Group feedback


feel connected, centred and it is very energising
can feel more energy in my body
the forms are natural and fun to do
my body came alive
deeper connection with self
reached areas I didn't even know I had
it makes me feel much better and wonderful
felt flow, meditative, balanced, focused
great to be able to practice outdoors
felt immediate connection with earth, sky and heaven
invigorating, enjoyed partner stretches, seaweed movement
experienced greater flexibility in my body
relaxing rhythms, loosening up and extending ki
felt very grounded and connected to body
woke me up, use of big voice is awesome
lots of good partner and group work
liked the combination of exercise, stretching, meditation
felt the mind, body, spirit connection
loved the flow, laughing and fun while loosening up
realising that the space between my fingers went forever
felt my body getting lighter, enjoyed being together with people
liked being able to move at my body's own pace

(above feedback was from a group Shintaido practice where most participants had experienced Shintaido for the first time)


"Whenever a student's form is corrected, it is natural that his mode of thinking will change and his philosophy will deepen.

This leads to a renewal of consciousness which leads in turn to social awareness, all of which re-enters the forms: an endless circle."
