Kyushindo Philosophy

Kyushindo Philosophy in brief...

The Universe was stated under a great principle of creation, which had existed from the beginning of Time. The Universe has been controlled and governed by the principle that all things transmigrate.

The Laws of the Universe: -

The Law of Transmigration.

The Law of Rhythm.

The Law of Harmony.

Kyu-Shin-Do is the understanding through knowledge and experience of the principles of the Universe and the understanding of the true way of life through Japanese Judo.

All things in existence, are governed by the Universe and shall be a rhythmical cycle of birth, existence, and death.

We can enjoy the highest form of life by mutual understanding between oneself and the Universe and by harmonizing with all things in "general".

The Universe revolves and therefore always keeps in perfect balance and must have a center and radius governed by geometrical motion. Therefore we must bear in mind, that every movement on the earth, is controlled by Universal evolutions.

Therefore, the student of Judo shall strive for perfection and harmonize with everything by opening his mind and body by relaxing first his mind and then his body. This idea conforms to nature.

The fundamental principle of the spiritual side of the human being must be, gratitude to the principles of the Universe. This gratitude is the first and foremost, love, and the first step to communication with all "people". This leads to love towards parents, friends, and all "things" in the Universe.

The first step towards Kyu Shin Do is to have, a clear understanding of each other through cooperation and affection towards each other. In the spirit of this most needed principle, we live in a healthy and perfect harmony in the world, of today.

The ultimate aim of Kyu Shin Do is the achievement of permanent peace and happiness for the human race; which is the understanding towards neighbor, of the highest ideals, and gratitude for all things. A person who does not have an understanding mind and does not make any, effort to understand his neighbor does not receive any respect or rewards.

To learn and perform good techniques is not the only aim or object of Judo. Judo is a way towards universal understanding and is just one of the many roads that can lead to world peace and Universal happiness. The way of Judo is not only the realization of one's aim in life but also gives the training and discipline necessary to strive to make an effort for life in peace and unity.

All life, of any kind, exists in the Universe and has a continual flow of circulation and transmigration - for instance, we consume food and expel the waste. The donor who is ready to give and does not ask or think will surely be compensated by someone else. Similarly, if a man robs someone else, he, in turn, will be treated likewise. The practice of Judo is the same principle.

The human race in this world has the law of the Universe instilled in it. This is embodied in the principle that if we love, and our actions, motions, and motives are of a peaceful harmonizing nature, they will be returned by those whom we have treated, similarly.

The individual who is shy of work or pulling their weight, in a community cannot make progress and can be neither relied upon nor desired. On the other hand, if he attends to his work with an effort to please, and works in harmony, his actions are always rewarded in some way.

The principal idea of Judo is always to give your best. Individuals, who make an effort, to give their best is always well rewarded in life.

"Kyu Shin Do" starts with natural posture, which means the perfect relaxation of the mind and body, free from petty anxieties and illnesses. Actions, of "Kyu Shin Do" are gentle smooth movements, soft, quick, and safe. These movements spring from a relaxed mind and body, which helps to build up strength and purpose.

We shall try to make an effort to harmonize with the Universe, otherwise, we will discover that it is against us. The accumulation of effort is a steady circular movement about the center of gravity and radius.
