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, 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
This lesson is directly for the practitioners of the ancient
Japanese koryu martial arts of the ninja and samurai, such as ninjutsu (ninpo)
and bujutsu (budo).
In this video, I express my concern with this growing
“Online Ninja Community” that has all of this knowledge but no skills.This is a very dangerous direction for the
ninjutsu community because “the way” is in training.The purpose of training is to be able to
defend yourself, the ones you love and the ones that cannot fight for
themselves.Any REAL practitioner of
ninjutsu would tell you, we find our balance through the study and practice of
ancient warfare.There needs to be a
balance with study and practice… mind and body…

In the modern era, we live in a time where if you do
not have the answer readily available either online or otherwise, it is fake or
not true.This in itself is a very
dangerous way of thinking because these arts were written a certain way, for
only a select few to be able to have the knowledge – as long as they were
willing to train to obtain the warrior skills needed to be able to use the knowledge.

In this video, I discuss the philosophy and understanding of
how, within the modern social construct of which we live, we are drowning in
knowledge and starving for wisdom. This is a crucial lesson for all that is
studying the ancient ways, because we live in a world with knowledge so easily obtained
and wisdom never attained.
