In recent news: The Dojo has just found itself a new opportunity for growth. We have a new permanent indoor/outdoor location located in South Austin. The indoor space is quaint, yet still leaves us with the ability to train outdoors! There is about a quarter acre of training area that allows for new ventures. Makiwara striking posts will be permanently placed as well as many other features. We will also be starting a new kids program. Austin Ninja Kids! We hope to foster a spirit of growth in our young community that will teach discipline, self efficacy, confidence, as well as martial arts and Japanese culture and language. It will be a very exciting year for the Bujinkan Sanami Dojo as we all have the chance to move forward in our training!
Welcome to Bujinkan Sanami Dojo!
Much like love, hope, courage, and will power, Budo Taijustsu is an abstract concept. No one can give you a handful of love or courage, you can not go to the store and buy a gallon of taijutsu either! These concepts are something that come from within a persons psychological connection to their enviornment and own inner awareness. Through definition, we become taijutsu.
The theme for 2011 is Kihon Happo
Ki 奇 as in Kiseki – miracle
Hon 翻 翻 こぼし 1: spilling; grumbling; 2: waste-water container (tea ceremony)
Ha 初 shodan – start begin
Pou 萌（萌え もえ） 1: sprouting; budding;
&
季 Ki – Season/s
翻 Hon – turnover,change,wave.
初 Ha – first, new.
崩 Pou – crumble,die,demolish
The theme for 2010 is Rokkon Shou Jou.
The kanji used by Soke for Roku 六 is 禄.
When it is combined with Kan such as Kanroku 貫禄, it can mean ” Regal Dignity”, or a person of high status,and influence.
Kon 根 is written as Tamashii, or the ” Soul “.
The kanji used by Soke for Shou 清 is written as Warau, or “ Laugh”.
The kanji used for Jou 浄 is written as 淨. This permeates the meaning of “ Pure, Clear,Cleansing or Purity “.
” Soke said that his rokkon shou jou has nothing to do with shugendo/ja practice and that it was more to do with living and being able to smile which, incidentally, is a natural consequence of forgetting about budo.”
” the purification of the senses through laughter!”
Let it be known that Soke says we should still focus on Saino Kon Ki as well as NO ONE has mastered this idea or principle.
Good Trianing, Good People, Good Tidings.
SAINO KON KI IS THE THEME OF NO THEME FOR 2009.
Saino Kon Ki refers to ability (Saino, 才能, さいのう), spirit (Kon, 魂, こん、たましい), and capacity (Ki, 器, き、うつわ) and has been announced by Hatsumi-soke to be the theme for this year. Connections are also a theme for the year, so being able to connect spirit with your natural abilities along with your capacity is a great challenge for us all. We have been given tools to do this with. The tools being a formless rope and a rigid sword. I have many thoughts on why these were chosen, on a basic level the rope is a wonderful tool in which to percieve connections. On the other hand the sword can cut connections which can be just as important. They both allow us to percieve the interplay between them in many lights.
