Deputy Grandmaster Craig Season 5 Episode 14

In this episode, we examine the Japanese Shinto Practice of Misogi which involves cleansing the mind, body, and spirit through physical and mental challenges.  It usually involves water cleansing in sacred waterfalls, lakes, or rivers either alone or in small groups.  In our physical martial art training, we discuss the "pattern pyramid" and how to accomplish it as a preliminary activity before your Misogi.  Lastly, we talk about prayer and fasting, cold and hot plunges as part of your mental martial art training doe preparation.
