Taijutsu is not the art of overpowering an opponent. It is the art of removing every position from which they believe they have power.

Taijutsu is not the art of overpowering an opponent. It is the art of removing every position from which they believe they have power.
When
I uploaded my first YouTube video back in 2007, I never imagined that
one day 30 million people from around the world would watch and learn
from my martial arts.
.
To every
student, subscriber, supporter, and friend who has watched a video,
shared the channel, attended a seminar, or trained in the dojo… thank
you. Your encouragement has helped preserve and share the traditions of
ninjutsu with people across the globe.
.
This
milestone isn’t an ending—it’s a reminder that there are still more
lessons to teach, more history to preserve, and more people to inspire
to begin training.
.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey.

Here’s to the next chapter.

Here, I am with a Densho from my private collection called the: Iga-ryu Kanpo Suikyo no Maki (伊賀流間法水鏡之卷). This manual has a strong focus on espionage, and translates out as the “Iga-ryu Water Mirror Tactics of Espionage.”
True
power is not found in the strength of the body alone, but in the
refinement of the spirit. Through meditation and disciplined cultivation
of one’s inner Ki, the practitioner learns to perceive the hidden
currents that flow through all things. When the KI within is brought
into harmony with the KI that exists beyond the self, barriers dissolve
and influence expands.
.
Those
who understand this principle do not struggle against the world—they
move with its unseen forces, bending circumstance, opportunity, and
destiny to their advantage. The wise know that mastery of the invisible
is often more potent than mastery of the visible, for the greatest
victories are won long before the conflict is seen by others.
