Ben is a powerhouse when it comes to the art of movement and martial arts.

The practice puts you into engaging in a series of slow, controlled movements to help aid in building your brain's plasticity to improve the coordination of your arms, legs, and spine through a form of method methodology called your five lines. Shownotes:[4:55] We discuss Ben's multi-cultural upbringing being raised in a family constantly on the move due to his father's profession as a war photographer. [7:50] Learning multiple languages was a direct byproduct of being influenced through his parent's roots and their eclectic way of life. [10:53] Ben discusses his thoughts on how he views language learning in the classroom versus being in the environment that speaks the language. [11:29] How does the art of language connect to the art of movement (Feldenkrais Method and martial arts) [15:09] We uncover why Systema is a martial arts form that is vastly different from the other types of martial arts and fighting style. [24:47] Ben goes into depth on how the Feldenkrais method helps beyond children with cerebral palsy as well as patients with schizophrenia. [29:06] We discuss the four states of being: Survival, Contemplation. Playfulness, Celebration [30:47] Why go into detail what it means to be a society afraid of touch and how removing physicality from schools harms more than benefits. [39:03] Ben ruminates on why him and his role models are in survival state more often than not.
