25.01.2022 Shikin Haramitsu Dai Komyou! ! The light of hope. Shining bright over Tasmania’s capital is Spectra, a large beam of light by Japanese-born, Paris-based artist Ryoji Ikeda. The beam will light the sky every Saturday night until coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

24.01.2022 This kakejiku hangs in our dojo. I believe Sei represents Tasmania ( as previously mentioned in one of Soke’s books. ) The reverberations of my ideas, the ...dispersion of the pure martial heart has spread far and wide, as far as the pure star of Tasmania." -Bujinkan Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi Unarmed Techniques of the Samurai - Kodansha. After our last dojo Budo Heart evening with members, I truly feel his writing has become a reality, and am in awe of Soke’s mysterious ability and sense of future knowing, Kanjin Kaname.

24.01.2022 Kevin is a 62 year old active member of the dojo. He recently acquired a beautiful set of Yoroi. The Yoroi was originally made for a documentary about Tomoe Goz...en. Kevin was lucky to catch it being sold after the filming. Surprisingly it fits Kevin very well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=qurNlwYLXBg

11.01.2022 Stay positive, motivated and endure. This period of time is a true test of our heart/spirit, mind, and body. It's a time where many doubts can creep in, debilit...ate and potentially undo everything gained from training. One has to ask oneself, what will I do if I quit? It’s in these times of challenge that people either find inner strength to walk on or lose themselves in doubt and use hardship as an excuse to fade away. The dojo is a place of preparedness for hardship. If people viewed classes with this mindset, I feel their spirit would be more focused and unwavering, giving their training a stronger sense of purpose and meaning. What seems negative and unproductive to some, is positive and inspirational for others. Which one are you? Find the soul of the budoka that sits firm with an immovable heart. This is an essential spirit for the martial artist to cultivate, otherwise, ones training will only become skin deep and be easily cut away from your own lack of conviction. This is a time where people need to keep a strong sense of conviction and focus on something positive for their continual mental and physical well being - This is why Budo exists! So many sabotage growth when times are tough and relinquish themselves to past emotional habits. Without Fudoushin ( immovable heart ) ones ability to follow the martial path will lead to constant internal battles of doubt and conflict. It’s not hard to be a martial artist. It just takes effort and perseverance. But to many, they are unable to create a lifestyle that can sustain training at the dojo, even if it’s only for two hours,once a week. Budo is a holistic art form with philosophy and practices to protect life and ensure its positive continuance. When asked what is the secret of life and the martial arts, Hatsumi Sensei says quite simply, to "KEEP GOING!" See more

10.01.2022 2020 Bonenkai Enbu Thank you to everyone for your exceptional performances.

10.01.2022 50th Anniversary Dinner for the Australia Japan Society with the presence of the Governor of Tasmania. Our many thanks to the AJS for a wonderful night and our gratitude and well wishes to Mrs Yukiko Burns for her decades of unwavering support and work for the society.

10.01.2022 Ichi go ichi e. One moment, one chance. Seize the moment and it’s feeling with every chance. Settle and breath. Take the time to see the beauty in the wo...rld. Every step or observation has the potential for a moment of enlightenment. Feel the sun and wind on your skin, admire the colors, and observe the life buzzing, flying, crawling and walking around you. Each contribute to the collective beauty of where we are privileged to stand at that moment in time. Give thanks and let the positive thoughts outshine any sadness or sorrow. My best to everyone in health and happiness. See more

07.01.2022 Seiza ( or , literally "proper sitting") is the Japanese term for the standard formal traditional way of sitting in Japan.

07.01.2022 Amatsu Tatara: On Bunbu Ryodo To use the literary and Martial arts for the nation means to prepare for societies turbulence. It is very common to have at least ...one social disturbance in every reign. You should never abolish learning the bugei (warrior arts), even in a short period. There are so many kinds of martial arts and among them only ju-jutsu is needed, this is also true in times of peace. At this time it may be used for self-protection. At the same time, a person that studies ju-jutsu, also learns how to endure. The warrior understands the importance of separating anger from everything. Those who study ju-jutsu have good common sense and great character. If you ruin yourself over trivial things you may lose yourself, if you lose yourself you may eventually lose your home. This is a never ending cycle and... you may not ever be able to recover from it. As with children and parents, the people to the nation, and to the country, sometimes you must sacrifice yourself for these things, in other words place them above yourself. To give an example, the tomo family was prepared to die in the mountains or the sea (in the poem to die for the emperor). Complete mastery of Bud in ancient times allowed warriors to make flying birds drop from the sky by using Kiai (spirit shout), through training in martial virtues. Training with the essence of breaking evil and allowing just to prevail. If I paraphrase this you could say, the way to attain the summit is to follow the laws of nature. Therefore, there is no space between heaven and earth, yourself and your opponent, there is no space between anything in nature, all is connected and all is chaotic. In heaven it is natural to have In and Y (positive and negative aka yin and yang), and on earth the virtue of hard and soft. There are two main things that should be studied in Bunbu (literary and martial arts). These are the Golden rules (Iron rules in Japanese) of nature. The true warrior learns by himself. In the middle of heaven and earth, one learns the mental status of preparing to die." Kuki Takaharu (Showa 18, Jan 5) Where is Your Attention? Is that place, or thing, or idea, worthy of your attention? You have a choice. Consider for a moment a specific event or condition that has challenged you this week. With that situation in mind, ask yourself, "Where is/was my attention?" Is your attention on the inner or the outer? On the seen or the unseen? On the good or the bad? On what is right or what is wrong? On the frustration or the opportunity? On worry or joy? On satisfaction or lack of satisfaction? On what you desire or the lack of it? On the light or the dark side? You have a choice. What do you want to see with your attention? Be gentle with yourself as you answer these questions.If you do not like your answer, laugh at yourself with loving appreciation and make a new choice. Where is your attention?" Takamatsu Chosui (commentary) [An extract from the Kukishinden Zensho] Updated post with thanks to Joe Maurantonio.

05.01.2022 Nowadays, people are shallow and their resolution is not in earnest. They dislike the strenuous and love the easy from the time they are young. When they see something vaguely clever, they want to learn it right away; but if taught in the manner of the old ways, they think it not worth learning. Nowadays, the way is revealed by the instructor, the deepest principles are taught even to beginners, the end result is set right out in front, and the student is led along by the hand. Even with methods like these, students become bored and many of them quit. In this way, talking about principles takes the high seat, the men of old are considered inadequate, mastery becomes watered down, and students only make efforts in things that might have them climb to ‘new heights.’ This is, again, the spirit of the times." Issai Chozanshi

04.01.2022 Heaven and Hell A violent samurai who was known for picking fights for no reason at all arrived at the door of a Zen monastery and asked to speak to the master.... Without a moment’s hesitation, Ryokan came out to meet him. "They say that intelligence is more powerful than strength," said the samurai. "I wonder if you could explain to me the meaning of heaven and hell." Ryokan remained silent. "You see?" roared the samurai. "I could explain that very easily: to show what hell is, all I need to do is beat someone up. To show what heaven is, just let a person go free after menacing him a lot." "I don’t argue with stupid people like you" said the Zen master. This made the samurai’s blood boil. His mind was filled with hatred. "Now, that is hell," said Ryokan, smiling. "Letting yourself be angered by silly things." The monk’s courage disconcerted the warrior, and he relaxed. "And that is heaven," added Ryokan, inviting him in. "Not reacting to silly provocations."

04.01.2022 Please, be a guide for the good willed people, for those who are honest searchers, but more than anything, don't lose your time trying to convince those who would rather stay sheltered in their illusions
