This was really nice. Years ago I taught calligraphy (English), and for some styles a circle is very important. So to start my students I would line the walls with paper & have them start making huge circles, then gradually make them smaller & smaller while trying to retain the sense of it being done with the whole body, even when it was now being done small & with a pen. Because I believe that the movement originates from a place other than the hand and that if you have captured & can channel that energy, you will be able to do it with every part of your body.

For people who dont know what the circle is, it's called the Enso, and it's mostly drawn with calligraphy. The Enso or 'Zen' circle means enlightenment, Void, Incompleteness, And The nature of zen.

Great application to the art! Sensei Ray, you have truely proven that the understanding of the core principles of martial arts can be applied to other arts as well and the connection between the brush and the sword/footwork. I hope to be as refined as you have become! Great video and hope to see you again soon!

I would be so gratefuL if you could post a link to your friend who was classically trained in calligrapy. I see you made your own brush with her instruction. Ultimately, I would live to make my own brush. Is that shrink plastic covering a bamboo ferrel? These magnificent big brushes cost around $700.- to buy. I am fascinated by these huge ink creations & performances. Thankyou kindly for your response.

Greetings, enjoyed your video and your comments. I teach Cha-no-yu and find that helping others (and myself) understand and apply the principles and actions from practice beyond the Tearoom and as the fabric of their life is the real practice of Do.

Then that's what he makes. Look up enso. It's a practice, a daily meditation thing, so if you're not peaceful and collected within, then you just may end up making an oval, but that's fine. That's what you created at that moment, in that day, when you were immersed in those feelings, emotions, and situations in that day, at that moment. It's kind of like your external actions and your external products, your fruits, will reflect what's going on within you.

The art of Zen painting? Do you know anything about Zen? Or just martial arts and painting circles? Yet you compete? Competition is a desire is it not?
