Re: Enemies and Friends -- Applying "True Budo is Love."

Ushiro sensei talked alot about this up at Marc Abrams' dojo a few weeks back. He painted a entirely different picture of love and compassion. One that was based on the space that hard, serious training and lethality created. One in which you walk on the edge of a blade. It was refreshing to see a man of his strength and power discuss it in such a way.

I have heard Saotome Sensei do the same thing as well over the years.

It is serious stuff and never felt any touchy feely marshmellowy stuff from these guys!

Also don't taunt Meade to provide graphs and charts...you know he can do this at will any time he so desires!
