Finding peace and meaning in movement

Often time the great sages spoke about doing without doing, seeing without seeing and being without being. However, many times individuals will take that to heart and won't act or practice their forms as needed. The most prominent lesson here is that while stillness is the practice, there is always movement. Actual non-movement leads to rigor mortise in which no life escapes you. To pull that away from the superficial and ideological, I would like to begin with this question.

What is your Nindo?

Hello dear members,

Today I was speaking with someone about joy and I thought that you would benefit from this thought, so here it comes. :)

We often get sucked in by the daily task and things that need to happen for survival. I mean, when was the last time you saw someone sat in traffic and smiling with extreme joy? It is a rare sight.

Thus we must approach it for what it is in both foresight and hindsight.

I hired tons of coaches, mentors, trainers, masters and the like to see where or what may have triggered me to make the choices I...

The 3 Levels To A Warriors Mindset: Part 2

Hello everyone,
Today we will be discussing with you how to use your mind as an anchor instead of an accelerant when processing thoughts through your day. The process is named Mu Shin.

Mu Shin means ‘Mind Without Mind,’ or the state of No Mind. Mu Shin is a state of spontaneity that allows immediate action without conscious thought. “Mu” means “emptiness.” The mind is empty in the sense that it is void of fear, anger, worries and various other...
