Five years strong

It has been a while since I posted anything on the Blog page, and I apologise for that, my intention is now to continue again with the monthly club updates and when important or interesting events come up, then to post also.


First and foremost, in March the club had its five year anniversary, this for myself was an amazing milestone as when I look back to the first two nioghts I really wondered if it was worth it. well five years later and and with the dedication to improvement I see in front of me makes the answer a resounding yes it was the right decision.


I is also a new chapter in the clubs life, after training in martial arts there comes a time (usually after five or six years) that a student will loosen from their sensei and push away more on their own, to learn to improve the art, for myself I was never truly confident and so found that I was always reluctant to make that move.


But at the start of May, made the decision that it was the right time, and now we can truly focus on what I see as an undiluted martial way, attempting to preserve what is the true essence of Budo, removing ourselves from the impossible to avoid politics and machinations of alignment with an organisation. Just allowing us the freedom to keep what we have been taught, and to discuss in a mature way the rights and wrongs of what all the masters did differently, and to understand why there are so many different variations upon the same techniques.


In essence we will be accepting others teaching as correct, but with the understanding that it will be put under proper scrutiny with all aspects of historical accuracy.


But with this acceptance that we continue with the traditional bearing as taught by all of the masters and lineages that we have had the privilege to learn from, then so to will we afford ourselves the luxury that we will expand our knowledge though the development of our kae-waza technique and understanding of the omote and ura in all things, the ying and yang, masculine and feminine the life and the death.


On a final note our club handbook has arrived and we will all go through this and check that it ticks the boxes we require before going on general sale, also as a side note, the intention to make this book the first in a club collection of harback books all dealing with different aspects of our beautiful art will hopefully becomes a reality also.


Speak soon, without anguish.
