💥I had a blast giving a lecture on "The Hero Within" chapter from my newest book "Back To The Roots" on Saturday to give people an idea of my book at @mindbodyspiritcyprus°I'm grateful that majority of the audience were women because the warrior and hero archetypes are usually associated with men but I showcased to the participants that women can walk the warrior's path and be heroines in their lives as well♀️°Most of them understood that even exercising or taking yoga classes makes them walk this path already and my message resonated with them. As a result, passing through my table to have more insightful discussions and get the book📙°Special thanks to my Shifu @lindsey12wei for the "Washing the red dust" symbolism (picture 6). It added depth to the martial virtues and cultivation of inner qualities I wanted to elaborate on🔴°Lastly, many people wanted to attend the lecture but couldn't make it. So, this will be the first of the video lectures I'll start posting on my YouTube channel. Subscribe there to stay up to date because more are coming soon.

💥I had a blast giving a lecture on "The Hero Within" chapter from my newest book "Back To The Roots" on Saturday to give people an idea of my book at @mindbodyspiritcyprus

I'm grateful that majority of the audience were women because the warrior and hero archetypes are usually associated with men but I showcased to the participants that women can walk the warrior's path and be heroines in their lives as well♀️

Most of them understood that even exercising or taking yoga classes makes them walk this path already and my message resonated with them. As a result, passing through my table to have more insightful discussions and get the book📙

Special thanks to my Shifu @lindsey12wei for the "Washing the red dust" symbolism (picture 6). It added depth to the martial virtues and cultivation of inner qualities I wanted to elaborate on🔴

Lastly, many people wanted to attend the lecture but couldn't make it. So, this will be the first of the video lectures I'll start posting on my YouTube channel. Subscribe there to stay up to date because more are coming soon. Link is in the bio🔗

Before the covid period I had the pleasure to be personally trained by a World Wushu Champion. Shifu @shaoluamaltezou taught me the athleticism of Wushu Acrobatics, the fighting of Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing) and Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling), the grappling of Animal Movements and the Jian Taolu (Straight Sword Form)🐉
