IDO PORTAL - FULL DOCUMENTARY - FULL MOVIE

[Music] I don't know about you but something just doesn't feel quite [Music] right sometimes I look at the world and wonder why am I really here I get anxious I feel lost and confused I have more friends than ever but I don't really feel connected I have all this information but I can't find the truth [Music] the more I seek pleasure the less I find [Music] happiness I don't remember the last time I played I don't remember the last time I was scared I don't remember the last time I felt here human maybe the answer

is right in the mirror maybe it is something that I took for granted my whole life maybe the answer is inside my own [Music] body the only thing that connects me with who I really am if I can understand that maybe I can understand [Music] myself so I'm traveling to the oldest place in the world to learn the oldest lesson known to man from the only person who can teach me [Music] so who is Ido portal and what does he teach well where do I begin in 2014 a man walked into my studio carrying all

of his possessions on his back he was a nomad relentless LLY touring the world city by City teaching his message one person at a time what I thought would be just another interview instead changed everything because I began to think of my body in a completely new [Music] way you see Ido is a man obsessed with human movement who has spent his entire life in the pursuit of this knowledge his subject movement his Mantra move move more move better move with more freedom move with more understanding move move move his teachings would attract a new

tribe of practitioners with their own unique ideas values and character EA would call this movement [Music] culture then in 2015 everything would change when he began training the UFC fighter Conor [Music] McGregor suddenly both Ido and his culture were elevated to a global stage where the world would learn of lizard walks and spinal waves from one of the most well-known fighters on the planet this was incredible for me to watch in real time it was like some kind of a strange YouTube Dream Most months later Connor would be crowned the UFC champion with Ido portal

right by his [Music] side but for me Ido was always the same person just a man obsessed with finding the master key of human movement and yet the more I understood of what Ido taught the more I became confused with more answers came more questions and I soon found myself lost again in this concept that was so simple yet so complicated so when Ido invited me to Israel I jumped at the [Music] [Applause] chance as a kid from the beaches of California the Middle East had always fascinated me a place with so many cultures and

countries and languages and traditions where people created religion in search of [Music] Salvation looking for answers outside of their own bodies like many of you I had watched the news I had seen the violence I had heard the politicians speak but I wanted to see what it was really like for myself [Music] so here I am in the land of the soul to learn about my body [Music] oh [Music] n [Music] you try your best you keep going keep going keep going don't stop never stop never stop there is no reason to rest just keep

going keep going you're frustrated keep going oh I'm [ __ ] keep going I want to kill myself keep going keep going keep going keep going just chew on it get used to the craft man I'm making a craft here and you know it's like the first craft that you made in Primary School you brought your mother some [ __ ] up statue said mama look what I did and she said what a beautiful creation so creative it's like afterwards your Dad throws it in the garbage because he thinks he it's some some leftover so

here we are first we are just getting used to that I'm shitty I'm not yet good at it it's the shin the beginner mindset and we go into the beginner mode and I try to sustain the ball on the wall for as long as possible by placing myself in front of it tightening my fists and moving my body if I miss it I miss it I pick it back up I go back into action let's do it there he is you know how are you I'm good I'm good how do you think about this amazing

this is like a big playground that's what it is that's what it is it is a playground for adults there is no bigger reason for a community to gather around play [Music] I remember the first thing Ido ever told me it's not about what you want to learn it's about what the teacher want to teach you and people hate hearing it if you find a real teacher and if if you find a real process it doesn't matter what he teaches what what it teaches what she teaches and it just matters that you found that thing

and so if if I find a violin teacher I'll study violin Mastery of everything is the Mastery of Mastery it's the Mastery of yourself Ido was born in hia Israel a Beach town near the border with Lebanon as a young man he was always obsessed with the physical and at 15 years old he fell in love with capua the seductive afro Brazilian martial art and dance that introduced him to movement music and rhythm for the next 16 years Ido would Master the art but this dance was not enough and Ido longed for more so we

traveled the world in search of a true movement teacher learning from anyone in any discipline along the way athletes yogis dancers gymnasts circus performers and Fighters he studied nutrition Health Anatomy physiology mental training and more unable to find a movement teacher he returned with one [Music] conclusion I didn't make the next mistake of being an acrobat being I don't know a dancer I realized I love movement on all of its Shades utilitarian movement artistic movement H breathing any any form of Mind Body Connection boom one two balance feel it Place balance feel it down don't

drop down everybody sees that you're [ __ ] if you spend days on the rail you would become the cat but we we stop challenging ourselves like this and we start to feel shitty hence we don't like it I challenge you to not like it when you're good at it [Music] [Music] let's face it I am not a mover in middle school I won the science fair at University I got the engineering degree now I'm surrounded by proper athletes all of them 20 years younger than [Music] me and what's with the tennis balls and handrails

when are we going to get to the good [Music] stuff if it's too much and I give you a traumatic experience you're not going to go back into it and then we encapsulate the fear and inside the capsule it grows until it takes over your life where touching it in the right moments is okay here here is a controlled risk yeah you can probably somehow if you're a real idiot catch your foot inside of here follow on the other side and crack your head open making some serious mistake but without it what comes to what

what will happen yeah like I'm here I'm here I'm here I'm here okay I need this I step on it I need here whoa whoa whoa whoa where am I okay I'm stepping here oh I need o I'm falling down up I come down here it's nothing but it looks much different when you're up there yeah try again [Applause] and breathing now and a small Smile as well yeah this smile relaxes you it's connected with the mindset yeah just a small stretch of the lips a fake smile faking it until we are making it small

smile and breath yeah release the leg standing on two legs is the hardest thing now you can use it for balance the right leg it's a huge part of your balance and now you place it when you're ready breathe the fear comes in wants to make contractions you manage it don't eliminate it you'll never eliminate it but you play with it you dance with the fear don't overuse me you did it now you you did it you took that step nice nice nice stop go back one step you're good okay we do The Descent put

the right foot squat down slowly squat down slowly again you're good push it back release it good slowly come down into the foot yeah you broken now you broken but you this is your project Moun walking alone this mountain coming down maybe not today but before you leave captured okay the next time you try it it's a completely different beast but you have to step away from it to feel the difference now you you broke it you broke the fear this is what the the parkour kids call breaking the jump right it's actually breaking the

fear of the jump or breaking the fear of the element all of a sudden it was possible did you feel it yeah what was impossible before what was paralyzing all of a sudden I I dared and know oh it's not so it's not so difficult and it and it happened yeah but I had to trust that process and make the leap when my brain was saying don't do it yeah and I as a teacher that's the interesting part I can hold your hand to the edge of that clip Cliff but when it's time to jump

to the other side I I I cannot occupy your hand I have to you can only do it yourself I can teach you a jab and a cross and do all the drills but eventually you're all alone the ring is the Loneliest place and it's the same here I can give all the tools and instructions but you have to deal with that emotional hormonal dump that Focus that fear that so it's it's a beautiful moment of self-discovery and evolution you've just made a huge change in your neurological makeup you've rewired yourself around this fear around

the possibilities and you're not the same person as you were this is beautiful we need more of this in our lives it's uncomfortable but this creates huge changes it's it's it's an arrow discomfort and fear is an arrow it's here it's this is where the gold is x marks the spot it's here but we go with the pleasure that's not where the arrow points and that eventually is not pleasurable anymore and it kind of can destroy our lives but where a fear resides this is where real growth is and and discomfort and pain is part

of it thank you good good guys [Music] [Music] my name is odelia I practice movement for a living I came across ID those work in capera and I directly recognized there's something different about the approach about the quality of the work I I had to to learn from this person so I just started to train with him and then we shift it into other worlds I had a car accident around 10 years ago I I was just driving the car on my way to to Kaa to meet a do and the guys and someone ran

into the car behind me and I I nearly died I broke four vertebras in the lower back L1 to L4 I I was lying in the hospital bed and I was thinking I wonder where will I be in 5 years from now will I be able to walk will I be able to do this and then after a few weeks I I this question still I remember the day that I was lying and thinking about because I couldn't walk I couldn't move and I I realized that it doesn't matter I try to live every day

like I know it's a bit cheesy but as if it's my L but it's it really is it it really could be [Music] [Music] I have a 10-month old boy and I think I told you he's crawling now and he's about to walk and you said to me you said Brian he's closer to the source than you are yeah yeah he he's first he's operating tools that are superior to yours in many ways tools of intuition tools of connection without yet terminology and language taming the process fears are not categorized yet as fears it's like

how does this work oh like as a child like right like you you learned how to you learned how to walk you figured it out you know who taught you how to walk not your parents nobody teaches his child how to walk that's not true that's not honest you learned how to walk it can only be learned and figured out and that's the beauty of the struggle yeah the cus approach the struggle pushing that rock up the mountain is enough to fill our hearts that's the nature of being alive evolving increasing awareness enjoying this reality

that nobody [ __ ] knows what it is so I think it's a good thing that we have to struggle and once we eliminate the struggle great emptiness hits and it happens on a on a micro level for us all the time reaching goals yeah it's a very emptying moment which which brings us to another very important thing success is not a good orientation it's it's it's a filthy word it's a nauseating word I hear it a lot success how did you become successful how how to succeed that's a wrong orientation the orientation should be

to learn something about this body this mind the nature of our awareness through those tools but it does not mean you don't do them very intensely so I I practice like a madman but with complete Detachment of the result in the end of the day it's about being a Craftman and not being the success story sit down and do your [ __ ] work you still do hanging work these days and everything I I do it in the gym now and I just think about you all the time you know ah always good I want

to go I want to got room there to hang a little bit and how how often do you prescribe the hanging daily daily and for what kind of a time interval five 7 minutes a day total time but they build it up in small sections maybe 30 seconds maybe 20 seconds maybe a minute and it's kind of like a cat stretch for us cuz we're not moving on all fours so so we rarely kind of the modern lifestyle rarely compress the body and we rarely extend it and this is kind of very nice extension it

run through you you let gravity do the alignment for you and what better what better modality to use than gravity we're living with gravity we have a constant relationship with it although many don't realize it and then the other thing the compression is the squat which we've talked about before and just compressing the lower body and just yeah just down here spending time just turn and this is what I would recommend for everyone these two basic things you have to really think what kind of legs do you want to build I I don't want three

trunk legs I want bamboo legs w w w w flexible strong yeah if the wind comes it it bends it but it doesn't break and it can bounce me out it's elastic I do this now in a suit when I'm waiting for my breakfast in London and people walk by and they just don't understand I also hang in the in the subway from the thing and it it freaks the English people out yeah I'm sure I do it in Germany and I I I get some weird looks I think many people are um very much

stuck in their own world in their own lack of movement and what we're trying to bring is movement to the public and to make people join us and to do rail outside and people like see what we do to bring movement and life and everything that we do out there like to as many people as possible not to become couch potatoes and uh like you do with say Homer Simpsons [Music] [Music] send it up send it up send it [Music] up up up go up h h [Music] all this wild waste of [Music] time never

mind I want you something your good we start with movement of the spine starting with the wall she will stand very close to the wall facing the wall actually and come come a bit from the sides come closer she will touch the wall with the nose and then she will touch the wall with the chin and then with the chest and with the chest to the ribs with the ribs into the abdomen abdomen into the pelvis by the time she touched the pelvis the nose is the furthest back and now she initiates again nose chin

chest ribs abdomen pelvis nose again and she does this very very slowly like this and little by little it will start to form a wave as she come close to the wall but she does not touch it anymore and she starts to wave her spine wave her spine we we will go like this 5 minutes straight non-stop everyone across the wall it's start this is about fine motor control terminology movement terminology the control of the body the [Music] articulation the separation for the sake of integration later on for the sake of improvisation later on good

if I was a yoga teacher I would say one wave a whole world or something like this but it was one wave it's the same wave and you can use it in multitude of ways to go in out and you don't have Mastery of that wave unless you can actually use it in a variety of waves this archaeological wave yeah where do we come from from where you should know yeah from there the life start there so evolutionary our spine is coming from there we still have that fluidity we have it it's a reason you

have it that's it people don't respect the fact that they receiv received something I have a leg I use it I have a spine I use it most people don't respect it so when do they respect it they hit the wall you [ __ ] up your spine by sitting by not moving by not oscillating by the time it's [ __ ] up now you want it back life does this to you life asks you do I have something in my eye you're not going to get it it's too late yeah and the biggest depression

can be resolved with that a near death experience it's enough it kills all the it's the proac you know a small accident like a car accident an appreciation of your spine o Delia broke her back like okay I want that back I thought I didn't need it no I need it [Music] [Music] because I'm interested in the ability in the content inside the container in the liquid inside the cup and not in the cup the tennis boxing game is the container what is the contents rical footwork sense of distance accuracy touch my hand it's not

easy to touch that ball to catch it [Music] yeah Ido was teaching us to deal with unexpected situations the randomness of the ball and the unpredictability of our fists Force the brain and body to move and react in new ways Ido once told me I don't plan I react he was teaching us to embrace chaos to be antira agile to grow stronger with [Music] Randomness the problem is the more you play this game the less it is it does the magic and at the same time the more you play the game the better you become

at it these move in inverse correlation because the more you get good at it the more you like to do it but the less it is for you because now it becomes a specialized tool wow I can do this game really well because I trained it good so it's a beautiful game it's also playful it's also enjoyable um and brings us back into a little bit his juvenile approach of learning through play through craftsmanship as a as a child you don't go into the competitive mindset right away you're more in a playful mindset let's play

you don't think to yourself oh he's better than me when you're 2 years of age you just play you're not orienting yourself towards success and when you fail you're done you're over you're not orienting yourself towards things that are temporary but you Orient yourself towards something bigger craftsmanship self-mastery self-discovery Evolution my movements are beautiful today but maybe tomorrow my movements are not beautiful anymore but I'm not basing myself in Beauty it's not about just moving beautiful and looking beautiful yeah and I did the eyebrows for the shoot I I don't base myself in that because

that is going to get over your tee are going to get down here the ball sack is decreasing 1 mm every year of a male's life yeah going to walk with it on the floor few years dragging it behind so we we are we are declining we are we are destroying the body cracks we get injured we age we age now not tomorrow we age we are born into the grave so let's base ourselves in something else let's do the play Let's discover even if it's a dead end Street this game it's it's already a

beautiful way to pass an afternoon to and and it's make sure you are feeding yourself not food but movement tasks that are essential for for us and that's not respected the adults look at it and it's like he's just playing he's just being a kid yeah is Being Human more human than you homoludens we are that play man we must play it's our way of being it's our way of developing surviving everything animals play and it's they prede mankind so play is bigger than Humanity it's not like you become old you stop playing you grew

old because you stop [Music] [Applause] [Music] playing I think that the real disabled people people are the people that don't move and it's like if you see around usually in big towns and everywhere in the world in Europe in the states in Israel everywhere you see most of the people they don't move they walk they sit in the car they eat stuff awful stuff usually they look at TV I mean they are very stiff and they they don't move they don't try to to to challenge their body and so they don't try to challenge their

mind either I mean it's all together you know I was injured in by a train accident in France it was 32 years ago I met a lot of people at hospital that couldn't do what I can do I I I found myself in front of people that have so big problems you know and I felt like okay I don't have any problem okay I'm sitting in a wheelchair because I have no legs it's easier for me but I can be on the floor I can climb I can do everything I'm like a monkey you know

and then I had a feeling that I have to move for those who can't move the guy who can't move his arm I am moving for him my arm because I think it's like a I have so great privilege I have to use it I have to use [Music] it and I don't think everybody has to deal with sport at a high level I think everybody has to move meaning you have a leaf and you have stairs take the stairs you have a I don't know what you have a a car and a bike take

the bike not the electric bike you know the normal bike the tiring one um you can run you can jump you can dance just do [Music] it okay I'm giving this body that's enough reason for me to respect that tremendously I'm I'm not going to degrade this body I'm not going to destroy this body but because I was given this it's enough reason for me to go full on with [Music] it to learn about it to operate it and and to work with it and to explore it and to understand it but uh it's hard

work to remind yourself that and to continue to explore that but if I take your leg you immediately know I need my leg back the body is us like and we we kind of know it but we also fall into all these DEC caran traps living up here and by the time we we are realizing it it's too late and we lived in a suboptimal way and maybe that doesn't matter like I said maybe ultim again this the same end result is the same end result but somehow again like I said it makes sense right

now to go full on with what I receive so I have this breath so I use it to communicate with the most passion the idea to you not just wasting it away I have this leg okay what can I do with this leg I have this spine what can I do with it I have this brain what can I do with it and it's a it's a good reason to go for it and it fulfills you back because of that I I think it gives you so much because of that it's a hint it's the

right thing purly because you can that's enough of a reason yeah it's there respect that why do you think it's there [Music] [Music] who is this gentleman over here who seems to be enjoying himself that's inspired by uh Ben gon the very legendary prime minister of Israel who um the story tells he was a student of a Moshe felden Christ who created the felden Christ method there is a very famous photo of him practicing headstands I think there was a lot of movement Happening Here back when I Was An Itch in my Daddy's pants not

even why why and why movers like that in Israel is it is the climate was it new ideas new ways of thinking new people major part of it is survive surviving the horrors of Europe 80 years ago a major part of it is the the climate that is supportive of more movement definitely colder countries less movement constant threats Terror Wars um and then also people's bodies which come from different climates and arrived here with a certain gin pool and they have problems health issues and joints and pains and aches and all this is contribut think

something so it's a country of immigrants and it's a it's a crucible of [Music] cultures on my flight over here they gave me a pillow and they gave me a blanket and it was just about the right temperature I had water a little bit of food I was extremely comfortable and uh I'm curious what you think about killing people with comfort and are we are we a little bit too protected now as humans it's a common issue it's a common problem we've taken the road of H satisfaction protection H safety um pleasure Comfort to a

ridiculous level we are over sensitive and over alarmed by certain things and that fear creates its own problem and pains and issues around it sometimes more than the actual condition fear is an extremely powerful thing in our lives it's one of the most Primal basic inputs H that we use but it took over our lives because we come from an environment with many dangers and risks and it was a very potent protective tool but now it became a hindrance ER I think happiness is not a good orientation but fearlessness is a much more powerful thing

you will you will never be Fearless but the orientation might be good for us nowadays less fear and more yeah more awareness of how do I perceive things everything we are creating this environment by how we see it and the narrative that we make of it and the narrative is the story the story that you tell yourself the Brian Brian is a story if you if you take it down into the most tiny bits Brian doesn't exist is a collection of stories hence what really happened to you is not as powerful as what you tell

yourself happened to you old school psychotherapist Freudian was dealing a lot with that what really what happened there let's dig into it it's not as powerful as the stories that you tell yourself we are the sum of the stories we tell ourselves what story had I been telling myself for 40 years I had pursued money and success my Twisted version of the American dream it brought me [Music] emptiness so I created a new story London real it was scary but worth it now I the student always learning always [Music] beginning I was starting to see

Ido as much more than a teacher of movement instead he was using his tools to connect us to what we really are our Pure Essence our original nature helping us to understand ourselves in order to understand everything else to abandon what we're good at and embrace what we sucked [Music] at shosen what the Japanese call The Beginner's mind [Music] doing this it was considered the weirdo now it's a whole culture doing it and I'm so happy to see here people coming in playing with a ball you know on the wall it's like why because now

it's it's it's a fashionable way of training of being of moving you you've done the same with London re all of a sudden it's like yeah to record some conversations and publish them by yourself it's cool it's opportunity so we took the system to break the system kind of using what's there yeah give people what they really want which was told to them that they shouldn't be doing these things which is play and real conversations I'm not a serious trainer you're not a serious journalist journalists would make fun of you and and trainers and and

and PhD physiology experts make fun of me but it's too powerful you can't ignore it anymore and so yeah they have to respect it [Music] [Music] eventually then you would need to catch the stick as close as possible to the floor using your legs to Lunge to move to place you going to go 2 minutes one arm 2 minutes the other arm by that time you should warm up your legs really [Music] quick I can use squatting and I can use lunging of all kinds and I warm up my legs in a real way it's

not like you're preparing this way and then you go to a judo match and you you're in a perfect life looks [Music] weird pause a tennis game on YouTube what do you see so this is a much more real way to prepare the legs because if you do prepare the legs in this perfect positions you can't move for [ __ ] these are the worst Movers On The Planet Fitness people they are the people who invest the most amount of time into their physical practice and move the poorest of course the couch potatoes are worse

but for the amount of time invested in movement they are the worst [Music] very important nowadays is to empty the arms the arms are too full your arms are locked people are moving around the same thing with the spine they're calcified arms and then they go to the gym they try to get this and we need to empty the arms add a little bit of movement just to remind yourself notice how I bent my knees to catch the motion a bit and I feel a rush of blood in my hand rush of blood rush of

blood rush of blood when I do the drills with corner he says I feel like an aangan he finishes he said I'm ready I feel like an orangutan and that's where it all all this stuff originated from yeah the Vinnie McMahon walk was more cocky but he added these ape arms so getting a little bit longer I hope you feel that now you're already too long yeah you as well yeah remember what I said these are transmission cords but what am I doing now I'm trying to make this the engine not the transmission strong arms

mean [ __ ] because the power is not here yeah show you the real power now yeah capture it observe this is the real power how you unclog the hose this is nothing this is not here it's not here it's here look turn around look at this this is a sign of power look at how the low back look at the thickness of the low back it's a lot more in the extremity the end of the chain and the end of the chain it's here that's why we obsessed with this yeah boom it's this it's

that engine it's that that makes the power but we became focused on [Music] and I've always been fascinated by movement and bringing Ido in this week was phenomenal it it it reentered the mind it changed training it was movement based it was no contact to be able to go into certain positions and balance on one hand or in in unusual positions to be able to do that you don't just have control over your body you have control over your mind so it's always been something that's fascinated [Music] me what do most people do when they

are the very best in the world at something they keep doing it and why wouldn't they it brings them fame money and success but what if success is the wrong orientation what if being Fearless is a better [Applause] approach well it seems as if Conor McGregor is about to find out considered the very best mixed martial artist in the world he has decided to enter a completely new Arena boxing where his kicks his elbows his chokes his 20 years of martial arts training cannot be used a sport where he has zero professional experience this takes

The Beginner's mind to the next level but there's more his opponent is a man considered to be one of the greatest boxers of all time Floyd Mayweather with a flawless 49 and0 [Music] record so how can Connor win he must use something unorthodox use something unexpected use something counterintuitive use ortal now there are more rules which means if you could introduce some new movement principles that Floyd's never seen it could really be that that master key or Mega principle you're talking about we meet two different animals kind of like a an octopus and a lion

there are a few ways to approach it for Connor and I'm not sure where it's going to go one of the ways is to box with the boxer and and that's that's of course is a very difficult thing to do another thing is H is not to box with the boxer is to find loopholes inside possibilities scenarios which are still allowed within the the boxing realm and above that as well just confidence and fighting spirit and heart um is a huge Factor here as well of course and both possess that you might say it's impossible

but that's the point go to where the fear is and all of the world will be watching [Music] Because deep down inside every single one of us knows this is what life is truly about it's the essence of Being [Music] Human Connor has already won what's the biggest thing you learned about yourself with all of that focus and criticism and cuz you're you know you're on a different level now when working with people like Connor yeah I learned that I'm not about be I'm not about being loved by everyone which I I once I believed

it's like I'm a good Force I want to do good I'm a hard worker I'm I built myself really with that those skill sets I worked so hard in it so like why why why shouldn't it be accepted well by everyone everyone right and I learned that no that's not what I'm about the bigger the star that you work with the bigger the the tale that is told about you right yeah as you said to me if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen right yeah yeah I I said it to myself

at a certain point because I realized like oh [ __ ] what did I get into and then I reminded myself like okay do you want to do it or don't you want to do it can you stand the Heat or not take the criticism work with hatred with the haters you know like that it's the next level okay what is what it does to the ego how you operate with that you should really uh not take criticism from me from General Public from comments from talkbacks from from critics that never met you don't know

nothing about you they just they're not providing criticism from a an expert point of view their egos are screaming their own jealousy their own insecurities or they're just lack of understanding in the subject matter but if you never met me you never did any you never took a class with me how do you want to criticize what I'm doing why do you want to talk about movement it took me 20 plus years to to begin to understand that I don't understand so what what are you what do you understand you didn't spend a moment trying

to understand you you watch some clips you watched an interview what did you do you saw a handstand or a crawl and then a moment after I play with a ball and a dance routine and then a fight exercise and a game what do you know about it don't know nothing about it you cannot do it as well so all these hints don't take the criticism but don't avoid criticism altogether have the people in your life providing you that feedback for growth for self-development so if you are doing it for some kind of love then

so what did you conclude you're doing it for then I'm doing it for my own self Discovery it's being interested it's discovering it's growing and it's it's passing time in that way because all we can do is just pass time that's all we we're doing right like people ask me why are you doing it it's a way to pass time it's a it's a good answer I once heard it from a a martial arts teacher [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm always trying to figure out what it is that you do and what it is you're all

about and the best example was yesterday I went through Israeli immigr migration and they're like why are you here I'm here to see Ido portal one of your National Treasures and and and I I said what is he I said he's a [Music] movement he's not a specialist not an expert if I called him a guru he would be looking for me uh And yet when I pulled my phone out and showed him literally 15 seconds of you on YouTube moving they got it not only did they get it they were excited and they wanted

to know more about it and they were pulling the other immigration officers in to look at your video um why does this happen it's a like all Paradigm shifts in a way I think it's so simple it's so you know there is the side of people who said like it was always there of course it was always there we're living in a body of course people were always moving movement was always there I I don't have any new insights there is nothing new Under The Sun It's just I spin the perspective I I turn them

to look at it from a different a different perspective and then it it just happens Bruce Lee said it very well and he repackaged the philosophy that was known from before absorb what is useful disregard what is useless and add what is Uniquely Yours and tell me about the subsequent development of movement culture as we know Ido Portal's movement culture H yeah it's it's just you you can't do it alone you have to move inside a culture you you need a culture to move in which is you are starting to you will start to feel

it if you don't feel it already very soon just because you're already now practicing in a more open way but you kind of have to find locations and friends to play with and teachers and but then imagine you have a culture to move imagine you have a community in you meet regularly and it supports that and you do it together we are social beings and movement it cannot be separated from the structure that occupies it and the cultural context around it so for me that was obvious we need a tribe [Music] here [Music] all the

pressures all the cameras or the friends oh the egos oh the reputations oh oh oh oh oh oh what's next oh I'm pressurized oh I've never done this in front of blah blah blah oh the sun oh the floor the cracks in the floor oh the repetition oh I forgot what I want to do excellent thank you she just does it she can do it you ask yourself can you do it or what are you teaching what are you doing you can do a perfect handstand when it's time to walk with a handstand you can

do it it's easier but it shows you how addicted you are to the form of practice [Music] look at my best trick I'm going to do it now this is my best trick are you ready with the camera you ready it's my best drink and now I'm when do you do that when now there is a crowd wait they're not looking it's never comes there is not this moment it's a delusion you never have your best performance in the right moment so guess what start to perform every moment of your life this is it that's

the performance now now we're moving but what happens this doesn't seem like the real thing when is it is it tomorrow when what are you waiting for to what are you you because you give 70% hence I think for myself so ah it's not his true capacity his potential is unfulfilled tomorrow it will happen no the next next year next year I will be really good these are the people who never reach the mark they're never good because they didn't take the opportunity to be good inside the toilet taking a crap in those moments every

moment now perform do it with the maximum seriousness I drop a ball and I try to catch it I'm there I'm not disrespecting the situation because that's it that's the performance you don't have to wait until you're 70 80 90 to realize oh [ __ ] yeah I missed the mark it was all performative moment and it was a life not well lived I didn't go I didn't go with it I didn't use what I could anyways now it doesn't matter you know this this moment n now it doesn't matter I don't want to say

this I don't want to fall into this trap so I give you a stage whether the camera is here Brian is here KES how do you say the fear of God in you yeah the the we say in Hebrew do it with the fear of God so like the stick Falls not because the camera is there cuz every damn is the same [ __ ] thing I don't want to drop the [ __ ] stick you want to touch my shoulder I want to touch your shoulder I don't want you to touch my shoulder so

if I fight it I stop it I go with it I go with the emotional content I go with the breath I go with the vocalization you hear it there is no camera but I'm there with full intent and then someone else is playing no you mistaken the playful approach for a shitty approach it's a shitty playful approach you can have a serious playful approach you can have a shitty playful approach but being playful doesn't mean you don't do it full on serious till you bleed [Music] I [Music] [Music] I've been thinking about you know

last few days here and uh you know I travel all the way to Israel to learn about movement and learn about my body but uh it feels like I've gotten a lesson in people I've been spending time with you and and your community and they've really welcome me in like I was family and it's it's been really BL ly obvious to me and I I walked into your Movement Center and the energy in there it's there's something about it and there was a guy 2 m tall 2 m wide wingspan one of the most incredible

athletes I've ever seen before next to a 50-year old woman with no legs next to a 9-year-old girl next to uh a veteran who probably got trapnel scars from you know jumping on a terrorist attacker but yet there's this kind of of energy and and love in there that it's hard to explain and I was wondering if you could explain to me is is this the movement culture you're talking about I think it's uh it's related to many different layers uh part of it is the movement practice part of it is the the teachers who

are teaching in that Center and the the energy that they attract this this community this is something that will really last uh through our lives because the rest of it is a is more temporary you know our bodies get destroyed we are social creatures it's not happening on a alone on some Mountain you're you're not you're not going to become the person that you want to be you're not going to make it you're not going to develop the skill sets you're not going to develop a um yourself you need [Music] people Ido is a genius

he's a crazy person he's uh an artist he's a thinker he's a philosopher he's a good friend he's the best teacher I know he's a practitioner he's not talented in many things he's a hard worker and and I think this combination is something very rare and special I always tell him like I never met someone like you like you're this weird like entity just special combination of [Music] things for a nomad Ido has built a very big family full of people who have connected with themselves and with each other I wonder how the world would

look if everyone did [Music] this sounds like a place I want to [Music] [Applause] [Music] be I've lived in London for over 17 years but something feels different on my return I see things in a new way I see challenges I see purpose I see Humanity I see myself you can call me crazy but I know how we can save the world we start by saving our own bodies movement makes us human it connects us to our higher self movement is life you might say this is not for me but you have a body [Music]

right you know what to do [Music] [Music] e
