An update, as it has been a while.

A must needed update Hello everyone! I have just realised that this website has not had an update since 2020! Wow, sorry about that. Lots of things happening, hopefully you will understand. Bo classes are no more, I am…

Very true.

Kihon 基本
When the visiting instructor has to return to Kihon because no one practices enough Kihon, it’s a message very loud and clear to everyone. What are instructors teaching their students in their own dojo? It starts with your Kamae 構. Nagato sensei said he used to sweat by just standing in the mirror trying to perfect his Kamae. Noguichi Sensei commenced Ten Chi Jin Ryaku no Maki 天地人略の巻 classes some years ago at Honbu because of the lack of Kihon seen in visiting students. As Shidoshi, this is our responsibility in our own countries. This is our job. This is what they are expecting of us. If you don’t have good enough Kihon, your Henka 変化 will be weak and have no substance or bone. Henka is Kihon. It’s obvious who understands this and who doesn’t in mind,body and spirit 心技体.
Respect your Sensei and the art you are practicing to master. Just 道 it.

Entering the Dōjō, you must be prepared for pain. If you don’t want to experience discomfort and want to stay in your comfort zone, don’t come. Martial arts is pain. If anyone says you can learn Budô without discomfort to your entire being, they themselves don’t understand the martial path.
Martial arts is fighting. You are learning the arts of mortal combat with and without weapons. To think you can learn without experiencing pain turns it into a mere solo dance or exercise with a partner.
It’s only through blood,sweat and tears that you will come to understand the heart of the martial artist. If you are not prepared to accept this, it’s better that you do not come to the Dōjō. If you understand and accept this, your training will become enjoyable as you develop the mind,body and heart of the martial artist.
It’s important that you understand the context here. Pain is not only physical, but the pain of feeling awkward,weak,fragile etc. Growth in Budô comes from personal challenge. Your teacher and partners are there to help you confront, w**d out, and overcome your weaknesses. This itself can be hard and painful on the ego, as well as the body.
Budô is tanren ( forging the mind,body and spirit ).
If you don’t understand, than go to the Dōjō and train.

🇬🇧 KOFUKU NO SHIORI 鼓腹の栞
The way to experience ultimate happiness is to let go of all worries and regrets and know that being happy is the most satisfying of life's feelings. Reflect back on all the progress in your life and allow the positive, creative and joyous thoughts to outshine and overwhelm any sorrow or grief (bitterness) that may be lingering there in the recesses of your mind. Knowing that disease and disaster are a natural part of life, the key to overcoming adversity is with a calm spirit. Happiness is waiting there in front of you. Only you can decide whether or not you choose to experience it, take this to heart!

🇮🇹 KOFUKU NO SHIORI 鼓腹の栞
Il modo per sperimentare la felicità ultima è quello di lasciare andare tutte le preoccupazioni e rimpianti e sapere che essere felici è il più soddisfacente dei sentimenti della vita. Riflettere sul passato, su tutti i progressi nella propria vita, consente ai pensieri positivi, creativi e gioiosi di eclissare e sopraffare un dolore o amarezza che può essere persistente lì nei recessi della mente. Sapendo che le malattie e le catastrofi sono una parte naturale della vita, la chiave per superare le avversità è con uno spirito calmo. La felicità sta aspettando lì d fronte a te. Solo tu puoi decidere se scegliere di sperimentarla, prendi questo a cuore!
