Episode 76: "Aikido Ritual: The Order and Disorder of Things"

Budo: The Way of the Warrior Podcast

In this episode, recorded on the mat, Valadez Sensei addresses a deshi's comment on the cultural shock of going off to the university. This topic extends into seeing Aikido Kihon Waza as ritual, and the dojo as an alternative to the way of the world, Americanist nihilism, mental illness and unwellness.
