Les croyances dans le sport 2/6, avec Willy Mangin — SHOCKING #30

Chapter 2: Spirituality and Pragmatism. Today, we delve into the spiritual dimension of Asian martial arts: vital energy, meridians, aura, and so on. We attempt to understand the philosophies that underpin the moral codes and rituals of these sports, avoiding the oversimplifications so easily made when viewed from a Western perspective. And I had to ask the question: can one practice tai chi seriously without believing in Qi? I also ask my guest about his preferred way to teach a sport to amateurs and train athletes for competition, regardless of the discipline. @willymangin3650 SUPPORT To keep Méta de Choc going, you can donate on: Tipeee: http://bit.ly/3e5abBb PayPal: https://bit.ly/3rnObFH (minimum donation of €10 to avoid PayPal's exorbitant fees) LiberaPay: https://bit.ly/2WH4Lpt RESOURCES Find many resources on the Méta de Choc website: https://metadechoc.fr/podcast/les-cro...
