This is weird question, but here it comes. I was reading a book about Miyamoto Musashi, and it said something to the effect of he stayed at an artist colony. For those who haven't read about his histroy or The Book of Five Rings, he stresses the interconected-ness of all arts ("to learn the sword, study the guitar"). Now with these two facts in mind, I got thinking.
1. Has anyone who studied Martial Arts stayed in an artist colony, and used Martial Arts as the art they went there with. Keep in mind artist colonies are about people form differnit arts coming, staying, and practicing there arts together. So, there would be people who did painting, played intrusments, and metal smiths training in one place.
2. Is there such thing as a Martial Artist Colony? Now I'm not talking about like a live in dojo. But a place were people from differnit styles come together and bounce ideas, concepts and techniques off each other. One could easily say "Yah, your at it. It's called a forum". But I mean in person. It's one thing to explain it, but anouther to be taught it. Got me?
3. If such a thing existed, would you try to stay at it?
Have at it
