During this episode I'll be sharing some tips and suggestions for breaking out of what I call "THE RACE TO BE AVERAGE" and why you can't do what everyone else (including 95% of the people training in this art) is doing and see the kind of results you know you want for yourself!

During this episode I'll be talking about my experience training with a few of my own teachers along the way, from Hatsumi-Sensei and a few of the Japanese master teachers, to my original teachers and mentors in this art. And the "experiences" won't be what you might think!

During this episode I'll be giving you my take on a few topic suggestions/questions that came in regarding how to train through injuries, as well as some supplemental ideas and/or suggestions for fostering the "warrior spirit".

The topic of this episode is based on a question that came in from a listener regarding what I see as some of the differences between Ninjutsu training as it was when it was first introduced to the Western world in the late 70's and very early 80's, and the way it's being practiced today. Join me as we discuss Ninjutsu - then & now...

What do you do when you have limited time, live hundreds or even thousands of miles from a qualified Ninjutsu teacher, and have a lifetime of programming keeping you from seeing a solution to getting the training you've been wanting for a really long time? That's the topic of this episode of KUDEN! podcast.

Of the 18 levels of training (Ninja Juhakkei) within the Togakure School of Ninjutsu, the first area or 'level' is the focus on your personal clarity and development. In this episode of KUDEN! we'll be taking a look at this critical study, why it was there for our Ninja ancestors, and its importance to your success, not just in Ninjutsu but in life!

This episode focuses on more wisdom from several of my teachers, mentors, and role-models along the way - people who helped me break out of the self-imprisoning programming, thinking and belief systems that were holding me back from the results and success I wanted for both myself, and for those I could help in the world.

During this episode we'll be exploring why being comfortable stops most practioners from realizing their true potential, any why it keeps so many from doing what they could be doing to either get the training they say they want or see the level of success they could be getting from this powerful life mastery system!
