In this episode, recorded on the mat, Valadez Sensei discusses with his deshi the traditional use of violence in Budo training, how it has functioned as part of the self-transformation process historically, the difficulty in its continuous usage, and whether or not it remains viable in a contemporary pedagogy. The listener will also gain additional insight into what constitutes a Budo practice and how it could function in daily life.
