Any To-Shin Do students in the metro Washington, DC area?

2008-08-11T20:35:38Z

Hello, everyone.
I'm looking to see if there are any students of To-Shin Do living in the
metro Washington, DC area, perhaps former students, perhaps some
long-distance learners, or perhaps some aspiring TSD students that would be
interested in getting together for some training.
Holler back if interested.

Just a short word of thanks to all those involved in Mr Norris' seminar last weekend

It was my first time training with Mr Norris and I have to say I wish I'd been able to attend previous events!
Many thanks, sir, for so openly sharing your skill, experience and energy. Yet another To-Shin Do senior proves to be an inspiration.

Michael,

I know there have been a lot of good recommendations here. I'm a
L.D.S. as well.

Anshu Hayes covers the first basics of it in "Ninja Vol. 1: Spirit of
the Shadow Warrior" starting on page 105 (chapter 6). I recommend
starting with page 93 (chapter 5) which covers active meditaiton that

Michael,
You're time would be very well spent going over the meditation exercises
in Anshu Hayes' first book in the Ohara series. These are the BEST
books available in the English language for learning the martial arts
and sciences that Stephen Hayes has received from his teachers. As
others have reminded me in the past, there is enough there for you and

Hello All,
I got back last Friday from a fantastic trip to South Africa to train with
Denis Dorward and Rick Bothma and their students.
Denis and Rick are running a Quest Affiliate Group in the area northeast of
Jo'Burg and have a wonderful group of students training with them.
The country is beautiful and the hospitality was absolutely incredible.

Hi Michael
The previous replies have excellent information.
Some of the "sixth sense" may evolve from many many hours of realistic tai-jutsu training. Especially, and this may be difficult for you as a long distance student, with a variety of training partners. Take advantage of every opportunity you can to train with groups and at seminars.

Kuji #5 training is probably a good start. Although there is not a lot
of teachers out there that have worked with it so it may be a bit
difficult. I also see that you are a LDS student so I believe that
AnShu's books will be a great help. I believe that in either Vol. 1 or 2
he has some good training that may start you off honing this skill.

Hello,
I believe that the Sakki test used in the Bujinkan Dojo under Soke Masaaki
Hatsumi is the first step to being able to recognize the feeling of danger.
Being able to live with the ability of this "sixth" sense is the true
lesson.

start training the sixth sense. try the six books in his series.

Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for exercises / activities to
train and hone the sixth sense? One further question: is the sakki
test the ultimate test of this skill or are there other attributes
that I can look for?
