Two things i was looking for in this video. One was the very common and repetitive situation where dojos split up and become splinter groups. The rise of mixed styles to what MMA is today. And, number two, which would be how easy it was for people to proclaim themselves as a teacher. The hustle of martial arts. How do know the person teaching you really does nnow their stuff.

The part where you're talking about naming a Dojo and using Japanese: Last night had a person interested in joining and she came to try out a class. After the class I asked her "What about Aikido are you interested in?" And she said "Oh, how do you say it?" She didn't know the pronunciation of Aikido. So yeah, we forget there are people out there that have almost zero knowledge of what we are doing.

Budo. We are all training like a stone in time it becomes a mirror. The Caterpillar struggles and accepts his place but in time he becomes a butterfly Zen buddhism taught me experience by doing Carl young. The shadow we all have this it's the angry side of us. We must accept it to become authentic Nietzsche. Authenticity is accepting your dark side. Sensei Fuyura said. True victory is self victory. We must accept or dark side and know it to be authentic. Agatsu matsu.

Sensei's, Thank you for your podcast. I really enjoy learning and listening to it because of the wisdom, experience and stories you share. I have an observation for your consideration. One of you, constantly interrupts whomever is speaking. It's been going on since the podcasts beginning. As a listener, its very distracting and injures the show's flow. It makes the conversation feel rushed to a conclusion that the interrupted speaker often gets to on their own eventually. I hope this observation helps make your show better and more successful. Thank you.
