Natsume, I apologize if I missed your thread somewhere, what style do you practice? These are all really good.
You know, with Goju, we kinda kept the traditional of mind training, but instead of a seated meditation, we all stand and listen to a short inspirational speech by the sensei. Item 1 was something that we recently discussed, but we look at it from a moral vs legal perspective.
BUt you know I am really glad to see someone here posting with the traditional teaching and really expressing the "ART" in martial art, and not just any random fighting game
