Intro to Hojo

  • Daiyuzenji Rinzai Zen Temple 3717 N. Ravenswood Ave., Ste. 112 Chicago, IL 60613 (map)

For the next 3 months, we will focus on the “Ken” of “Zen-Ken-Sho” set forth by Omori Roshi as a way to create a balanced life.  

The Hojo sword Kata is used as a practical method at Daiyuzenji to give one a deeper meaning in life and to cut off all of the habits you have acquired from the day you were born and ultimately to help in the realization of the “true self” through these methods…

  1. Correct breathing

  2. Correct Posture

  3. Correct frame of mind

Please join us on June 17 as we will be focusing exclusively on the Spring Kata through repetition. This is a wonderful opportunity for beginners as well as more advanced students with the direct intention of the memorization of the entire “Spring Kata”.
