Zen Master Kitabu/Zen-Powered Self Defense

After his satori in 1971, Vernon Kitabu Turner/Roshi discovered that he was able to act without thought and with uncanny wisdom and power. He was experiencing "mushin," or No-Mind, also called, "a mind like water." He has shared his understanding around the world. Aikido experts recognize in him what O Sensei, the founder called, "Aiki," spiritual harmony. The value of Kitabu Roshi is that his attainment proves the universal nature of the ancient teachings because he experiences awakening himself. His actions flow munnen muso...without thought or reflection.

Those people who disbelieve in power which is demonstrated through Master Kitabu Roshi,are just Mentally blocking their own Power which is Inside each of us... By the Way,I am not a Martial Artist,but a Professional Tennis Player.And Ive experienced that Power from Kitabu Roshi on myself. So My suggestian to everybody to be Open Minded about everything that you can't understand,because anything is possible,and maybe one day you could do Something like that also!

[KitabuRoshi]

You have understanding. We are each the offspring of the same reality most of us refer to as God, The Supreme, The Creator, et al. The essence of what we are does not differ but our preception or lack of it stifles our realization. I share to emphasize that we all have a treasure within us. It takes faith to bring it forth. Christ said that what HE did we could all do, and certainly that is far more than I show.

I read your book (Soul Sword) like 3 years ago and it realy change my life very much and I admire your enlightenment. I'm self-praticing to what description you've mention of exercises and the wisdoms. And I want to ask a question if I may: Can a man fly without wings?

[KitabuRoshi]

Thank you. Nothing is impossible when the conditions are correct. Man is far more than what we see in the mirror. In the meantime, I recommend a plane (smile). Awakening is not predictable nor subject to our whims We should not seek a specific power but practice musutoku, that is, meditate withot a conscious goal. To practice that way is to allow genuine restoration to occur.Special abilities are seductive but they are not the greatest gifts.

why master you don't go to valetudo competition to show mushin?

[KitabuRoshi]

That question is asked often. This is a gift of The Spirit used to help, teach or heal people. I cannot use it for the purpose of competition. Fighting is a contest of man against man, mind against mind. That is the opposite of my path. It is okay for those whose purpose is sports. That is not my purpose. Thanks for asking. Someone mentioned two days ago I would "clean-up" at the UFC. I will never know.

BE OPEN MINDED AND GO TO FIGHT BAS RUTTEN OR LEBANNER AND ACCEPT WITH OPEN MIND A NICE VIOLENT INSTANT KNOCK OUT...ALL HESE SEUDO MASTERS OF CHI GET TRASHED IN FRONT OF ANY STREETFIGHTER OR RING WARRIORS...COME ON. IF YOU TRAIN WITH THAT YOU LL GET KILLED IN A REAL LIFE SITUATION

STOP DREAMING GET REAL! SPIRITUAL AND CHI IS ONE THING

BEING AN IDIOT DREAMER IS ANOTHER...

Mixed Martial Arts is not the proving ground for martial arts the street is the proving ground for me I've been in too many street fights to keep count and I could never say I used this or that art I only defended myself every martial art works when used properly some people said capoeira was just some flashy dance until they got kicked in the head by a foot they never saw coming or boxing doesn't work against jui-jitsui until they get clocked or vice versa.. Zen Mushin Ryu works for me anywhere

[BlackwellEnterprizez]

Im an Artist and the first art I loved were the martial arts my father started teaching me as a toddler and since then I was hooked ... he encouraged me to learn every style possible with the importance focused on mastering the basics of them all. so from karate,kungfu,boxing,wrestling­,jui-jitsu,capoeira,muay thai, etc... then I discovered the higher martial arts of the spirit from spiritual teachers and masters one of those teachers is Kitabu Roshi.now I can say I know nothing and learn myself.
