I have not trained in martial arts since I was a preteen. However, I believe that the insight that was shared in this podcast is profoundly transferable to anyone who takes their profession and field of study seriously. I appreciated right in the beginning it was stated that the discussion was not about tearing down any individual or their achievements and it wasn't labeled as such for click bait. I respect the fact Sensi White (master marital artist and a professional actor) was only a point reference 👍🏾. The more important focus was on the purposeful usage of the art in its proper context. The analogies that Sensi Randy B. Haskins used were very insightful. He is a top tier professional at explaining and teaching the science behind his craft. His stated phrase "the context will determine the concept" put everything in perspective for me. His analysis regarding acquiring tools (techniques) and having a variety of various tools (skills) and being useless was major. He drove home the point of proper application of the arts when he discussed the fact that high level practitioners bodies have been destroyed from improper usage of techniques. That emphasized the importance of understanding and knowledge of your body. Which related to me as being intelligent and competent in your profession and craft. I appreciated the question regarding students with certain injuries/mobility issues. That was a very important question because people may have certain limitations. And the answer is one I especially appreciated because it dealt with with a critical core value that i truly believe in which is integrity. "This is not for everybody" it's not about the money. There is physical loyalty, respectability, and honesty. I also appreciated the Olympics analogy in regards to preparing for tournaments.
