Not Starbucks – March 15, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan
Lining up in class is not like lining up in Starbucks. You do not want to block out the folks arriving at the same time, butt into line beside your buddy or do any of a dozen passive-aggressive moves because you think your lateness for work entitles you to do them. Lining up to practice … Continue reading Not Starbucks – March 15, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan

What you need – March 8, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan
The small sad symbols of winter are melting out of the snowbanks in front of the coffee shop this morning as an hour's stolen time makes me rush through my dark roast.

Sanjugokajo-34 The body of a rock – Feb 20, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan
The body of a rock should, with uninterrupted training, by and with an imperturbable, strong and large spirit be trained. A body which has become familiar with the entire truth of the martial arts is boundlessly powerful, so that all living things voluntarily try to evade him. Even the soulless grass and trees will naturally … Continue reading Sanjugokajo-34 The body of a rock – Feb 20, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan

Comparing heights is the teaching that, if you are clinging to the body of your opponent, you should do this in such a manner as if you were wrestling for size, that is to say you should expand your body as strongly as possible, so that you appear larger than your opponent at all times. … Continue reading Sanjugokajo-30 Comparing heights – Feb 17, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan

Furi Kaburi – Feb 16, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan
Furi Kaburi is the sword above your head, sometimes we speak of the movement overhead but for me, I tend to say it's the point at which one starts to strike. There are lots of ideas about how to get the sword over your head, and where it ought to be once it's overhead. Sometimes … Continue reading Furi Kaburi – Feb 16, 2015, Kim Taylor, Renshi, CI Sei Do Kai Guelph ON, Nanadan
