20. Out of the Dojo
7 months ago
19. Bach's Bible
8 months ago
The martial arts train people to defend themselves from mortal danger. So what happens when one master opens up the imagination of other masters to live non-violently, and to address social dangers instead of purely physical ones?

Produced by Shiraz Janjua, Trent Gilliss, and Mitch Hanley

    Well stated, Tom. To those who are not familiar with the Ultimate Black Belt Test, it truly is an avenue to improve oneself by improving others, the future and the world around us. Though it is not at all the "Tom Show" the way many other martial arts masters 'lead', Tom is remarkable, articulate, hilarious and inspiring.
    Tom is a man wildly optimistic and fanatically
    active in changing our world and our training through
    methods and ideas far outside the box. Part Bruce Lee,
    part Robin Williams with a dab of Julia Butterfly Hill,
    this man makes people feel good - not just about the
    present and the future - but feel ecstatic, delighted,
    inspired, driven and motivated to make today and to-
    morrow something out of the ordinary.

    Tom Callos and Shiraz Janjua, The Ultimate Black Belt Test is inspiring; your "Out of the Dojo" video, beautiful. Taking Power and Love off the mat is indeed a spiritual enterprise. Thanks!

    I wonder whether you are aware of the Peace Dojo movement that has developed out of aikido since 1997 and now includes 20 dojos on four continents now based variously in Capoeira, Karate and Taekwondo as well as aikido?

    You can see the movement's development on urbanvisionsinc.org and aiki-extensions.org. Please drop me a line.
