It is with great sadness I mark the passing of David Brown-so many memories
My first sensei and friend- I feel very sad- you will be missed as a person and ine of the last magnificent Aikido-

Aikido Victoria is sadly passing on the message from Scott Eggenton:

"It is with the heaviest hearts to inform you all that David (Brown) has passed away, blissfully, peacefully in the light of the morning sun shining through his window onto his face, he was with not alone at any point, cared and loved for. He slipped away with the ease and grace you would expect David to do. Let's all pray for Dave Sensei..."

So I went to meditation tonight and afterwards I asked a question about breathing of my teacher. There was a couple there too and first one and then the other started answering my question which was directed at the teacher. I thought it was the hight of rudeness and hubris. They continued to try to instruct me while we are all kneeling within a metre of the very calm teacher. I found it irritating of course I wasn’t interested in “their opinions “ I directed my question at the teacher who i trust. It occurred to me these people appear in the martial arts and aikido. People attempting to usurp the teaching role and showing false humility. This is poison. Trainees should avoid these people and do everything to curb any impulse to behave this way. False humility is fake, repulsive, (halts spiritual growth), when we are receiving lessons from those we trust we dont need interjections from those we dont. Worse some beginners don’t know who they should listen too. Dont be that guy!
False modesty can happen with sensei too. It is especially noticeable when they start affecting a quiet voice out of nowhere 😀
