Hi All,

I found some messages/articles from Hatsumi-sensei that would go well with some of the other recent discussions here.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies. It's my pleasure to post good stuff when I find it. I think that this type of sharing and encouragement between people is something that Hatsumi-sensei finds important and wants to share with as many people as possible. I don't think that he wants the training to be about ranks, heirarchies, and assorted other nonsense.

For me, I've taken something of value from what Hatsumi-sensei has shared with the world. I felt like these articles/messages are among the "essential points of things" that Hatsumi-sensei was discussing in the New Years' Message. Three essential things that I see when reading the Rules of the Bujinkan are peace, justice, and the Buyu idea.

There are worse things for an organization to stand for....

There's lots of good material to discuss in those articles/messages. I hope this thread will encourage discussion of such things.

Have a nice day/night all,

Fu Bag

Either the website is down, or my browsers are going funny. Can not seem to get them links to work.
