About me (and link to blog for History of Martial Arts and Anime class)
https://sbpmartialarts.blogspot.com/
The above link is the link to the History of Martial Arts and Anime class that I help teach during the
Spring. As I mentioned before, this coming Spring (2019) will be the first year that this class focuses
on both the history of martial arts and anime instead of just focusing more on martial arts and how it
is seen in anime (I actually don't know if it will be different at all actually - I can sum up the history
of anime in one sentence: Anime started in Japan and it's more popular there than it is here). Since I
already have the link to my anime blog on the blog for the Spring class, I figured I
should also have the link to the blog for the Spring class on my anime blog. With these blogs, you
can also get a better idea of more about me in terms of what I do and why. I would also like to offer
a little more about myself in this post.
As I mention on the blogs, I am currently a monk. To be more precise, a Benedictine monk. This
distinction is important because of what Benedictine monks do, which is pray and work, as well as
focus on how we, the community, live (this isn't everything, but I don't really need to explain all of it
here - there are other sources that already do that since there are several kinds of monks, as well as
forms of religious life). This focus is not only on the entire community, but also on each member of
the community. For example, everyone in the community is Catholic, but our beliefs as Catholic
individuals can be different as long as we can live as a community, which is why I like living in a
community (for example, I personally think spirituality is more important than religion, but both are
still important - can be seen in anime, but I don't focus on that). Experiences are important, and
living in a community allows you to experience more together, as well as make sense of your own
experiences by sharing them with others (example of personal experience - I am a cancer survivor).
This is something I do with the monks I live and work with, as well as with who else I work with and
what else I do. I don't really need to write all of this here.
As for what else I would write on this blog, and use it for, I don't really know. As of now, I only
have plans to talk about anime in the Spring class. Writing more about anime, or anything else for
that matter, depends on what I'm interested in and feel like doing, as well as when I have the time to
do it (I try to do at least one post a week). As for the videos I use in writing about anime on this
blog, if I don't say everything I think about them in the reflections I write (easy to edit posts if I want
or need to), then I can let the videos speak for themselves (my anime posts on the history of martial
arts and anime blog have little to no writing from me).
