The Purpose of Martial Arts Training & How To Practice Self-Betterment | Ninja, Ninjutsu, Ninpo

In this video, I discuss the purpose of martial arts training and how to practice self-betterment. The purpose of training is very deep and cannot be completely defined with a few simple words. Things such as self-defense, self-protection, self-improvement, self-enlightenment, the ability or protect the ones we love and the ability to fight for those that cannot fight for themselves, are all good reasons towards the purpose of martial arts training.  Other reasons for the purpose of training are: preserving the history & tradition of the ryuha, discipline, honor, respect, integrity, preserving nature, connecting to nature, finding balance of the mind, body and spirit as well as finding spiritual refinement through the connection of nature. This idea of purpose is different for everyone, but in the end, we all seek the same thing…

Life Lessons from an Courtesan | Escort, Stripper

Martial Arts lesson from a 40 year old escort / courtesan / stripper.
Today’s Ninjutsu Lesson | Read in Full

There is an old saying:
“Never judge a book by its cover.”

In the martial arts, I teach my students to never judge an opponent with any pre-thought. What you “think” may not be true. Although many of us know this, it is remarkably difficult to get past the social stereotypes that we see in the media and movies.

Why is it that when you pick up any Martial Arts Magazine, watch any Martial Arts / War / Fighting Movie, you always see some dude with their top off, flexing their muscles, instilling intimidation through their “masculine prowess”, and in doing so, he instills fear and intimidation towards his opponents… Why?

Why is it that you always see “masculinity” as a means to being a great warrior, but a woman showing her “femininity” is not as equally accepted?

In the art of ninjutsu we train to see the unseen. The fact that someone has a muscular body does not mean they are good at combat. If that were the case, a Bodybuilder would be a great soldier and a Strongman Champion should be the next MMA champ.

If you ask any martial artist who has years of training, would they fear fighting against a bodybuilder or Strong Man Champion that has zero experience in fighting, most would say no. If you ask the average man on the street, they would hesitate because of the man’s size and strength… Why?

I understand that size and strength does add factors to the fight, but unless you submit to these factors, those factors do not dictate the fight. Never fear a man based on how big his muscles are, because I know through life experience that the man that is not as big and powerful can rip out your throat just as fast. Just the same, the woman that is being really nice and giving you lots of attention can take you for everything that you have; understanding the art of self defense is deeper than mere physical technique…

In the world of martial arts, the majority of teachers are men and the majority of students are men/boys. When you look at the majority of martial arts instructors, most of them were either in the military, police force, security field, bar bouncers and or bounty hunters. For some reason, having a more “masculine job” gives them more clout when teaching martial arts. But we will get to that in a later lesson…

In the martial arts, I am ridiculed all of the time because I am a woman. Nothing pisses off a closed minded, insecure man in the martial arts more than a powerful woman who exudes femininity and sexual freedom.

If I was nothing but tits and ass, than the Budo Ryu Kai would not have be around for 13+ years and still going strong teaching authentic ninjutsu and samurai bujutsu. Whether you love me or hate me, if you study ninjutsu anywhere in the world that has internet access, you have heard of “Soke Anshu” / “Anshu Christa Jacobson”. I personally do not give a shit about social stereotypes, nor do I have any fear of an opponent in front of me either. My opponent can prejudge me if they want. But it will be a mistake if they assume that I’m some dumb-ass weak blonde that cannot protect herself.

Self-defense (goshinjutsu) is not just in the physical realm, remember: “mind-body-spirit”. You have to learn how to protect yourself against mental and emotional attacks as well. This training also has an “ura” aspect to it, as you have to learn how to not hurt yourself, physically, mentally and emotionally as well. In many cases, the most stress, worry and pain comes from within. Here again, having negative pre-thoughts of yourself is just as detrimental. But we will also get to that in a later lesson…

RAW REALITY:
An attack can come from anyone at anytime.

When you are in a combative situation, you cannot have any prejudgment or thought. You must move the way that you have trained, act and react accordingly. You are the weapon. Mind-Body-Spirit must become one. Connect to the elements and use them to your advantage. You will grow stronger as the enemy becomes weaker. Never judge an opponent with any pre-thoughts. Let go. Mushin (無心), no mind… The mentality is simple, defeat is not an option. You train to protect your life, Remember that next time you are in the dojo. Your life may depend on your training.

“Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.” – Henry L. Doherty

I hope that you all enjoy today’s lesson.  I know that it is only a simple quote; but sometimes, that is all that is needed to keep us on a positive track on our journey of Budo.

Thank you all for your support.
Take Care, Be Safe and Good Luck in your Journey of Budo.


Fear (恐) within Budo, Bujutsu, Ninpo, Ninjutsu, Samuria and Shinobi.

Soke; Anshu Christa Jacobson

Fear (恐)

“When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.” – Buddha

Fear is a wonderful lesson in the natural elements of IN & YO
(Ying & Yang in Chinese).

Fear is a distressing negative sensation induced by a perceived threat. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger. In short, fear is the ability to recognize danger leading to an urge to confront it or flee from it (also known as the fight-or-flight response) but in extreme cases of fear (terror) a freeze or paralysis response is possible.

For this reason alone you have to understand yourself and how to read the sanshin (mind, body & spirit) within. If you understand how to look inside yourself and understand why you are feeling a specific emotional response, this gives you a greater chance for survival as now you are listening to your inner feelings, and using an educated strategy based on experience to back up the emotional gut feeling by physical action. I preach this type of strategy daily at the Budo Ryu Hombu Dojo. This is how warriors have been training for centuries; finding ways to be able to connect the mind and the body together in balance.

Remember a warrior acts; only fools react.

Next time you feel something such as fear, Fear (恐)

Remember a warrior acts; only fools react.

Next time you feel something such as fear, anxiety, depression or sadness, do not just react to this feeling, as you are not in balance and more than likely do something that you might regret. Act to the emotion correctly, by using your mind in balance with the inner feeling. Developing the strategy needed to follow out the objective. This can be anything from a natural feeling of fear and love, to a daily goal all the way to military procedure.

This is why Budo is in everything that we do, it is who we are, and this is what separates us from the ones that simply read books on martial arts and think that they know; action from wisdom.

There is an old saying “He who knows others is wise; He who knows himself is enlightened.” – Lao Tzu; 604 BC, Zhou Dynasty

I hope that you all enjoyed today’s lesson.

Take care, be safe and good luck in your Journey of Budo.
