I’ve gotten behind in my writing of my blog. So while I work on my first in the bunkai section, consider the following, which was posed to me by a very high ranking karateka:
“When called, the true warrior kills his family, burns down his house, salts his fields, kills his stock, and goes to war.”
Sounds like that warrior has no plans of coming home to me.
ReplyDeleteHanshi Anderson felt it exemplified the pure warror, completely loyal to his liege lord. Not only did he go to war when called, but he removed anything from his distracting him - worries about his family, getting crops in, etc. - before doing so.
