occupies it and the cultural context around it so for me that was
Obvious
We need a try
you
All the pressures all the cameras or different all the egos all the reputation. Oh
Oh, oh, what's next? Oh and pressurized. I have never done this in front of blah blah blah. Oh the sun
Oh the floor the cracks in the floor all the repetition. Oh, I forgot what I want to do excellent. Thank you
She just started she can do it you ask yourself. Can you do it or what are you thinking? What are you doing?
You can do a perfect tense that we plan to walk with and you can do it. It's easier
But it shows you how addicted you are to the formal practice
Look at my best drink. I'm going to do it now. This is my best break. Are you ready with the camera?
You ready?
my best three and now I'm
When do you do that when now there is a crowd wait. They're not looking it never comes. There is not this moment
It's a delusion you never have your best performance in the right moment
So guess what start to perform every moment of your life. This is it. That's the performance now now
We're moving, but what happens this doesn't seem like the real thing
When is it is it tomorrow when our what are you waiting for - are you because you give 70% hence
I think for myself, so ah it's not his true capacity his potential is unfulfilled
Tomorrow it will happen no the next next year next year
And we'll be really good these are the people who never reach the mark
They're never good because they didn't take the opportunity to be good
inside the toilet
taking a crap in those moments
Every moment now perform do it with the maximal seriousness. I drop a ball and I try to catch it
I'm there. I'm not
Disrespecting the situation because that's it
That's the performance you don't have to wait until you're 70 80 90 to realize oh shitty
I missed the mark it was all performative moment, and it was a life not well lived I
Didn't go. I didn't go with it. I didn't use what I could anyways now it doesn't matter
You know this this moment there now. It doesn't matter
I don't want to say this I don't want to fall into this trap. So I give you a stage
Whether the camera is here Brine it here that Kodesh. How do you say?
the Fear of God in you
Yeah
We say in Hebrew
Do it with the fear of God?
So like the stick falls not because the camera is there because every damn with the same fucking thing
I don't want to drop the fucking stick you want to touch my shoulder. I want to say sure shoulder
I don't want you to touch my shoulder. So every Friday. I stop it. I go with it
I go with the emotional content I go with the breath I go with the vocalization you hear it
There is no camera, but I'm there with full intent and then someone else is playing
Now you must taken the playful approach
For a shitty approach, it's a shitty playful approach you can have a serious playful approach you can have a shitty playful approach
But being playful doesn't mean you don't do it full-on serious till you bleed
I've been thinking about you know last few days
Here, and you know I traveled all the way to Israel
to learn about
movement and learn about my body
But it feels like I've gotten a lesson in people. I was spending time with you and your community and
They've really
welcomed in like I was family and
It's it's been really blatantly obvious to me and I walked into your movement center and the energy in there
it's there's something about it, and there was a
Guy 2 meters tall 2 meter wide Wingspan one of the most incredible athletes I've ever seen before
Next to a 50 year old woman with no legs next to a 9 year old girl
next to a
Veteran who probably got shrapnel scars from you know jumping on a terrorist attacker
But yet. There's this kind of energy and love in there that it's hard to explain
I was wondering if you could explain to me is is this the movement culture you're talking about
and I think it's related to many different layers and
part of it is the movement practice part of it is the the teachers who are teaching in that center in the
Energy that they attract this community, this is something that will really left
through our lives because
The rest of it is a is more temporary. You know our bodies get destroyed. We are social creatures
it's not happening on A
alone on some mountain you're not
you're not going to become the person that you want to be you're not going to
Make it you're not going to develop the skill set you're not going to develop
yourself
You need people
A
Doe in the genius is a crazy person
the the an artist
is a thinker
the Philosopher
Is a good friend is the best teacher. I know is a practitioner
with no talented in many things is a hard worker and
I think this combination
Something very rare and special. I will still and like I never met someone like you like
You just weird like
Entity who's just special combination of things?
For a nomad, Eda has built a very big family
full of people who have connected with themselves and with each other I
Wonder how the world would look if everyone did this sounds like a place? I want to be
I've lived in London for over 17 years
but something feels different on my return I
See things in a new way I
see challenges I
see purpose I
See humanity I
See myself
You can call me crazy, but I know how we can save the world
We start by saving our own bodies
movement makes us human
It connects us to our higher self
Movement is life
You might say this is not for me, but you have a body right
You know what to do.
