“It takes a long time of watching the animal before you can say what it is doing; it takes a long time to learn how to watch. This point is raised, deferentially but repeatedly, in encounters with Eskimos. They are uneasy, they manage to say, about the irrevocability of decisions made by people who are not sensually perceptive, not discriminating in these northern landscapes, not enthusiastic about long-term observations.”
-BARRY LOPEZ, Arctic Dreams
Edward Yu is a writer, former competitive runner/triathlete, and perennial student of Grandmasters Li Xueyi and Ge Guoliang in the art of Bagua. In addition to studying traditional Chinese martial arts and Feldenkrais (graduating from the Manhattan 1 Training in 2002), he has sampled enough boxing, kickboxing, and judo to know that sometimes it’s better to run for your life. He currently specializes in running, martial arts, strength training, physical rehabilitation, and injury prevention.
Edward has taught in various locales in the US, Europe, and China, and worked with a variety of people including Olympic athletes, professional dancers and martial arts instructors. His publications include: Slowing Down Faster: A Sense-able Approach to Movement (North Atlantic, 2020); The Mass Psychology of Fittism: Fitness, Evolution, and the First Two Laws of Thermodynamics (Undocumented Worker Press, 2015); and The Art of Slowing Down: A Sense-able Approach to Running Faster (Panenthea, 2010).
Like his favorite early 20th Century Polish-German dissident, he feels at home wherever there are clouds and birds and human tears.
关于Edward Yu 杨绪老师
“观察动物需要很长时间，你才能说出它在做什么;学会如何观看需要很长时间。在与爱斯基摩人的接触中，这一点被反复并且谦逊地公认。但他们很难与那些没有感官洞察力的、对北境自然环境没有辨别能力的、对长期观察不感兴趣的容易下武断的结论的人对话。”

Tal como a sua dissidente polaca-alemã favorita do início do século XX, Edward sente-se em casa onde quer que haja nuvens, pássaros e lágrimas humanas.
