My wife, Kathleen Harris-Callos, made me sit down and watch this video of Amy Cuddy talking about body language and the brain/bodys chemistry ---and it is, I think, a must see for all practitioners --especially those of you/us who practice / enjoy / and teach traditional or contemporary kata / forms. Kata, regardless of the style, is pretty much all about big power moves, arms outstretched, wide stance, etc. ----and if this kind of physical movement so dramatically affects our chemistry as she describes, then, well…bonus. Its also a damn fine reason to justify the practice of kata --and to appreciate it for the pure physicality of it. Id like every young teacher of traditional / contemporary martial arts to understand what shes saying / describing --and be able to explain it to the young (and not so young) people they teach.
