On Learning Koryu Budo Iseki Sensei and Fujita Sensei at the Yoshunkan in Osaka.

This morning at the Great Falls Budōkan, Rajguru Sensei led keiko.

In his way, he took a simple waza and drew from it the very best that those of us on the tatami had to offer. There is an intensity within Ittō Tenshin-ryū that is palpable and truly extraordinary to experience.

People often conflate the combative with the martial. They speak as though the two are interchangeable because they have no direct experience of what is martial.

Ittō Tenshin-ryū is a martial tradition, and its teachings are steeped in the reality of conflict.

The spirit of today’s keiko remains.
