Why did we choose the Warrior name?
The central warrior model from which this program is derived is the teachings of Myamoto Musashi, a 16th century Japanese Samurai master who became a legendary swordsman, artist, poet and teacher in his own lifetime, and for centuries after his death. Musashi was of the Bushido class, the warriors. During his extraordinary life he attained
unrivaled dominance as a swordsman and a teacher, and he did so by courageously and unwaveringly following his Heiho, technically translated as “The Warrior’s Way”, and expanded by Musashi to mean “one’s own path to enlightenment”. This is not the same as enlightenment itself, it is the way to get there.

While Musashi passionately believed that heiho ensures success, it is not the success itself that is the warrior’s focus. He believed that the essential core of the bushi (warrior) consisted of iron will, indomitable spirit, fierce courage, love of truth, passion for one’s craft, and unshakable commitment to one’s path to enlightenment (heiho). Everything else falls into place. Our programs strive to unleash the power and fulfillment of this warrior spirit.
