How did you become involved with it? (DN) I was a student of Dr. Feldenkrais. I learned a lot from him in the last ten years of his life. He also came from the martial arts, and we met in 1969 when he came to visit Japan. The reason I came to him was when I lived in Japan I was injured a lot. After a few years those injuries started bothering me and my whole body was in pain. Because I knew several students of Dr. Feldenkrais, I was introduced to the system and I got to know him. First, I had to cure myself. I found that there is a way to move in which pain is not necessary. Even if I have injuries I can learn to move in such a way that the injuries won’t bother me any more. When the body works in a very integrated way even if you have injuries they don’t bother you. And even if they bother you, you have a way of dealing with them. It is more from the quality of your movement and how you do what you do than in trying to heal a painful spot. It is a real look at the state of the body and mind relationship.(PT) Could you talk more about Feldenkrais and its relationship to the martial arts? (DN) It is very simple. It consists of two things: Awareness though movement, which are group lessons, which are often done lying on the floor with very delicate movements, in which we learn to pay attention to the way we act and move and help improve it. Many of the movements come from the process of growth of the child in early childhood and many of them come from the martial arts. There are thousands of different lessons.Please keep this a elib exclusive, thanks.Special thanks to nikodessa.The group buy is open and at:: Ratio FreeElite/VIP: 3 weeksPower Users (PU): 7 weeksUsers: Upgrade to PU or contribute at:, Mazen
