Serious Question: Do ever worry that you'll end up spending all this time, effort, hard-work and, yes, money on training to build your "skill proficiency," only to end up in a situation where you find yourself out-skilled, outnumbered, cornered, and a whole host of other possibilities where you're not, as one of my teachers called it, "the biggest dog in the fight?"

I ask because far too many student's think they're invincible because "they got skills."  But this art is founded on the premise that 1) you can't survive everything, and 2) even if you do, there's no guarantee the threat is over just because you took down your attacker.  The Ninja knew, and this is something Soke has taught that, if you're serious about learning actual Ninjutsu (and not just something thrown together with the name attached) you should NEVER forget... "you can win the battle and still lose the war!"

And that, my fellow warrior, is exactly where the Togakure Ninja's Bo-Ryaku ('unconventional strategies and tactics') come into play, and what makes it different from the coventional, toe-to-toe, brute-force approach within Bushido. It's also the theme for this week's training - from the KUDEN! podcast all the way through the Ninpo-Taijutsu classes... and also what we focused on during yesterday's Warrior's Whiteboard Wednesday training.

If you DID catch the training, or just want to take your Ninpo-Taijutsu training to a whole New Level and dimension...

Here's the link to register for this week's virtual Ninjutsu class from my dojo via Zoom, tomorrow, January 24th at 6pm eastern, where I'll be leading students like you through a few example techniques and strategies that highlight we looked at during yesterday's online strategy and tactics class!

If you already registered for this week's Master Class, then I'll see you during the training (unless you're just getting the recording, of course!). If you haven't registered and don't want to miss out, or want to make sure you get the video recording of the class... you can do that by clicking on the pic, or on the link below it to lock in your spot now (remember, there are only 20 available, and several are already gone!):
 

Register here: http://onlineninjaacademy.com/friday-virtual-training/

This special online, live, virtual class is only $9 for the 75 - 90 minute lesson, the full class recording, or both if you show up to the class!  REMEMBER: whether you can mae the class or not, you get forever access to the class recording!  That's a steal, considering the usual $35/class group training fee charged for training with a Dai-Shihan... here or in Japan!

Remember though, there are only a maximum of  20  spots available, and several are already gone... so, time and spaces are running out quickly. (If you hit the page and the button is not active... you've missed out on this training opportunity!)

That's it.

I look forward to training with you very soon!


In Mastery!
