This week on Wrestling Omakase we continue our ongoing coverage of two major tournaments! John introduces the unusual format we'll be using for the next two weeks (it was the only way they could bring you these episodes due to some travel they'll be doing), as they start out going solo to talk about the first five days of the STARDOM 5 Star GP. They break down each and every tournament match so far, from the enormous 16-match opening day in Ota Ward right through the doubleheader in Utsunomiya. Hear all about some of the best matches of the tournament so far, including Saori Anou vs. Ami Sohrei in a match that showed off what could be the main event future of the promotion, Sareee getting absolutely nuclear heat all week long, AZM and Starlight Kid tearing the house down and a whole lot more! John's good friend Quinlan returns to the show to talk about the final 5 Star GP show of the week (the evening show from Utsunomiya) and gives a bit of a casual viewer perspective on it.Then John & Quinlan both break down Nights 7-11 of the G1 Climax in full, talking about some interesting topics: attendance finally showing signs of life during the last week, whether Konosuke Takeshita is perhaps having a bit of a weaker tournament than he did last year (by his lofty standards), and even put over some House of Torture matches for a change on this network. They also discuss some more great Taichi matches as he continues to be the absolute MVP of the tournament, and some more good performances from Tanahashi on his retirement show. A fun show as tournament season rolls on!Following Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Adam's Paternity Leave continues, so why not go undercover again? Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.Today's SVU episode ("Hothouse" S10E12) takes some fairly wild turns between drifting bodies, Ukrainian prostitution rings, elite prep schools, and the New Jersey justice system, but somehow Josh and Adam take it even further. We discuss tide charts, the identity of "the rich man's Bryan Brown," the concept of Zugzwang, and the fate of Imre Nagy among many, MANY, other things.Sources:49 Beverly ParkErowid Modafinil Provigil pageMusic:Divorcio Suave - "Munchy Business"Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, Nourhane B, Erin M, Florina C, Melissa H, and Olivia - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

He has been associated with the Ni Family Traditional practices since 1989, and travels each year to study with the family to advance his own practice.

Send us a textWhat if your next step to healing was as simple as breathing, spiraling, and sipping tea?In this solo episode, I explore the subtle yet powerful ways Tai Chi supports the body from the inside out—enhancing circulation, improving bone density, and activating bone marrow washing, a process that deeply renews your blood and cellular vitality.

Send us a textDaoist teacher and Qigong veteran Sifu Boggie (Paul Brighton) explores how ancient Taoist practices like Tai Chi and Qigong, validated by modern insights from quantum physics and epigenetics, can support healing, emotional resilience, and personal sovereignty. Drawing from 40+ years of experience, he emphasizes that energy is not mystical—it's matter and intention made lucid through breath, grounded movement, and subtle consciousness. Notable highlights include: his work with bullied children using energetic medicine; his playful yet profound interaction with "dragon energy"; stories from his barefoot-doctor lineage; and practical tools for calming anxiety, releasing stagnation, and expanding awareness. Listeners will come away inspired to view their bodies as conduits for universal energy and empowered to bridge old wisdom into modern healing.Resources:www.SoulAwakeningStore.comwww.claudiumurgan.comclaudiu@claudiumurgan.comhttps://spirituallyinspired.buzzsprout.comSubscribe for more videos! youtube.com/channel/UC6RlLkzUK_LdyRSV7DE6obQSupport the show

John is joined by returning guest Devin (@MoreThanMeatJoy on Twitter) for yet another show packed full of a busy week's worth of Japanese wrestling action! They open things up with a quick preview of STARDOM's major 7/21 Sapporo event as well as their 7/24 Korakuen later in the week, before staying in the Bushiroad Extended Universe as they break down the opening two nights of the NJPW G1 Climax in detail (also from Sapporo!). There's plenty to talk about of course: major injuries, Taichi being amazing, Ren Narita looking good again and a whole lot more. This is followed by a look ahead at all of the upcoming G1 shows in the next week.Then they turn their attention to a packed week for Korakuen Hall shows, which they cover in chronological order: first, a Marigold show with a much-debated and very long double title match main event. Then they head over to All Japan to discuss the start of their junior tournament (lots of tournaments going on right now!), plus a tag title match (and also briefly look ahead to their own 7/21 show in Osaka as well as the Oudou Tournament in August). Next up, it's Sendai Girls to discuss a great Korakuen show of their own featuring yet more suffering for us Mika Iwata fans. And finally, they wrap things up with two very eventual shows from Pro Wrestling NOAH, featuring not one but two title changes, a surprise appearance from an outside guest, an announced excursion and more!

Patrick opens with stories from listeners in the trades, questioning if hands-on jobs like garbage collection and machining could outlast the AI boom, all while sprinkling in sharp humor about robot insurance and future-proof careers. He tackles Catholic faith topics head-on, from unpacking the nature of God’s love, to candidly weighing the pros and cons of attending Society of St. Pius X Masses, laying out the deep tensions between tradition and Church unity. In a personal turn, Patrick reflects on raising eleven children, offering raw, practical encouragement about family life and sacrifice, before fielding questions both philosophical and delightfully mundane. Jorge – A.I. will not be taking the garbage jobs (00:41) Rosie - What do you think about the Neo Catechumenal Way? (02:30) Email – Are there any good Star Trek series anymore? (04:05) Brother John - I don't think God loves us unconditionally, I think there are conditions for God's love. (06:00) Stuart - I teach Tai Chi and there is nothing wrong with it. There is no spiritual aspect to it. There are branches that are more spiritual but don't have to be. (10:39) Ken - I am a machinist and wanted to talk about working in a trade. The threat in my field is 3D printing. (17:39) Theresa - Are we allowed to go to the SSPX mass? (23:28) Richard - You still need human beings to fix AI. (35:08) Thomas - How did you and Nancy parent so many children? (39:29) Matt - Does God love everyone equally or does he love some more than others? (48:32)

Anxiety doesn't always scream—it simmers. It steals focus, hijacks your body, and leaves you wired and worn out. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Jeff Patterson to talk about what it means to actually live with stress—and how you can meet it differently, without burning out.Jeff shares his own path into meditation and Tai Chi, a journey that led him to create the Yielding Method: a practice that invites you to stop bracing and start softening—physically, mentally, emotionally. This isn't about retreating from life; it's about learning how to face it without clenching every muscle and thought along the way.They talk about how anxiety and chronic pain feed off each other, how stillness isn't laziness, and why meditation doesn't need to be perfect—it just needs to be practiced. From tiny daily rituals to full-body awareness, Jeff and Lyndsay break down the real-life tools that help people stop resisting what is and start creating space for what could be.Tune in if your nervous system feels like it's on overdrive and you're ready to breathe again—on purpose.Find Jeff Patterson Online Here:Website: theyieldingwarrior.comInstagram: @theyieldingwarriorFacebook: TaiChi YieldingLinkedIn: Jeff PattersonTikTok: @theyieldingwarriorBook: The Yielding WarriorFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(01:47) The Journey into Meditation(09:29) Understanding the Yielding Warrior Method(16:27) The Power of Consistency in Practice(21:29) Overcoming Barriers to Meditation

What if your body is holding on to pain you don't even remember?In this powerful episode of unLimited, I sit down with legendary Taoist master Mantak Chia to explore how ancient wisdom and energy practices like Tai Chi, Taoism, breathwork, and yin-yang balance can help us unlock and release stored trauma.We talk about:

Corey & Fred close out Jet Li July with a focus on two more of the legend's franchises: THE LEGEND and THE TAI-CHI MASTER.   TOPICS INCLUDE: *Which entry has Jet Li only in the first part? *Does Michelle Yeoh steal the show (like always)? *Is Fong Sai Yuk one of Jet's better roles or just passable? *And which one had a horrendously unnecessary sequel?        

In this episode Randel and Owen talk with Kung Fu Coach and Teacher Abi Moriya about training in Taiwan in the 80's, Tang Sho Tao, Acupuncture and Hong Yi Xiang.Form his Web Site: "Martial artist, movement and Chinese medicine.

When faced with the devastating news of his wife's cancer diagnosis, Tony Stewart's world imploded. "It was just sort of mind-blowing, earth-shaking, the end of life as we had known it together," he shares with raw honesty. That fateful phone call launched Tony and his wife Lynn into a five-year journey that would transform their understanding of love, fear, and what it means to truly live.The memoir's beautiful title "Carrying the Tiger" emerged from a friend's Tai Chi practice—the ritual of symbolically lifting your fear (the tiger) and placing it on a distant hilltop where it seems less threatening. This powerful metaphor became their touchstone as they navigated the complex medical landscape while simultaneously trying to appreciate each precious moment they still had together.What makes Tony's story exceptional isn't just his vulnerability in sharing the medical odyssey, but his willingness to discuss the uncomfortable truths of caregiving. He candidly reveals moments of breakdown when exhaustion overwhelmed him, the complicated feelings that arose during Lynn's decline, and the guilt he experienced when finding new love shortly after her death. "I had thoughts that made me ashamed," he admits, normalizing the complex emotional landscape that caregivers often navigate silently.Perhaps most remarkable is Tony's discovery that even in profound grief, joy remains possible. The hospice period, which lasted just two weeks, became paradoxically "the two most beautiful weeks" of his life—filled with deep connection, meaningful conversations about mortality, and the privilege of caring for someone he deeply loved. This counterintuitive finding—that beauty can coexist with heartbreak—offers hope to anyone facing loss.Now studying to become a certified grief educator, Tony emphasizes the deeply personal nature of grieving: "Everyone grieves in their own way, at their own time and speed." His journey from devastated spouse to someone who can embrace new love while still honoring Lynn's memory demonstrates that moving forward isn't abandoning the past but carrying it with you as you create a new future.Listen now to be inspired by this transformative story of resilience, love that transcends death, and the possibility of finding joy even in life's darkest moments. Then explore Tony's book "Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy While Grieving," available wherever books are sold.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

Jeff Patterson has been practicing martial arts for 36 years. He has trained with masters from seven countries and has achieved a black belt equivalency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Muay Thai, Kenpō, Tai Chi, and Qigong. Patterson believes in the power of meditative arts to enhance life experiences. Why Meditation for Educational Leaders? Educational leaders are in high-stress, high-visibility positions. Meditation can help reduce stress and prevent burnout, enabling leaders to have longevity in their careers. Meditation is practiced by high-performing athletes in other fields, such as boxing and basketball, to improve performance. Jeff Patterson's "Five Regulations" of Meditation: Regulating the body: Paying attention to skeletal alignment, muscle tension, and movement. This includes maintaining muscle structure and flexibility, consuming healthy nutrients, and getting adequate sleep. Regulating the breath: There are hundreds of breathing strategies, which can be categorized as yin (deeper, inward energy) or yang (aggressive, outward energy). Yin breathing involves longer inhales and shorter exhales. Yang breathing may involve tension in the breath and audible exhales. Regulating the mind: Meditation does not require a quiet mind, as distractions are normal. Meditation involves recognizing distractions and using posture, breath, and movement to regain focus. Regulating the energy: Once the body, breath, and mind are regulated, one can learn to direct energy inward, outward, or circulate it to achieve different outcomes in meditation. Regulating the spirit: This is a profound concept toward which meditation masters work their entire lives. Benefits of Meditation: Increased focus and productivity Enhanced emotional regulation Improved communication skills and the ability to "yield" Physical yielding: Getting out of the way of a force to respond with less effort. Requires being well rooted, having a strong and flexible lower body, a relaxed body, calm breath, and a present mind. Mental yielding: Recognizing imbalances in a conversation and adjusting the conversation to lead it to a harmonious place. Emotional yielding: Stepping back from interpersonal conflicts to make a more educated decision. Integrating Meditation into a Busy Schedule: Ritual Practice: A dedicated time, such as 20 minutes per day, to meditate without distractions. Active Practices: Integrating practices throughout the day, even for as little as 60 seconds. Philosophical Practices: Integrating the philosophy of meditation into active and ritual practices. Jeff Patterson's Three Considerations for Starting a Meditation Practice: Motivation: Identify your motivation for wanting to meditate. Consider how your life will change if you accomplish your meditation goals. Consistency: Practice consistently to reap the benefits of meditation. Consistency develops discipline, integrity, and patience. Guidance: Find a guide to save time and improve your practice. Resources: Website: theyieldingwarrior.com Free Book: theyieldingwarrior.com/book Social Media: Search "The Yielding Warrior" on social media channels Call to Action: Consider how meditation could benefit you and commit to practicing it regularly.

My Own Career Change Story and the Messy Middle.Today I want to share more of the behind the scenes, where I am at with my own career and the messy middle of it. In my 20s, I used to think once I have 10+ years of experience in something, then I will have made it. Can you relate? I thought, once I have 10 years of experience in a field on my resume, I will be legitimate, I'll be an expert, I will feel settled, established, and secure. But it's interesting how life doesn't alway work this way! And that it's much closer to being and feeling like an ongoing process of reestablishing and reinvention of yourself vs reaching a finish line of sorts. Perhaps some people feel that way or at least from the outside it might seem like that, but it's probably not the true way they feel on the inside either. Perhaps the ones who are closer to retirement might feel like now they have reached that state of completion, but I bet even they feel like they're still in the process. I think the appearance of having it figured out is a deceptive one, but the idea is still alluring and attractive. Something that as I think about it is most likely a seducing idea or aspiration, and not necessarily reality. It's similar to longing for the moment when you'll be able to put your feet up on the ottoman by your couch and watch a movie or simply do nothing because you've cleaned the house and everything else is done. But those moments rarely arrive and even when they do , they are short! And my mind is constantly telling me that more needs to be done, the next thing needs to be taken care of and tended to, planned, etc. It's like this never ending motor, push and need to do more.  Can you relate?:)So back to the podcast about my own story and the messy middle that I feel like I'm in right now. Right in the smack dab middle of it and that is one of the reasons why I've shied away from sharing too much about it. Because I don't have a perfectly laid out script and I don't know how it all will come together, and that feels vulnerable and uncomfortable. It would be much easier to wait till it's perfectly packaged with a happy ending that I can share.You'll hear about the recruitment career that I started in my twenties and I built over the next 15 years in a seemingly up and up trajectory, and how it came to a halt. You'll hear about the overwhelm, stress, and longings I had along the way, how I started taking steps to explore my interests, personality and strengths further to inform and find my own puzzle pieces so I can take my own advice and the advice of the podcast guests to keep architecting work and life that is energizing to me, that is mine. Not someone else's but mine. And I will say it isn't for the faint of heart and it isn't easy. At least not in my experience. You'll hear about my journey to podcasting, coaching and also how I arrived at learning more about and getting certified to teach Tai Chi. So seemingly unrelated pieces, but they each have their own meaning and bring aspects of tremendous fulfillment as well as development for me. They align with my core values, incorporate my passions and interests, are deeply self motivating and satisfy my own hunger and yearning for more meaning, satisfaction, connection, knowledge, and health. Each of these aspects have come into being in their own magical way, hence I wanted to share the story.Even though I don't know how it'll all come together at the end, I definitely know that I've discovered parts that I'll keep as I continue to build my own career and life in technicolor. I know that I've gone for things I felt curiosity and desire to explore and that I'll keep chasing my own purpose and further answers.How about you? Where are you in your work and career journey, what is weighing on your mind right now that you'd lSupport the show

In a recent email to Retirement Talk, John from McLean, Virginia wondered if I could talk a bit about Tai Chi. He exercises regularly, is close to retirement age and feel a bit tense at his work. He wanted to know if I thought Tai Chi might be worked into a routine that might help him.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Jorge Olson—author, marketer, and entrepreneur who has launched over 1,000 consumer products and helped take five companies public. But today's conversation isn't about profit margins—it's about mental stamina, healing through Tai Chi, and redefining success after trauma. Jorge shares his journey from growing up in poverty in Tijuana to surviving multiple traumatic brain injuries and discovering how breathwork, meditation, and time control became his ultimate assets. A powerful listen for anyone juggling ambition with burnout. About the Guest:Jorge Olson is a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of Marketing Karma and Build Your Beverage Empire, and a creative force in branding, writing, and product innovation. He's raised over $100 million in capital and is a board member for an AI company. But Jorge's true mastery lies in integrating mindfulness and purpose into business—especially after facing chronic pain and neurological challenges from brain injuries. His story embodies resilience, reinvention, and radical self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Tai Chi isn't just graceful—it's mentally demanding and creatively empowering. Brain injuries shifted Jorge's approach from hustle to healing, turning meditation into necessity. Energy management is crucial; Jorge avoids distractions like emails and calls to protect his creative state. Success without sanity is meaningless—true wealth is measured in time, not money. Building 5-year funnels and engaging in passion-led work can create sustainable impact. Connect with Jorge Olson:Visit jorgeolson.com to explore his books, insights, and newsletter.

It started as an April Fool's joke and then morphed into a BEAST of a book complete with 967 illustrations called "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the Ultimate Illustrated Guidebook".  In episode 424 I chat with renowned BJJ black belt, illustrator and designer Seymour Yang (better known as Meerkatsu) and his partner in crime Graham Barlow (the creator of the Tai Chi Notebook) about the core techniques of BJJ, modern vs traditional jiu-jitsu, and the process of bringing a new book into the world. Check out the book here: https://www.meerkatsu.com/product/brazilian-jiu-jitsu-the-ultimate-illustrated-guidebook/ Cheers, Stephan P.S. And while we're on the topic of books check out Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic.  While this isn't a BJJ book specifically, it does contain many of the lessons I learned about endurance, perseverance, and grit on the toughest expedition of my life.   Available on Amazon or wherever books are sold: https://www.amazon.com/Perseverance-Death-Subarctic-Stephan-Kesting/dp/1639368612/
