JAPANESE SWORDSMANSHIP
In our fast-paced and ever-changing world, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle of opportunities, appointments and timetables. The need for a total health program is great.
For many of us, aerobic classes and weight training do not have the depth to offer insight into our own inner selves. Inside each of us is where motivation and passion for life originate. Tapping into that center and expanding our awareness is essential to gaining a clearer understanding of our individual path in this complex world. We are constantly distracted by our divided selves. Until we focus fully on the task or duty ahead of us, our duty is to be the best we can be.The study of swordsmanship improves one's skills of balance, coordination of mind and body, and increases awareness of detail.
WHY WE TRAIN:
Practice in the art of the sword is to refine and discipline our spirit.OUR GOALS THROUGH TRAINING:
Annei Chitsujo - Peace and order in all we do.
Anshin Ritsumei - Spiritual peace, enlightenment and calm resignation to fate. Anshin Ritsumei also means controlling our fear through the calm acceptance of circumstances.WHY TRAINING WITH THE SWORD IS SO UNIQUE:
It is an instrument of great beauty, as well as a weapon used in striking down oppressors, thereby giving life to those who are oppressed. Because training leads to the use of real swords, this art form requires most sincere training. The powers of focus and concentration will be developed to the fullest. As focus and concentration improve, we are placed more closely to our inner selves. This harmony of mind, body and spirit expands to harmony with and awareness of our environment.
