#9: George Chung – Fall in Love with Martial Arts Again

“If you can embrace chaos and change, you can get greater focus, efficiency, and become more creative, because you have to figure out how to maneuver and get around the change, so you can take the negative and turn it into a positive. “ – George Chung

My guest this episode is George Chung, who is a Martial Artist, Businessman, Actor, Director and TV Show Producer.  He is currently the CEO of JungoTV and the creator of the Black Belt + App which is the world’s most complete platform for martial arts, it includes training videos, classic martial arts movies, and Black Belt Magazine issues digitally remastered and available for your phones and tablets.  Master Chung is a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame, a 5 Time world Karate Champion, former coach of the San Francisco 49ers, and an original member of Grand Master Ernie Reye’s Famous West Coast Demo Team.

This episode is all about embracing change and falling in love with martial arts.  We dive deep into the creation of success in our personal and professional lives.  My key takeaway is that if we can embrace change and chaos we can continue to grow and create.  People have difficulty dealing with change, because change creates uncertainty, and this leads to stress, fear, and anxiety.  Instead if we can embrace change, and learn to maneuver around it, we can then find the opportunity inside of chaos.  What I appreciate about Master Chung is his ability to understand himself, his teams, and his students.  He leads by example and fosters growth and creation by encouraging his students and teams to be explorers and discovers of truth.  I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and you like me will feel the love and passion for martial arts coming from his entire being.
