people that don't understand will never understand unless they practice the art and find a way within themselves to understand what makes a man like this see value in what the art is and how it makes you over time as you slowly learn and get better more proficient at other things with your mind and your body that is impossible to relate to anybody who does not practice the arts to find that inner perfection he is talking about even 20 percent teaches you to look for and thirst for the rest.

@theblacksashman

Did you ever experienced Iwama Ryu or/and Yoshinkan Aikido?

[MrAnguloA]

OK, I'm guessing BLACKSASHMAN has some kind of mental disorder. He sounds like a prisoner I was guarding at a mental hospital.

[theblacksashman]

Jesus said 'For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb' so getting the crucifix out whenever you see the rainbow flag is sad indeed, but that there are so many of these 'eunuchs' in New Age martial arts should raise an eyebrow.

[theblacksashman]

That Aikido is all fart with no poo is not really a revelation either, that the testosterone depleted New Age prefers rhetoric and sugar coating over any substance is hardly surprising (anything less and you are a meanie of sorts). As long as you have a New Age buddy tonguing your ear or patting your back you will want to stay where you are. It is suggested that those who do so will find this increasingly uncomfortable. Cowardice, 'Partaking in the sins' and self deception are not easy.

[theblacksashman]

We may also recognise that simple farmers excelling in Budo over thier desk bound counterparts is hardly a revelation. That these men and women had a more developed bodily life rather than jerking off into thier own brains (although from a Daoist perspective this is not a bad thing). Some cerebrum bound New Agers may be surprised to find they even have a body, the cosmos right under thier nose. The guy who wakes up, hears the birds then lifts some logs, easier for him.

[theblacksashman]

We sometimes forget that the Asian martial writings and artists can be geared to send people of the scent and (dare I say it) particularly those of caucasian denomination. Piddle taking of the white man is as old as the hills as anyone who has got there arse of blighty will know. Why not? The 'root races' may be galaxies apart in some ways, but with much to share, you think there won't be some hardball played? Luckily more and more people are becoming educated.

[theblacksashman]

If your IS training makes you more stable, more mindful of bodily processes etc how can that not be useful for sports? It may be a question of relativity and (yuck) purity in that there will always be those who take parts of a good concept and use it to run up a hill as much as those who will become bearers of a system in all its aspects, this is what I respect about the Asian systems. Both types of people are required and ok.
