Martial Arts, Philosophy and Wellness!

Hello, my name is Khonsura and I am a Primal Wellness coach and martial artist. My blogs teach specific elements about a wellness mindset, physical fitness, creative play, and self-cultivation to guide you on a balanced path to lifelong health. Like many, I have had specific health challenges that came with overextended living and overtraining. Despite my attempts to maintain balance among my numerous roles and activities, I eventually began to experience chronic fatigue, stress, and sickness.

Determined to solve my energy problem, I attempted to improve my food choices, moving from omnivore eating to primarily plant-based. Unable to move the needle on my energy, I decided to try Paleo eating and Primal lifestyle modification at the recommendation of a friend. Consequently, over a few months, I improved my energy and increased my immunity. I also improved my body composition, losing 15 pounds of excess fat and inflammation, which caused me to hold extra water.

Within a year of eating Paleo and maintaining a Primal lifestyle, which included adequate rest, recovery, and sleep, the fatigue disappeared, helping me become a better martial artist.

My wellness path and journey continue today, and I want to share my experiences and education to help you achieve optimal health and lifelong wellness. I also explore the intersection of martial arts and Taoist living. I’ve been practicing martial arts for over 25 years and studying Taoist philosophy for even longer. I’ve always found a connection between the two, as both emphasize the importance of cultivating balance, discipline, and self-improvement.

Through my blog, I hope to offer a unique perspective on wellness and self-cultivation, drawing upon the wisdom of the Daoist tradition and offering practical advice and exercises to help you apply these principles to your own life. Each week, I will dive into a different topic related to martial arts, self-cultivation, and wellness, sharing my own experiences and insights. Periodically, I’ll do some book reviews, answer some readers’ questions, and feature conversations with special guests from time to time.

So be sure to tune in weekly and send in your feedback. I feel excited to share my journey with you, and I hope you’ll find something valuable, practical, inspirational, and inspiring in each blog. Talk to you again soon.

Stay INSPIRED and INSPIRATIONAL!
