Summary
In this episode, Brendan Meyers is joined by the modern Shaolin himself, Matt Jane.
Today, they discuss what it's like to live as a Shaolin monk in 2023, embracing western and Chinese culture, living a life as a super dad, and his journey from being a martial art fan kid to a modern Shaolin monk.
Key Takeaways from this Episode:
Matt Jane is living proof that we can all live our dreams. As a young boy in London, He was fascinated by martial arts. He grew up fanning Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li. Years later, many people did not think MJ was serious about pursuing his goals, so when he was 16 and had a chance to fly to China and learn Shaolin, he instantly took it. He embraced Chinese culture and did not let racism win over his dream.
After successfully learning Shaolin, MJ returned to London, built his temple, and taught martial arts. He became a dad, and his 13-year-old boy now practices Shaolin with him.
Despite winning in life, many still question MJ regarding his “Shaolin monk” status and credibility. To him, Shaolin is not about ethnicity and culture; it’s about finding peace in your day-to-day life, and balancing yourself mentally, spiritually, and physically. That way, you can reach your full potential.
