The Lord of Heaven and
Earth, of all living things, become his mind (kokoro), hence the mind
is a living thing and is never luminous. - Bushido: Code of the Samuri.
Kokoro is a martial arts training system integrating classical biomechanics into
judo, ju_jitsu and mixed martial arts disciplines.. Classical
choreographic training is used to provide a foundation for sports such
as skating and gymnastics, is the key to
optimization of leverage mechanics, force generation, skill
development, flexibility, economy of energy and injury
prevention.
The Seven Virtues of the
Bushido form the physical and mental content of training. These virtues
are Jin: Benevolence
toward mankind; Universal love; compassion, Makoto: Utter
sincerity; truthfulness, Chugi: Devotion
and Loyalty, Meiyo:
Honor and glory, Yu: Valor;
bravery, tinged with heroism Rei: Proper
behaviour; courtesy Gi: The right
decision, taken with equanimity; rectitude.
These virtues are applied in physical training and application
into every day lives, in pursuit of an intellectual and social
elite
objective. --

.In The Spotlight
In the context
of the Ultimate Objective : "When campaigning, be
swift
as the wind; in leisurely march, majestic as the forest; in attack,
like
fire; in standing, firm as the mountains. As unfathomable as the
clouds,
move like a thunderbolt." - Adapted
from Sun Tzu. "The Art of War"
The Lord of heaven of earth, of
all living things, living in the heart of man becomes his mind
(kokoro), hence the mind is a living thing and is never luminous.
