Yeah, we actually mix it up a bit. Once a week we do a circuit-style session with heavy bags, medicine balls, and some light weights—helps build endurance and explosive power. It’s not “pure” martial arts but it definitely complements the training. Keeps things fresh and pushes different limits.

Thank you for sharing this—it’s heartfelt and powerful. The way you honor those virtues, even after the SKKA’s dissolution, really shows deep integrity. Bushido as a lived principle, not just a concept, shines through in your words. What you said about friendships through training being some of the most real ones hits home. Appreciate your honesty and spirit.

Thanks for sharing this—it’s a really thoughtful reflection. I especially connected with the idea of shifting focus from the strike itself to the direction of force and the attacker’s center. It feels like a mental reframing that could make reactions more instinctive over time. That bit about “forgetting how to see” also hits home—so easy to fall into auto-pilot once something becomes familiar. You’ve captured a lot of deep stuff here without overcomplicating it. I’ll definitely keep some of this in mind during my next session.
