Скачать или смотреть Train Less, Improve More? The Zen Paradox of Aikido & Climbing

Ever wonder if taking time off makes you stronger—or just rusty?
After two weeks away from the climbing wall, I wanted to see what really happens to your body and mind when you rest. Muscle memory, dexterity, and focus all play a role—but the real test is deeper.

In this episode, I connect the lessons from rock climbing and Aikido with a classic Zen story that reveals how over-training can actually slow progress.

If you’ve ever struggled with finding balance between practice and pause, this one’s for you.
