Edward ::: Slowing Down to Run Faster: Feldenkrais, martial arts, and the sport of running

Conmoto

Edward Yu is a former competitive runner and triathlete, current martial arts enthusiast, and perennial student of Masters Li Xueyi and Ge Guoliang in the art of Bagua. Along with studying Bagua and Taichi, he has sampled enough boxing, kickboxing, and judo to know that sometimes it’s better to run for your life. Like his favorite early 20th Century German dissident, Edward feels at home wherever there are clouds and birds and human tears (though he would like to add sun to the list and thinks the German dissident would have too if she had lived in Portugal). Edward currently lives in Portugal.
