The mind is in a constant state of conflict with the body and spirit. If you can create distance from your mind, you can better battle your thoughts, which are often the obstacle to the achievement of magokoro ??, or pure mind.
As stated before, “the biggest battle is within”, and this battle is always with [...]

I would like to draw everyone’s attention to the growing blog of local resident Buyu Paul Masse.
I have always felt that Paul has achieved a level of internalization of Soke’s Budo and teachings that is inspiring. Paul has been here training as long as I can remember, and he is not as well known as [...]

Last Sunday at Hombu training, I asked Soke to write the Characters for “Fudo Myo”, but changing the last character ? to the Character ?,meaning mysterious. I thought given this year’s theme that this was a clever expression and deep play on words.
Soke clearly noticed my attempt to play with words, as he often does, [...]

Soke often tells us that what he is doing is not something that can be taught. After many years trying to recreate his movement and somehow misunderstanding the meaning of the above message, I have given up, allowing for the following realization. It cannot be done, and Soke is telling the truth. [...]

Recently, I was fortunate enough to be invited by Soke to attend his writer’s guild monthly party. At this event, I was surrounded by several artists, writers and various other creative types. It was an admirable experience to socialize with Soke outside of the typical Bujinkan event and learn more about this environment [...]

The Bujinkan has been popular with the media these days.
Recently CBS news visited the Hombu for an interview with Soke and to film the training.

I?m not one for Bujinkan commercialism and I don?t think my good friend Alex Meehan is either, but when in Ireland he had one of his students filmed the training. In result, Alex has put together a very nice DVD of the training from those 2 days in Ireland, including the first night of training [...]

When I was younger, I was basically a perfectionist. I wanted all things to be perfect. I can remember times that I expended tremendous energy attempting to keep things in perfect order.
Then naturally, as I matured and developed in life an in Budo, I was able to see that actually imperfection dominates and [...]

The book is out in some areas and the comments are coming in, and therefore I?m inspired to write this post in response to some of the comments and questions and unfortunate misconceptions.
To some, this book is a lifeline for training, hopefully answering all the questions about the secrets of Budo Taijutsu. However, if you [...]
