Josh Waitzkin was the international under-18 chess champion at age 18, only to quit chess at age 22 and pursue Tai-chi Push Hands, the martial application of Tai Chi. He became world champion in this martial art at age 28, and won the title several more times since then. As an accomplished competitor in two fields - one mental, one mostly physical - a book written by him about how he learns is obviously going to contain some interesting ideas. The main themes of what he writes about are two: learning by focusing on principles and deeply understanding the fundamentals; and how to increase concentration and overcome distraction. Interestingly, many of the things that Waitzkin writes in his own personal way square with a lot of findings of cognitive science, many of which we already talked about in other episodes of the podcast. Ideas such as the role of the subconscious, chunking, and expert blindness all appear in his writing, but he usually refers to these by other names. Two quotes from the book didn't make it into the recording, but are worth sharing, and so I will share them below. On losing: "There is something particularly painful about being beaten in a chess game. In the course of a battle, each player puts every ounce of his or her tactical, strategical, emotional, physical, and spiritual being into the struggle. The brain is pushed through terrible trials; we stretch every fibre of our mental capacity; the whole body aches from exhaustion after hours of rapt concentration. In the course of a dynamic chess fight, there will be shifts in momentum, near misses, narrow escapes, innovative creations, and precise refutations. When your position teeters on the brink of disaster, it feels like your life is on the line. When you win, you survive another day. When you lose, it is as if someone has torn out your heart and stepped on it. No exaggeration. Losing is brutal." On competition: "From one perspective the opponent is the enemy. On the other hand there is no one who knows you more intimately, no one who challenges you so profoundly or pushes you to excellence and growth so relentlessly." Enjoy the episode.

Thank you Ray Walters and Nyle for endorsing us in Martial Arts and Wellness at Linkedin. It is great to hear from you Ray. Been a long while. Many of the old timers like Reid, Dwight and Patrick ask about you. Workshop on Push Hands has stimulated several questions. This weekend is our Push Hands Workshop , we will be working fundamentals of framework, alignment, sensing and intention. I look forward to it. The Pumpkin Carving is this weekend too, I am here all day, so bring it when you ready :) Hop Gar Video Trailor The Hop Gar Trailor I recently put out on Facebook, Vimeo, DailyMotion and Youtube, was a fun project I put together over the weekend. I took several photo I had of myself and others practicing Hop Gar around 1992 at the Golden Dragon resturaunt.There was about 5 of us that regular rotated in full contact beat downs out on the asphalt. Hot asphalt is a GREAT way to teach you to move and stay on your feet to fight. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Oct 27, 1995 I had already another topic laid out and the memory came back. Not sure what triggers it, but it is a solemn reminder to practice and live strong. Being a dad now, the memories are even more intense. I changed to work in Fayetteville so that I could practice KungFu more. I worked in the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab department with some fine folks. My schedule was simple for years. Get up at 5, chikung, posting and breakfast. work, go to the Golden Dragon to practice from 5:30 - 9 or so, come home, crash, do again. Saturdays I got to practice from 7 - 3. Sundays sometimes we would take turns hosting practice at homes. Went on for years. Oct 27 1995, Normal Day, My office was down the hall from new Outpatient Entrance, Fast access to hospital. Then the alert : Hero's The shooter hit and wounded 17 soldiers from the division's 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment as they left an athletic field. He shot three other soldiers who tried to stop him, wounding two and killing Maj. Stephen Badger. Order Amidst Chaos During those intense hours that day, I remember very clearly what looked like chaos. It reminded me of a MASH episode where Hawkeye and Trapper are working triage for wounded soldiers. Yet there was a very firm steadiness. I knew my priorities : Help stop bleeding Ease pain where I could Provide comfort and support Those 3 simple emphasis for me, kept order in the chaos. Why Do I share this memory with you? It occured because of my committment to train to be a better person with kungfu. I made life changing decisions that put me in the position that day. That your experiences can teach you what is important, and what is of lesser importance. Lesson to take today Life is short and can change in an instant. Find time to be grateful for someone or something while you are here. "We may not all agree on the politics that are involved, but I encourage you to agree on supporting those young men that put their lives on the line, both abroad and at home to provide us with the freedom to be happy and to complain." Get out today, practice, remember someone. If you were any way associated with the events of that day and hear my message today. I would like to hear from you. If there is anything I can do, I will. Resources For Today : The only resources I want to list for this episode is : "I support and ask you to contribute a couple dollars to the Wounded Warrior Project. I wrote them the following : I am releasing a podcast this wednesday, Oct 22, 2014 to our growing community. It is in regards to my involvement in the Oct 27,1995 shooting on base. I will be asking listeners today and for years to come to donate directly to the Wounded Warrior Project.I just wanted to let you know :)www.tibetankungfu.net"Sifu TW Smith Don't let me down.
