KODO,
Ancient Ways
Once
upon a time
I
love to read.
For
me reading is not only a means of staying informed about
events, places, and people that interest me, but reading
is also great way for me to relax my mind when ever the
need arises.
Over
the years I have read a lot of books on a wide range of
subjects. For the most part they have been the kind of
books that made me glad that I took the time to read them.
Recently I came across just such a book, one that I
consider to be a "must read" for any student of
the martial arts, regardless of your style or affiliation.
The
book was a gift from one of my students and it is
entitled: "KODO Ancient Ways" - "Lessons
in the Spiritual Life of the Warrior/Martial Artist".
It was written by the late, Reverend Kensho Furuya
Sensei, Resident Chief Instructor, of the Aikido Center
of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Sword and
Swordmanship Society Kenshinkai. Furuya Sensei currently
held the rank of 6th Dan from the World Aikido
Headquarters, and the rank of 6th Dan, Kyoshi (Master )
in Iaido, the way of the sword.
His
book is published by Ohara Publications Incorporated, of
Santa Clara, California , and I strongly urge you to buy
a copy and start your own journey of self discovery.
You
can also visit Reverend Kensho Furuya Sensei's web site
by simply scrolling down on the "Links" section
of my web site and clicking on "Aikido Center of Los
Angeles".
Remember
Never
judge a book by it's cover,
it
is the content that matters most.
- Part
the clouds - see the way.

- "The
objective of karate-do is to contribute to the evolution
- of
the human spirit through physical and mental training."
