Understanding Fear, Function, and Conscious Programming in Classical Samurai Martial Arts

This is in response to a question at our annual Gathering of the Clan in regards to conscious programming. Our normal, fear based, fight-flight programming does not allow higher physical, mental, and spiritual function. What is the process for programming for superior function that is the basis of high level Samurai martial arts? This talk gives some insight into that process.

Someone get this man the right microphone so we can hear the jewels he drops.

[@Katana-Karl]

Agreed. Every video you can hardly hear him. He is soft spoken and a clip on mic would really help

i Have recently came across your videos and instructions to martial arts and how to hold and carry knifes i like the realistic approach you talk about these things especially Japanese knifes. Iv recently been wanting to practice self defense with edged weapons i wish more people on youtube knew about you.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

Thank you.

[@Ak-47wizard]

@@SystemOfStrategy your welcome. you are a great instructor and i will keep watching every video of your teachings. its funny how some of your older instruction videos from 11-16 years ago still play a part till this day like being aware of danger and things to carry and such forth. I would like to see some techniques against a double edged weapon or edge weapon vs blunt weapon.

You've reminded me of the *"Tripartite Analysis of Knowledge;"* that is, *Justified, True Belief* is necessary & sufficient for us to have knowledge of a postulated premise. The Tripartite Analysis of Knowledge: We possess knowledge of a postulated premise 🅿️ if, and only if: □ 🅿️ i s *TRUE* □ I *BELIEVE* 🅿️ □ I'm *JUSTIFIED* in believing that 🅿️

I like soft spoken "KILLAZ"🤣🤣🤣

I appreciate the content but the volume is far too low.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

it is not low on either of my computers.

[@raptor1combatives35]

@@SystemOfStrategy Interesting. For what it's worth, on my laptop at full volume your video is about 30% of other videos on YT. On the mobile app with my headphones on, you are at about 50% volume in relation to other videos. The content is outstanding. I always enjoy it. Thank you.

@@raptor1combatives35 I have tried using a mic lately, hopefully that will help.
