Transgender Martial Arts Teacher

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. As a Trans-Woman that teaches Martial Arts, I see hate & prejudice every day. Today we recognize those in the trans-community who've fallen victim to hate crimes.

🕯️🙏🏻

STOP BEING SCARED...

STOP BEING SCARED | read in full...

.

What do you fear?

Why do you keep quitting?

Why do you keep starting over?

.

The greatest fear that you face is yourself. We all have dreams and goals in life and that can be very scary to accept. It's also very scary to admit to yourself and say "I want that" in my life, because if you put your heart and soul into something that you really want, and you fail, how are you going to feel about yourself?

.

That is why YOU HAVE TO go for it. Not for anyone else, but for yourself. You owe it to yourself to go after what it is that you want in your life. IT IS YOUR LIFE.

.

Are you tired of quitting and throwing in the towel to your emotions? Everybody is going through something. I do not care who you are or what you want. Everyone is going through something. But never forget that your greatness is in front of you, not behind you.

.

Whatever you are going through, whatever it is that you want can either stay where you are and get the sh*t kicked out of you, or you can fight for what it is that you want.

.

Most of you are running from the obstacles in your life, when the facts are it is the obstacles are there to get you to the next level.

.

You're ready to quit, give up and give in? It is the mindset of the warrior that says that no matter how many time I get knocked down, I will get back up.

.

It does not matter how good yesterday was or how much money you made. Because the truth is, you have to get up and do it again today. Success is not a destination, it is a journey.

.

Keep fighting in the midst of the struggle. Keep thinking positive. You only lose when you quit. If you are going to quit because someone else tells you that you are not good enough, or that you should not do that, well then you do not deserve what it is that you think that you want.

.

At the end of the day, when you do your mirror match and you ask yourself "Did I Get Better?"... If the answer is yes, and you keep doing that day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year... You will be able to look back and have pride in your life's work and the goals and the dreams that you achieved.

Stop Being Scared & Start Fighting...

SECRET NINJUTSU TECHNIQUES Passed Down From a NINJA FAMILY – Muhyoshi Ryu

[sokeanshu]

Go After Your Dreams...

NEVER let people tell you that you are not good enough. If you have a goal and a dream, GO AFTER IT. Life is way to short to consciously know you are going to have regrets. DO NOT go to the grave thinking to yourself "I WISH"...

Look at me, I am a transgender woman who runs her own international school of martial arts, self defense and survival. I get hate, slander, prejudice and bigotry on all of my social media 24/7. Everyday I deal with hate. Not because of my skill in the arts, but because that I am a trans-woman. But the passion for achieving my goals with my teachings of the martial arts, is greater than the hate I receive. SO I KEEP GOING...

There is NO ONE in the world that studies NINJUTSU that does not know who I am. That does not mean they agree with me 100%, but what that does mean, is that I have touched the lives of people all over the world in an art that is dying with the advancement of technology as well as the decline in the importance of the "OLD WAYS".

Regardless of the rise of technology and the decline in tradition, I still do what I do. Because I have a passion for the old ways. I train my MIND-BODY-SPIRIT everyday pushing myself to the extreme to find a new level of balance and enlightenment in what Traditional Japanese Martial Arts calls: "The Way"...

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?

If you do not know your purpose, than do what you are passionate about and you will find your purpose. NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO THEIR GRAVE FORGOTTEN. If you know what you want, then go after it. You do not need to see the finish line, you just need to take a step. After you take that step, take another...

There will be times that things suck, and there will be times where things are great. Either way, you have to get your ass out of bed, get coffee, walk the dog and workout before you get your kids up and on the bus for school (example: my life).

Life is change, and one thing that I've always done is change direction when I needed to, to further my success, progress, dreams and happiness.

You have to be fearless and go for your dreams and achieve your happiness in life. It is your life and only you are the one responsible for your happiness and your success.

You only have so much time left, use it wisely.

Perfect Your Craft

Many criticize solo training in the marital arts, when the reality is, it's one of the most crucial aspects of martial training. Just like in sports, athletes spend countless hours perfecting their craft by themselves to be able to compete against another... conditioning, striking, moving, use of weapons are just some of the skills covered in solo training. I have never met a master that does not spend more hours training solo, than with people. There are many reasons for this truth, which I will cover at a later date.

.

Many want to discuss the "correct way" to train in the arts, then explain the arts in a very limited/closed minded way. When they discuss the "correct way" it always comes off as something that can be defined with rules or strict specific structure, which the martial arts has none, and does not.

.

Many martial artist nowadays train in a very territorial limited view, and not really understanding the completeness of what they are doing. When you watch the news, and see the real threats that we have today, do you really think running into a school to do a takedown and an armbar is going to protect others? No... yet many will say that is the Ultimate Martial Arts when in fact it does nothing to protect against the threats we see in the modern world.

.

The skills of being able to get to your self defense tools quickly and efficiently is crucial, and that simple skill is also perfected and mastered with solo practice with you in the dojo or at the range.

.

Remember, you are the only one responsible for your success. You are the one that either can or cannot protect yourself and the ones that you love. You are the one that needs to do what you need to do to hone the skills that you have.

.

Remember, discipline is doing what needs to be done, even if you don't want to do it. Have you trained today? If it is possible that your life and maybe the lives of the ones you love depend on it.

Exhaust All Options...

Exhaust All Options | read in full... (5/20/2024)

.

It has been said: “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…” - Hermes Trismegistus

.

Always keep a positive mindset and focus with good intentions on achieving your goals. DO NOT SET A TIME LIMIT! Think about each step with strategy, and take each step carefully to achieve your desired goal.

.

Always see things through to the end. The only thing you can never get back is time. So make sure you take the time needed to reach the final destination of whatever goal you are going after. The last thing you want to do is have to come all the way back to the beginning, and redo something that was unfinished; wasting the only precious thing you have in this life... time.

.

Never trash your own mindset or goals. You are the only one that can go get your goals. You do not need to be your biggest opponent in doing so... NEVER SAY:

.

- I can't do that...

- I'm not good enough...

- This will not happen...

- This will never work...

- I'm done...

.

There is no shame in not getting the desired outcome you wish for, as long as you understand the difference between losing and not winning...

.

"Not Winning" means you gave it your best, you seen it all the way through to the end, it just did not work. I can live with that.

.

"Losing" means, you did not try, you did not exhaust all options and you gave up... I cannot live with that.

.

A pessimist sees the difficultly in every opportunity. An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.‬ It does not matter if you can trying to get a black belt, lose weight, start your own business, rekindle a relationship, travel the world or settle down and start a family. No matter your goal, see it through to the end. You owe it to yourself. It is your life, so stop letting social pressure stop you and go live it.

.

Do not be defeated by your inner demons. You are good enough... So go attack your goals and claim victory over your inner demons!

.

Banzai! (万歳)

Bend But Dont Break

Bend But Don’t Break | read in full... . No matter who you are, we all have a limit as to how far we will bend before we break. . It does not matter if it’s personal, private or professional, nor does it matter if it is family, friends and relationships. There is only so far you will go, so much you can give, and so much you can endure, before you break. . I am the person that will always give and be there for everyone. Even if that means putting me in a bad spot. I will always do my best to help anyone that I can. I would rather be the one that has to fight out of a hole, than see the ones that I love struggle. . Most people would never take a “loss” for anyone. Most will only help if there is a benefit to them, or they know there is a “get back”. This is not me and it will never be me. . They say service to others leads to greatness and humility is the solid foundation of all virtues. I believe this as well. Many things that seem threatening in the dark become welcoming when we shine light on them. . Part of humility is being able to take grief, pain, frustration, sadness and insecurity for those that you care about. We all have people in our life that we go out of our way to help and provide for. Instead of wondering if there is going to be a “get back”, focus on the reason why you help in the first place. Sometimes, life is like this dark tunnel, you can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place. . Yes, I realize that there are bad people who are very selfish and have no problem leading people on, and taking advantage of people. So yes, you should have a breaking point. However, all of us are searching to find balance in our lives. There is energy all around us. The Yin and Yang, both Positive & Negative Energy. For every negative there is a positive, if you are humble enough bend, let go of your ego and look. . Sometimes, the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else solve theirs. Remember Ninpo is not about being better than anyone else. It is about being better than what you were yesterday. Learning how to be humble and taking time to help others is part Ninpo. . The only thing we have in this life is experiences and when your time is up, so are you. Remember to give, help, love, and provide a service to others. You will be surprised at how your life will change for the better. ♥
