#59: TW Smith Interview [Podcast]

Welcome to Episode #59 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast. In this episode, I catch up with Sifu TW Smith, owner of TW Smith’s Martial Arts Center and the host of one of my favorite martial arts programs, Kung Fu Podcasts. Ando and Sifu TW Smith I can’t believe it took me so long to finally sit down with Sifu Tim! You may remember that I visited his school in Raleigh, NC back in 2016. That’s when we made this video… Kung Fu Arm Bar Escape But that was just the tip of the iceberg. It was Sifu Tim’s school that blew me away! Honestly, I didn’t know a traditional, “old-school” martial arts academy like Sifu Tim’s ever really existed… or COULD exist! It was like walking into a dream. In the “Blue Room” Join me as I take you on a tour of Sifu TW Smith’s school and introduce you one of the most passionate martial artists I know. Some highlights from our chat— “I can’t die.” Inconveniences, not barriers Lessons at the dinner table Meditation as mortar Authenticity and consistency Direction, not goals Clean your soul, clean your dishes. NOTE: During our chat, I mention an article from the New York Times. For the full text, follow this link: Exit the Dragon? Kung Fu Is Waning. Okay! Get ready to be inspired!
