this is the most beautiful video I have seen on TH-cam. You are truly inspirational ....I remember when my brother and I were younger we had dreams of becoming ninjas and we would spar often with each...we trained like crazy.. inspired by dragon ball and Jackie Chan....however our dream died when our parents weren't able to afford martial art classes for us. But after seeing this...I think you brought the dream back to life
I just got goosebumps reading this.. thank you, that's such an amazing thing to say. If there's anything I can do to help, or if you ever find yourselves in Oxfordshire, UK, hit me up.
@@DarkstreamLIVES Mr Zhang I started learning martial arts after watching your demonstration in master wong video.. You have some magic you can change the people easily
@@shivakumar-kh3yp wow, I'm so happy to hear that! I will be seeing my friend, Master Wong very soon, so we'll do some more stuffs! All the best with your training 😁👊💪
You're a fascinating - and inspirational - person. I like that you practice physical, mental and emotional health. You're very well spoken. I worry that the fist conditioning might one day hurt your piano playing. You're admirable to me, because you're lethal, but gentle. Intelligent but very dangerous. Like I heard the Gracie brothers saying: "you learn how to fight, so you don't need to fight". That confidence with ability, but self control and discipline. I appreciated your comment of: "if you feel depression, you're living in the past; if you feel anxiety, you're living in the future". Best wishes to you.
Craig Nevermind real kind of you to say! I think it's important to practice all areas of wellbeing as well as martial arts (as opposed to 'partial' arts). Definitely agree with that sentiment; some of the best martial artists are the ones who never have to fight and always have a way avoid them; never needing to use their skills, but having them in worst case scenarios. People worry about practicing acts of violence when in fact, the focus should be more on the results of survival. As for my conditioning, it's all a balancing act so that I can still hit hard and play piano (and type on a keyboard!) 😊
DarkstreamLIVES sheeeesh goddayum you are unreal .... i started marshal arts a while ago and i‘m tapping into meditation ... also playin‘ piano .... well none of those close to your prestige just started to study mechatronics ... down here in munich but maaaan ... i have a waaaay to go at least tell me your a bad dancer or somethin😅 i know enough to see how fucking amazing you are put together to the fullest, sir ... but holy koala you see i always thought to myself why arent there any people who are fit, have amazing body controll, flexibility and speed and have a wide array of highly trained skills from weapon wielding to instrument playing ...etc. who also are mentally on all levels some where at the top of all people who have the same chances in western countries hell dude i came to the same conclusions as you seem to have gotten to ... about how i wanna orient myself a freakin phd ontop of that in what ? thank you for showing whats possible thank you dude people wonder about their upper mental and physical limit ... seein you still striving for that... makes me greatfull to be alive sry for bad english i do read english books and actually use english to think rather than german ... buut hip hop got me into english ... soooo under the influence i might say (eminem reference)
DarkstreamLIVES well survival of the fittest only the strong survive ... i dont think so you might say that not being the case is actually causing this mess of humanity cuzzz bein weak is not a problem cuuuuz
Ich ficke Alphabet wow thanks for the kind words; real nice of you to say! I agree that it's not survival of the fittest, but rather Survival of the ones that care the most. Through strength and care, others can survive too. That's one of the reasons why I started teaching. Don't compare yourself to anyone else either; they are running a different race to you. Keep at the martial arts; it takes years and tears, you'll never learn it all, you can only do the best in the time you have but it's worth it! Heart and positive attitude will put you in the right direction. The student wants to be the master but the master knows he himself will always be the student 😀 Ps. I can't ice skate!!
DarkstreamLIVES this vid was soo cool. Your power and balanced mind set for life has earned my utmost respect. Your video has motivated me to move out of my depression, and to do my very best to focus on my fitness, my guitar playing, and my school work. I strive to better myself, have self discipline, and inner peace, just like you. Once again thanks for the vid
I am so glad to have found this channel. The lesson about depression, anxiety, and living in the present was really powerful. I’m middle aged and have been feel very hopeless about staying in shape. This video is inspiring me to rethink my purpose behind striving for fitness and let the joy of being in the present be the motivation to stay active, rather than allowing guilt/shame/hopelessness to stop me from even trying.
@@DarkstreamLIVES Ah, that makes sense lol. You seem like an incredible human being! Really well done for making your life truly worth living each and every day!
I can't understand that why your channel which is so valuable than others is not known by everyone.... may be it's true not everyone can truly define diamonds than coals..
Big fan here! THE BEST MESSAGE SO FAR. I WILL WATCH THIS CLIP EVERYDAY till I get this message clear in my head. no plans to be a Ninja here. But a message for everyone. Glad to received it.
Thank you. Yes I was thinking of being a Ninja at the same time I was typing that I have no plans to be one. I don't know where my path will going to lead me, I realized and believed that I need to have self control/discipline, handling situation is important, awareness and training, and i agree in you bout always do the right things, and in my life, to have a good better life must start with in to have control to win over the greatest enemy anyone could face, their own self. I will have meaning and direction in my life after I wil have the training with you. For now that is my direction and my goal. In good faith and intention. You are the best. And I bow to you and want learn what you've learned.
Ahhh thank you so much!! For me, it doesn't matter if it doesn't reach a lot of people, but for those that it does, it's more important for me that it touches them 😊
I appreciate your attiude towards the varied styles of martial arts, it is refreshing. It is great to see masters who are open to expanding their knowledge of the martial arts and learning how to use different techniques.
Christian Ivan Vincent Skinner ahhh thank you so much! Martial arts is a journey and we're all students, still scratching the surface. There's plenty we can learn from each other 😊
The world needs your teaching understanding and knowledge.... you are an inspirational man.... I have watched this video so many times I love it.... have you seen Philip sahagun never bring me down?
can't help but idolise this guy.....recently discovered him with master wong and i'm obsessed.....his talent and humble likeable ways make him a legend in my eyes.......keep it going dr jon
I just watched you in Brother’s Sun, I knew you were special- that was badass acting but your fight scene skills seemed so legit and this video explained why 🔥
I see a lot of me in u, how u think an feel about life ,I just wish when it's all said an done I could be half the martial art u r ,but more spirit an mental then anything,both u an master Wong give me hope that I too have time enough to inspire others.
That's a really kind thing to say, wow! I'd always put yourself first; it's like, you can only give money if you have money. You can only truly give yourself if you first have yourself (mentally, physically and spiritually). Then you can choose where and how to invest your time and energy. It's a lifestyle; you'll be inspiring others along the way too. If you inspire even one person, it'll all be worth it 🙏
Didn't know you had your own channel i recognised you straight away from Master Wong's channel. You Sir put Art into the Martial Arts, not only do you speak beautifully and defend yourself beautifully but you play music exceptionally beautifully too. Very talented man glad i found your channel.
Meditation saved my life. I love your analogy between martial arts and music. This entire video is elegant, eloquent and captivating. I find you to be a very intriguing individual.
Michelle The Security Guard thank you, that's a really kind thing to say! I'm real happy to hear that meditation has had such a profound effect on your life 😊 Huge respect to you
You inspire me a bigger person to pursue health, train hard, and appreciate Chinese culture. I love anything Chinese as seen clearly since I am a happily married man to a Chinese born woman and have just adopted her son as mine, your culture, her culture, his culture makes me appreciate it that much more. Kung-fu is beautiful, calming, and aesthetically pleasing. Thank you for this beautiful video, you are truly something I aspire to be and will train to be.
Reading that really warms my heart; amazing that you've taken to the Chinese way of life, culturally and philosophically. To me, you're a real winner 🙏 thank you so much for taking the time to comment, it means a lot! 😊
This is truly incredible. I've found myself coming back to this video multiple times over the past week and I feel like you have opened my eyes to how martial arts and meditation can turn somebody into a super cool and mindful dude such as yourself. Thank you for the wonderfully put together video. Educational and inspirational on many levels!
I've just seen this! Apologies for my late reply, thank you so much :-) I'd love to do a follow up, though I'd have to get the old team together to do it! :-)
Your reference to anxiety and depression, as a carrier of those ailments, was much appreciated. I may have just needed to hear those words so eloquently put. Thanks, you are an inspiration and a great help.
This is by far the most amazing martial arts video ive seen on youtube. I love that part when you said a real martial artist is righteous. And the part playing the piano, thats divine. Thank you for uploading this. Respect from Singapore Taichokun.
How have I not seen this yet mate :) It was relay beautiful, I love what you had to say and what stand for. It reminds me of what my old sensei would say to us when I was 15 :)
"A true martial artist is righteous". Words to live by, my friend. I did Tae Kwon Do for eight years and have been doing BJJ for about a year and a half, and my only regrets are not starting sooner. I wish I could come to Oxford and meet you, but unfortunately I live in the American midwest. So much of the "journey" is truly connected to the spiritual life... we fall, we get back up, we have to be humble and learn from our teachers, and we never stop pursuing truth and beauty. Hope to meet you someday.
I think DR John is underrated, I’m from England and if I’m in Oxfordshire I would love to train at your club, I’ve done karate for 4 years, and some boxing and ju-jitzu, DR John is fast as fuck for a big geezer, keep pushing yourself in movies and I think you could get a big hit!
I have to admit came here from Master but you are so inspiring, I've never watched a video so attentively. You have my subscription, even if it doesn't change much. Continue being great, you are filled with talent and I can't even begin to imagine all the hours of hard work you've spent.
Oh wow, thank you so much! 😊🙏 it doesn't matter if the videos don't reach a lot of people, so long as they touch the ones they have reached. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment! 😊
I know this video is 4 years old right now but I have to comment this: you are an amazing person and very talented human being! You’re intelligent, dangerous, calm, friendly, and overall a guy I would hang out with all day! After watching this you’re starting to become an inspiration to me. I do martial arts but I only do one style and I want to do more and after watching this video it REALLY makes me want to do more! It makes me want to train all day every day and work hard to become as good as I possibly can! You sir are an inspiration😎
Wow! What a kind message, I really appreciate that, thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you're so driven; be better than you were yesterday yet worse than you'll be tomorrow. Keep at it; it takes years and tears, but it's well worth it. I'm still a student myself on a similar path; I hope ours cross someday 😊🙏
DarkstreamLIVES I hope ours cross someday too!🙏 I’d absolutely love to train with you and even Master Wong and have you guys teach me more about martial arts because I know I still have a lot to learn! It’d be a dream come true!
This video is brilliant. As you are sir. I'm 34 and still find myself giving into anger or frustration, and ironically I am a student of martial arts as well. You have accomplished what I am still working towards. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. (Subscribed)
Thank you man. It's a marathon and not a sprint and it can take years and tears for us to get where we want to be. So long as you aim to be better than you were yesterday yet worse than you'll be tomorrow :-)
Such an inspiration to see what a self-disciplined person can achieve, obviously you are an example to look up to, your goal of become a better person in every way possible, mind, body, art, culture is truly admirable. Of course i have suscribed and i am sorry to not speak enough english to really express how much the way you live your life inspire me to better my self and try to follow your exemple. Thank you so much Dr. Jon for share your kind and strong soul. I really hope to see you more in youtube, tv, films or any path you decide to take. Ps. Your voice and the way you talk, gentle and smooth, truly make even more beautyfull the things about righteousness you said.
I have struggled with a lot of personal baggage and this video just changed my life. “A martial artist is righteous” I love it brother. You’re a role model and a figure to look up to and strive to be. You may have just altered my life’s path in a positive way. Thanks for the video, subscribed!
It's so good to hear what you are teaching. So many martial arts nowadays have lost the spiritual and moral aspects. I also teach the same message in my school I and I'm glad that I'm not alone in the world. In my area many instructors have said to me that the moral and and spiritual aspects of the martial arts are basically non-existent. It's refreshing to see your message and I would like share it on my School Facebook page. Your message needs heard.
Wow, thank you! :-) It assures and encourages me to know that there are likeminded people out there who do teach those neglected aspects. I'm honoured to have my video shared on your page also; thank you, my friend.
Came here from Master Wong. This is a fantastic video, I can imagine you are an inspiration to all your students and everyone you meet. Wish you all the best, subbed and look forward to seeing more from you. Take it easy.
I just can't imagine someone like you provoking and fighting like you said in you did in your younger days... but well done in finding yourself through meditation and the various creative outlets.... a truly multi-talented guy!
Ahhh thank you! Really appreciate that! About 10 years ago, I made a decision to be a better teacher than a fighter; better to help others than hurt them 😊🙏
Elvis Closs start with a couple minutes then work your way up. Best time to do it is when you feel like you don't have time, when it's stressful at your job for instance.
Is nice to see someone such as yourself Express what you have so humbly. Always had interest in martial arts ever since I can remember. Would enjoy greatly learning from someone such as yourself. Never really had the opportunity to be able to have any formal type training, only through books and what I've seen. Hopefully one day I'll find a venue to learn and Express in the company of someone such as yourself. Very inspirational... thank you...
I really appreciate that! The most important thing is that it helps to influence and inspire those who have watched it. I'd love to shoot a part 2 when Covid 'ends'!!
0:27 Amazing photography. 2:25 This is gold standard advice. 4:29 Fantastic striking. Creative. 4:30 he plays piano too. And his advice on anxiety was on point. This is #monk like material. 💯💥😉 4:49 We do have a few things in common. My choice of haircut, and goatee. Just saying. That’s smart money. 😂now I’m kidding. But I do. I have the same haircut and chin. 6:52 you hit it on the head. Humble. Not looking for it. Martial arts is about our own capabilities. No more. Our own peace. ☮️🤛fantastic work. One of the more serious people I’ve seen. Saw you on #masterwong ㊙️💥💯#viperjkd SON TSI
You are truly an inspirational and unique person, Dr. Jon. I very much admire your intelligence, humility, gentleness and prowess. I pray that God will bless you in your life and bring you to Himself! Thanks.
Thank you for your insights on depression. It is as if truth was finally revealed to me. I've started Win Chun yesterday and I hope, one day, to learn under your tutelage. Thank you for inspiring people all around the world. We are grateful
Incredible video. The martial arts, like the music or literature, build our existence, justify our stay in the life and give a meaning to our world. I would like to know martial arts, I think that it is a good way to discover your identity, but I have not a lot of time... I admire your way of life, martial artists!
Remarkable first video to watch on your channel after seeing you on Master Wong's channel. Great insight into you. I wish you lived up North so I could train under you :(
A5J4DX ahh man that's so kind of you, thank you! I've been thinking about doing some videos of my own.. but will definitely be doing some more with Master Wong in the future!
Anxiety is something that's very close to my heart, as someone who's gone through it as well as someone who helps others. I wrote a lil thing on it: www.xue-zhang.com/anxiety
@@DarkstreamLIVES I had this apprehension as a child and as a teen. But my apprehension wasn't for the wrong reasons. Apprehension about school and on the outside world. So i developed anxiety and fears. It caused something terrible in me.
I used to do Tae Kwon Do when I was younger. I got my black belt and quit because of the intense sparring with other kids way bigger then I was. I’m now a competitive swimmer and I think I might just pick up martial arts again after watching this video. The discipline that came with the art helped me get through a lot of tough moments in my life. Thank you.
@@DarkstreamLIVES thank you for the support. The offer means a great deal to me. I’m mainly practicing stretches to improve my flexibility. I love the fact that I remember mostly all of my training because of muscle memory. I’ve recently started safely practicing my techniques. I’ve even taught a few of friends some of these techniques. Overall, I’m really happy I’ve picked this up again. It’s really nice practicing at my own pace.
this is the most beautiful video I have seen on TH-cam. You are truly inspirational ....I remember when my brother and I were younger we had dreams of becoming ninjas and we would spar often with each...we trained like crazy.. inspired by dragon ball and Jackie Chan....however our dream died when our parents weren't able to afford martial art classes for us.

You're a fascinating - and inspirational - person.
I like that you practice physical, mental and emotional health.
You're very well spoken.
I worry that the fist conditioning might one day hurt your piano playing.

I've found myself coming back to this video multiple times over the past week and I feel like you have opened my eyes to how martial arts and meditation can turn somebody into a super cool and mindful dude such as yourself. Thank you for the wonderfully put together video. Educational and inspirational on many levels!
I've just seen this! Apologies for my late reply, thank you so much :-) I'd love to do a follow up, though I'd have to get the old team together to do it! :-)
You just gave the true meaning of the word art in martial arts. Very inspiring
Your reference to anxiety and depression, as a carrier of those ailments, was much appreciated. I may have just needed to hear those words so eloquently put. Thanks, you are an inspiration and a great help.
Jeremy, thank you. Really grateful to hear that :-)
This is by far the most amazing martial arts video ive seen on youtube. I love that part when you said a real martial artist is righteous. And the part playing the piano, thats divine. Thank you for uploading this. Respect from Singapore Taichokun.
Thank you so much man :-) I've subscribed to your channel too
One love. @@DarkstreamLIVES
How have I not seen this yet mate :) It was relay beautiful, I love what you had to say and what stand for. It reminds me of what my old sensei would say to us when I was 15 :)
Oh mate! Thank you so much! 😊🙏 Must work with you again soon!!
I followed you from your comment on Master Wong's channel. I am so glad that I did.
You now have a Kung Fu brother in me.
Lots of respect.
Moi
Ahhh that's awesome of you, brother! Thank you 😊💪🙏
"A true martial artist is righteous". Words to live by, my friend. I did Tae Kwon Do for eight years and have been doing BJJ for about a year and a half, and my only regrets are not starting sooner. I wish I could come to Oxford and meet you, but unfortunately I live in the American midwest. So much of the "journey" is truly connected to the spiritual life... we fall, we get back up, we have to be humble and learn from our teachers, and we never stop pursuing truth and beauty. Hope to meet you someday.
I couldn't agree more 🙏 I hope our paths cross some day too 🤜💥🤛
I think DR John is underrated, I’m from England and if I’m in Oxfordshire I would love to train at your club, I’ve done karate for 4 years, and some boxing and ju-jitzu, DR John is fast as fuck for a big geezer, keep pushing yourself in movies and I think you could get a big hit!
Thank you Rhys!! Yeah, let me know if you ever find yourself in Oxford 😊💪
DarkstreamLIVES
👍👍 I’ll definitely train under you on of these days....thanks!
I live on Denmark, i Wish I could be trained by Jon. Amazing skills! But maybe more important is his mindset. What a guy
Thank you! Mindset is everything; it is the driver, not the car 😊🙏
My inspiration my brother I love you.
I have to admit came here from Master but you are so inspiring, I've never watched a video so attentively. You have my subscription, even if it doesn't change much. Continue being great, you are filled with talent and I can't even begin to imagine all the hours of hard work you've spent.
Oh wow, thank you so much! 😊🙏 it doesn't matter if the videos don't reach a lot of people, so long as they touch the ones they have reached. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment! 😊
You feel like the best martial artist must have complete control over his physical, mental and spiritual faculties cuz ur the one 😊
I feel like the best version of me, definitely not the best martial artist though, but thank you!!
DarkstreamLIVES nope I guess ur cmon
Absolutely incredible video, you are truly inspirational!
Man, thank you so much
Very cool seeing you in the brothers sun.
When i saw you i said to my girlfriend "thats the martial arts guy i watch on youtube!"
Noo way!!!!! Love that! Thank you for watching!!! 🥰❤️
hahah same! i couldnt figure out where i knew him from!!
@@fixiecats you found me!
@@DarkstreamLIVES
This guy is amazing. Hope i can get as strong as him one day
Thank you 😊😊 anything's possible; you could be stronger!
Legendary video
Thank you!! 🙏
Great video, big inspiration. Thank you!
No, thank you! 😊
I know this video is 4 years old right now but I have to comment this: you are an amazing person and very talented human being! You’re intelligent, dangerous, calm, friendly, and overall a guy I would hang out with all day! After watching this you’re starting to become an inspiration to me. I do martial arts but I only do one style and I want to do more and after watching this video it REALLY makes me want to do more! It makes me want to train all day every day and work hard to become as good as I possibly can! You sir are an inspiration😎
Wow! What a kind message, I really appreciate that, thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you're so driven; be better than you were yesterday yet worse than you'll be tomorrow. Keep at it; it takes years and tears, but it's well worth it. I'm still a student myself on a similar path; I hope ours cross someday 😊🙏
DarkstreamLIVES I hope ours cross someday too!🙏 I’d absolutely love to train with you and even Master Wong and have you guys teach me more about martial arts because I know I still have a lot to learn! It’d be a dream come true!
@@stonecoldsteveaustin2580 we'll make it happen! Should you ever find yourself in Oxfordshire, give me a shout: Info@xue-zhang.com
DarkstreamLIVES I will make sure to do that if I ever go to there! Thank you so much😊🙏
@@stonecoldsteveaustin2580 my absolute pleasure 😊 hope you're keeping well during these uncertain times! 🙏
This video is brilliant. As you are sir. I'm 34 and still find myself giving into anger or frustration, and ironically I am a student of martial arts as well. You have accomplished what I am still working towards. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. (Subscribed)
Thank you man. It's a marathon and not a sprint and it can take years and tears for us to get where we want to be. So long as you aim to be better than you were yesterday yet worse than you'll be tomorrow :-)
Great video! 👌👊
Thank you!!
How is this humanly possible. Looks like a football player, moves like a featherweight boxer.
hahahaha! Thanks!
Great speed for a big dude - instant sub
Thank you!
Such an inspiration to see what a self-disciplined person can achieve, obviously you are an example to look up to, your goal of become a better person in every way possible, mind, body, art, culture is truly admirable. Of course i have suscribed and i am sorry to not speak enough english to really express how much the way you live your life inspire me to better my self and try to follow your exemple. Thank you so much Dr. Jon for share your kind and strong soul. I really hope to see you more in youtube, tv, films or any path you decide to take.
Ps. Your voice and the way you talk, gentle and smooth, truly make even more beautyfull the things about righteousness you said.
Apologies for my late reply! Thank you so much for your kind comment. Means a lot to me.
thank you for sharing your story, i appreciate you
I appreciate you too ☺️🙏
I have struggled with a lot of personal baggage and this video just changed my life. “A martial artist is righteous” I love it brother. You’re a role model and a figure to look up to and strive to be. You may have just altered my life’s path in a positive way. Thanks for the video, subscribed!
Hey man, wow thank you! I'm so honoured that this has had such a positive effect 😊🙏 appreciate your support!
DarkstreamLIVES I’d love the chance to learn from you. Let me know if there are any events you’re hosting!
It's so good to hear what you are teaching. So many martial arts nowadays have lost the spiritual and moral aspects. I also teach the same message in my school I and I'm glad that I'm not alone in the world. In my area many instructors have said to me that the moral and and spiritual aspects of the martial arts are basically non-existent. It's refreshing to see your message and I would like share it on my School Facebook page. Your message needs heard.
Wow, thank you! :-) It assures and encourages me to know that there are likeminded people out there who do teach those neglected aspects. I'm honoured to have my video shared on your page also; thank you, my friend.
Came here from Master Wong. This is a fantastic video, I can imagine you are an inspiration to all your students and everyone you meet. Wish you all the best, subbed and look forward to seeing more from you. Take it easy.
Thank you Adam! 😊🙏 I'm really grateful. Have an awesome evening!
Don't let his size fool you. This guy is super fast.
😊🙏
wow!! this is inspiring!!!! you are absolutely fascinating!
Ahhhh thank you so much!! 🙏
nope! it's me who thank you!
Just....amazing😍
Thank you!
@@DarkstreamLIVES If I would live in the UK I'd wish to train with you 💪
Yore just more than a martial artist and a philosopher
Thank you Dan!! ☺️🙏
DarkstreamLIVES oh wow your more than welcome
Found you on Mr Wong’s videos and had to search for you. forward to more videos about martial arts. Subscribed!
Martial arts for self defense
Ahh thank you so much ☺️ really appreciate it!
You are inspirational. It makes me sad that KSI and Logan Paul gets more attention on TH-cam than you.
Orange Flash I really appreciate that sentiment. Thank you
I just can't imagine someone like you provoking and fighting like you said in you did in your younger days... but well done in finding yourself through meditation and the various creative outlets.... a truly multi-talented guy!
Ahhh thank you! Really appreciate that! About 10 years ago, I made a decision to be a better teacher than a fighter; better to help others than hurt them 😊🙏
Absolute beast. This video should have more views.
Elvis Closs ahh thank you! Maybe one day it will! Of course, I want it to reach lots of people but more importantly, I hope it touches them. 😊
I might start meditating, how long should I do it for and when is the best time? cheers :)
Elvis Closs start with a couple minutes then work your way up. Best time to do it is when you feel like you don't have time, when it's stressful at your job for instance.
Is nice to see someone such as yourself Express what you have so humbly. Always had interest in martial arts ever since I can remember. Would enjoy greatly learning from someone such as yourself. Never really had the opportunity to be able to have any formal type training, only through books and what I've seen. Hopefully one day I'll find a venue to learn and Express in the company of someone such as yourself. Very inspirational... thank you...
Thank you Jay 😊 I really appreciate that. If I can help with anything, just give me a shout!
Much love.
Right back at you!
I saw this a while ago, and i am shocked it has so few views! This is one of the most influenical and inspiring videos i have ever seen.
I really appreciate that! The most important thing is that it helps to influence and inspire those who have watched it. I'd love to shoot a part 2 when Covid 'ends'!!
0:27 Amazing photography. 2:25 This is gold standard advice. 4:29 Fantastic striking. Creative. 4:30 he plays piano too. And his advice on anxiety was on point. This is #monk like material. 💯💥😉 4:49 We do have a few things in common. My choice of haircut, and goatee. Just saying. That’s smart money. 😂now I’m kidding. But I do. I have the same haircut and chin. 6:52 you hit it on the head. Humble. Not looking for it. Martial arts is about our own capabilities. No more. Our own peace. ☮️🤛fantastic work. One of the more serious people I’ve seen. Saw you on #masterwong ㊙️💥💯#viperjkd SON TSI
Thank you so much!
You are truly an inspirational and unique person, Dr. Jon. I very much admire your intelligence, humility, gentleness and prowess. I pray that God will bless you in your life and bring you to Himself! Thanks.
You are so kind, thank you!! Means a lot!
God bless you❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
You deliver such great advise and you're so inspirational!!! Keep up your amazing work!!!!🙌🏻
Sway Jae so kind of you to say, thank you so much!!
Thank you for your insights on depression. It is as if truth was finally revealed to me.
I've started Win Chun yesterday and I hope, one day, to learn under your tutelage.
Thank you for inspiring people all around the world.
We are grateful
Wow thank you so much! It'd be my honour 😊🙏
Very nicely put together! Nice photography and film direction. Well done Stefan and team
samyipdesign thank you so much!!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for watching! 😊🙏 Appreciate the support
Incredible video. The martial arts, like the music or literature, build our existence, justify our stay in the life and give a meaning to our world. I would like to know martial arts, I think that it is a good way to discover your identity, but I have not a lot of time... I admire your way of life, martial artists!
Godián thank you for your words and insight!! 😊😊😊🙏
Remarkable first video to watch on your channel after seeing you on Master Wong's channel. Great insight into you. I wish you lived up North so I could train under you :(
A5J4DX ahh man that's so kind of you, thank you! I've been thinking about doing some videos of my own.. but will definitely be doing some more with Master Wong in the future!
DarkstreamLIVES let me know if you do please. Also by the way I'm the same person as PoPs who you spoke with on Facebook recently lol.
A5J4DX hello my friend!! 😊😊
Wow! You're really talented!
Barkhodan Duhoky thank you!!
I'm living in the past and living in the future as a kid. Had a lot of anxiety. But now unhappy and went through some depression.
Anxiety is something that's very close to my heart, as someone who's gone through it as well as someone who helps others. I wrote a lil thing on it: www.xue-zhang.com/anxiety
@@DarkstreamLIVES I had this apprehension as a child and as a teen. But my apprehension wasn't for the wrong reasons. Apprehension about school and on the outside world. So i developed anxiety and fears. It caused something terrible in me.
I used to do Tae Kwon Do when I was younger. I got my black belt and quit because of the intense sparring with other kids way bigger then I was. I’m now a competitive swimmer and I think I might just pick up martial arts again after watching this video. The discipline that came with the art helped me get through a lot of tough moments in my life. Thank you.
Wow! That's inspiring to read 🙏 anything I can help with in terms of your training, let me know 😊
@@DarkstreamLIVES thank you for the support. The offer means a great deal to me. I’m mainly practicing stretches to improve my flexibility. I love the fact that I remember mostly all of my training because of muscle memory. I’ve recently started safely practicing my techniques. I’ve even taught a few of friends some of these techniques. Overall, I’m really happy I’ve picked this up again. It’s really nice practicing at my own pace.
@@moro708 ahh! I'm so happy to hear that you're helping friends out too with your training 😊🙏 keep at it!
Very inspirational, it makes me want to learn all sorts of martial arts. For many different reasons, wish i started when i was abit younger
Never too late to start! 😊🙏
Came across your channel through Master Wong who is also amazing but you are such an inspiration! Thank you🙏
Ahhh thank you! That's made my evening 😊🙏
