55. Rapha Sun - Jiu-Jitsu, masculinity and the role of a man
I knew Rapha from way back during our yoga teaching days. So it was truly special reconnecting with him again for this raw and unfiltered conversation.
We delved about his life’s journey of martial arts, spirituality and fatherhood, and reflected on the importance of taking responsibility for yourself while respecting the unknown, as well as setting boundaries to protect your space.
Stuff we talked about:
Fatherhood
Masculinity and the role of a man
Being able to protect someone physically
Jiu-jitsu journey
Staying calm in deep waters
Mr Not-so-Nice Guy
Aggression and setting the tempo
Accept and compose
Learning to say ‘No’ in Jiu-jitsu
The exchange of energy and protecting your space
Having a plan and setting intentions for each roll
Worshiping the Jiu-jitsu gods
The endless pursuit
Death and Rebirth
Dealing with suffering and seeking spirituality
Running from robbers in Peru
Integrating with plant medicine
There is no purpose
Respecting the space around you
Acknowledging the unknown
Who you are when no one is watching
Being responsible for yourself
Everything is your fault
Sawadikap,Aaron
