Disappear from view

          Today I would rather be a Ninja and melt into the shadows. Not to be seen. Not to be heard. To disappear from day. Watch the world go by the cover of obscurity. Never being noticed. Fade from existence. At least for the day.

          But today will not be that day.

          I will be Ninja today in the sense I will endure. I will do what needs to be done. I will make my presence known. I will say what needs to be said. I will destroy all obstacles in my way.

          My sword is drawn.

          Be strong

Bushido Code

Justice
Courage
Generosity
Politeness
Honor
Honesty
Loyalty

But depending on where you go to get definition the code changes a little. I believe that is the translation of  the original words

 Gi
Yu
Jin
Rei
Meiyo
Makoto
Chugi

Now this is the Samurai code.
There is significant differences between Ninja and Samurai but I still respect and try and live by these virtues.
(well with in reason....hehehehe)  ;)

Be Virtuous (Bahahaha) No really ( Bahahahaha) Seriously ( Bahahahaha)
Just can't make that statement without laughing.

oooooohhhh Jose

Two Ninjas and One Jose.

Oh the possibilities!

Ninja Fun Friday

Why the discipline

Three reasons we have discipline atmosphere in Martial Arts Class
- you work on your strengths and weaknesses
- you get more done in a short amount of time
- discipline proceeds self discipline

I remind myself of this before every class.
I remind myself of this every day

Ninjas have remarkable self discipline. Mine's......Okay.

Be remarkable

I love front kicks

That's me throwing the front kick. It is my favorite kick. I know a lot of people throw round kicks. Low, high, left or right. Don't get me wrong, I love a good round kick, myself, but I do enjoy following up a round kick with a power front kick. Front kicks are great when your opponent is in the middle of throwing a cross and they square themselves up. If you time it right you can send them stumbling on the mat.
Well just wanted to share.
