DOJO SHUGYO-KUN
The training rules at Tokimune Takeda’s Daitokan dojo:
1. The Dojo is a place of the spirit, we begin with courtesy
(rei) and end with courtesy;
2. The Way becomes profound, single-mindedly condition and
train yourself – never give up;
3. Pride is the beginning of inattention, and the origin of
destruction;
4. Always be serious, sincerity is first;
5. The ultimate level of the Way is Harmony, that is the goal
of this Ryu.
THE KAMIZA OF DAITOKAN
Kamiza (上座) is the Japanese language term referring to the
"top seat" within a room, meaning the place of honor. The
antonym, meaning "bottom seat," is shimoza (下座). In a room,
the kamiza is the seat or position that is most comfortable,
usually furthest from the door because this is warmest, and
was safest from attack back in the feudal period.
◯ The sheet
hanging in the shelf of the kamiza contained a philosophical
phrase or a Zen motto, it changed every month.
