Budo is simply the study of the best ways to kill.
Forget your sadness, anger, grudges and hatred. Let them pass like smoke caught in a breeze. Do not indulge yourself in such feelings.
Always be able to kill your students.
When weak or injured, always continue training, as you should always be able to adapt in any condition.
No more talk. I’m sick of people talking. Train.
Any place we can breathe, we can do Ninjutsu.
The first priority to the ninja is to win without fighting.
What I want you to do is just take it as it is. Don’t think too much. If you get involved with thinking about it, the whole thing gets lost or loses its purity. Don’t think during practice – DO! The more you think, the further from the truth of budo you get: Budo is NOT an academic subject!
Looking for the meaning of life, one man can discover the order of the universe. To discover the truth, to achieve. a higher spiritual state, that is the true meaning of ninja...
Those who desire only techniques will never understand this art. It is everything beyond that.
Move with your feet, the hands will follow.
Learning a technique is not an end in itself, it merely indicates where you need to start.
Focus on the future for 50%, on the present for 40%, and on the past for 10%.
Nature is your friend; it helps you to win. Your enemy will have unnatural movement, therefore you will be able to know what he is going to do before he does it.
The simplest is always the most difficult.
If you do not let go of thinking about forms, you will not understand what I am showing.
You must be on your toes constantly, yet be relaxed.
You must throw away your bad habits to get good.
Your life is on the line, practice well.
