"Education must be considered most important, for as diseases in the world of bodies are extremely contagious, so, in the same way, qualities of spirit and heart are extremely contagious. Education has a universal influence and the differences caused by it are great."

Not everyone can afford to train. If you are interested in training but your current circumstances do not allow for the expense, please contact me and we will concoct another form of contribution.

This reciprocal relationship forms the outer, cursory shell of our Bujinkan community.

The inside of the circle contains much, much more.

"The way to experience ultimate happiness is to let go of all worries and regrets, and to know that being happy is the most satisfying of life's feelings.

Reflect back on all the progress in your life and allow the positive, creative and joyous thoughts to outshine and overwhelm any sorrow or grief that may linger in the recesses of your mind. Knowing that disease and disaster are natural parts of life is the key to overcoming adversity with a calm and happy spirit.

Happiness is waiting there in front of you.
Only you can decide whether or not you choose to experience it.

Take this to heart."
