He\u2019s also spent a lot of time training in the realm of movement culture, both with Ido Portal and our good friends over at Fighting Monkey.\n\nHaving such a similar breadth of experience that also initially stemmed from a deep love for parkour, we were really excited to have him join us. During this chat we\u2019ll dive into how his training and philosophy has evolved over the years, the powerful influences of injury, culture, language, and intention, and the importance of adaptability in both how we move, and how we approach problems in our lives. \n\nI really enjoyed having Masa on the show, if you also enjoyed this conversation and would like to support the channel, be sure to share, leave a like, comment, and subscribe if you haven\u2019t.\n\n\nTIMESTAMPS\n00:00 \u2013 Masa Intro\n00:37 - Workshop Ad \n1:36 - Masa\u2019s Beginnings\n13:02 - Breaking the Jump with Community\n16:59 - Masa Leaves Japan\n21:27 - Dance, Rhythmicality, Musicality\n25:21 - Ninjitsu\n30:13 - Being in the States, Competition\n34:58 - Seattle Parkour Spots, Organic & Inorganic Environments\n45:27 - Overwork, Injury & Movement Practice\n59:58 - Movement Culture\n01:07:06 - Goal Setting and Meaning in Life\n01:16:23 - Differentiating Movement & Parkour\n01:25:00 - Truth and Knowing\n01:30:06 - The Importance of Language\n01:37:32 - Chi\n01:45:35 - Fighting Monkey, Ecological Dynamics & Adaptive Movement\n01:52:46 - Masa\u2019s Training Week\n01:57:54 - Dance and Martial Arts\n\n\nEMP | Visit Us Online\n- EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com\n- IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ \n- FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement\n- Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley\n- YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1\n- Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley\n\nMASA SUZUKI\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/pkmasa/\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/shinobi_mover/
