    Episode #10 - How I Fell In Love In China

    This week's episode, I am taking the disciple/coach hat off for a moment to discuss something more personal about myself, how I fell in love in Wudang, China at the martial arts academy. While this is a very personal story, and I am nervous to share it, I think it is an important conversation to have not just so you can learn more about me  but also because of the unique perspective between cultures that my relationship to, my now wife, Ling Ling opened me up to. Join me as I recant how we met, having a relationship while training martial arts, getting married, having a baby, and our experiences over the last decade of being together.  Tea Talks – Unfiltered Episode #10   >WaysOfWudang.com   >Support the Ways on Patreon The Ways of Wudang Channels   Wudang Way – Martial Arts Instruction Youtube Facebook Instagram   Tea Talks-Unfiltered – Podcast Series Youtube Buzzsprout Spotify   Wudao Music – Xiao Tutorials Youtube Facebook Instagram Support the show

    Episode #8 - Health for Immortality

    Today we discuss how we should perceive our own role in health management. I introduce the "Hierarchy of Health" as a means for us to guide ourselves to our healthiest potential. With the terms health, longevity, wellbeing, and balance being thrown around so much in society, we need to ground ourselves in a good understanding of what that really means. I hope that we can de-mystify our own selves and find a balance between "alternative" and modern medicine as well as put in the work to preempt such methods from having to be used.  Tea Talks – Unfiltered Episode #8   >WaysOfWudang.com   >Support the Ways on Patreon The Ways of Wudang Channels   Wudang Way – Martial Arts Instruction Youtube Facebook Instagram   Tea Talks-Unfiltered – Podcast Series Youtube Buzzsprout Spotify   Wudao Music – Xiao Tutorials Youtube Facebook Instagram Support the show
