“The purpose of the martial arts is not to cut down others, but to cut down the evil within yourself.”— Masaaki Hatsumi, Head of Bujinkan International, 34th Soke of Togakure-Ryu Ninjutsu
Tonight on KUDEN! Radio I’m beginning a special 3-part series built around a deeper lesson hidden inside kuzushi.
Most think kuzushi means breaking physical balance.
But what if it also points to hidden supports in life that can quietly become chains?
In this week’s KUDEN! Radio episode, Hidden Chains, Hidden Freedom — Part I in a new 3-part mini-series, we’ll explore the Hidden Side of Kuzushi (what most students know as ‘balance-breaking’):
- When support strengthens…
- when it traps…
- and how true training should cultivate freedom, not dependency.
This one goes well beyond technique!
