The Strategist... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

Never allow what you believe should happen, to blind you to what is happening. The weak see the world through hope. The frightened see it through fear. The strategist removes both, and looks directly into the void. - Soke Anshu

True Stealth... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

True stealth is not just hiding in the shadows, but concealing your intention to adapt to any situation.
- Soke Anshu

True Weapon of the Ninja.... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

The true weapon of the ninja is not what the enemy sees, but what he fears is hidden from him. Create uncertainty and chaos, while using deception to your advantage. - Soke Anshu

The Wise Warrior..... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

The wise warrior does not train for the battle he expects. He trains for the moment when everything goes wrong, the odds become impossible, and survival depends upon what he forged in the silence before the storm.  - Soke Anshu

The End Justifies The Means - Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

Recognize the Shadow... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

Danger rarely wears the face we expect. Train yourself to recognize the shadow before it becomes the hand upon your throat.

A Ninja Understands... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

A ninja understands that those who control the secrets of the night, controls the outcome of the day. - Soke Anshu

To Study Ninjutsu... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

To study ninjutsu, is not to embrace violence, but to master necessity. A ninja who relies on honor, where deception is required, is digging their own grave.

Life is Energy... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

Life is a constant exchange of energy. What we dwell upon, we strengthen. What we believe, we begin to embody. What we repeatedly give our attention to, becomes the direction of our lives. Darkness is not a reason to stop believing in the light. You cannot always choose what happens to you—but you can choose what you become because of it. - Soke Anshu

Life Will Bring Betrayal... Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

Life will bring betrayal, heartbreak, hardship, and loss. None of us are exempt from the darkness. But we are not defined by what happens to us—we are defined by the energy we choose to carry forward. Put light into the world, even after you have walked through darkness. What you give your energy to, you give power to. Choose your thoughts carefully, choose your path consciously, and keep moving toward the life you want to create. - Soke Anshu

Connecting To Nature - Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

The ninja does not force reality. They connect to the natural energy of the universe, and focus their intention to create and manifest change in their reality. - Soke Anshu

Training in the Shadows - Soke Anshu Christa Jacobson

 

 

The sword is taught in the light. Its true purpose is learned in the shadows. I do not teach my students merely how to wield the blade—I teach them how to become dangerous without ever being seen.
