Ido Portal Interview - London Real

At what age did you first discover this obsession, that you were so fascinated by the body and by movement?
I think it's some form of a tendency, maybe underneath the surface, that was always there. A few years ago, I did some genetic tests, and it was interesting to discover some of the mechanisms even installed on such a deep neurological level. This is what set me out in the beginning.
Then, the second important moment was the discovery, as a child, of the concept of training. Until that moment, I did not realize that you can actually get better at things. There was this aha moment, in the single digits: “Oh, if I'm not good at something, it's not the end of the world, I actually can get better at it.” Then, this became my mantra, a work ethic: I can be as good as I wish to be, all I need to do is to work at it.
From my experience, there are two driving forces, even at those ages. One driving force is your strength, your talents and your gifts. The other [forces] are driven by fear and phobia. My driving force was fear and [was] weaknesses-oriented. They became a lot more present than my gifts. They were occupying more of my consciousness. That meant that I have to work at it, to resolve those issues.
What advice might you give to someone who is more programmed to go towards their strengths? How would you advise them to orient themselves towards weakness or fear?
I definitely believe that we have a lot more discovery and growth offered in our weak points, where we struggle, where we are afraid. These are the points and the journeys that really take you the furthest, the things that you're most proud of in the end of the day. Even if you are strong at something. For example, sometimes I work with an athlete, and he's very gifted, but there are holes. In order to strengthen the whole chain, you just find the weak link-once you resolve that, the whole chain became stronger and you move to the next weak link.
When you're considering whether or not to take on new practice, what are some questions you ask yourself?
More often than not, it's related to fear, or a knee jerk reaction. “Why am I afraid of this? Why don't I want to do this?” That's the most crucial question that will orient me towards a new practice. The other can be, “Why am I not aware of this when this is happening?” It can be something that I'm doing well, but I'm doing it on automatic.

For example, breathing. People constantly say, we should learn how to breathe, and we have all kinds of breathing experts. My father is in his seventies and he never learned how to breathe, and he's fine. He's having a great life. It's totally ridiculous.
