RichardZ Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 So, it was to be a silent code of ethics and warrior behavior. Like chivalry.
Ichi_Geki Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Exactly! Or so I am led to believe, I am sure there are people who beg to differ with my Point of philosophy, but it is all welcomes in my opinion.
RichardZ Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 same here. I think historians and book authors tend to built upon appeasing a audience rather than fact or actual data.
Ichi_Geki Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Yes I do sense that as well. and its hard to find out the truth.
RichardZ Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 Iti s not hard to find certain truths. The thing is to know where to start. The start of it is daring to do the opposite, or go against the grain. With the interent, it is becoming easier.
Ichi_Geki Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Gotta love the internet. Although i wish I could train with people such as Tohyama Seiko Sensei, before he passed. i
RichardZ Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 Yes. As I bet he wished he could have trained with notable others he held in high regards, also.
Ichi_Geki Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 He did. He was the final active student of Uechi Kanbun.
RichardZ Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 So, what one strives to do, is only upon a set path laid before them from another, and another, ...Such as martial arts codes, ingrained and solidify, not by a list of words, but a compassion of study
bushido_man96 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I agree. I'm a god fearing individual as well, and I respect my god. And I never allow Bushido to take aspect in me as a religion. But I do use Bushido to help my students get into an original mind sent, like why Karate and Kobudo were used for.I am at odds with the term "god fearing", as I do not think people should "fear" god, but embrace.However, that said, Bushido was a unwritten code practice at a time when such was practiced within a certain set of moral or behavior obligations.I fear anyone that can help a guy kill a 8 foot giant...But yes Bushido was never anything really religious, most Budoka were buddhists but bushido was never a religion.Its more of a result of the overall culture of the region at the time. Buddhism was the popular religion, and some of the concepts and ideals contributed well to the ideals of warriors. So they stuck. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
