The Ireland seminar has come to a close and I feel that it was a great success. As usual, the atmosphere and people are second to none. I truly feel that what they have created in Ireland is an excellent example to the global Bujinkan ...… Read MoreTag: Japan training

The “No” theme of this year is developing into a truly binding concept. Soke has made reference on several occasions to the study of the various ryuha with no attachment to form incorporating the idea of the rope/string/thread. ...… Read More才能魂器 sainou tamashi utsuwa

This years theme is taijutsu with the feeling of rope, and also a little sword. It is still early to tell how the year will continue, I was there the first two weeks and it will of course change. It is stupid to think you can get the whole thing in just two weeks. As soke so often says, “nothing is decided.” We should go along with what is given by the gods or spirits, not steal techniques or take something that is not given. If you train slowly and correct you should be able to sense what uke is giving you, if you go to fast your ego is directing you and you will not be able to see and use what is given to you.
Enlightenment can be found in three places. Under your feet, up in the space (heaven), and written on your eyelids. It is as simple as that.

Soke asked us to spread the word that it is ok to send in donations for the new honbu dojo. I would suggest that each dojo-cho will collect money and donate it in the name of respective dojo.…
