What a nice day for yard work and Training outside! Taught lessons of body mechanics with a rake and broom for my son and daughter without anything particular in mind, then broke out three Jo and taught them a little bit of Jo basics which, naturally, translate to SOME sword basics.
So caught up in the media sometimes that we all forget to enjoy the little things by stepping away, getting out, getting dirty, sweaty, and wearing ourselves down.
We also tend to take ourselves a little too seriously a majority of the time and THAT is when stress gets us.
In the community it is about style, about lineage, about whatever, we forget to step away from all of that and just train, enjoy training, realizing that we don't need to be so proper or 'Traditional' and rigid in what we are doing.
There are no styles, there is only the way.
This is the way.
