Re: Internal Power

Wado ryu is not simply and exclusively about education and learning a skill Igor. Its universal code reaches into an overlay of old rites of passage in a world where reason and reasoning often draws the short straw. While its practice is educational, it is also about the study of one's self in term...

Re: Internal Power

So I will pull a Roberto Duran and say 'No Mas'. Is this where I get to 'spring up like a squirrel on the top rope of neutral corner? ;- http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/sports/year_in_sports/11.25.html But enough is enough. I've asked quite a few questions and I surely don't have all the answe...

Re: Internal Power

It is all feel. Yes, I totally get that feeling and intuition are very important in the process. But feeling and intuition can also lead you astray if there is no guiding line. I don't see how keeping information secret untill it can be revealed helps one bit. On the other hand, making the journey ...

Re: Internal Power

Can you ask your question again? I don't understand what you mean by 'How does acquiring a skill depend on revelation?' I don't understand the question. Tim remarked: Certain types of knowledge work best on revelation and have to be unfolded in sequence. I broke that down in two statements: Certain...

Re: Internal Power

...it is not that the Shu Ha Ri model is shrouded in secrecy but more the student that is laden with ignorance being the case in the transmission of a Japanese art form. In our western world we use the very same model in our primary, secondary and tertiary systems of education where the child advan...

Re: Internal Power

How to solve it? In your case, simple. This is not about me. When I bring myself up as an example, it is only because I can talk about myself and my situation with some authority. But I'm not that unique. I think you are over complicating the issue. Why? By now I'd say the issue boils down to a sim...

Re: Internal Power

Certain types of knowledge work best on revelation and have to be unfolded in sequence. Which types of knowledge and why? All I can think of are stories. Stories need to be revealed and unfolded in sequence, else they won't work. A skill should also be acquired in sequence. But how does a skill dep...

Re: Internal Power

So, at risk of sounding like the old man, in my humble opinion, I offer one word, the same word that has been mentioned by Bob and Reg many times ……. Kihon. I fully agree with that. But the question remains which is the right kihon? And a next question would be: how to practice it in the most effic...

Re: Internal Power

Coming up with your own answer is not always the best way to work wado kata Igor... the 3rd movement of Pinan Sandan is not an example of two hands working together but more two hands working in opposition which is the antithesis of so called metode - You're absolutely right. I meant the 3rd moveme...
