In this episode, we delve into the world of Zen Buddhist martial arts, Shin Gumdo. Two accomplished practitioners, Andrew and James, share their experiences and insights, particularly focusing on the role of intuition in their practice.
They discuss their journey to South Korea to explore the roots of their late master, Changsu Kim. This pilgrimage required a series of intuitive decisions, from planning their trip to navigating unexpected challenges.
The conversation explores different facets of intuition in martial arts: the split-second decisions required during practice, the deeper, contemplative insights gained through meditation, and the intuitive sense of when a student is ready for more instruction.
By sharing their personal experiences and reflections, Andrew and James offer a unique perspective on the intersection of martial arts, Zen Buddhism, and intuition.
