Alex is a dynamic teacher and has a wonderful capacity to speak to the inner experience of each student. His easy, joyful nature is expressed as much through his words as it is through his graceful, fluid, and relaxed movements. For students of any tradition, he is an excellent example of the attainment of inner and outer peace through martial discipline. To paraphrase Alex, “The fist represents a simulated threat and provides us with the opportunity to observe ourselves and our fears, and we see a map of those tensions in the body. Sustained observation allows for the emergence of relaxation, and a movement away from anxiety and fear toward confidence and joyful play in all of our life movements.” We highly recommend this seminar to both the experienced and the beginner!
