Episode 18 explores the ego, defined as "the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity." We explore how we, as people who practice martial arts, understand and perceive ourselves. How does the understanding of ourselves affect our martial arts training? How does martial arts training affect our ego? We discuss the different angles of how we approach our egos, and apply these perspectives to martial arts training.
