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.

Utah Dojo Newsletter
My initial goal was to have our newsletter released four times a year with a fall, winter, spring, and summer issue. Unfortunately, this has not been the case. At one point, I was releasing a month-to-month newlsetter, but was quickly tired of writing all the articles and information for them. You'll notice that I've been recruiting students to write specific items or do a little samurai history for it. I appreciate the help and plan on us making all four editions next year with some help from others because people are really more interested in what other classmates have to say.
