<p>The Study of martial arts helps you find your natural movement. As we grow older, we start accumulate unnatural tendency’s that could lead to an unhealthy response in a self-defense. By correct training in the martial arts, we can regain our natural ability to respond to an attack. What do you think are some unnatural tendency’s that block the way to defending our self’s?</p>

<p>I would like to thank Stephen and Rumiko Hayes for coming to the Boston Martial Arts Center. Their teaching provided a strong example and inspiration for all who want to learn Ninpo Taijutsu and live a better life through training. I would also like to thank members and friends of New England Ninpo Society and Boston Martial Arts Center who joined us this weekend for their warm and positive energy. Without their inspiration and participation, the seminar would not have been possible.</p>

<p>In today’s dojo, it is very relevant to maintain appropriate etiquette and respect not only for yourself but also for your training partner. In order to train effectively your mind needs to be at ease and proper etiquette facilitates a structure, which helps students learn and feel safe at the same time. This is also true outside the dojo (School).</p>

<p>I feel that martial arts are something that should be study well. Too just gloss over the training is to sell your self-short on training and learning. The point of the training is to learn the skill or artfulness (jutsu) and help the world be come a better place. This will lead to knowing your shortcomings and correcting them through a deeper understanding of your self. Remember the change it self will short term cause hardship but it will not be a bad as the hardship that you will have to endure till you change. Deep personal change will bring strong energy into the world to help others by your example.</p>

<p>Boston, Massachusetts<br />
Boston Martial Arts Seminar<br />
May 18-20, 2012<br />
An-shu Stephen and An-shu Rumiko Hayes teach their 2012 Festival theme in New England at the Boston Martial Arts Center dojo. Friday night Ryu-Tai “riding the dragon” in health-restoration ninja yoga and a special meditation on holding focus in times of conflict and confrontation, and Saturday-Sunday unarmed and armed personal protection with advanced nagare intelligent effortless dragon flow emphasis. This is an advanced seminar that will focus on working with undefined and unsure Ki energy which presents itself during the course of an attack. Students will learn how to prompt the attacker to make a mistake and to benefit from their energy by turning it to an advantage. Most people visualize an attack to be a linear process. It is not; attacking energy can present itself in a multitude of ways. This an Advanced Black Belt Seminar but will be open to all belt levels. This material will be of benefit to future trainings – Bujinkan, To-Shin Do, and all styles are welcome. To register, contact Boston Martial Arts.</p>

<p>Ninpo Taijutsu is an excellent method of training for Self-Defense in environments which are unpredictable or unstable. For example, if you compare punching and kicking on a patch of ice to punching and kicking in a Dojo with a controlled surface they are two entirely different experiences. In our everyday lives, we encounter things, which are unexpected, and when you train with Ninpo Taijutsu this creates a system of built in reflexes, which can deal with unexpected situations. How do you train for the unexpected?</p>

<p>One of the main things I have learned about martial arts is a powerful, personal knowledge about how I operate in relation to the world around my self. It is extremely crucial to have a relationship with the world out side your self in a respectful manner, that way one can see or feel any imbalance that may happen. Martial arts are just not a study of self it is about maintaining a respectful relationship and balance with the world outside your self.</p>
