Martial Arts
I have been very lucky to have great martial arts teachers that were open minded in their studies and have encouraged us to do the same. Many teachers would cut down their students in front or behind their backs for wanting to explore and ask the tough questions about martial arts and life. The sign of a great teacher is one who is tough-minded but at the same time has open heart to letting the students grow. Thank you Mr. Hayes and your teacher, Mr. Hatsumi.

I was working on kenjutsu last week and was moving with my training partner changing kamae (position based on what my spirit is sensing in relation to a changing environment). This requires the mind and body to stay sharp, because if your mind floats for one moment you could be in over your head. A good starting place on how not to get in over your head is “Stay in the moment, not before or after.”
