Please find the following question and comment at the end of the seminar. Much of this discussion has to do with Norito which is a shinto prayer recited by the Osa after Soku Shin No Gyo (bell misogi). Please note that Norito is much more then a prayer but should be considered a celebration of life. The words chanted during bell misogi – To Ho Kami Emi Tame loosely translated means “With the sharp sword of my will, I penetrate the mirror universe, polishing my soul like a beautiful crystal ball.”… sums up the meaning of bell misogi and Norito. If you would like to purchase a cd to learn the Norito please contact us mauikiaikido @ gmail.com. aloha, The Moderator

Dear Students, Head Instructors, Once again we are looking forward to our annual Taigi Competition.  This year, as you know, it will be held on the island of Maui at the Shunshinkan Dojo.  I greatly hope that all dojo in HKF will give their utmost to participate, including under 18 division, adult, and group taigi. remember, everyone with rank of Yondan or below is eligible to participate. In addition, this year marks that one year anniversary of Suzuki Sensei’s passing.  Appropriately we will be having a special “mystery unveiling” in the dojo, as well as an opportunity at the banquet for some personal reminiscences, including visits from Suzuki Sensei’s brother and son. Please click here:  TAIGI SEMINAR FLYER to download the flyer for this seminar, which includes your registration form. We look forward to seeing everyone this year on Maui! Sincere Aloha, Chris Curtis Chief Instructor
