After experiencing the transformative power of martial arts firsthand, I couldn't wait to share the film "Fighter in the Wind" with you. The movie portrays how Mas Oyama's indomitable spirit and quest for strength can inspire us all. We dissect how the movie reflects his resilience amidst discrimination and personal battles, a narrative that speaks to the warrior ethos of perseverance and self-improvement. The blend of historical accuracy and mythological flair typical of martial arts cinema adds a really fun layer to Oyama's legacyr.Beyond the cinematic portrayal, let's delve into the essence of building a warrior mindset. By drawing wisdom from iconic figures like Rocky and David Goggins, discussing concepts like shugyo—intense training that shapes mental and spiritual fortitude. It's about finding that delicate balance: pushing your limits without veering into excessive performances. Resilience and composure in adversity aren't just innate talents but skills to be trained and honed. Embrace the path of personal growth, whether through martial arts or everyday challenges, and unlock the grace and determination to conquer life's obstacles. Join us on a journey to harness the true spirit of a warrior, becoming a better version of yourself with each passing day.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:01) - Mas Oyama's Legacy Explored in Film(0:12:33) - Building Warrior Mindset Through TrainingSend us a text

Welcome to this episode in which we explore the subversive side of humour and how it can liberate, inform, expose and undercut in a way that no kick or punch could ever do. In this episode we ask: Why is it that no-one ever chuckles when reading the The Tai Chi Classics? What happens when two taoists and a giraffe walk into a bar and one says to the other.. What is the relationship between eyebrows and cul-de-sacs? Discover the hidden elements that will help you forget a new form, a new approach and a new haircut and allow your Tai Chi to express itself, rather than simply mirror that of your instructor. Learn the secret tools of humour in this special version of One Last Thing here.

A short biography and review of the founder of Kyokushin Karate, a sect of karate known for their emphasis on physical conditioning and full-contact sparring. NOTES *Oyama devised the 100-man kumite; which he went on to complete three times in a row over the course of three days. He was known for his toughness. If you blocked one of his strikes you would in turn be injured. He was injured during the 3 day Kumite, but continued on, prepared for a 4th day, it's rumored to not have happened because no-one else had the disire to continue with him… *He was also known for fighting bulls bare-handed. He battled 52 bulls over the course of his lifetime, supposedly cutting off the horns of several and killing three instantly with one strike, earning him the nickname of “Godhand”. *Later in life, Oyama suffered from Osteoarthritis. Despite his illness, he never gave up training. He held demonstrations of his karate, which included breaking objects. *Oyama wrote over 80 books in Japanese. *Oyama died at the age of 70 in Tokyo, Japan on April 26, 1994, due to lung cancer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/warriormindset/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/warriormindset/support
