Ninja and Samurai Martial Arts Dojo

I am pleased to announce that I will be speaking at Pacific Martial Arts on Wednesday June 17th, 2009 from 6 – 8pm. I’ll be speaking about Bushido, which translates to the “Way of the Warrior”. I’ll be discussing how this ancient Japanese code of conduct is important in modern times.

Bushido is defined as a unique philosophy that spread through the warrior class during the Muromachi period. It is the code of moral principles which the samurai were required or instructed to observe, which was frequently unuttered and unwritten. It is typified by the Seven Virtues: Recitude, Courage, Benevolence, Respect, Honesty, Honour and Loyalty. Codes of conduct and moral principles, like that of the Samurai, are lacking in the youth of today. Gangs and peer pressure have a strong influence and are putting children at risk. I’ll be discussing how martial arts programs can aid in getting these kids back on the right track.

Those who learn the Samurai Way find it has a powerful effect on them. Their lives are changed as they learn things about themselves they did not even know they were looking for. Come and learn about Bushido and let it have a powerful effect on you!
