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.

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.

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. ♥

Life...

LIFE | read in full...

.

A chain is made up of many links. Each of these links connect to another link... Link after link, it creates a chain. Life is similar. Life is made up of many experiences. Experience after experience, these moments create the story of your life.

.

It does not matter if it is a good moment or a bad moment, every moment in life is temporary. When things are good, enjoy the experience because it will not last long. When things are bad, learn from the experience, because it will not last long.

.

I have said this many times, perception is based in perspective... Your vibration and mindset determine how you receive, interpret and understand life's moments.

.

Focus on what you want, not what you do not like. If all you do is think about the bad things in your life or the things that you do not want, you will not be as motivated to see the pathway to success. A negative mind does not give positive results. If you focus on what you want and who you want that with, your motivation becomes more clear, and your actions will start directing you towards success.

.

Your thoughts create your reality. Your mind is more powerful than you know. Imagination should be used... not to escape reality, but to create it.

Reflection...

REFLECTION | read in full…

.

Socrates famously said: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”… Everyone has a past that we want to erase, and it is these past experiences and decisions that caused pain that we must reflect on, to allow ourselves to grow.

.

As a martial artist, we are trained to understand the Mind-Body-Spirit, as well as how are training influences ourselves: physically, mentally and emotionally. To do this, we learn to meditate on, evaluate, and think deeply on our behaviors, thoughts, energy, vibration, attitudes, motivations, and desires to answer the hardest question… Why?

.

If you were to examine a man’s life, you would see that it is full of contradictions. This is because what the right thing to do in one moment does not mean that it is the right thing to do in another moment.

.

If you decide to be someone who does not take the time to pause and reflect, you will never learn or gain a deeper understanding of your life. You will always feel empty, not know your purpose and you will always question “who” … “you”… are.

.

After you reflect, it is important that you have a positive mindset about your reflections, even if what happened was extremely hurtful and negative. A negative mindset cannot create a positive outcome. Positive mindset is one thing, but you will not get any change by thoughts alone. The universe does not respond on what you “think” or who you “pretend” to be. The universe response by the vibration and energy you give off. Yes, you must have a positive mindset, but you also must have a positive vibration to create change in your reality and you life.

.

No matter how strong you are, you cannot stop the flow of time. Mother Nature and Father Time are not for you or against you. It is up to you to do what you need to do, to become what “you” want to “be”.

.

Reflecting and identifying the pattern is awareness, choosing not to repeat the cycle is growth. You owe it to yourself to fully show up in this lifetime and be “present”. You have spent enough time worrying about not being good enough in someone else’s eyes. Now it is time to be good enough in your own.
