Thanks for sharing! I found you from your primal alchemy podcast. amazing stuff. I play with my 5 year old son like that in the morning and he is so much more active and present when we do that. I make so much sense.
My main background in martial arts is actually, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jujitsu. I have taken a few systema classes and I did about 9 months of training under one of Scott Sonnons Flowfighting coaches, Dan Chomychia flowfighting is form the same russian martial arts lineage as Systema. Interestingly I have felt some convergent evolution in aspects of my approach with systema derived from applying concepts i learned in other places into my martial arts practice. So the students who come to me from systema often find some commonalities.
Rafe Kelley same here lol. I did a couple of seminars with Martin wheeler, Kevin secours, Michael Grudev. Definitely made me move different in my muay thai and jitsu. My old coach Greg Mihovich has a cool movement practice called c.a.t.
Thats great the idea is to that childrens natural play patterns are among our most developmental tools for self cultivation, when we undertand them and cultivate them into an art the can help us develop many things we deeply need in our culture today.
Great stuff - I keep coming back to your ideas. I really appreciate your evolution and research.
Thanks Dennis, thats wonderful to hear, I hope to see you again soon.
