you are you're basically a world champion in full contact martial arts what what kind of martial arts did you do and what maybe you can tell a little bit about about that

yeah actually that was very important for my whole career for my personality for my character building i started when i was 11 years old i started with wing chung wing chung is a kung fu style i very intensively started to practice kung fu, also Wing Chun and many other styles as well, like Bagua, Yiquan, Xing Yiquan, many others as well, but it doesn't matter.

So that was the most important education for me that I got, the most important training I went through, because I learned discipline, I learned to think in a very connected way, because you need to The way we practice Wing Chun, it was a lot about understanding tensions in your body.

How do you use your body to create more force behind a punch? It was a lot about self-awareness, feeling yourself better, your body better, understanding also your emotions better, your thought process.

And this is something a lot of people miss, and largely because they're unable to perceive it.

Uh, as I said, because of the, all the intensive work that I've done to heal my own wounding and digging myself out of a very deep hole, working through this backlog of emotion, healing that trauma, going through all the intensive meditation practice, uh, a lot of internal qigong practice, training with a, a master from China in these internal martial arts rooted in Daoism, Xing Yi Quan, Bagua Zhang, doing all the vision quest, developed this highly empathic capability to, to see and feel a lot of what's transpiring in people's bodies and minds.

So one of the things I see is that people possess vastly different levels of resources or lack thereof.

Hmm.
