Learn Ninjutsu – Your Ability To Master Ninjutsu Martial Arts Training Depends On 3 Key Factors!
Are you serious about becoming a master of Ninjutsu? Do you really want to have the skills of a true master Ninja warrior?
I can understand why. The Ninja are seen, even by martial arts practitioners who train in other systems, as being at the top of the martial arts “food chain,” for a reason!
But the keys to mastery are not limited to just knowing a bunch of techniques, weapons, or martial arts moves. No. Mastery begins even before the student – that’s you – starts to learn the skills of the art.
What are these “things” that are the cornerstones of the foundation leading to the state of martial arts Mastery in the art of Ninjutsu – or any other martial art for the matter?
Good question.
They are the belief, faith, or trust in three things. And, without any or all of these tangible and intangible things, your training is doomed to failure. Well, maybe not failure. But, let’s just say that attaining Mastery, succeeding at earning your Black Belt, or becoming a teacher of the Ninja’s self defense and life mastery system, is going to be more a matter of luck than of design and intention.
The 3 critical aspects of Mastery and success as you work to learn ninjutsu are:
1) Belief in yourself, your personal value, and the fact that you are deserving of possessing these skills and abilities
2) Belief in the curriculum – the program – that you are working through as capable of getting you to the level of Mastery that you desire, and…
3) Belief in your teachers as walking, talking examples – to at least some degree – of that which you aspire to be for yourself
That being said, there are many students who only see the Ninja’s arts as a martial arts choice among martial arts choices. They are not seeking Mastery – not true Mastery anyway – and are content to be able to show off a few cool moves and learn enough to allow them to say that they study Ninjutsu.
In this case, this lesson is wasted on them – seen as unneeded, unwanted, and a waste of time, effort, and attention.
But, to others – those who see Ninjutsu as more than another martial art or system of self defense – these three aspects of training are seen for what they are…
…the foundation of a system of life mastery which begins with the protection of self and others, and leads onward and upward towards the ultimate stage where you will have the confidence, power, and control to make your life anything and everything that you desire.
