🗣️On Saturday 24th, I hosted a presentation on the chapter "Decoding The Meaning Of Language" from my newest, philosophical book "What Are These Wandering Thoughts?" The group was the most interactive I ever had. We got the chance to philosophise for about an hour based on our diverse perspectives on multiple subjects such as language, cultures, AI, power and politics💬

🏠Huge thanks to @evitaevida for organising the event and @nee_ii_ for providing the space🙏

🥋For almost a decade I trained in multiple traditional martial arts, combat sports and self-defence systems. For some of them, I even reached a senior level, assisting my teachers. However, I never had the chance to start a Japanese style and always wanted that. They say: "when the student is ready, the teacher will be there." I guess that's right👌⚪In 2025, I wore once again a white belt and joined the advanced group of @koei_kan_karate style to experience it at the highest level. This dojo is a place where everyone is treated with respect, traditional Okinawan/Japanese values and etiquette are taught, along with the old and modern fighting techniques 🇯🇵🟡Thanks to the constant support and guidance of my Sensei and Senpais, I'm welcoming 2026 with the Shichi Kyu (yellow-belt) rank. Osu!🙇

Για να έχουμε πρόοδο σαν είδος και να στοχεύουμε πιο ψηλά πρέπει να αντιλαμβανόμαστε τι μηνύματα μας προωθούν, να έχουμε την ελευθερία λόγου και έκφρασης, και να είμαστε σταθεροί σε σημαντικές αξίες.

I recently bought a few martial art products from @clothingartmartial and I cannot recommend them enough. They fit exceptionally and the fabric is top quality, which makes them perfect for training or as casual clothing. Best of all, the designs are beautiful, exactly what I was looking for my various training styles🥋
°
Whether I'm wearing the golden Tao t-shirt to train the Wing Chun #taolu or Taiji sword #drills, whether I'm wearing the pink Osu t-shirt to train Karate #kata, or whether I'm wearing the bonzai with Miyamoto Musashi's quote t-shirt to train FMA espada y daga #carenza to pay homage to Musashi's dual-bladed fighting style. On top of that, the shorts are minimalistic and comfortable for any martial art or fitness training ☯️⛩️
°
P. S. They didn't sponsor me (although I wouldn't mind getting more merch from them😜). I just like promoting quality products who have the practitioner in mind first. Osu! 💯
