Countless are the times when we felt the rigor conflicts that revolve around individuals with insulting accusations intended to be allowed to receive "the teachings served in a dish according to your tastes, with a total unconditional, for a price as a meal in a restaurant." Its foundations erroneous and lacking a sound and logical reasoning, show their total ignorance of what really teach in a dojo where you supposed to learn and train the ancient and traditional martial arts "Ko Ryu Bujutsu."
Even more regrettable is the fact that students who are accepted as members of our dojo, spent some time holding practices leave unfavorable criteria discover their weak spirits of self-indulgence and weakness of character. His angry nuanced theories of theatrical performance plunge into whiny melodramatic exclamations such as: "Are modern times in which we do not have to cling to outdated codes of conduct of medieval Japan, besides that stupid teacher is very tough and demanding, we need some freedoms. "
But we know very well which "freedoms" they refer, and we also know that if that same group of people are meeting at a gym and are taught only the technical part of art, which logically originated from the same, as in medieval Japan, they would not express the slightest protest. If a similar way as to affect or instruct them to harm others, or as dramatically walked away from a possible attack, executed by a criminal carrying a sharp weapon, or if they themselves finally join us to make technical executions "never seen" surrounded by a large audience applauded and cheered as the same arena of the Roman circus, we would be sure that none of these students would reject the offer but on the contrary they feel comfortable and up to admire the great effectiveness that have the strategy and our style technique. In this way we would be lifted and not even they would contradict the students, not us, who instruct and teach.
This is a good catalyst for any instructor spirits as we want to teach Bujutsu Ryu Ko.
Advocates "freedoms" and criticize us, just get even convince more of their latent fears, because these codes of conduct that they criticize and reject, are exactly the same as the wisest teach principles that limit their desire to kill stupid , to appear arrogant to others to obtain personal benefits that enhance its uncontrollable egotism and refute their filthy cynicism and sarcasm to the noble traditions, culture, ethics and discipline of Bujutsu.
far we have wanted to make a preamble to make the first step on the long road that leads to knowing what the real cause of teaching Ko Bujutsu Ryu these days here in our "Bushin Dōjō."
start explaining again that the instruction and practice of true Bujutsu, requires extreme discipline and flawless body and mind, very difficult, so yes, to accept in these times we live. A selected number of students may be one that truly abides by the right path and be able to accept and comply with strict codes ethical and moral behavior that their styles demand, we teach what we are taught, and what they have taught for many centuries an unblemished spirit masters, whose names are contained in a legendary and historical style family genealogy. We have no right, nor intend, to change, or adapt anything to the personal comfort of each student. Thus in the Dojo in relative anonymity, wearing our Keikogi (standard practice) every day teach, learn and form the spirit (Seichin Tanren), which we know our weaknesses and our strengths. Without pursuing, rank, ribbons, but holding firmly rooted in the heart the yearning that someday we really appreciate as teachers, not what you know but by what we broadcast, without any fear, teach others this legacy is our first case, there are many reasons for this. We would be traitors to our Ryu accomplished if we let at least not a prolific seed, better than what we planted in our respected teachers. This is undoubtedly a continuous and never-ending struggle for us all, since learner Ko Bujutsu Ryu must ask yourself every day, whether it is worthy to receive the instruction of art practice, since it is a very great privilege to be instructed in a art that is not ours by inheritance. Each member must earn to be worthy of each principle and each technique, for it should never take lightly the teachings of his master, or judge, and even criticize it, creating negative splits in every heart of those who comprise the membership of the dojo.
traditional Bujutsu The student must make a decision for life to arrive at the dojo, and made through it. He must learn and engage in Ryu with the same intensity with which delivery devoutly to his other vocations. For example, if he were an artist surely would all spiritual energies at the precise moment which has slid his brush on the canvas to get the picture desired in this way with the same subtlety he must make every effort to learn on the mat, with a similar attitude must learn to handle the sword in the dojo and even better, outside it, brush bar and then define a single artist.
in a dojo where we teach traditional Bujutsu, classified students are not allowed among us as "Niwatari Komon No" because they are unfit to show their breasts (on the lapel of their uniforms) our precious "Mon" (family crest style ) because their purposes and personal priorities to arrive at the dojo are totally opposed to the noble virtues we teach, because our best advice is: When you enter a dojo, stay out and to reaffirm that cite Ichikawa Soke's words: "Better a diamond shattered a stone untouched." Thus there is no purpose to keep the Dōjō individuals who do not have the best attitudes, which we can not even trust his words. Of course it always appears in their excuses for disloyalty and dishonor.
New generations of students of traditional martial arts should reflect and not be absorbed by the folly, to relinquish his duties and debts of gratitude as budokas Ko Bujutsu Ryu as we learn and teach today in its purest expression is a endless way to humiliate the spirit, rebellious and vain that we have generated in us at every step in the transit of our human existence, through their practice honestly have the option to train and submit no claim of supreme pride and sincere love that emanates the center of our hearts crying out with powerful echoes the true essence of the parcel of man on earth and hard and difficult work hard against any ordeal in his short life, that is in harmony with the entire universe provide comfort to others and give you the peace that he hopes such faith. It is also, like many other ways is a worthy way in which a man without being religious, you can find in this world the true face of God.
teach well and we hope that this is understood as Bujutsu is contrary to negative feelings such as pride, hatred, vice, vulgarity, rudeness, etc. pursue the values \u200b\u200bobtained with "Shugyo Shin" are, first, keep intact the rich history of the most precious and subtle human virtues, which in our view, and many more people remain current today, but quite the opposite, are more necessary than ever in a world as we have been taught that religion is practiced more cynicism and humanity with their large donation of injustice and indifference, as the water tends to run to the lowest places.
to a dojo where we intend no other real reason to transmit the teachings of Bujutsu, students should aim to find the ultimate aim of transferring the Tori, a place where they can find the formula to live loving and helping each one other. As taught in "Nisshinkan" Aizu clan "MizuIrazu" They (students) should never compare the dojo with a "gym" and that there are enormous differences between them, this misunderstanding is a major cause of rejection that they tend to have to the traditional teachings.
In a gym, do not exist not teach or require ethical behavior, not breathe a true harmony, this is just a room where you can be (through the practice of forms of combat) uneducated individuals, murderers, egocentric, narcissistic and devoid of the most basic concepts of discipline and ethics.
in a dojo teach and practice codes and rules that every student not only to memorize, but internalize the depths of his spirit, to be applied in every moment of your life. As an ambassador of our style, examples of these rules of conduct are established by Kyu Ho (arc method) of the family of the Minamoto clan (after the Aizu clan) cited in some of its headings:
"A pupil who has a true spirit after his blade clean in the eyes of his teacher and twice at home."
"Voice makes no prying ears measured in enemies."
"When the fish starts to rot your bad smell in our nostrils as advertised, when the nature of a man begins to deteriorate his foul language as noted in our ear."
"The samurai who seeks break from their duties in Sake and dance, is loyal to sake and dance. Not the clan. If a samurai finds no solace in his duties, has lost his way. " etc. We could continue quoting
many other more, but more enough, so with this offer, reflection, analysis and comparison of those people who criticize us because we teach traditional Bujutsu. Bujutsu is to look with subtle heat the spirit of man, not attack, or kill, as it tries to show. Tanomo Saigo, Aizu clan priest expressed it clearly showing what the correct way to learn, he wrote: "Cultivate your spirit and the sword will follow, neglect your spirit and the sword will become false and shameful."
"When searching for a man to teach the art of war, but love those who choose peace."
remains now, honestly, define who errs, if the virtues and principles Ko Ryu Bujutsu broadcasting or great ignorance and unreasonable fear of those who criticize our art, new seeds have the responsibility of students sitting astride on their shoulders to define it, depends on them bury these values \u200b\u200bthat humanity needs both, or impregnate the future of moral impoverishment, a practitioner must know how to climb Bujutsu divinely tall and dignified, taking its first firm step in the lower base of the slope. Our statement does not differ at all from this.
