Strategic Tech Coaching exists to bridge the gap from inspiration to implementation. Many times we may know what to do but we can't get ourselves to do it. In smartphone coaching, we solve this by taking the best principles from personal development and peak performance and combining it with technology. The purpose is to help you future-proof yourself.
Yeah it seems like we're all surrounded by a pack of laughing human hyenas at times! Scarface's famous line: "I'm surrounded by idiots" in The Lion King.
I would love a robot that I can train my self defence/ protection skills with! A robot that can perfectly model the parasympathetic nervous system and spinal reflex reactions when struck/hit.
Geoff Thompson No one comes close to you. Most guys who recommend a particular martial art for self defense are sponsored. You on the other hand are not. Cheers mate
Liberty. Just to throw a curved ball the British army's Unarmed combat system. Has no punches in it. Break your fingers you can't pull you gun. So boxing being the best.. ?.
Geff what was it like to train with great late Gary spiers Mario karate legend be nice if you could tell us some stories of your time with Gary spiers thanks jeff
Probably because in a street type of situation people wear clothing, jackets, coats and things to grab. Like Geoff says Judokas have strong stand-up game as well as how it ends up on the ground which usually favours the Judoka. Wrestling ofcourse is something else that should be learned.
@@Sira628 Yes! Totally. Anyone that's tried BJJ, Judo or for that matter Catch Wrestling knows just how dangerous those arts are and should never be overlooked, but studied and vigorously practiced.
Geoff has helped loads of people without knowing. I bought the Fear book in 1996 and it also accidentally gave me confidence to ask out a girl who I liked in Blockbusters video store, after many days of renting out Chines kung fu movies, lol. Helped with muay thai and getting over the fear of hitting and being hit stage, and I bought the updated books for my two nephews for Christmas 2020.
good day so I am reading this book at this stage, still on page 40, I think a have a lot of green and a hint of blue, but I want to know from you the people the following. so as a green male, I feel that these traits of helping people and going out of your way are needy and a way of seeking approval and as a male don't come of as very masculine attributes or maybe I don't really know what it means to be masculine. so my question is to all of you are these traits not considered needy and unmuscline? or is it just my interpretation of society?
Hi friend, I know this comment is old but maybe I can help you. Masculinity is a very important factor that nowadays we don't have many examples of what to follow. Green really has a very Feminine side. A tip I give you is not wanting to forcefully change an important part of it, but improving your body language, confidence and way of speaking will help you a lot. a book called "Models" can help you a lot. Especially if you want help with that male part
To add to this.. My strongest is green and yellow. Back when I was dating I had a period where I always ended up in dreaded the friendship zone... I had just done my first sales training and was taught the power of open ended questions. I was a master of getting friends with girls... which is not what I wanted at the time... After reading old school mystery and David Deangelo I realized that there is a time for attraction and a time for getting to know each other. So by using cocky funny and playing a bit harder to get in the beginning I could create attraction. Was attraction was created I could go back to asking questions and being my green me... :) This was a long time ago when I was dating, now I am happily married.
@@prado0089 hey Thanks for your reply. I actually know Models quite well. Unfortunately I got to know it a little late for my current situation. But thanks again for the advice. Good to see there are people who like a more healthy approach to masculinity like Mark Manson's.
I have no idea. I have a few of his books and one of them has changed my life and improved my health significantly. Like many that are focusing on natural stuff, some may think it's controversial. Learn, test on your own body and make your own conclusion.
I love this book at a certain point, in his categorisation I am a 🔵 also a 🟢, but I don't see humans being categorised only in those, I know this is his idea, but like everything else in the universe: there is still room for improvement. Great book, especially when it is written from somebody that knows his craft.
This is so nice, being a red/yellow/green, I bought this book just because of the title without knowing anything about it, it blew my mind! So many things make sense now, I hope my relationship with, my (only) red, father gets better 🙏 Thank you
"I would love a robot that does all my laundry" Det har du ju redan, till viss grad. Vad är inte en tvättmaskin & torktumlare om inte robotar vars uppgift det är att sköta din tvätt?
Word of advice, the mic has a clip, better to clip it to your shirt then to talk down it. Also for presentation sake, might want to consider organising and neatening your bookcase.
"Almost the only “scientific” reference that Erikson provides in his book is from a book written in 1928 called the Emotions of Normal People, by American psychologist William Moulton Marston. Moulton hypothesised that our behaviour is influenced by “psychonic energy” that is transferred through a web of nerve cells that he called “psychons”. The four personality types (yellow, green, blue and red) arise, Marston claims, as variations between different people in the structure of their psychonic network. This “theory” is pure speculation on the part of Marston. There was no scientific evidence for psychons or psychonic energy in 1928 and there is none today. At the time of publication, the science of psychology was in its infancy and, like Hippocrates and Jung before him, he had created a theory without proper scientific grounding. Unlike Hippocrates and Jung though, Marston’s theory garnered little attention, and he left psychology. He later rose to fame though when he created the comic book hero Wonder Woman! [.....] In summary, the four-colour model is based on a theory that has no scientific basis, has been subject to no rigorous testing and gives confusing and contradictory results. It is, quite simply, pseudoscience." took 2 min. to google
It's the system that psychologists use on regular basis. I have been examined this way when I was younger, before the book ever existed. Also, they teach this system in high schools. Melancholic, Sangvinic, flegmatic, choleric. It's nothing new or surprising really. My sister had PhD in psychology and she's using it too. As he said, it's been on for decades, he just described the system neatly in his book.
It's now very clear, and beautiful, that Geoff has moved on on from the brutality of his past. And though he still can offer guidance on self-protection - I wish more interviewers would ask about his spiritual journey and writing works - and this is just as exciting. 😊
I recommend you to listen to the whole interview. We talked a lot about spirituality. Here you can find it - anchor.fm/oskarandermo/episodes/EP-66---Geoff-Thompson-face-your-fears-and-do-the-work-en5jjj
I followed geoff since the early 90s, everything he says is spot on regarding physical self defense but the metaphysical stuff is just his opinion and using unsubstantiated sources like religion, spirituality,its actually the opposite of what he always taught which is evidence based.
I think it's his Aikido training that has lead him to think the way he does now, what with that pedophile instructor having the most influence on his mind.
"Watch my back" is the bible. I've read it three times during my 30+ years on the door and it says all that is needed to know when it comes to violence.
