    Listened to this during my Thanksgiving Morning workout (a vain attempt to stave off the effects of too much food later today). I love it that you applied Arthur C. Clarke’s quote to the martial arts. It is so true! I am a karateka and recently attended a one-off Judo seminar at a friend’s karate dojo. Yes, it looked like “magic,” but – like you said – more accurately it was “magical.” Likewise, “magical” when I received a little refinement to a very basic technique that I’ve thrown thousands of times since Day One. Suddenly that technique worked against someone who was resisting me and challenging me in ways that I’d never encountered before. Thanks so much for articulating these things and going deeper into the martial arts mindset.

      Hi Jo! Working out on Thanksgiving morning… you rock! 😀

      Yes, I read your report on the Judo seminar… the more you learn, the less you know, if you know what I mean. It all starts to overlap and simplify, I find. That’s when the magic appears. Keep up the good work!
