Talking Pooh - A Discussion with Andy Gibney

Send us a text


Unified Fighting Systems founder, AG Martial Arts Centre owner,
therapist and author, Andy Gibney joins the show for a look back
at a childhood favourite. Taking the "Everything is Martial Arts"
concept in an interesting direction, we look at the gentle world
of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh and discuss its influence and
connections to martial arts. 

Far from living up to the moniker "a bear with very little
brain", Pooh might be a childhood gateway to critical thinking.
Whereas owl presents us with the model of the flawed teacher.
With fear being such an important area of understanding in
self-protection, Piglet provides a certain perspective. Meanwhile
Tigger and Eeyore provide us with opposite extremes of emotion
whilst also potentially showing the benefits of enthusiasm and
stoicism. There's a lot to unpack!
