e255 – KUDEN! – The Courage to Be Cut – Power, Restraint, and the Warrior’s Path


What does it truly mean to be a warrior in today’s world? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into a rarely understood but critically important principle from Hatsumi Sensei and the old warrior traditions: the idea that a true warrior must be willing to be cut before they cut. Is this about compassion, strategy, or something more?

Well…this is NOT a feel-good pep talk – it’s a return to the real roots of martial mastery. If you’re ready to walk the warrior’s path, this episode will sharpen your mind as much as your technique.

So… join in for this episode of KUDEN! Radio where you’ll discover why the willingness to be cut is a sign of power, not weakness – and how restraint, timing, and inner strength shape the warrior’s path – in life and combat.
