Immerse yourself in an authentic exploration of Aikido, an art form I've been practicing for 15 years. In this journey, we will appreciate the distinct grace of this martial art, its deep roots in the sword school, and its meditative component. Brace yourself as we delve into an ancient samurai tale that beautifully illustrates Aikido's cardinal principle - that in times of confrontation, slowness and concentration eclipse speed and recklessness.
The second half of our episode breathes life into the tale of Taisen Desshimaru, who talks about the disciple of legendary Musashi Miyamoto. This narrative serves as a reflection on confronting fears and weaving innovative solutions to challenges, principles that are applicable not only within the dojo, but also in real-life scenarios. This episode promises to not only deepen your understanding of this martial art but also arm you with a mindset to navigate the storms of life. Let's learn together, and share our insights on Instagram.
