The reason you even need to have that conversation is because there's no pressure testing of your technique. If you sparred it would be immediately obvious what works and what doesn't and people would gravitate towards using the correct leverage naturally. Then your ninjas would not only understand the technique but feel it on an instinctual level, and that's way better than trying to replicate the forms as exactly as possible.
" Dr. Hatsumi was asked many years ago to provide documentation of some of his lineage for admittance to the Kobudo Shinkokai, perhaps the most reliable of the major organizations of traditional Japanese martial arts, and according to Donn Draeger, in a conversation to me, he was not able to provide documentation which proved his lineage to their satisfaction. Thus, there are uncertain areas in Dr. Hatsumi's lineage."🤔🤭
"Dr. Friday: These are just 3 out of 9. Problem is that if he is the 34th soke it means logically that there where 33 more sokes before him. If this school were a modern one it means they'd have to switch every almost three years which didn't happen. That might be persuasive logic if there were any documentation to substantiate Hatsumi's claim to 33 predecessors. But there is none--as I noted earlier, no document for the Togakure-ryu that predates the Meiji period (or rather, none that survived the scrutiny of independent experts). Moreover, the genealogies claimed by Hatsumi (and by his teacher Takamatsu Toshitsugu) are highly suspect."
The paradoxal nature of the ☯️. The greatest challenge for most is that Sensei's teachings come from truly ancient roots that have nothing to do with the modern paradigm for experiencing reality, which is based on the binary rational analysis and description of everything. This approach has literally sapped the life out of people and their respective societies, producing a legion o talking heads that at quick glance of their actual lives reveals a collage of regrets and personal disasters, yet still insisting on being authorities on everything they can't actually do. If one holds on to that paradigm he/she might get the shape of what Sensei shows (at best), but won't come even close to the essence. "A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting." - Carlos Castaneda "Nobody knows who I am or what I do. Not even I." - Don Juan Matus The same applies to many other ancient systems of transmission of knowledge. As those quotes from indigenous Mexican wisdom shows, whatever that means, 😂 Your approach to explaining these things is so simple and direct that it is a joy to see. Thank you for sharing your perspective, I consider your material to be by far the best I've seen out there so far. Keep em coming!!!
