    #S15 Special Episode - Andy Watson's "Control & Calibration" continued

    The goal of the “In-Depth Look” series of videos is to explore these subjects in more detail — examining the relevance, efficacy, and methods of incorporating these work and life experiences into budo practice, budo teaching, and community building.  In this episode, Andy Watson and I continue our conversation around "Control & Calibration" (C&C) theory for approaching Iaido practice.  To learn more, go to the Ryoshinkan website: https://www.ryoshinkan.org/cc  ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀   THE PODCAST IS A VOLUNTEER EFFORT SUSTAINED THROUGH COMMUNITY SUPPORT!  You can keep this podcast going!  💪 Sponsor this podcast → https://www.patreon.com/tokushikaicanada 👍 Tip this episode → https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patricksuen You can join the conversation!  👨‍🎓 Engage the community on Facebook and Instagram @tokushikai.canada   ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀   Be notified when new episodes are published by subscribing to the channels:  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/tokushikaicanada Podcast: https://anchor.fm/tokushikai-canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
