The founder of Birankai on the importance of training with as many different people as you can.

Seasonal transitions are notoriously difficult to absorb and often lead to us transitioning right out of the habits we are working so hard to build. This is where developing a selflessness in our training becomes of paramount importance; every choice made to retreat to the comfort of the couch and TV after a long day’s work, or to hit the snooze button on a dark and rainy morning, robs your potential partners of their practice and stunts and diminishes yours.
