Attention all runners! Are you a runner that is purely performance orientated? Do you obsess over your GPS and strava data? Are you guilty of becoming a slave to your running program? Well, this episode is tailor-made for you. Last week, I had the honor of engaging in an unforgettable conversation with Jozef Frucek, the brilliant mind behind Fighting Monkey. I must confess, this discussion stands among my all-time favorite podcast moments. Jozef's unique creative flair and his ability to seamlessly fuse the artistic side of sport captured my heart. Throughout our dialogue, we delved deep into the challenges posed by modern Western culture, where money, efficiency, speed, numbers, measurement, and science tend to overshadow other aspects. While these factors may appear explicit and apparent, we should never overlook the immeasurable treasure of tacit knowledge. Jozef possesses an astonishing talent for articulating the intangible, abstract elements of movement. He emphasizes the necessity of diversity, variability, intuition, improvisation, communication, embodiment, rhythm, coordination, and so much more. In a society fixated on data and disconnected from our innate knowledge, Jozef's insights are nothing short of invaluable. So, whether you're eager to challenge the conventional training methods or simply curious about exploring movement in a holistic manner, this episode demands your attention. Join us now as we embark on a journey to deeply understand the profound impact Jozef Frucek and Fighting Monkey can have on your personal movement practice. Prepare yourself by lacing up your running shoes, grabbing your headphones, and diving into this transformative experience!

This high-tempo, information-rich dialogue is of exactly the kind I like to have! Jozef's ideas about his relationship with nature - its landmarks and inhabitants - are worth imbibing. We covered a lot of ground and reached out for many berries of wisdom, including surviving in the wild, romanticizing nature, energetic economy, homeostasis, creativity, dialogue, motivation, monotony of movement, human relationships, and even more!

Nouvelle conversation avec une collègue professeur en mouvement, Agathe Philbé de Soma Club Paris, avec laquelle on parle de mouvement et de son importance dans la réhabilitation des blessures.En effet, Agathe à vécu un énorme accident qui l'a "brisé" physiquement et psychiquement et qui lui a permis d'explorer des aspects de la vie que peu d'entre nous expérimente.Des aspects bien sûr difficiles humainement mais qui amènent notre esprit dans des profondeurs qui réservent plusieurs gemmes de sagesse et perles de lumière.C'est au travers de son aventure émotionnelle et son exploration  physique qu'Agathe nous partage aujourd'hui sa vision du corps, du mouvement, de la santé et de la longévité.Elle nous parle du processus de réhabilitation parfois mal encadré qui pourrait bénéficier grandement d'une approche par le mouvement en intégrant le jeu, le travail au sol, la coordination et la rythmicité.Influencé grandement par les enseignements de la Movement Culture, de Marcello Palozzo et des Fighting Monkey de Jozef Frucek, Agathe nous aide à reprendre possession de notre corps,Élargir notre territoire de mouvement, pouvoir se créer un "Corps Caméléon", accepter ses cicatrices, danser avec ses blessures en écoutant et en adaptant sa pratique à son corps.Comment arrêter de se comparer aux autres ? Comment accepter la nouvelle réalité et ce nouveau corps que l'on a ? Comment retrouver du plaisir à bouger son corps ?Comment surmonter la dépression, la tristesse, le regret et plutôt voir l'accident comme une bénédiction ? Comment aborder l'idée de la mort et de la maladie ? Comment exprimer de nouveau de la gratitude ?Comment retrouver les petits bonheurs de la vie ? Comment se retrouver, reconnecter avec sa féminité, dialoguer avec son enfant intérieur ?Voilà le genre de questionnement auxquels Agathe a été confrontée et les enseignements qu'elle a pu tirer de plus de 6 ans d'aventure du Mouvement.Amoureuse de l'élément aquatique, passionné de rythme, de danse, de l'aspect cognitif de la pratique du mouvement et exploratrice dans l'âme, Agathe enseigne aujourd'hui ce qu'elle a pu expérimenter chez Soma Club Paris.On revient ensemble sur les différents outils qu'elle a utilisés et utilise encore pour la relaxation, le gain de conscience corporelle, le conditionnement physique et même la respiration.Un échange très inspirant et qui donnera matière à réfléchir quant à l'importance d'une pratique de mouvement généraliste dans l'idée de développer un corps réellement antifragile.Ravi d'avoir pu capturer un tel échange et j'espère qu'il pourra te servir à toi ou à tes proches qui vivent ce genre de choc intense dans la vie.Très bonne écoute mon mouver !Les notes, les liens, les ressources de cet épisode> https://nomadslim.com/podcast/27-05-2022-agathe-philbe/Connecter avec MOUVERSLes Formations en ligne : ACADÉMIELa Salle d'Entraînement Virtuelle : DOJOLe Réseau Social Privé : COMMUNAUTÉLe Podcast Vidéo sur YOUTUBEAbondance et Gratitude,Coach Nomad SlimMOUVERS, Vivre en Mouvementwww.nomadslim.comSupport the show

Jozef Frucek has been studying under the guidance of Master Ming Wong C.Y., also a doctor of Chinese Medicine, the internal principles of movement and their relation to health and aging. Jozef got his ArtD degree on Voice and Movement in 2002 under the supervision of Ludmila Machatsova, who is considered as one of the most influential communication trainers. Jozef Frucek and Linda Kapetanea are the founders of Fighting Monkey Practice. They are both professionally involved in art, athletics and movement research. Since 2002 Linda and Jozef have been developing the Fighting Monkey Practice through a deep study on cross motion analysis and with aim to understand the principles of the human movement, communication and the ageing process.

Embodying Spontaneity: A Conversation With Jozef Frucek of Fighting Monkey   In conversation, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Jozef Frucek. He and Linda Kapetanea are the creators of Fighting Monkey, which is a beautiful system that weaves together movement, learning, communication, creativity, improvisation and a re-imagination of the process and experience of aging.    Jozef has studied deeply in Chinese medicine and martial arts along with having advanced degrees in voice and movement. He and Linda teach at Universities and dance and performance companies around the world.    I had followed Fighting Monkey for many years in the natural movement world, and was able take some classes with Jozef when they began teaching online during the pandemic. I was reminded of a line from one of our Feldenkrais teachers, Ruthy Alon, who coined the term “the grammar of spontaneity.” I find that Fighting Monkey helps to grow a grammar of spontaneous, natural, dynamic movement that weaves together essential principles from many movement traditions.     In our conversation, Jozef and I speak about how growing our spontaneity and creativity in movement increases our sense of creativity and spontaneity in how we live, how we think, how we speak, and express ourselves. We also discuss how essential new ways of thinking and participating in the world are, given the immense challenges we face in these times. We speak of the importance of systems based practice when it comes to movement and to life. We discuss the importance of play in learning, and how many adults forget how to learn and play as we age. We also look at the aging process, and how the manner in which we approach our movement shapes how we approach our aging process.

Épisode 46 du podcast dans lequel j'ai le plaisir d'accueillir un collègue enseignant et passionné de mouvement : Sylvain Noury de Amplitude Movement Bordeaux pour 2 heures de conversation fascinante et inspirante sur cette pratique généraliste, holistique, et ce rapport plus intime à sa physicalité.Une occasion de plonger dans l'univers du mouvement, depuis la pratique à la philosophie qui l'entoure, comment reconnecter avec son corps, redévelopper la conscience corporelle, et petit à petit commencer son aventure vers une plus grande autonomie et liberté physique.Sylvain a commencé son aventure physique avec les arts martiaux traditionnels avant d'explorer les différents univers de la Calisthénie, de la force, de la locomotion et trouver inspirations chez des figures comme Ido Portal, Jozef Frucek ou encore Marcello Palozzo.Sylvain représente parfaitement l'idée de l'éternel étudiant, constamment à rechercher de nouvelles idées, manipuler et faire communiquer différents concepts ensemble, à remettre en question sa pratique et trouver sa propre voix.C'est cette mentalité du Shôshin qui le conduit à imaginer ses propres outils, les implémenter sur lui-même puis à les enseigner à ses élèves. L'idée est de ne jamais quitter le bac à sable, de continuellement chercher à s'améliorer, à jouer, à apprendre de nouvelles compétences, mais laisser faire les choses avec un désengagement total.Un échange autour de l'importance de la Praxis, de dédier du temps aux choses pour qu'on puisse en extraire toutes les gemmes. Sylvain a cette capacité à prendre de la hauteur sur ce qu'il fait, ses entraînements, ses lectures, ses enseignements... pour pouvoir être à la fois acteur et observateur. Il joue sérieusement mais ne se prend pas au sérieux.Il nous rappelle l'importance de remettre de la présence dans son rapport à soi et au monde, comment on aborde les situations du quotidien ou les questions existentielles.Père de famille, Sylvain nous raconte comment son fils est une source d'inspiration pour lui et met en lumière l'importance de pouvoir bouger son corps librement afin de profiter de ces moments de vie et de servir d'exemple pour inspirer.Une magnifique conversation pleine de connaissances techniques, de recommandation d'ouvrages, de perles de sagesse mais aussi une opportunité de changer de paradigme sur sa relation à cette expérience avant tout physique qu'on appelle la vie.Très bonne écoute les mouvers !Les notes, les liens, les resources de cet épisode> https://nomadslim.com/podcast/21-11-2021-sylvain-nouryConnecter avec la Nomadslim Movement AcademyAbonne-toi sur YouTube et FacebookRejoins le Groupe Facebook : Mouvers (Movement Culture

Soisci Porchetta on the Passive Hang ! (@soisci_human_patterns). Soisci is a movement teacher at @praksiscanberra, in a former life was a Muay Thai World Champion, and has studied closely with Ido Portal and Jozef Frucek.  I met Soisci last year when I went up to @praksiscanberra. I took several classes she led - movement practice, handstand, longevity, and even had the pleasure of training alongside her during the Capoeira workshop. One of the moments that stood out from that trip was having a meal together with other students on a Friday night, after class. It was great to see that in this community, people were choosing on a Friday evening, to practise and hang out with each other. Most gyms down here in Melbourne don't even have a Friday evening class, knowing that people prefer to go out to bars and restaurants.  Soisci leads a class with gentle authority, where all types of tasks and movements are instructed. Each class I left feeling aware and energised, which is exactly what her movement practice class theme was at the time - “Energising, Imaginative, Presence”. Taking an intuitive approach, she leads the room with a sense of love, care and empowerment. In this episode I get to ask her about how she thinks about teaching, and how her own teaching style has developed.  There's a strong sense of “human first” approach - understanding that as students, the emotional and social contexts need to be considered, not just our biomechanical, physical capabilities.  Soisci also shares her concept of “Lazy Man Training” and origins of her nickname, Puma.  A great conversation. Thank you to @soisci_human_patterns for sharing her time with us! https://www.humanpatterns.net

It’s been a year since the Passive Hang launched it’s first episode. The first episode was a solo episode, and episode 49 is an update from the host. Sharing reflections of my movement journey, and of the Passive Hang.    It’s a special time for me at the moment - I have just finished with my teacher, @tejovra.    I’ve been learning from him for 2 years. During this time my physicality has transformed from a state of fragility to a state of confidence and play.   @tejovra guided me skilfully through generalist strength and mobility development, improved my handstand from 20s to 60s, handstand pushup, straddle press, 10 muscle ups…. sprinting… ballet squats…   But this is nothing compared to the powerful lessons and experiences he facilitated - I couldn’t do any vertical pulling without pain - to being able to one arm active hang.  I had constant upper trap tension in my neck - to where my neck actually feels supple.  I basically couldn’t spread my legs at all and this caused inside knee pain on my right side - to being able to train middle splits without dying.    I have read all about “movement approaches” to injury rehabilitation… but it’s one thing reading about it and another thing actually trusting in a process and doing it and seeing that it can work. Despite these issues which would have stopped me from training before, we approached this in an intelligent way - working with and through the injuries - until when the pain subsided and I came out actually stronger than before.    @tejovra showed me what actual quality training is… before I thought I was training but with no eye for detail. I had to go all the way back to the start (doing pushups on my knees!!), remove my ego and rebuild better movement patterns.   In this episode I share 4 key learnings from my time with @tejovra. High quality basics … are key.  Generalist strength and mobility training sets you up for complexity. What may work for you, may not work for somebody else Learn from other perspectives    Reflecting on a year with the Passive Hang, I recommend 4 previous episodes which continue to resonate with me and influence my practice - Episode 30 - Jozef Frucek from @fightingmonkey_rootlessroot - on the importance of regulating Energy  Episode 21 - @harryowilliams - basically gives a handstand sermon from the gods Episode 27 - Scott White - a practical guide to injury management Episode 39 - @mrconorwild - deep insights into creative sequencing    Otherwise Episode 12 and 19 with @thomashughemerson from @praksiscanberra. @thomashughemerson is my current teacher :)   Episode 50 to come very soon - !  If you have any requests of guests you’d love me to feature, send me a DM with the recommendation - either on thepassivehang.com or Instagram @phaonp   Thanks to everybody listening for supporting the Passive Hang.

In this rich conversation, Tomislav weaves through a number of thoughts, ideas, and philosophies ranging from an acceptance of not knowing, adaptation to the changes of the modern world, and individual's unique perception of reality. He talk about developing a range of sensory options and the difference between complicated and complex systems. He also shares his thoughts on imitation, and the role is plays on the road to individual style. And, he discusses embracing a variety of approaches, discourse, curiosity, and sharing in a non-heirarchical community.

Soisci is a movement and meditation teacher based in Australia. She has been practicing for over seventeen years and teaching for the past nine years. Her formal movement practice began with martial arts, which culminated when she became Muay Thai world champion in 2011. Soisci transitioned into a generalist movement practice in 2013 when she studied personally with Ido Portal and Odelia Goldsmidt for four years. Today she studies movement from Jozef Frucek and Linda Kapetanea, and has a spiritual mentor, Rajivji Kapur, whose influence has been most transformative for her. Soisci's story and teachings are an amalgamation of all the different unique experiences that have made up her life so far; her Eurasian heritage, growing up in eight different countries, competing professionally in BJJ and Muay Thai, having a keen passion for cooking and creative expression, meditation, learning from some of the best contemporary movement teachers, and using movement practice as a method for self-observation, creativity and embodying your highest self. In this conversation, Soisci tells her story of competing in martial arts and the discovery of a generalist movement practice. She talks about becoming unfulfilled by the acquiring of skills, and how she found herself drawn towards the ability to move from her heart. She also shares about the wisdom in the movie Kung Fu Panda. And, Soisci and Kyle discuss the value of playfulness.

Elke shares about her first exposure to Fighting Monkey coordinations. They ask the question, "What is a generalist?" And, they dig into the the concepts of resilience and change.

Episode…. 30! With the man from Fighting Monkey… Jozef Frucek (@fightingmonkey_rootlessroot). Jozef has to be one of the most interesting thinkers that I’ve had the pleasure to encounter. Having not had the pleasure of attending any FM workshops, I’ve always wondered - “what exactly is Fighting Monkey?”. I get to ask Jozef the question and many more. Jozef talks about energy in a way which is very unique - taking into account how it can change our behaviour and perception towards risk and appetite for transformation. We talk about many concepts including decision making, creativity and appreciating ourselves as complex systems. One of the pillars of the FM practice is communication, and it shows in how he can explain his ideas via personal stories, anecdotes and metaphors. It’s very entertaining and deep.I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did.Find them @fightingmonkey_rootlessroot or https://fightingmonkey.net

Jozef Frucek is an artist, mover, educator and a lot more! He has a very varied background in arts and sports which has enabled him to create a creative and very unique perspective to movement. He is hosting soon a Fighting Monkey seminar in Helsinki with his wife Linda. Some of the topics covered during our hour long and dense conversation include: Jozef´s background in sports and education. Fighting Monkey - what is it and when it was born? What's with the name? What people should expect when attending a seminar? Exercises, games, "movement problems", something else? Who should take part? General questions about the field of fitness, s&c: what's the current state and what you think about it? What most people are missing in their training? Any tips or fuel for thought how people should think about or diversify their training? To learn more and attend the seminar, head to www.fightingmonkey.net

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle asserts that we are always operating in a state of limited understanding. No matter how many variables we take into consideration, no matter how long we worry and fret, we can never have all the data since the amount of data in any given situation is infinite. At the same time, however, humans have minds that are incredibly good at finding patterns, understanding cause and effect, and creating storylines that lead to places of deeper understanding and profound meaning. We tend to love solving puzzles and tracing our fingers along the lines of maps. We thirst for knowledge and understanding and truth. Every human finds themselves in an ancient dance between order and chaos and while many of us may have natural inclinations towards one end or the other, there is an undeniable power in being able to harness the strengths of both. Can we establish enough order and discipline to prepare ourselves for the rigors of survival while never losing the sense of awe and mystery that imbues our existence with moments of wonder and magic? Can we find room in our minds and hearts for science and spirit, freedom and fealty, machination and mystery? In today’s episode of the Evolve Move Play Podcast, we are talking with Jozef Frucek and much of our conversation will cover how this dance emerges not just in our movement practices, but also in our lives at large. Throughout the course of our unfolding stories, can we stand deliberately in the face of chaos, even if it means we might fall, make mistakes, or be proven wrong? Can we be steadfast in our discipline so that our efforts may benefit ourselves, our families, and our communities from now into the future? Is there a way to practice both sides of the coin in your daily life? Join us in our conversation and feel free to leave your thoughts and questions in the comments section.

“Creativity is usually a struggle. In finding novelty, there is a lot of failure. The end-roads are extremely important in finding something new”Fighting Monkey is an applied practice 
for human development through movement. 
It treats each and every person as a unique universe interconnected with the environment and within its own structure. In this conversation I talk with FM founder Jozef Frucek We cover learning, creativity, playfulness, communication, vitality, movement and more. I enjoyed every minute of this one, I hope you do too.Jozef and Linda are bringing something great to the world of movement and physical training, And of course it is something that transcends these worlds as well.Check out more: www.fightingmonkey.net

Tijdens de eerste aflevering ga ik in gesprek met Olivier Goetgeluck. Olivier zijn visie op beweging is uniek in België en Nederland door dat hij verder durft te denken dan het klassieke verhaal. "Wat is atletische ontwikkeling versus vertical jump training" "De leraar die mij het meest heeft bijgebracht, de meest holistische visie, is Jozef Frucek van Fighting Monkey" "Mijn training voordien was eerder gestructureerd en vrij neurotisch zelfs. Heel doelgericht, zoveel sets & zoveel reps. Alles was gecreëerd met getallekes en aantal minuten rustmomenten alsof dat dat een exacte wetenschap kan zijn. Alsof de mens een machine is" "Het laatste element van fysieke ontwikkeling is kracht" "Voor mij is coördinatie de interconnectie van heel u lichaam" "Sport is een vorm van communicatie" "Ik verlies tijd, maar ik win ook veel tijd omdat ik tijd heb om te lezen of om te schrijven of om gewoon eens niets te doen" "De beste NBA-spelers zijn vaak degene die in hun jeugd de grootste diversiteit aan sporten hebben beoefend" "The map is not the territory"

Why does it take us so long to be ourselves? How can a movement practice bring us a deeper understanding of how we engage in the world around us? In this episode I talk with Jozef Frucek, co-founder of Fighting Monkey practice, about the big questions that link movement and life. Along the way we explore communication and creativity, autonomy and play, and much more. This is a favorite of mine, and I hope you learn as much from this conversation as I did.

Jozef Frucek is together with Linda Kapetanea co-founder of Fighting Monkey (FM). They founded Fighting Monkey as a response to the burning need to develop as humans through a practice that would nourish their passion and love for life. This is a conversation for everyone who is willing to question his life. For everyone who has the courage the challenge himself, mentally as physically: Everyone who is ready to explore and passing beyond the habits he created by himself or through society. It is for everyone who wants to be excited about life in all its layers again.

That allowed me to look from the outside and get a fresh look on why I think the best players are getting injured so much and what could be improved in their training. Diversity breeds immunity. Every great system also creates great deficiency.    Most people think strength is always the answer. But we believe there are many things that come before strength. We first work with coordination, then when we get more organized we find a rhythm. Then that rhythm leads us to more kinetic potential and kinetic potential leads to power exploration. Power exploration then leads us to strength training.   We want baseball players bodies to work in one rhythmic unit spending less energy on moving and putting more energy on where to react properly and making the right decisions.     My background is in art, and what is the most important thing in art? Staying creative. We need to always stay creative and find new alterations We all need to improve our training methods. We're kind of sleeping there because we have good training methods. What blocks us just being good to getting better? We need to be pushed to look past what is obvious.

Check out all our podcasts at www.evolvemoveplay.com/evolve-move-play-podcast Jozef Frucek is of the most inspirational movement teachers I have encountered and Fighting Monkey is an incredible practice. He was on fire in this interview. We were all over the place with too many ideas thrown out to track completely. Fighting Monkey and Evolve Move Play are very similar conceptually and contain many similar elements, with the differences arising partially from our different movement backgrounds, as well as our personalities and philosophies. One of the key ideas in movement practice and indeed in life is the balance between form and formlessness. When we create order and structure we give ourselves a scaffolding to work from and a goal to work towards but we constrain our options, constrain what we can perceive, how we can act. Conversely, with formlessness the potential is limitless but direction is difficult. The biggest difference between FM and EMP seems to be in the balance found here. The Fighting Monkey practice leans towards formlessness, to the way of having no way, whereas EMP focuses more on trying to articulate an optimal structure. This theme I think runs through our whole conversation, while touching on many specific aspects of practice and movement philosophy. Specific topics covered include: 1. The balance between the movement practice and bringing in new elements 2. Jozef’s 40/60 rule 3. What is the right “why” for movement practice 4. Heroism and meaning 5. Effective and efficient practice vs. diversity and variability 6. How to develop creativity in movement practice 7. The Heroic archetype and The Iliad and Odyssey, balancing Achilles vs. Odysseus 8. Why you should listen to other people less and listen and to yourself more 9. How we need space and time to allow the development of a practice 10. Jozef’s teachers and background 11. The importance of rhythm; my approach to conceptualization of rhythm for parkour and Jozef’s ideas on how to develop rhythm 12. Why we need to start with improvising, with acting out the thing we want to do 13. Why you want to be a street rat not a lab mouse 14. Specialization vs. general movement practice 15. Longevity and motivation 16. Why the game is more important than the tricks 17. Key things to study to support your movement practice

This episode was recorded in The Chateau Belaney just outside of the town of Zilina in Slovakia after I took part in the 6 Day Intensive Fighting Monkey training camp. My guest on this episode is Jozef Frucek, founder of fighting Monkey along with his partner Linda. It was a great pleasure to sit down with Jozef after the Intensive and discuss some of the concepts, philosophy, and practicalities behind the fighting monkey approach. A special thank you must go to Jozef for taking the time to record the podcast with me, as it was done at 11pm on the last day of the course after an intense week of coaching, and teaching by Jozef and Linda. If you are a strength coach, physio, sports trainer, artist, or have an interest in the overall health of your body, this episode if for you. This was a very inspiring conversation for me, and I am sure that it will be for you as well.   Fighting Monkey Website: https://fightingmonkey.net RootlessRoot Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Rootlessroot/?fref=ts CLICK HERE TO LISTEN ON ITUNES CLICK HERE TO LISTEN ON LIBSYN  Music on this podcast is by the band Kíla.
