Train with Intensity! Airyu Happy New Year!Friday, January 1st, 2021Looking Back on 2020Wednesday, December 30th, 2020Hello Ninjutsu Fans!! It has been a long time since I have posted anything here, but as I posted on the facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/NinjutsuTrainingOnline ) I will be posting new content and surprises here going forward in 2021!! Now 2020 was a roller coaster ride that no one will ever forget, so I thought I would post a bit about my reflections and a few lessons learned from this year.
Alright, I could go on and on, but I think this should get you thinking about what you can be doing in this new lock down situation, so take the time and do it. Now for what is to come in 2021! New regular public content, podcasts and videos Reviving the members site with additional specialized content, such as modern skill development, improvised weapons, Greyman series, ninja finances, communication methods, land navigation….. and I could go on and on. Anyway my brothers and sisters, stay tuned and enjoy the New Year’s Holiday! Bufu Ikkan Airyu! Condition Yellow (from 2016)Friday, April 10th, 2020Do you feel that you are prepared, not just for a physical attack, but prepared for a mass shooting, disaster, medical emergency or even a financial one? I’ll bet you dollars to donuts, you can’t say yes to all of these items. Jeff Cooper penned the Condition Color code system that is still relevant in today’s crazy ass society. On a day to day basis, my family and I are in condition yellow, calm alertness, scanning and being aware of potential threats. The other day another mass shooting, what would you do if you were there? How about tomorrow your business closes it’s doors, are you ready for three months to live without a paycheck? Is your ninjutsu training teaching you the skills necessary to survive during either of those two events? Well, I haven’t been in a shooting (but oh yes, I practice my firearm skills regularly so that if I need to use a weapon I can) but several years ago I was hit in a layoff. Now it did shock my world, but I was also somewhat prepared financially to live a few months without a steady check, and I was able to work some light construction to stretch out my savings until I was ready and found a job that I wanted to take. Now I don’t say this lightly, you need to be prepared to do many things, and a ninja of old had no one to rely on, other than himself and family. They knew how to do basic medical treatments and first aid, they farmed or knew what they could forage on a mission, they could be financially prepared , communication skills, etc. All skills that have fallen off our training and life as we become so much more beholden to technology. I am not trying to be a doomsayer or a technophobe, I love technology and use it for all it’s worth, but I also have a few back up plans incase my tech goes down. I teach my scouts basic orienteering skills and one of them said to me “I will just use my GPS and find my way out” well on a recent trip there was no GPS signal and yes we relied on a map and compass! But back to condition yellow, are you aware of what is going on around you on a daily basis and are you making plans to be prepared for whatever is coming your way? If not take a moment to work on the following skills:
Alright, I have left you with a lot to get going on, but do not forget the primary lesson here is Condition Yellow mindset in all things. You will thank me for this reminder someday when something goes to hell in your day and you were able to deal with it effectively! Bufu Ikkan |
