The Invisible Sensei Podcast

Should Children be allowed to become Blackbelts? What's the line that is crossed when they do? Should they wait to be 20yr old fighting machines when they do? What even is a Blackbelt and how is it different from a Shodan? Aren't they the same thing?

Our host shares his thoughts on what he thinks the difference is and what's really important at least in his opinion.

Wildly different while being completely the same, what happens when people cant agree on the position of a hand, the foot that goes forward, the placement of a finger?

Well, comedy ensues, with drama coming up close behind, is it really worth the BS internal Dojo wars?

Thanks DH for the idea and the convo!

In this episode our host discusses the importance of remembering all those Men and Women out there teaching in little church halls or in backyards or a field somewhere and the good they do, not trying to produce fighting machines, rather, people who might just need to be invited to the idea there is much more to themselves than what others see, or even what they themselves believe.

Here's to all those real invisible Sensei grinding it out, and just getting shit done!

How do we approach the balancing act that is Martial Arts training? How do we avoid the inevitable which is the self critique that accompanies any endeavour without it spiralling into something sharper and more damaging?
