IT IS NECESSARY TO RESTORE THE TRUE BUDÔ!!!

At present there are courses in Budô sports, such as Judô, Kendô, Kyudô, Karate, etc., but the true Budô, the true nucleus of the cultivation of the Japanese spirit, is not taught. In the general public, the Budô is understood to have the same meaning as the word Jutsu (technique), and is described as a "Bujutsu contest or competition" that lacks spirituality and has been deported. In addition, although on a social and cultural level, the Budô has spread to foreign countries, and the population of Budô (fighting techniques) or Martial Arts is growing, it happens that there is no awareness that it is moving in the opposite direction, that is: in the direction away from the original Budô. Speaking in terms of culture and tradition, these facts are directly manifested in many training halls that are gymnasiums without Kamidana (in other words: without seeking spirituality).
The Budô urgently claims that it must be restored as a traditional culture in modern times, reviving the appearance of Budô as it originally should be, clarifying the difference and relationship between Michi/Dô and Jutsu, and continuing the training of both. If this is not done, the Budô as a millenary culture and as a reason for being in its origin, as well as the traditional conservation of Japan will become an obsolete, empty word, without meaning of root and existence.
But how to revive the essence of true Budô?
It’s very easy, if one really want to. It is by following the original Budô. First of all, sticking to traditional ways, studying the heart of Japan, awakening one's own heart, forging the soul of the discipline in which one is dedicated. The training begins with respect for the spirits of the people and the Budô deities, and includes etiquette and loyalty between the Master and the disciple, as well as between the students themselves, and the search for one's own Dô in the practice of Bujutsu. And the place of that preparation and training is in a Budôjô or 武道場, Budô-ba (place or field of Martial Arts) in which a clean and peaceful place provides a unique and special environment.
If the heart is lost, the form is also lost, and the revival of the tradition will become more and more difficult. In order to restore the essence of true Budô, the forms must first be maintained and decadence stopped. In addition, one must seek and want to learn from the instructors or Masters who maintain and put into practice the true tradition of Budô; because these will ensure that the student's technique will be refined and effective, that Bu and Dô are not lost, and that strong spirits with well-trained minds and bodies are cultivated.
To remember: In Japan, the Budô was a lifestyle of the samurai warrior classes, which was made up of physical training in combat techniques, mental training, knowledge and control of oneself united with the spiritual state, and all this within some rules of courtesy prioritizing essential ethical and moral values in learning any of the disciplines.
"The CULTURE and the ART of the BUDÔ must be preserved proactively."

“...The 5th Dan test is not about sensing a killing blow. Rather, it’s about sensing changes in nature...the perils of heaven, earth and man - and to avoid those dangers....”

"In budo, too, there are three important essentials:
first, seeing and knowing oneself, one's own strengths and limitations; second, the sword of discrimination, of decisiveness, for eliminating faults, weaknesses, and the unnecessary;
and last, the sincerity, feeling, devotion, insight, and understanding of the heart."

“..My first impression from my first training was: THESE MOVEMENTS ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT! I used to train kendo, Shorinji Kempo and judo, but these movements were completely different, they were absolutely natural! But for me, it was like riding a bike for the first time. It was so hard, even though it was so natural.”
- Ishizuka Tetsuji

Tsuki 突き

The importance of Tsuki is more than being good at lunging forward and extending the body to generate and develop full body power. It’s not only about developing the alignment of the entire body and to be able deliver a piercing thrusting attack.
The deeper function of Tsuki and the drilling of committed attacks with the entire body ( ken tai ichi jo ) both armed and unarmed, is about conditioning ones whole being to “follow through” with attacks unhesitatingly in a total unification of the spirit,technique and body ( shin gi tai ichi 心技大一 ).
The Gogyo no Kata teaches fundamental strikes/slashes/stabs and parries. Each kata are no more than 3-4 movements and easy for the mind and body to quickly assimilate. These five exercises are the base fighting forms for mortal combat. It’s been said that if people were conscripted, they would be drilled in these actions with yari ( spears ) and kodachi ( short swords ) in preparation for advancing and fighting on the battlefield. To ensure these low ranks and “beginners to combat” were conditioned in mind,body and technique ( shin,gi,tai ) to “push forward” under severe circumstances, these lunging drills were essential every day practice.
For beginners, the Gogyo no Kata is referred to as the Shoshin no Kata when firstly practicing solo. In my Dōjō, beginners are drilled up and down the hall in these five movements. The important aspect is for students to not “switch off” their minds from repetition boredom but rather, to focus their whole being intently forward with the intention of piercing through imagined adversity and their own lethagy. This also helps beginners develop their 根性 [こんじょう (konjou) guts/determination, 残心 zanshin ( constant vigilance ) and Kiai 気合 fighting spirit. Only after this spirit has been developed alongside solid structure and skill in these five movements, does the training move to change and develop a deeper understanding of applications, concepts and feelings.
Drilling the 地の型 Chi no Kata – earth form, 水の型 Sui no Kata – water form, 火の型 Ka no Kata – fire form 風の型, Fu no Kata – air form, and 空の型 Kū no Kata – void form with the mind deeply set on Tsuki つき, is essential practice for those following the Way of the Bujinkan. It is my view that as students, we are actively working at developing the mind and body to straightforwardly pursue, protect, and clear a path of conviction toward enlightenment through these timeless martial treasures

Dans l’ombre du budo…Les principes

Aborder les différents principes qu’Hatsumi sensei nous enseigne n’est jamais chose facile. Je me souviens d’un soir où Hatsumi sensei avait fait tomber Shiraishi sensei d’une drôle de façon. Souvent, ce dernier a tendance à tomber de lui-même, mais cette fois-ci, il n’avait pas vu venir ce qui arrivait. En un simple contact, Soke a complètement changé la distribution du poids de Shiraishi sensei. En cherchant à comprendre ce qui venait de se passer, je regardai les autres étudiants du dojo refaire la technique. Tous agrippaient fortement le bras et tentaient de faire tomber leurs partenaires sans y parvenir. Tous travaillaient en utilisant leurs muscles au maximum alors que Soke n’avait fait qu’effleurer le bras de Shiraishi sensei. Le lendemain matin en assistant au cours que donnait Shiraishi sensei, nous lui avons demandé ce qui s’était passé la veille pour qu’il soit aussi désorienté. Sa réponse a été simple, kasokudo, l’accélération. Il nous a montré la façon que Soke avait utilisé ce principe. Par la suite, j’ai porté attention et remarqué que Soke utilisait fréquemment ce principe-là ainsi qu’une multitude d’autres.

J’ai écrit ce livre en me basant sur ces questionnements, ces petits détails qui font toute la différence. Je ne prétends pas maîtriser parfaitement ces principes ou avoir raison à 100%. Je ne fais que donner ma vision de ces concepts. J’ai validé plusieurs d’entre eux auprès des Shihan japonais seniors. Pour les autres, c’était plus difficile de donner une définition exacte. Le budo est un joyau que l’on doit aborder dans différents angles. Je ne fais que partager mon angle de vision. Cependant, pour bien des gens, un grand nombre de ces concepts sont passés totalement inaperçus. En partageant mes observations dans ce livre, j’espère aider le plus grand nombre possible de personnes à découvrir l’intérêt de ces principes.

Quelques sujets traités: Ishiki, chuuto hanpa, le duel au sabre, sakki et satchi jutsu, kasokudo, warui kankaku et certains sujets plus terre à terre comme la douleur, choisir sa voie, le timing, etc. En tout, 60 chapitres touchant aux bases essentielles du budo.

Extrait du Gorin-sho par Miyamoto Musashi :

" Ku _ connaître le vide

Le mot japonais Ku peut se traduire par vide, espace, ciel, air, etc. L'ideogramme chinois de Ku est le même que L'ideogramme KARA de karaté. Dans les philosophies chinoise et japonaise, le concept de Ku recouvre plus que le simple espace ou le vide. Il fait référence à l'esprit dans son état primitif, alors qu'il n'est que vide et pureté. Il est également quelques fois utilisé pour décrire un état de la matière pré-rationnel ou non-rationnel. Ku pénètre le rationnel, recherche et trouve le salutaire. Ku fait référence aux interstices entre les nuages et désespoirs.
Il est dit que Ku est le vide qui 'e peut être perçu par les êtres humains. Mais, dès lors que nous concevons pleinement ce que peuvent être les espaces non vides, nous pouvons comprendre pour la première fois ce que sont les espaces vides. Il est des espaces appelés Ku. Le KU véritable, ou vide absolu, est atteint lorsque nous entrons dans un état où nul doute ne persiste au travers de la pratique quotidienne et du travail de l'intellect, de la spiritualité et du jugement. Atteindre un état dénué de doute est le propos même des arts martiaux. Nous pouvons atteindre la compréhension du vide ou KU en nous engageant dans un maximum d'entraînement et de pratique. L'esprit qui a atteint le vide ne connaît plus que ce qui est bon et méconnaît ce qui est mauvais. En étant imprégné de l'esprit, de la connaissance et de la vérité des arts martiaux, l'esprit qui a atteint le KU se trouve totalement dépourvu de pensées matérielles. "
