This methodology follows the enduring concept of knighthood exemplified by the Spartan Knights. Spartan culture had religious cults based on the concepts of Fear, Sleep, Death, Laughter, Desire, and Hunger. There was also another one called Aidos (Reserve). Only in the case of Phobos (Fear) can we be sure there was a temple building, suggesting that Phobos was particularly important to Spartan thinking. Since Aidos is closely related, the same may be true of it. These may be the only constructs that had actual temples and may have been particularly important.

Aidos also means silence and it was a form of non-verbal communication at Sparta. Group silence contributed to the training of Spartans. For Plato, Spartan silence operates as a marker of respect and high esteem to seniors and elders.

We must also turn our attention as well to the Japanese Warrior concepts of Fudoshin and mu-shin. This is mastery encoded within two words, both with an ocean of meaning and understanding, this is the immovable mind of no mind. The highest level of martial and spiritual skill is only attainable through a mind that is present with total sensory input (without mind chatter - no mind) but detached—a mind/heart that is ever flowing but does not attach and thus remains immovable.

This concept, the immovable mind of no mind, is seldom acknowledged and/or applied in our current, supposedly advanced, era of separation and ecological destruction. Without a spirit rooted in the oneness of heart/mind/body, our concept remains an interesting foreign exercise in intellectual musings that rings with the hidden hollowness of ones words and actions, which in all ways reveals a lack of respect for self and others.

In purely self-defense circumstances, the strength of ones heart and mind without the burden of fear will determine a positive outcome. This is more essential to ones safety, confidence and well-being than years of artificial, un-realistic, commercial, competitive types of martial arts training.

Dojo—‘Place of the Way.’ The Sanskrit translation is: Bodhi manda—‘mandala of Awakening’—a place where Awakening occurs. The esoteric meaning is a ‘holy place of learning and practicing the Way.’

We believe that many martial art dojos talk about a spiritual side to their training but few ‘walk’ this talk. A little relaxation/meditation done before and/or after training does not qualify in our minds. One of the secrets to a student/teachers martial and spiritual power, especially healing power, is their ability to have an immovable mind—a detached state but with full sensory input. This type of mind power is best forged out in nature under ascetic (hard) elemental training. Few dojos conduct this form of spiritual training. But we do!
