Dear All
Dick has asked for this to reach as many of the BSKF members as possible as fast as possible.
Whilst I appreciate that this is BSKF business on a Shorinji Kempo forum I can think of...
Ok.
So.
I think I've got this.
Stopping people telling the truth about stuff is bad.
And making disappear those that have done bad is good.
I have no problem with a business that says our mission is to make profit.
I have a problem with a business that starts with a mission statement of "we endeavour to create an ideal world" and then...
Starbucks may make an acceptable cup of coffee to certain tastes.
Hopefully one of the two moderators; and therefore aribiters of "Shorinji"; would spend a little more time considering this...

I was asked this by a student at training today (he's 17 and still in that phase where he thinks he can change the world - bless him)
His thoughts:
Doshin So believed in a form of Kongo...
You're close....
I really don't know the answer to this:
Did Doshin So ever do an embu?
Was it to win a competition?
It's becoming very obvious you don't already know it despite the fact I gave you the clue in the original question, 5 spaces work it out or stay where you are and stay in the dark.
Last clue to...

This neatly sums up my opinion on embu competitions:
"After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet...
Dear All
Wishing you a very Happy New Year.
明けましておめでとうございます
I had a senior visitor from Japan at one of my study sessions yesterday.
Interestingly they were of the opinion that the drive...
I was talking about weak homework, (gakka) submitted prior to the grading as as pre requisite for elligibility.
And they weren't South Coast kenshi all, several were from "the other side."

This started on facebook as a discussion which ahs become very interesting.
Do you think that there is a natural order for learning/practising these and if so what's your opinion?
Gassho
That's not the way it works, you get forced :laugh: to come down here and train with me so you can learn from a source, not steal via this cyber medium.
Kempo forces change in the practitioner, if...
Gassho
So when the teacher gets hold of your hands and forces them into the more correct shape is that not forcing change for the good?
When the teacher lives a good life and leads by example...
Gassho
If you practise for 2 hours in a session how much time is your Sensei "spending" of that on forcing mental study within their kenshi?
Doshin So stated that Kempo should follow Ken Zen...
SKJ
I am so terribly sorry for this huge misunderstanding.
I never said that you said it in a formal howa session in front of all the kenshi attending at a seminar last weekend in Bristol,...
Gassho
The source is reliable and a damn sight more impartial than others posting.
I think it's the best way forward.
That way all of Mizuno's followers can follow him into the wilderness.
...
Gassho
Sorry for insulting you.
Kesshu.
Gassho
I am reliably informed that Mr. S. Jee postulated during Howa last weekend that he and Mr T. Mizuno were going to break with BSKF and Wsko and teach their own style.
I don't know whether...
Gassho
Nice to be back.
(Schoolgirl error not banning me for life Steve, grow some nuts.)
There has been discussion on this forum of Kawashima Sensei breaking with traditional teachings and...
How many members does the BSKF have?
How many of them voted?
What percentage of the current full membership is that?
How many votes were dis-allowed?
For what reason?
Who did the counting?
Gassho
My post about Sensei Cailey and Sensei Ian Ferguson (in this thread) was designed as an illustration about just how disillusioned some of the most committed and talented kenshi within the...
