我的师父常提起他的老师对 “持续性武术训练” 重要性的信念。

他分享过老师的修行历程 —— 如何将自我投入到超越身体技能的练习中，以此塑造精神与心智。

就像传统歌舞伎演员在台下也始终维持角色状态一样，他的师父坚持认为 “训练必须成为不可或缺的日常实践”。

作为武者，他师父常说：“我们必须践行‘武風一貫’（Bufu Ikkan），即‘始终如一的武士生活’。” 这是他的核心教诲：永不言弃，持续前行。

早年：超越常规的奉献

持续性武术训练：武者之道（Musha Dori）

在训练初期，我的老师决心追求卓越。他投入的身体练习强度是其他学生的三倍，倾注了三倍的精神专注力，更投入三倍资源去汲取所需的智慧。通过这种极致的投入，他变得极为强大。

但随着力量增长，一种奇异的 “虚弱感” 却悄然浮现。这种新的脆弱感深深困扰着他，尽管努力探寻，却始终无法追溯根源。然而，他选择信任训练本身，坚信武道传统终将带来启示。“武士之道，是对死亡的毅然接纳。”—— 宫本武藏

疾病的挑战：真 strength 的试金石

持续性武术训练：三人通（Sannindori）

某天，我的师父遭遇了一个强大的敌人 —— 疾病。它让他虚弱到甚至难以站立，有时连视物都极为困难。五年间，他忍受着这场试炼，疾病的折磨让他一度觉得 “放弃比活着更容易”。正是在这时，他发现过去的 “强大” 不过是假象 —— 他的力量依赖于健康，当健康衰退，力量也随之瓦解。

他逐渐明白：真正的力量必须超越身体状态。在困境中消逝的力量，不过是短暂的表象。 因此，即便身体衰弱，他仍尽其所能坚持训练。渐渐地，他的健康开始恢复。“人必须每日打磨自心，如同磨砺刀剑。”—— 柳生宗矩

让训练适应生命的变化

持续性武术训练：影之构（Kage no Kamae）

回首过往，他意识到：正是持续性的武术训练支撑他度过患病岁月。他将训练调整到与有限体能相匹配的状态，从而发现 “训练必须随生命阶段进化”—— 年轻武者需高强度练习，年长武者则需更专注的路径；甚至疾病本身也是一种训练，而直面死亡则是武士的终极修行。

师父常说：真正的力量，源于让训练与当下现实相契合。顺应生命阶段的训练，才能成为持久坚韧的力量之源。“智者武士避战；若必战，则战必胜。”—— 山本常朝

对 “力量” 的重新认知

经历多年疾病后，师父终于明白：真正的力量超越肉体，不依赖速度或蛮力。他开始珍视 “自然合宜之技”—— 一种顺应自然与环境、而非对抗的力量。如此，他寻获了一种超越传统武馆所教的、更高层次的适应性力量。

穿越困境期

师父深知，武者常面临 “技法看似无解、训练令人挫败” 的阶段。他教导说：这些挣扎期至关重要。如同蛇蜕去旧皮，我们也必须经历不适才能成长。他称此为 “蜕皮期”—— 此时武者易被诱惑，寻求更简易的技法。但他告诫不可分心：这些诱惑只是暂时逃避，而非真正的解决方案。

不过他也提醒：并非所有人都适合精通每门技艺。有时目标可能根本不契合，需重新审视道路。但对那些真正心怀使命的人而言，持续性武术训练终将引领他们超越这些挑战阶段。

赤诚投入的力量

师父始终强调：真正的训练需要纯粹赤诚之心，而非单纯堆砌技法。缺乏自我觉察的训练，只能造就 “行走的技法目录” 式学者，而非有心之人。唯有深度且持续投入者，才能洞悉武术的本质，获得超越技法的永恒力量。

英文原文：

Put Your Heart and Soul into Consistent Martial Training

My master often spoke of his teacher’s belief in the importance of consistent martial training. He shared stories of his teacher’s journey, how he devoted himself to a level of practice that went beyond physical skill to shape his spirit and mind. Much like traditional Kabuki actors who sustain their roles off-stage, his master insisted that training be an integral, daily practice. As martial artists, my master’s teacher would say, we must embrace Bufu Ikkan, or “consistent warrior living.” This was his core lesson: never give up. Keep going.

Early Years: Devotion Beyond Normal Limits

Consistent Martial Training; Musha Dori

In his early days of training, my teacher was determined to achieve greatness. He threw himself into physical practice three times harder than other students. He put in three times the mental focus and invested three times the resources to gain the wisdom he needed. Through this intense devotion, he became very strong.

But as he grew in strength, he felt a strange weakness arise. This new vulnerability troubled him deeply, and despite his efforts, he couldn’t identify its cause. Yet, he trusted his training and continued, confident that the martial tradition itself would bring clarity.

“The way of the warrior is the resolute acceptance of death.” — Miyamoto Musashi

The Challenge of Illness: A Test of True Strength

Consistent Martial Training; Sannindori

One day, my master faced a powerful enemy—illness. It left him weak, even struggling to stand. At times, he couldn’t see. For five years, he endured this trial, and the demands of his illness made him feel that giving up might be easier than living. It was here that he discovered his past strength had been an illusion. His power depended on his health; as his health declined, so did his strength.

True strength, he learned, must go beyond physical condition. Strength that fades in hardship is merely temporary. So, even in his weakened state, he continued training however he could. Slowly, he began to regain his health.

“One must polish one’s heart daily, like a sword.” — Yagyū Munenori

Adapting Training to Life’s Changes

consistent martial training; Kage no Kamae

Looking back, he realized that consistent martial training had carried him through his years of illness. He had adapted his training to fit his limited energy and discovered that training must evolve with life’s stages. He learned that young warriors train intensely, while older ones need a more focused approach. Even illness has its own form of training, and facing death is the final training of a warrior.

True strength, my master would say, comes from matching our training to our current reality. Training adapted to life stages becomes a source of lasting, resilient strength.

“The wise warrior avoids the battle; when he must fight, he fights only to win.” — Tsunetomo Yamamoto

Rethinking Strength

After years of illness, my master understood that true power goes beyond the physical. It doesn’t depend on speed or brute force. Instead, he came to value “natural and fitting technique”—a strength that flows with nature and conditions, not against them. In doing so, he found a higher, adaptive strength beyond what traditional martial arts schools might teach.

Pushing Through Difficult Periods

My teacher knew martial artists often face times when techniques seem impossible, and training becomes frustrating. He taught that these periods of struggle are crucial. Like a snake shedding its skin, we too must experience discomfort to grow. This “molting period,” as he called it, can tempt martial artists to look elsewhere for easier techniques. Yet, he advised against these distractions, saying they’re a temporary escape, not a solution.

However, he also cautioned that not everyone is suited to master every art. Sometimes, a goal may simply not fit, and one may need to reevaluate their path. But for those who feel a true calling, consistent martial training will provide growth beyond these challenging phases.

The Power of Sincere Commitment

My master always taught that true training requires a pure, sincere heart, not just an accumulation of techniques. Training without self-awareness produces only a scholar, a “walking catalog of techniques” without heart. Only those who commit deeply and consistently will discover the true essence of martial arts and gain the lasting strength that lies beyond technique.
