(Menkyo Kaiden of Daito Ryu Aiki Bujutsu)
Max Roy, became a student our recommendation. Somebody recommended him as a teacher and someone recommended him as a student. We could say it was "Karma" accept a student but not limited to the decision of a moment. The first step a student takes to enter a dojo, it just means you are allowed to leave their shoes at the entrance, the process begins later. It has more to do with the character of the student, whose physical presence in the Dojo. For maximum Roy was just that. There is no better way to describe the formation of character than by quoting a phrase Budoka teacher Yasuhiro Ichikawa: "It is the constant flow of water in the river, which transforms the rough stone polished pebbles."
Spirit a Budoka not formed by adding things, but reducing the superfluous, inappropriate, as if carved in marble. If the fiber interior, if the center is correct, the result is good, but it is, is regrettable.
There are many reasons that motivate a person to learn martial arts, but very few of those reasons remain, once a person discovers that the true Budo and realizes that the worst opponent who looks at him face to face from the other side of the mirror, nothing stays the same, recognizing that awakens the spirit and transforms the character. The strong keep your eyes open and their spirits grow. The weak close their eyes or look away and all the knowledge they receive becomes arrogance, which poisons the mind and destroys the value and dignity of learning. But when a sincere Budoka is the first time in the right way, it recognizes and knows he has come to the right path.
Budo not respond to common logic. If a Budoka can list ten reasons why the martial arts practice and is able to describe a list of the benefits it provides, in general these expressions are more rational than logical. A real Budoka approaches the Budo and remains in the more affinity of spirit that by logic or necessity. The real Budoka activated at the moment he opens his eyes when he wakes up and Budo is so necessary for him to breathe, it would be easier to forget his name be forgotten that is Budoka only person who feels he can truly understand these words, however.
When a new student enters the dojo, it always does with his empty glass, but some see offered himself as a student genuinely poured everything in it and offers it back to the teacher refill, according to their own opinion and if this is an offer made with modesty and without expectations.
When a student reaches the Dojo mediocre attitude is like Ryu or questions to the teacher: What can you give me so I know if it's worth I get in? But the attitude of a true student is expressed differently, says what he says: What I can offer myself to deserve to be allowed to enter? The student mediocre technical ambition by the dozen. The student gives real value and appreciate each one, one by one. More reveals the value of a Budoka in the sincerity of the slope that runs as an expression of respect, that in the execution of their techniques and this is perceived very well at the end of this process. Therein lies the difference. So the student defines himself and so each teacher discovers which is the fiber of the student and if you put the center that defines the true Budoka.
In each of these circumstances, Max Roy opted for the right ones and that is what explains its acceptance and growth Ryu Budo and why today, has the knowledge, responsibility and privilege of being a teacher of Daito Ryu. Its efforts in spreading and strengthening of Daito Ryu in Cuba have been more than satisfactory, have been exceptional, commendably appreciated, and have led the praise of Ichikawa Sensei, in more than one occasion, to our satisfaction.
recognize that their students share the merit of their efforts and good results, but emanates from him as a teacher by example. True Budo
has nothing to do with violence or aggression, not the cult of personality, not to accumulate medals and moments of glory, on the contrary, "nasake," which means compassion or kindness, is the first virtue of Budo and its first and most important contribution to society. The more predominant, rudeness and cynicism, more is required of the nobility of true Budo and more is required of teachers who are able to accept it in word and example the right way.
If we should ask Roy Maximum describe, we could do with just one sentence: "Nichia I KORE DOJO" Life is a dojo. For budoka true, in that sentence and all said.
