Revised Dates Posted for Kuji no In DVDs Due From Anshu Stephen K. Hayes

Greetings, everyone. This just in:

We've just detected there has been a change in the scheduled release of two Kuji-In DVDs to be released from martial arts legend Anshu Stephen K. Hayes, the "first American ninja."

As we have previously reported, Anshu Hayes is poised to re-introduce his monthly private-lesson DVD study program, and the first six lessons include two on the Kuji no In, otherwise known, of course, as the Kuji-In.

The May installment was originally scheduled to feature "Kuji no In Overview Part 1," with a follow-up part 2 slated for the June edition. However, that's been backed up a month. The first Kuji DVD will come out in June now, according to Mr. Hayes' Web site, while the follow-up is slated for release in July.

And as previously noted in our original posting, subscribers to the monthly program will still get their DVDs in a more timely manner at a reduced price point per DVD than those that wait to buy individual DVDs separately.

But if you just want the two Kuji DVDs, perhaps the smartest approach to take is to join the subscription program right before June or on June 1, then quit after you receive the July DVD. That way you get them both right away, and at a price that's about $5 off the regular price point.

However, I don't know if there is a minimum number of months for the subscription, and if I can find out, I'll provide an update.

Check out this page on his Stephen K. Hayes Quest Web site for more information on his private-lesson DVD program.

Anshu Hayes has previously released for public consumption a DVD you might be interested in, "Kuji 6: Thought Projection," which can also be purchased online at his Web site.

In the meantime, as the great teacher of myth, Joseph Campbell often said, "follow your bliss."

Has anyone commented on the Kuji6 DVD? Is this something worth examining?

Hi, Dave. Thanks for posting comments. I'm just getting around to them now; sorry for the delay.

To answer your question, I know of no comments on this yet. I have this DVD in my collection and have watched it a couple of times.

I was disappointed the first time around, but got a lot more out of it the second time around, once I had some personal, hands-on instruction in the Kuji-In basics.

I'm planning on posting some sort of review of the Kuji 6 disc after I see one or both of the new ones.

The Kuji 6 material really just seemed to be a bit of a taste, not the Kuji 101, Kuji For Dummies that I think I was hoping for.

There's precious little available on the Kuji, so if you're very interested in the subject, it might be worth it. But if you're looking for something that gives you a comprehensive, how-to introduction, you won't find it here.

I hope that helps.

Thanks again for the comments. Feel free to submit more or otherwise opine.
