Excellent, I always say a ninja should be able to throw any old kind of way. Front, left, right, backwards, side ways, below and up high. A ninja is a jack of all directions. 👍

Always love your stories and anecdotes.

I looked it up and followed it into its definitions and etymology. Thank you, Paul, it was enlightening!

Joy and tears, you know? It's such a dynamic path! I owe Hatsumi Sensei so much, and yet, he never even 'knew' me. Tell him that another American woman wishes him well, and that I am someone whose whole life has been spent trying to walk in his tiny footprints. They are tiny prints when you are sincere and honest. Huge prints reminds me of the greed of the world. Tell him, it's his tiny footsteps, with smaller, fewer steps, that made my world so grand and wondrous.

Classic Paul Masse. I love it when Paul says, 'Right?' It's catching. I sit here nodding and thinking, "Right!" Now, simply for a smile, listen to the monk at 1:14-15. I watched it and said, 'He reminds me of someone!' :-) th-cam.com/video/BQVFVXmU-Ug/w-d-xo.html

"The Indian term yoga is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root yuj, 'to link, join, or unite,' which is related etymologically to 'yoke,' a yoke of oxen, and is in sense analogous to the word 'religion' (Latin re-ligio), 'to link back, or bind.' Man, the creature, is by religion bound back to God. However, religion, religio, refers to a linking historically conditioned by way of a covenant, sacrament, or Quran, whereas yoga is the psychological linking of the mind to that superordinated principle 'by which the mind knows.' Furthermore, in yoga what is linked is finally the self to itself, consciousness to consciousness; for what had seemed, through māyā, to be two are in reality not so; whereas in religion what are linked are God and man, which are not the same. "It is of course true that in the popular religions of the Orient the gods are worshiped as though external to their devotees, and all the rules and rites of a covenanted relationship are observed. Nevertheless, the ultimate realization, which the sages have celebrated, is that the god worshiped as though without is in reality a reflex of the same mystery as oneself. As long as an illusion of ego remains, the commensurate illusion of a separate deity also will be there; and vice versa, as long as the idea of a separate deity is cherished, an illusion of ego, related to it in love, fear, worship, exile, or atonement, will also be there. But precisely that illusion of duality is the trick of māyā. 'Thou art that' (tat tvam asi) is the proper thought for the first step to wisdom.” Joseph Campbell, The Masks of God, Vol. III: Oriental Mythology, p. 14).”

You live a dream

Love this

Catching up on your vids and liking for the algorithm. Sorry for the notifications! lol Started something now I gotta finish it :)

Yeah c'mon Marco make us some shirts!

Thanks for sharing these thoughts Paul! Naka Ima reminded me of a Lakota expression I thought you'd appreciate as well - "Yesterday is ashes, tomorrow wood; only today does the fire burn brightly".

Cool 😂

Only nobody can let go of the search for attainment, and therefore truly attain! Be nobody! That’s my fortune cookie rhyme for today! 🤪

Paul, shine on you crazy diamond! 🥂

One thing I can say, is that I was very glad you were there when I passed my godan, Paul. Having established a connection with you through seminars early on in my training, it meant a lot that you were there. As far as training after godan, well, you can certainly get hit from behind even after having passed. The sakki is something to be continuously developed and built upon, and passing the godan test does not guarantee your invincibility.

He is ready to reunite with Takamatsu.

don't stop concetrating

yes read it...only a little...japa japa. take it

yes paul masse, listen close, japa japa. sip sip

yes paul masse, like a laser pointer. i hear you my disciple...oh master of the force. japa, japa. like a laser pointer

Nicely done. I've played with this concept several times over the years

Hey Poul San. I just watched 2 of your videos and a cloud left my eyes and mind. I was a little stuck in dealing with the handicap I got 10 years ago after a life of practicing. The words of Sensei and your comment lifted the vail. Domo 🙏🪷

can you show technique with a chainsaw :)

Paul, you are a funny guy. I like the videos. Hope to train soon in USA with you. stay safe my friend

Exactly so.Ten years ago, had you told me I would be where I am now, i would have dismissed you as crazy. Really enjoy your videos.

Wish everybody´s mind and life would create beauty. I wonder how people in for example Beirut endure life and find meaning in it. And I wish for people in mental hospitals that the medical treatment they get will be more focused on healing and curing them than keeping them doped and under control.

This reminds me of the first Kickboxer-movie with Jean Claude Van Damme, when they go to Stone City and his teacher says: " - This is Stone City. While you train here then listen. He asks what he should listen for and his teacher says: " - Just listen. With your heart, your mind your whole being."

This really helped me Paul. Thank you🌌

Excellent video! These books need a guide, or critic. I’ve spent my adult life in the art world and the Bujinkan and spent real quality time with Soke looking at the work and I probably still miss most of what’s there. This is great.

Great video Paul, thanks! A very smart way from Soke to illustrate his teaching of "Why do you think what you think?" and the un-learning/questioning of our beliefs. Cool guests too! Gambatte!

Great, thanks Paul!

And do me a favour sometimes, and ask him y

Dankel kinda comes off like a young chris roworth, atleast from the videos that i know, havent met that guy yet, doesnt he ? 😊

Another great video Paul. So true in so many ways. Life is what you make it 🉐️👍

This unique blend of budo philosophy and humor gets me every time!

such a fun video! thanks for sharing Paul!

Excellent Paul, great wisdom 🙏

Bless this algorithm.

Thank you for this awesome, insightful video, Paul! BTW: I love your video editing! 😄

Thanks!

Thanks for that information Paul. It makes a lot of sense showing Sokes wisdom. Excuse me while I Dewire myself.

Thank you brother for sharing this wisdom! Missed you so much and can't wait to see you again in Japan. Cheers from Graz, Austria! Regards Enis 🙏🥋👌🏾💪🏾
