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

SOKE ANSHU CHRISTA JACOBSON - IGA RYU DENSHO

 

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.”

What is the Importance of Soke today?

 

SOKE ANSHU CHRISTA JACOBSON - TRUE POWER

 

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.

SOKE ANSHU CHRISTA JACOBSON - NINJUTSU SCROLLS

 

Here, I am sharing some of the scrolls of the Tomo-ryu with a few of my most dedicated students.
.
As the 21st Soke of Tomo-ryu, I feel this is more than just historical importance, it is a responsibility. A Soke is not just an instructor, but a bridge between the past and the present. My master entrusted me with the preservation of the scrolls, densho and secrets of the ryuha.
.
The Makimono and Densho of the Tomo Ryu are more than historical records. Within their writings contain the strategies, principles, and esoteric teachings preserved through generations of disciplined practitioners who understood that wisdom loses its value when given freely.
.
Power belongs to those capable of wielding its responsibly, so too are the secrets of the tradition revealed only to those who have demonstrated unwavering loyalty, dedication, and perseverance.
.
The scrolls do not merely teach technique; they transmit a legacy, connecting the student to the shadows of those who came before, ensuring that the deeper mysteries of the tradition remain protected from the curious and preserved for the committed.
.
Tradition survives not through public recognition, but through the secret transmission from teacher to student. In this way, the lineage remains alive, not as a relic of the past, but as a weapon of wisdom carried forward by those fierce enough to walk through the door to train and carry on the tradition.

SOKE ANSHU CHRISTA JACOBSON - BANSENSHUKAI

 

 

BANSENSHUKAI (萬川集海)
READ IN FULL - NINJA DENSHO
.
Here, I am with a Ninjutsu Densho from my private collection called the: Bansenshukai.
.
The Bansenshukai (萬川集海) is an authentic ninjutsu manual written by Fujibayashi Yasutake in 1676. It is regarded as one of the three key historical texts of ninjutsu, along with the Shoninki and the Ninpiden. The Bansenshukai translates out as: “Ten Thousand Rivers Flow Together To Form An Ocean” and is regarded as the bible of ninjutsu.
.
“You should embrace the old ways of the shinobi who served under ancient great generals, but remember not only to keep these ways but to adapt them, each dependent on the situation and the moment. Ignorant ninja are not aware of this principal but directly stick to ancient ways and do not even know the simplest of facts. It is folly to see something as unchangeable and stick to an old method without realizing that things keep changing and are in flux."
- Fujibayashi Yasutake; Bansenshukai (1676)
