Musha Shugyo is a ronin's quest for the Mind of the Martial Artist. Use it to name a coherent system of excellence, to train it in yourself, and explain it in others. Use it to organize knowledge and experience, for it is a map, and a journey. Musha Shugyo will assist you in becoming the hero of the adventurer that is your own life.
This "Mind," involves organizing the transformative process of becoming a martial artist. It involves looking at yourself, your life and your theatre, in a different and purposeful way, and having a new Life Value that is powerful and freeing.
It is what you are, not what you have.
Consider: "Our life is what our thoughts make it." - Marcus Aurelius, "Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change." - Buddha, "Believe you can and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt
Our system shapes and controls your thoughts using :
-
-
- A mnemonic device
- Visualization
- Emotion
- Affirmation
- Meditation
- Exercise
- Explanation or narrative
-
Our mnemonic trains the seven positions or steps for a martial artist, and each of these will be explained as we go. Also, to assist in training, lend authority and present a broader foundation I will list books, videos, movies, web sites, whatever I can to make it easier and more fun.
