Since around the mid 1980's there has been, and continues to be a serious impediment to students trying to learn ninjutsu. It's bad enough when our own beliefs and erroneous ideas get in the way when trying to learn ninjutsu, but when the problem lies in the way the lessons are passed down... what can you do?This article focuses on a belief about a lesson within ninpo taijutsu (aka budo taijutsu) known as kihon happo.

Are your trying to learn ninjutsu - the art of the ancient, Japanese Ninja?If so, then you must be aware of certain things that may be influencing your ability to master this powerful martial and life mastery system.The focus of this article is on something that may be going unnoticed, and yet be very influential in your taijutsu training - without you even knowing it!To illustrate the point, let me...more
One of the common misconceptions when it comes to the kamae, or defensive postures, when trying to learn Ninjutsu is that the Ninja's combat positions are used the same way as the "stances" used in conventional martial arts. And nothing could be further from the truth.This article discusses this concept using the ichimonji no kamae as an example, but after reading this article, you should be able to apply this principle to every aspect of your ninpo and budo taijutsu training!When looking at the "defensive", or long range fighting postures contained within the Ninja's armed and unarmed combat method, a common question that comes up, from both students and outsides to the art, is:"Isn't the lead leg open for and exposed to the danger of a sweep, or other kicking attack from the opponent?"And, while this is a valid point, the problem is a matter of perspective - not of application within the Ninja's self defense system. In fact, this same misguided perception can also be applied to the leading arm that is extended out toward the attacker when you're in and using these "profiled" postures.The problem lies in the fact that many people have more experience with the conventional martial...more

No heavy advertising like some of the larger automakers and no dragging its name through the mud over model recalls and financial woes. Subaru just quietly goes along proving its quality to customers one at a time. Used Subaru West Palm dealers know that it works.One California dealer is planning to expand, as he says his customer was not affected by the recession and his sales have been climbing every month. New car West Palm Beach dealers agree and hope to have continued sales increases.Subaru is a bit out of the mainstream when it comes to attracting customers. I always picture the former hippie, the vegetarian mom who throws pottery, the artsy college student and people with very colorful personalities. Perhaps Im stereotyping, though. I dont want to discount the CPA and school teachers. Anyone else old enough to remember the commercial with the grandma yelling Whoopee-do for my Subaru!Okay, so my memory is freakishly detailed and media-focused. Subaru does give a customer profile. Their average customer has a household income of $88,000 and is three years younger than...more
