Budo: The Way Of The Warrior Podcast

In this episode, recorded off the mat, Valadez Sensei continues his series of discussions on the Founder's mysticism, and on the semantic problem of understanding that mysticism from the point of view of the Modern episteme. These discussion will provide historical context to the Founder's practice and the centrality that his religiosity held in within his art. They will also culminate in a position on what exactly was the art for the Founder and what it could be for us as well.
