     Recently, Soke has been talking about the evolution of war and how the proper study of Budo requires being in touch with the current times and how we must adapt this to our training.  Recently, there have been several … Continue reading

     At almost every training session with Soke we hear him say, ?I am not teaching form?, what I?m showing cannot be taught, it must be discovered for yourself in your own training?.  Then how can we learn?  What reference … Continue reading

The concept of self defense is growing everyday as our world expands virtually.  In order to truly understand the concept of self defense we need to develop an awareness of total space.  At times this can be somewhat overwhelming, but … Continue reading

Recently, I was lucky to sit next to Soke during his writing period at the Hombu.  In that period, a few things came to my realization about the Tachi as I watched quietly and intensely as Soke completed numerous paintings … Continue reading

Hello Doug, Congratulations for your blog, thank you very much for providing us and share, perspective and magic, the inspiration and wisdom of Soke?s words. Kind regards, Alberto Eguía.

Apologies Doug. A few moments ago I realised I have yours and Duncan's names mixed up. I am subscribed to both blogs. I blame the jet-lag. Gomen ne! ~ It was good to catch you this last fortnight. See you again soon! Best wishes

"Budo no Gokui" will cover the essential teachings of Sensei's martial arts. As Hatsumi Sensei has said, "The Gokui are elusive" - don't think that many people understand, even those holding high rank. Sensei himself said, "The certificate, even 10th degree, is no proof". Doug, I would say that even to keep going is not enough! Just continuing cannot guarantee we will find the essence. Sensei said, "Gokui is in a person's heart and his personal commitment. Prepare your heart, make it pure in the way that the Universe is pure--natural energy. Then your techniques will also be pure and from the heart."

I am looking forward to Soke's new book and I feel that your thoughts about the path being a unique one for everyone is true. Very thoughtful post!! Thank you and keep going!!

Your opinion about the 'secret' is something that I personally believe to be spot-on. I think that those of is in search of secrets will never find what they were looking for, and perhaps they would not know what they were looking for to begin with. Meanwhile, constantly training, challenging one's own ego and abilities, etc, seem to be very effective traits shared by my respective seniors in Budo, and in other aspects of life. Thank you for posting your opinion. Regarding the new book, I look forward to purchasing a copy when it becomes available. Cheers!
