<p>When using Ninpo Taijutsu it is very important to understand that the attacker is going to put pressure on you. You need to take that energy and redirect it to your advantage. When studying the movement of energy in a conflict, learn to read the energy. Then use your taijutsu to change the energy, to bring peace. Remember it is not about escalation; it is about bringing balance to the universe.</p>

<p>Martial arts are great for self-defense. The first line of personal defense is self-respect. When you have self-respect (not self aggrandizement) you will be self-assured. This strong feeling will go a long way to making others around you feel safe, too, and potential attackers take note.

It is very important as a martial arts practitioner to personally grow. The martial arts are metaphors for many struggles and gains we have in life. One of the big gains we can have is self-respect. When I open the dojo, I look at my students coming in the door &#8212; old and new &#8212; and understand that we share the same path. Understanding this point gives me a deep respect for my students. I cannot tell them how to live their lives, but through a shared hardship we can walk the path to personal growth together.</p>

<p>Martial arts are great for self-defense. The first line of personal defense is self-respect. When you have self-respect (not self aggrandizement) you will be self-assured. This strong feeling will go a long way to making others around you feel safe, too, and potential attackers take note. But this is only good if you train hard and live with good intentions, keys to self-respect.</p>
