Magritte of Karate

I think it is very important now to remind that Jean-Claude have belgium roots, because if you really think about it, it is the key to fully understand who (what) he is.

Jean-Claude is not doing karate only when he is acting or when he is practicing at gym, no, Jean-Claude is also doing karate when he is speaking, and it is very beautiful to see him fighting with words, and with himself.

All Jean-Claude said until nowadays proves he is in the belgium tradition of surrealist art. Yes, Jean-Claude is the first surrealist karateka ever been. You just have to replace the title of every Jean-Claude's films by "This is not Karate" and subtitle his interviews by "This is karate".

If you still have any doubt on jean-Claude's surrealist performance, just read the following quote about "moment"

"Je crois au moment. S'il n'y a pas le moment, à ce moment-là, il faut arriver à ce moment-là, au moment qu'on veut." JCVD

irrefutable...

The importance of non-verbal

Once you have read this post, you will think it is obvious that Jean-Claude's quotes are also applicable to FLE studies. The following quote is about kinesthesia.

"Animals do not talk. They talk with "du sentiment", but they do not have any language for our fears. On the other hand, there is a lot of touch and eye contact (contacts with the eyes) , some really sincere thing; and to developp myself with animals around me really did help me a lot. Here, there is a dog beside me rignt now, and I am stroking (caressing) him."

" Les animaux ne parlent pas. Ils "parlent" (avec du "feeling"), mais ils n'ont pas de langage pour nos "trouilles" à nous. En revanche, il y a beaucoup de toucher et de contacts des yeux, des choses vraiment sincères; et ça m'a vraiment beaucoup aidé que de me développer avec des animaux autour de moi. Là, j'ai un chien en ce moment à côté de moi et je le caresse." JCVD

If it is possible to teach dogs how to order burgers at the fast-food, it is possible to teach it to someone who doesn't know a word of French. You just have to learn to use your body, your face's expression, your eyes, "le sentiment" in order to make people understand you.

How to customize the blog?

I would like to customize the blog but there is no "layout tab" on the dashboard, like on this picture.

How can I change the template?

Everyone is gay

I said in a comment that I will talk about the relation between Jean-Claude and language learning/teaching. Let's begin by the intercultural stuff.

This may be a good authentic document we could use for the course of Mrs Barbot about intercultural. It's a very good exemple of openness.

After that, you won't look at the others the same way, especially dwarf painters.

Jean-Claude is an humanist, so as we are human, we should be vandammist! Don't be afraid to like beautiful things, whatever it is.

Liko Van Damme

This is my daughter Liko who is a big fan of Jean-Claude too. On this picture, she's trying to do like her idol : a "grand écart facial" (sorry, someone could translate this for me, please? David! HELP!!). She has a pretty flexible body, so I think she will succeed soon. Daddy is proud of you, "Pupuce"!!
