e285 – KUDEN – Kokoro Hodoki: And the Invisible Ties that Bind Stronger Than Iron!


Most students think “Hodoki” is limited to just escaping a wrist or other grabbing attack. But the hardest grabs to escape actually aren’t physical at all. They’re internal bindings (musubi) that trap our heart and mind – preventing right though, action and the success we want.

These are the invisible ties that bind stronger than iron chains – shacking us to mediocrity!

In this episode, we go deeper into Kokoro Hodoki – the mind-and-heart level escape that must happen before any physical technique – martial or otherwise – can work.

You’ll also discover why long-distance training has always been the path of warriors, the “first-grab” that stops most students before they even train, and how karmic decisions, past choices, relationships, and identity traps bind you without your awareness.

All this, and more, in this week’s episode of KUDEN! Radio – the podcast for you – the modern warrior-protector looking for more than just physical fighting techniques.
