The essence of Japanese swordsmanship lies in its perfection. It does not mean to strike down an enemy, but rather to strike down the enemy within oneself. In doing so, we rid ourselves of counter productive and self destructive attitudes. Learning the art of Japanese swordsmanship requires a philosophical training which permeates the entire life outside the dojo, building compassion and self-discipline.

Zen Meditation - Zafu/Zabuton
For students interested in purchasing the sitting pad (zabuton) and cushion (zafu) visit Zabuzabu. It's around $85 for the set, but remember that a blanket or sturdy pillow with a folded beach towel or yoga mat will work just fine.
