In this episode we examine the link between Kata (martial arts forms) and Spirit Dance. We also talk about changing perceptions of the meaning of the word "form" in the martial arts over time. The episode was prompted by two of our long-term patrons independently, so many thanks to Tom and Jason for the idea, as well as to Jan for the article that started off our discussion. Not all of this topic was covered, so there may well be a second episode at a later date.

Denise leads by example! Her Kenpo training began in 1994 at the Boise Kenpo Karate school. Today, she holds a 6th-degree black belt. Her 1st-degree rank was significant, as she was the first woman to be promoted to a black belt in a Kenpo organization in the state of Idaho at that time. She later took over this school, which she operated for many years until a promotion at her day job at the Veterans Health Administration required extensive travel. Denise retired from the V.A. after a 37 year long career serving mostly in upper management positions. She shares about her initially difficult transition to retirement until she began to fill her time with what she loves - martial arts, family, and even pickleball. She is active in the Kenpo Women's Symposium, where she promotes women in martial arts. We discuss extensively all the benefits of martial arts outside the physical practice, including communication and learning to overcome failure. If you're looking for a role model and someone who leads by example, you will find it in Denise.

Dharma talk by Eran Junryu Vardi Roshi of Eiryu-ji Zen Center in Wyckoff, NJ, USA on 9/26/21

What is Shamanism? And how does it relate to martial arts? In this episode I catch up with my old, friend and teacher Damon Smith to answer some of these questions. Damon is an incredibly experienced martial artist with a background in various Japanese and Chinese arts including Karate, Kempo, Xing Yi, Baji and Choy Lee Fut. And those are just a few of the arts he's pursued to a very high level. But despite being a great martial artist Damon's true love has always been Shamanism. And while he's no stranger to banging a drum, Damon's shamanism is not the hippy dippy sort of practice you might associate shamans with, instead it's a very down to earth and practical art, much like the martial arts he does. In this episode we talk about the link between martial arts and shamanism, and where the crossovers lie. Music by lesfm from Pixabay To find out more visit www.thetaichinotebook.com

And we've been trying to get together now for what three, four months story is exactly. This big thanks for being on the podcast that you're in New Zealand, it's 9am there on Sunday. And I appreciate you waking up to do this today. Dorrie 2:17 Well, I'm very happy to be here, finally. And to really to spend some time together. So I look forward to this as a Brandon Handley 2:25 thank you. So you just say checked out a podcast or two and some of the stuff that goes on. So you may have heard the question you may not have, I like to start us off with the whole idea that we You and I are vessels for, you know, universal creative energy, and it flows through us and to somebody else, like for great meetings. So the idea is that somebody is going to be listening to this podcast today. And there's a message that can be delivered only through you only right now and to that person, what would you say that messages or Dorrie 3:02 that you truly can believe in yourself? And that you, you can find yourself? Because I think that is what we all are doing here on earth? We are really looking for the truth. The true you, isn't it? Who am I? Who am I really and I think that when you look at that, that you really can find yourself. So just not giving up? I'm looking for the ways what? What is beneficial for you to find yourself. Because if I can do it, then you can do it too, because we all are humans. Brandon Handley 3:40 with that. I mean, it's I love I love the message. And you know if you could clarify what you mean, right? What does it mean to find yourself and you know, what did you What have you discovered? about who you are? Dorrie 3:54 Huh? Yes? That's a good question. And of course, a very big question. But for me, when you look at my history in my life, it sometimes hasn't been that easy. And I think we all have our life story. And we all have our challenges to go through life. But what if the biggest challenge would become your biggest treasure in life? And so, what I always ask people is to look deeper and to look in a broader way to life to understand life better. And with that, I mean, it is that we are really feeling and that we think that it is reality at this moment what we are doing but the question is, is it that way? Is that what you think that you are? Is that reality? Or is there maybe a deeper you somebody who is really connected Did with everything I mean, without who is connected with nature, who is truly connected with all the human beings who really feels at home within themselves, and who truly feel what you say in the beginning that creativity, because that is what I, what I have experienced, and also how I've been learned all the information that that person is always there. But you are not aware of that person yet. And so that person, why can't you see that yet? It was because, yeah, we are more running alive with a lot of patterns. And so what are, yeah, I can go deeper. And that may be later I think that too, truly find behind the habitual ways of thinking what you are now doing in your life, to find behind there, your heart, for example, with all the beautiful qualities, which can steer you through life, that has, that can have a great impact on your life, which it also did for me. Brandon Handley 6:19 Now, that's definitely a lot of great stuff in there, right? Feeling feel, especially feeling at home with yourself, as you're mentioning, the idea of the creativity finding this way through, you know, kind of your own internal creative devices. And then the idea that the real you is always there. So let's talk a little bit about that as as, as we as we kind of go through these different layers and your journey there. And I think that where we want to start off with is a little bit about the documentary, right? And what is the what is the where to go the system, right? The the Qigong system that you went through the the ranchu system, right, and how you got involved with that, why you got involved with it, and kind of where that led to for you. Dorrie 7:13 is unbelievably cheap. Would you like me to start with? Well, Brandon Handley 7:16 I mean, so you got involved with the, you know, the ranchu system? What led you there? And what is that? Dorrie 7:23 Yes, well, as you probably also can hear how I speak English. It's not my first language. So I'm coming from the Netherlands. And we emigrated I say, we that is my husband and two children, then they were still at the age from what is it four and six. And we emigrated now 13 years ago to New Zealand. And I really got drawn to this country here in New Zealand. Because of just a feeling what I felt I thought all that nature and it is so so you know what, I just got drawn to it. And also for the children one thing for them to grow up in a more natural way as as being in a very busy country from the Netherlands. And so we went to New Zealand and I so I, I already did their healing work, I did more animal healing, and also for people. And I was looking for a way for myself to relax more to find something nice for me to do in my free time. And suddenly, I just found somebody who was actually growing vegetables and the vegetables at that place. They tasted so beautiful. I never had this that's such a beautiful fetch the boats and I told her, I said, Oh, that is so amazing. Wow, what is that? What kind of secret are you using? And then she said, Yes. Well, when I'm gonna tell you that about it. You're gonna be surprised. And I thought Oh, really? Yes. She said it is undo when she gone. She said, I said Oh, really? Well, I know what she gone was because I did that a little bit in the Netherlands already. So and she Gong is a form. Well, most of the time when I explain it to people, it is Tai Chi. And most of the people are aware what it is. But actually Tai Chi comes from Shi Gong, it's a very old form what we use in in China, China. For movements, we use movements, breathing techniques. But there's it more. You use the hands with it. And yeah, all kinds of things are kind of meditations moving mad at Asian. And so that is what she did there at that moment that apparently she used that also to grow her vegetables with. That was really very interesting, of course for me, so I thought I'd give this a try. Well, that's how my journey there started. And I must say, although I did healing work, I find myself sometimes not in really the best state. And, and even with doing she gone, I noticed when I do it, that she gone in the beginning that I immediately already felt a lot better. That was also very strange for me that I could feel the results over so quick. And so when I was doing the, the sheet wrong, I still had the feeling that I yeah, how do I say that? That I still? I was in a good state, and then I went home, and then my state dropped again. Yeah, and especially when you have little children? I you must be actually in a good state, isn't it? Because they, yeah, they Brandon Handley 11:12 do real quick, if you don't mind what you what do you mean by not in the best date? Like just Dorrie 11:17 yeah. So what what is what is actually a normal state, a normal state is when you are relaxed, calm and natural. And so for me, that is that is normal, there is no other state. And that may be seems now for you, then strange. But when you are going to learn about this, then you then you understand that that's, I think the way you've been brought up that you have learned that it is normal to be angry, it's normal to be very sad, or whatever, because we do have our emotions. And then I now I have learned, yes, of course, we are all human beings. But the question is, do we really have to do that? Maybe we can develop ourselves and grow. So that we learn and that we don't have to do this anymore? And that we can stay in a normal state what I say in a calm, relaxed and natural way. And that it's really possible. Brandon Handley 12:23 It is that where you your your your quote, unquote, normal state was, you know, you would still have anger, was there depression involved as well? Was your normal state is low, would you just say you were kind of in your normal state was low and you you were doing the Qigong. And while you're doing Qigong, you were able to not feel that way you were able to feel this sense of calm that you're talking about this normalization of feelings. Whereas as soon as you stopped it, then you would go right back to the not the best state that you were talking about. Dorrie 13:04 While it is not that that every time is the same, of course, sometime you stay long in that state. Yes, it is that you you notice that when you are doing the Shi Gong, that immediately your whole energy level goes up. And that you can feel very calm and really very relaxed, and you're in beautiful states. And so that is of course, very nice. But and that I think that is also for other modalities when I look at a yoga. So a lot of mothers Tell me when I do the yoga, it's very nice, but then I lose my good state again. Well, that is exactly where their Rancho system comes up. So, we are talking about doing she Gong, but that is not all that is not what what makes it that you reach the state that you go to that state. It's not about reaching, it is about just going there. And so, the rain shoe system, it is really a holistic system. So what do you do there, you learn what your mind is doing the whole day. You learn how to, to find other ways to get yourself back into balance. You learn about nature, because nature is very important to go to that state. We are not so much connected anymore with nature in this ever fast going world. So learning about nature, about the rules from nature, I think that's also important. And then so you learn about your heart. You learn what it is to have an open heart And so the founder from the system, that's young say. And so the, the, he talks about having the five heart qualities. And here we are talking about openness, trust, openness, love, gratitude, and utmost respect and gorging. And so you learn about these qualities. So and so there are nine methods in this holistic system, which is really a lot. So you have the the moving meditations, you have stillness. So you do still practice where you stand still, where you learn to focus, where you learn to be quiet. And then so learning about your mind with this presence, learning with the heart, learning to, to be in the present moment. And so that is all coming together. And you know, one person needs more this one person needs more depth. But I've never seen an holistic system, but it's so broad, what brings it all together to reach higher realization, wisdom and growth. Unknown Speaker 16:19 And Brandon Handley 16:22 so you've got your five heart qualities, you've got your methodology, where Now where was the system developed? Or are you able to share that? Dorrie 16:30 Yes, so the Shi Gong, the first basic information, what Yonsei has, it comes all from China. And it has its its roots from traditional wisdom. And you can think about that wisdom, kung fu wisdom, the Buddhism, the martial arts, yeah. And so there is all that that foundation, but when Yonsei came to New Zealand, so he emigrated from China, to New Zealand, he figured out by traveling also, through all the places also in America and Europe, that people need that they're a different system, and that he really wanted to, to put all the tools in there, what we, as Western people really can good can understand. And so that is when he developed here, the young Gong system here in New Zealand, with these nine methods. Brandon Handley 17:30 Okay. And so I got, you know, my guesses then, like, these are, you know, sounds corny to say ancient Chinese wisdoms, right, but like, these ancient Chinese wisdoms that he has put into place, in a holistic system, right. So it's not just a Chee Gong, there's other pieces and involved in it, and he's put it all together to have a complete system Dorrie 17:54 is, and that is also what you really will feel if you're going to practice it, because I have really done quite some other practices in my life before that, I started this, but I, you know, you every time have questions about life, and so I did one thing and then I had questions, and then I went to the other system, and then I again, other questions came up, and I hoped like that, but when I finally found this system, I really got all the answers that I have in life. And that was so unique. And so, every aspect of life we are talking about. So that is also where you can say teach us about it can be death, it can be about, for example, the COVID. Now, it can be your physical health, it can be anything. And so having there abroad or look with somebody who has reached such a high level of wisdom, it's really interesting to Yeah, for your own growth in life. Brandon Handley 19:01 Were you able to work with him in person? Dorrie 19:05 Yes, awesome. Yeah, no, Brandon Handley 19:07 I think that's, you know, that's highly beneficial. Right. So there's lots of systems online, that you have access to in terms of with a lot of like, even yoga practices or other meditation practices. But the idea of having that person in person with you, and not just online, I think that makes a very big difference. Dorrie 19:29 Um, well, I agree. I did that also, in the one I've stated before the COVID. I felt that and so we all went to retreat from him. And so before the, for example, the teacher training that was every year, two weeks, that we all gathered together, and then in the meantime, we could see until but through the COVID we have learned that it actually isn't the problem because if feeders are live streaming the information, what comes from there, through the whole community, what is built very strongly will receive them also this information. And I think that you, you can make shifts very easily being together, what we call the key and the key field, if that makes sense. I Brandon Handley 20:23 think I think that, uh, there's, there's a, there's that element of trust, and everybody kind of focused at the same time on the same thing, and together, you know, to create or be immersed in that field together. So I think that that that certainly makes sense to me. You've mentioned that some of some of your biggest questions were answered, right? What was like, what's an example of one or two of the big questions that were answered? Some question is, it's very important that your vegetables taste differently to. Dorrie 21:00 Yes, so I learned to grow my vegetables in the way that that lady did. And yes, you can really taste it. And it is with anything that you do in life when you learn to put a chip in it, so that is the energy and it and the mind into it, then your whole meal, what you're cooking for the day can taste completely different and, and that are so many other things that you asked me my questions about life, it certainly had to do about death. That I felt that because I've always been very intrigued in in that are always in my life from a very young age. And so I got there the confirmation that, that it was the way I was feeling about death. And, and now I truly also can feel that after I've made this last bigger step, I don't know how to explain it differently, I must say. Brandon Handley 22:04 Would you say that that the it's a shift, right? Would you say that the place that you're at now is just simply a shift from where you were before? Not necessarily different, but different, right? I mean, it's it's really hard to kind of put in the terms. I was the Buddhist line or Buddhism line I don't know if it's true or not, but you know, before enlightenment, chop wood carry water after enlightenment, chop wood carry water. Right. So but there's wood you there's just a different quality to life, which is Dorrie 22:43 Yes, it is. So yeah, on the one hand, we can say there is nothing special. But on the other hand, yes, it truly is special and why is it special? Because I'm everyday in a good state. And every moment of the day in a good state. Well, that was not something what I could say that I was what you mentioned, of depression, not feeling sometimes really deeply alone in life. And now feeling the feeling that I always feel in a good and an uplifted state and I'm very content and harmonious inside myself. I think that is on the one hand truly a miracle. And to and but on the other hand, yes I am just me so there is nothing special. Brandon Handley 23:36 Dori how long what you know how long did it take you to a recognize that that space was available for you? And then the How long did it take you to maintain that state of being? Dorrie 23:53 Well, to maintain I still I still am the same. So it is still my state like that since that it happened. So not nothing has changed. Only my life has more depth now though Brandon Handley 24:07 when So when did you have that realization for yourself? Like how long a doctor practicing that she gone? Dorrie 24:16 Yes, well, when I give this answer now to you, then people are going to compare themselves with me. We are going to do this and that is actually not what I would like to do. Because you know when I learned that I when I started to do she gone, the system was not yet there. And so the system now is is fully there with all the nine methods. And so people who are now starting they go faster through it. So I did first the senang she gone and when people are doing she gone than they know what I'm talking about. And then I started to do this system that in total, I'm learning from Yancey for now for 12 years. So better the last four years have been really intense for me Brandon Handley 25:13 just in terms of that quality of life that you're talking about the transition and change where you that have entered your life, Dorrie 25:21 or years, but right from the beginning. And so when I would say the first seven years, I made my make huge shifts in growth in my life. And I can also see that in all from all the teachers who are went through this course, we all really have changed completely I can see everybody has had so much growth in their life. Brandon Handley 25:46 No, and that I love that. I think that's great. And I think that it's fair and I understand your reluctance to, you know, state how long your journey has been, simply due to the fact that everybody's journey is their own right. I mean, somebody somebody could get to a certain spate in the blink of an eye, and somebody, it may take 40 years. And and so with any with any practice, the practice is to become more yourself, as you were talking about in the beginning, right, finding out who you are, and being comfortable with who you are, and understanding who you are, versus if so, yeah, versus becoming or attaining this thing within a specified period of time. Dorrie 26:39 Yeah, that's just what you're saying. You never know, of course. What makes it that you are able to make that step has to do with your previous life? Yes, I think so. But on the other hand, I can see so much growth from the people who are who have done this, the system, that is really remarkable. And so, at the moment when I have this big step, and before me, also, there'll be for me, Norberto Rodriguez had the same, which is remarkable, isn't it that two people in the same system, go to that step, and other people are following. So because we are human, so we can we can do that, too. And so I think really, when you when you are in that, yeah, in that flow, and also when you when you receive that theoretic information, I think that a lot is possible that when you already then yeah, you get that push to do it. Right? Brandon Handley 27:47 How would you say this work has impacted your family life? Dorrie 27:54 Yes, very beautiful question. It has changed to the life of, of our family members, for all of us. It all has a lot of impact. And so now our children are at the age of 20, and 18. And so they are really in the face of gaining a lot of information from learning, you know, learning in at university, but then he didn't have changed a lot. Yes, they are so much connected with themselves. And hear well, there is peace and harmony in home. And which i think it's it's a very beautiful thing. And that is the same for my husband. So he has been on this journey with me. And so it's not that he is really doing the course here. But he learns from just me talking about life, of course, and when you are open to that you can grow to. And so we can say that we have made a big change that we all are and we all are every time taking new steps. It's amazing to see your children grow in this way. Brandon Handley 29:19 I think that it's interesting that you bring up to the idea that your husband while he's not in the course with you, he is learning through kind of what you're doing. He's opened himself. One of the questions that I see a lot of people ask is, you know, you're growing dories growing at Dorries rate, and you're growing in like, you know, by by this practice, and maybe he's not growing as fast as you or a perceived, you know, so how do you answer that question? You know, what if my spouse or significant other isn't growing at the same rate or the same way I am, what are your thoughts, sir? Well Dorrie 30:00 I have learned to look inside myself to answer that question. And I think it is also that you can find there your solution to that, because it makes me even more eager to grow more in my life. Because I think when you reach a high level of realization, then you can feel compassion for the other, you can understand the other, you can see the patterns, the struggle where another person goes through in life. And so then you also can, can react in a different way to that person. So, for example, when, when the person next to you becomes angry, you can be upset from that. But that then actually means that maybe you need to work a little bit more on yourself. Because why should I become angry when another person is angry? Maybe I can find different tools to let that person understand life better. And worse, also, what I have done, Brandon Handley 31:14 right, so sounds sounds. Yeah, so sounds like sounds like, you know, if it seems like that growth or activity isn't spiritually aligned with who you are outside of you, you still need to look inside of yourself, right? If it's coming from outside, you know, that anger somebody else is angry, or, or maybe somebody else is in growing it, quote, unquote, the rate that, you know, they, quote, unquote, should be, right, the truth of the matter is that it's still you that needs to grow and needs to find and or create that space to allow for for just long, and again, it's all you Is that what you're saying, Yeah, Dorrie 31:58 yes, every second of the day, you need to have awareness about yourself. So when that will disturb you, when that other person would have that emotion, then it means that you need to come and action and do something about it, to get yourself back to that good state, because something is going on there. Because if you are in a very good state, if you are in that feeling of high realization, you don't need to be bothered by anything. Nothing needs to be happening. There you are, everything is already okay. The way it is, isn't that. Brandon Handley 32:35 Right? Absolutely. We just have a real tough problem. Like, it's a challenge if you haven't done some of this work already. To see that. Right. You know, back to your earlier point, you know, the real you is always there, this person that you're talking about that that you are that this realize being right and and always having this, this this potential state that always exists, right? This potential you that always exists, it's just your ability desire to cultivate it, and sit with it. Is that what you're saying? Dorrie 33:20 Yeah, so that that person who you really are. So I tried to explain it, that person who you really are, is highly connected. Yeah, it's, it's connected with your spirit, your soul. So we call it in the red shoe with this, your shin. And so that is also what you take with you, when you when you die, that's what you always will take with you. And that's part is highly connected with your heart. So, when you were born, you were connected with that part. Yet you you felt all your heart qualities on what I was talking about in the beginning, I trust, openness, love, gratitude, and that through respect, but one when you're going through life, and that is already in a very early stage. You you get experiences in your life, isn't it? It's normal, of course. And so, bit by bit the pure information how you were born becomes vague, we can see. And so you you there get patterns. Now, what are patterns? What are patterns in our life? Well, it is information, what is received, processed and used in the same way. Repeat repeatedly. So let me explain it to you. With let's let's explain that just with with driving a car when I'm Driving a car, you know, can you remember how you in the beginning had to learn to drive the car? You were looking with? With what food do I need to, to bring to use the brake. And then when something what came on the road, you really had to start thinking about that I Oh, wait, I need to do this. And then I need to put my right foot on the brake. And then it happens that my car will stop here. After a while. Yeah, you don't know better. And suddenly a duck comes on the road, and you just you would use your brake, you just do that it becomes automatically Yes, right. And that is actually the same what happens in your life with many, many things. It can be on a habitual way. For example, using now the COVID, we couldn't go outside and you come back, you are at home and you want to go for your dinner and you have your dinner ready. And you think I'm going to sit for in front of the TV, and you sit there and you eat your meal. And the next day you think attipas actually quite nice. It was cozy there. I do that again. But before that, you know, you sit every day in front of the TV, eating your dinner. Yeah. And that is the same things within life. But then on a different way on in the with the consciousness. So maybe you're saying now something to me, like Dorrie. Whereby let's let's Ms. Now think I must have come up with an example. Though, let's do a talk here. And I immediately feel that I can't do that. And so why actually Shouldn't I do that? Because it's something what is naturalism there to do with talk? But no, it reminds me of when I went to primary school, and I had to do a speech there. And that was actually really very scary for me. So now I can't be natural anymore in that. And I just say, No, I don't, I don't have time for that. But actually, what really is there is a lot of fear. And that is a pattern, what is underneath there under the skin, what is going on. And so there are a lot of presence in your life, really a web of patterns. And it can be like that you want to hide for yourself, it can be like that you feeling greed, actually, which is a normal thing. But still, that you feel great. It can be that you are suspicious in life, that are a lot of patterns. While and this is what we learn that when you have awareness in your life in when something happens in your daily life, that you detect what kind of things that are playing, and that you can do something about that, that you can change it. You never can say all now I'm not doing it anymore. That's not possible. It's that it is it is in the brain a shortcut to do things. So we have to do it that way. But we want to have good patterns in life, the healthy beneficial profits, and not the patterns will give us this Yeah, not free and natural life. So when we work on that, when we really work on these patents, then suddenly there comes space in your life that cause more calmness in your life. And so when you then work on these heart qualities, you can suddenly go deeper feeling yourself, which is really very interesting. I would say that Brandon Handley 39:08 that's something that the feeling ourselves. And the snap natural state is something that in western civilization, that we're kind of trained out of. Right, and kind of what you're talking about is these patterns that we develop. We refer to it oftentimes as our programming, right? our default programming is like, Hey, you know, I'm, I'm going to do this thing because of that result that I had that one time or vice versa, like you're saying, right? Like, it's really scary up in front of class, second grade, and I don't want to have to feel that feeling again. So whatever I can do to avoid that feeling. I'm going to keep doing and what you've learned through your practices is to kind of go through see that within yourself and learn how to feel through it. around it and get yourself into a place of this free and natural and what and my guess is that when you're staying free and natural is to express yourself without that fear to be yourself without that. inhibition, and and fear, right? So you're liberate yourself from from something like that Is that Is that about right? Dorrie 40:23 And that is being at home. Brandon Handley 40:25 Yeah, that's beautiful. I love it. So you're doing this practice, now you've got, you've got your own practice. But you also mentioned that you've got an A Women's International charity that you're working on or practice that you're working on, you want to share a little bit about what that is, and oh, yes, thank you, Dorrie 40:44 Toby, on 2022, we are going to start with a foundational program. And yes, it is a charitable trust for women and the name is so she is now. And yeah, it's really beautiful. So the information comes totally from the rain shoe system. But that is that we are really focusing on the female females in the world of female energy in the world. Because I think that that is important. Now, that is that is how I felt it that it is important that the women really can find themselves here. I think they this we can see that also in the leadership in the world, the women really aren't doing very well isn't Brandon Handley 41:33 wasn't New Zealand that had like a really great Prime Minister. I don't know what the is the prime minister, she did some really great you know, you New Zealand went through this with female labour COVID with female leadership, and that was highly regarded. Dorrie 41:51 Yes, very beautiful from jacinda. Arden. And but that is not that is not all that I see in the world, what I can see is that the women, they have the connection, they really have a beautiful connection to spread a message in the world, through their own families. And by being becoming mothers, for example, and to share this with our own family members, because that will beneficial also very much are a man in the world. And I think that we need some more of these feminine qualities to to reach more peace and harmony in the world. Brandon Handley 42:36 When you say feminine qualities. What do you What are you saying? Dorrie 42:41 The the qualities, to use your heart the qualities to connect with each other. I think that women are very good in Connect making connections with each other. And to feel that the heart qualities can can bring. Yeah, profound change in the world. But as I said, we need to first dive into learning how your mind works and to Yeah, to to make that change Brandon Handley 43:14 for ourselves. Right, I forget the term. It's a Buddhist term that talks about the heart mind connection, it sounds like that's what you're trying to do. Right, you're taking you know, whereas I would say that the two differences, probably my own observation would be the two different primary differences between male and females that females lead with their heart, right that the innate connection, and then men tried more to lead with their head, you know, I'm not saying that women don't but just as a as a, you know, which one takes over most time, like men try to lead with like more logic and, and, you know, these these lines versus with their heart, right? So by combining your head and your heart, you're able to really, you've got there's a whole different thing happening there. And Buddhism has a term for it, I forget what it is off top my head. But that sounds to me a little bit what you're doing, you're saying Alright, listen, with your with your feminine qualities which are already innate with you, let's, let's bring that to connect with your mind. So that you know we can really express and, you know, take your place, you know in life, right. Let's go ahead and lead from that space. Dorrie 44:31 Yes, absolutely. And yet, you can see when when I look at the evolution from the women, of course we have changed a lot. But we had to receive our rights as women and but the question is if that went No, it went of course the way it had to grow. But now it is time to come back home more to your authentic A women qualities, because we have been always like, well, it's more like fighting against the man that you also go there, you know, like the like, feeling these same qualities that i think it's it's not, it's not what we really want to do we want to just to come home in our own qualities, and that can bring change for our men also in the society. Brandon Handley 45:25 Oh, yeah, I mean, I think it's funny, like I'm feeling the vision more than I'm seeing it right now what you're saying, and I understand. Definitely, I think a challenge two to present it. But I feel I can feel where you're going with it. And, you know, I think that's I think that's fantastic. And I think that there's the time is certainly now. Right. for for for that. And I think that, um, I think the space is open for it, right that what you're doing the work that you're doing. And I think that it's definitely, definitely necessary. Right? And it's not it's not i think is it's not this combative nature and space and place that women need to be in, they need to be in their own right space. And you know, and it's it's difficult to put, I think, into words, but I understand, I think, where you're headed with it. And so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how that goes for you. And I think that that's a great work that you're doing and putting out there. Dorrie 46:32 Now, thank you. That's very, very lovely. Yeah. And I can understand that, that you that it's not at this moment for people is that you think, yeah, how is she going to do that. But it is going to be in a very practical way. Because I understand very well that most of the women don't have so much time during the day, actually. And, but you can see that what I have done now, I also have two children and a job and I still am able to do this and to reach the state. So then when I can do that, and everybody in the world can do that, isn't it. And so I thought about this, and I thought, we really need to do this in a practical way that you get the core information and to use it in your daily life. You need to use it in the heat of the moment, you know, when something is happening, then you must be able to have tools to grow and to come back home and yourself. And so yeah, I hope that I can surprise you. Yeah, listen, next. Yeah, I Brandon Handley 47:41 think I think that, um, you know, I think it's, it's the intent to do it, how it has to happen. It's still unfolding for you as my guests, right? It's still unfolding, and it's still presenting itself, but it's in motion. And, and you're a part of it, right? You're, then that's that's really, I think all you can say, right, as it develops and as you present it. So, Dorrie, is there anything else that you would want to cover or share with the listeners of this program today? Dorrie 48:13 Um, well, maybe if I if they haven't seen for sure, they can have a look at the website there. And then they that will lead them to the place where they can have a look at the documentary because especially also when you have physical problems, physical problems, mental problems, quite questions about life, I think it's really worth it that you will have a look at that documentary. And when you are looking that you are just feeling inside yourself, actually, what am I feeling now that I am receiving this information? And that's it, this it tickle myself? Do I feel there something? Because I think that is a call from your heart. Right? Right. So if you do, Brandon Handley 49:05 yeah, I mean, and the movie The documentary is is already free. And, you know, I can share out the link from that, so that people can go check that out. Basically, you know, they follow Dorrie, Norberto and they share the story of the red shoe system, and just kind of the changes that came into both Dorrie and Roberta's life. And you know, as Dora keeps saying is like, hey, if I can do it, you can do it too. It just takes it just takes and it's a practice, right or Dorrie 49:38 Yes. And yeah, what I say when I can do with em, you can do with too, but I really would like to tell to the listeners. When you would have found something that is so profound. How would you spread that in the world? Tell me It is not so easy, of course, because the world is very big. But I really would like to give it to all of you. And that is also my, my goal now in my life to really to tell it to others, that there really is a lot possible when you really want Would you like to develop yourself Brandon Handley 50:20 now apps? Absolutely, I think that there's, there's a place that you can get to and a space that you can get to that. I can't say that I'm in a consistent state that door is talking about, but I have had this experience of being in that place. And you know, that then the desire comes through. Alright, well, how do I keep myself in that space? Right. And and that's, that's, that's the challenge, especially with our busy lives, and all these other things going on these default programs that Laurie was talking about, and all the other ways that we've always been like, well, who do we really want to be? And I think Dorrie, that's, that's the story that you're sharing. So I've got a couple of questions for you. I kind of liken this podcast a little bit to a speed dating, right? Like somebody is going to come on my spiritual speed dating, somebody is going to come on listen to this podcast, it's in search of like, their next spiritual connection, right? The next, you know, somebody they want to date for a little bit in the spirituality space, right? Because there's so much out there, right. And it's a little tongue in cheek, it's a little kind of entertainment, but like, so I just have, like, one. Um, one quick question for you would be, what is our greatest distraction. Dorrie 51:41 Our greatest distraction is our mind. And we need to catch ourselves when we are operating from the construct that says self identity. Our greatest destruction is really our mind, and we are not aware of it. We are not aware of where we are. And that is, when we have figured that out, then we can come home to ourselves. Brandon Handley 52:08 You would say that's kind of the beginning, then to understand that we are you know, we're not our minds, and that our minds is the biggest distraction and starting to pay pay a lot of attention there. Dorrie 52:19 Yes, so but you need to learn that, of course, if you don't know, we, you need to pay attention to them. Nothing happens. So somebody needs to tell you what to do. How to do that? Brandon Handley 52:30 For sure. Yeah, absolutely. So I mean, one of the other things is I do a martial art, you know, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And I always bring it up too, right? Like, I could be doing, I could I could do jujitsu my entire life without instruction, and I would never get it. Right. Right. I may, I may get a couple things, right. But by taking the lessons and having somebody that knows how to do it, and training me to do it, I'll then become aware of what I need to do in the right situations at the right time. So that, you know, I can find this calm and space in place versus doing it in a frantic worried, always concerned kind of manner. I have these techniques, these tools that you're talking about with this system that you can put into place. Right so that um, yeah, yeah, yes. Very. Yeah. So Dorrie, thanks again, so much for being on today. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday morning. And you know, so somebody, you know, again, outside of already free if somebody wants to come check out what Dorrie is up to, where could they go to find out more about you and your organization that you have planned? coming for? 2022? Dorrie 53:39 Yes, so well, the organization from rain shoe, it is the rain shoe international.org. But rain shoe, you spell that r e n and then x UE it's a little bit tricky. It's a little bit tricky sometimes for people. Well, and for 2022. The we don't have already our professional website up but we do have the the website up for donation for the charity. And you can have a look there at She is now.net. There you can find our information. Brandon Handley 54:18 Thank you, Dorrie. And are you taking clients now yourself as a coach? Dorrie 54:24 Well, because you mentioned that in the beginning, at this moment, we are just producing all the content for Yeah, for the launch from a she is now but after that, I probably will do that again, my, my personal coaching because I do that Brandon Handley 54:42 for people all over the world. So that's on hold a little bit right now until you've got this other piece as well. Fantastic Dorie, I know that I know that that's going to be very successful for you. I can you know, I've got a great feeling for it. Myself, and when you describe it, it just feels feels very Yeah, absolutely. It feels very good. clear for you. Right and that that path is is is open for you. So thanks again for being on today. Transcribed by https://otter.ai

Hi liebe BJJ, Grappling und MMA community, es wird wieder Zeit für die nächste Podcast-Folge. Der Name Peter Angerer gehört zur deutschen MMA- und Grapplingszene wie die sprichwörtliche Faust auf's Auge. Der gebürtige Babenhausener kämpfte bereits in den 90er Jahren nach “Mixed Rules”, vor allem bei den jährlichen Weltmeisterschaften im Shidokan Triathlon in Chicago (USA). Über das Shidokan trat Angerer auch erstmals mit dem Grappling, BJJ und MMA in Kontakt. Rund 25 Jahre später blickt der Gründer des German Top Team auf eine beispiellose Karriere in den verschiedensten Vollkontakt Kampfsportarten zurück. Als siegreicher Veteran der internationalen Top Labels “Cagewarriors” und “FX3” kämpfte der rastlose Globetrotter von Japan, über die USA und Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate bis hin in ganz Europa. Mit weit über 600 Kämpfen im Vollkontakt Karate, Kick-/Thaiboxen, Kempo, Grappling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu und MMA verfügt der in Metzingen lebende Veteran über einen Erfahrungsschatz, der hierzulande nur schwer übertroffen werden kann.

Charles David "Chuck" Liddell (born December 17, 1969) is a retired American mixed martial artist and former Ultimate Fighting Championship Light Heavyweight Champion. Liddell has an extensive striking background in Kempo, Koei-Kan karate and kickboxing, as well as a grappling background in collegiate wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. During his prime, Liddell was known for his knockout power, iron chin, excellent counter striking and for his sprawl-and-brawl technique, which made him one of the most difficult fighters to takedown. He is one of the most dominant champions that ever competed in the UFC. He has the second most knockouts in UFC history, only behind Anderson Silva. Liddell had 23 fights in the UFC, and along with Randy Couture, is widely credited for bringing mixed martial arts into the mainstream of American sports and entertainment. On July 10, 2009, he was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. Since his retirement in late 2010, Liddell has also made several film and television appearances, including a number of appearances before he retired.

Eric Umali was my very first coach in mixed martial arts. He is a Hawaiian Kempo black belt under John Hackleman and a 10th Planet Jiujitsu brown belt under Coach Casey Halstead. Aside from training with John Hackleman and Chuck Liddell, he also shares his story of being an executive in the LA film industry. He is one of the most humble and kind people I know. He inspires me to be a better person and a better martial artist. If it wasn't for Eric and The Pit 702 I wouldn't have won my kickboxing championship and I wouldn't be the person I am today.

Ken grew up on a farm in Hope Valley, Rhode Island. In 1967 he joined the Marines and began his study of the Fighting Arts. While with the USMC, he studied Combat Fighting, Weapons Combat, Infantry Training, Basic Specialist Training, and Jungle Guerrilla Warfare Training. He then got his chance to evaluate this training as he was sent to combat in Viet Nam. Upon returning, he stopped over in Okinawa and witnessed Okinawian Shorin-ryu Karate. He made up his mind that he would study this art when he returned home to the States. In 1971 he began his study of Shorin-ryu when he met and began studying with Sensei Mario Yambao. Sensei Yambao had won the Bronze Medal at the Japan World Tournament and had just arrived from the Phillipines. Ken studied with Mario for fifteen years and  earned Sandan (3rd Degree Black Belt) in Okinawian Shorin-ryu. Later earning his forth degree when promoted by 8th. degree Jun Caballero. Ken also studied and has black belt rank in Judo, Ju-Jutsu, TaiHo-Jutsu, SenI-Ryu Budo as well as un-ranked arts like Catch Wrestling and Hung Gar. During this time, Ken also studied Judo, Ju-jitsu, Taiho-jitsu, and Chinese Shaolin Chin-na. It was at this time that he started to dissect the Shorin-ryu kata (forms) and return the techniques to Pre 1900 meanings following the principles of Shaolin Chin-na. Over the years Ken dove into a deep study in the ancient art of Chin-na which has five sections: Muscle Manipulation, Bone Dislocation, Circulatory Disruption, Breath Disruption, and Pressure Point Attacks. The Pre 1900 was reborn and Ken called it Kempo-jitsu Pre 1900 MA, meaning "Chinese/Okinawian Truth". Ken was to bring the old martial art to the attention of sport martial artists through out America. Most students of "Sports Martial Arts" believe they are studying the "Old Arts" , but are in fact practicing the art developed between 1900 and 1940 for Okinawian school children. Ken made it a point to meet and listen to many Grandmasters of other arts through the years. Among these are:   Grand Master Winchell P C Woo of the Hung Gar Fu Hok (Hung Family Tiger/Crane) who taught Ken many secrets of Chin-na O Sensei Phillip S Porter the American Judo Legend under who Ken won his 5th Dan in Judo Grand Master of  ITJF Taiho-jutsu Bernard "Gil" Gilbert who is an expert in Vital Point Attacks and Restraining Techniques and over the years earned his 10th. degree under GM Gilbert. Grandmaster of American Taiho-jitsu Alan Cunningham who excels in Law Enforcement techniques and Short Stick. Ken learned many techniques from GM Cunningham. Master 6th Degree James Byersdorf who spent many years teaching Judo and Ju-jitsu at the MACKO Headquaters before moving to Vermont. The world lost a fine Judo teacher when Master Byersdorf passed away in 2018. Grandmaster Kenneth Miarecki who presently works on Judo and Sen-i Ryu Budo with Ken at MACKO Headquarters. Thanks to GM Miarecki Ken has perfected Judo balance in combat which he incorporated into his art of Kempo-Jitsu Pre 1900 MA. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/martial-maze/support
