I was not merely talking about children. (i'm not sure to what age you consider them to be children - as a term - , to me that is about 12 years old) I verbalized incorrectly, I guess it should have been stimulate instead of encourage. perhaps that Is why you thought I was talking about children alone.


Anyway, within Dojo terms It's not a pink scene with red roses and hugging teddy bears. Please, do not get the wrong idea about my previous post.

I have known many who were still child-like in some aspects of their intellectual and emotional states when they were in their 30 and 40s AJ... Time and age have often very little to do with it.. Everyone likes to hear themselves described in favourable terms but the adversary isn't thinking that way and the adversary is the one that you have to deal with so because wado is not just physical and some aspects are not easily definable - we have Hihyo which is musei - or preparatory ground breaking for kikioji - mikazure - futanren.
