"Even simplicity has depth." This one makes me smile because quite sometime ago some friends were joking about music that I liked saying it was simple. My response was even simplicity has depth. It got them thinking and seeing things a bit differently. 🙂 This can apply so much to what we do in our training. Anyone on the outside looking in may see our kata and think they are very simple. But once you begin training you learn there is so much going on. Kata are far more than a simple cut. There is a lot of depth to what we do. And once you think you "know it", dig deeper you will find more. 🙂

Do you all sell dojo gear like shirts hoodies or patches?

"The ultimate aim of martial arts lies not in victory or defeat but the perfection of the character of its participants." When we train, especially with a partner, it is easy to fall Into the trap of wanting to win with each practice. However if we focus on just winning we may ultimately lose the lesson. Focus on improving and learning rather than winning and you will grow inside and outside of the dojo.

Any other book recommendations that will assist me in developing myself as a Deshi with Nami Ryu Kenjutsu. Besides the videos on you tube and here I find reading helps me formulate a better understanding of the art and its mechanics as a practitioner. What have yall read?
