On Sunday of last weekend I got to attend a Ninpo Bikken Seminar (ninja sword) with Ken Savage, my friend, senior and owner of TWMAC. As always when training with Ken his knowledge, research and presentation make for a great day of training. Listening to Ken always helps me put the things I have learned over the years into an understandable order. It was a great day of training but not just for this reason.

There were over thirty people there this weekend representing four different schools and three different ninjutsu organizations. Obviously there were people from TWMAC a Bujinkan Dojo under Ken Savage, there were people from our dojo, SMAC, a Stephen Hayes To-Shin Do school and Bujinkan school, people from BMAC our teacher, Mark Davis’s school and people from our friend Leon Drucker’s school, a Myo Fu An Dojo under Muramatsu San.

What’s so important about this? Everything! Recent events in the Bujinkan have shown that things are changing, people, friends and instructors are not always going to be with us. It is time for the ninjutsu community to grow up and stop the political bickering.

This weekend seminar and New England Warrior Camp, which Ken runs every year, are examples of the way it should be. All politics and bullshit are dropped at the entrance and we train in ninjutsu. All are welcome as long as you are there for training. I challenge the ninjutsu to community to follow Ken’s lead. We’re running out of time people. Stop arguing and get together and train.

Thanks to Ken for hosting and presenting these events and thanks to Mark Davis, our teacher, who continues to help us move along this path and made us understand it’s all about the training.

We’re less than a month away from the Mark Davis Koshijutsu seminar in NH. Mark asked me to come down to Boston to go over some of the material for the seminar to be prepared. I went but we’re covering Koshijutsu, the kihon happo and san shin no kata, I’ve seen these all before should be fine…

Luckily I never think like that with my teacher. Last night I was introduced to a level of the “basics” that honestly blew me away (actually physically too ask the people there who saw me flying). Watching videos on the internet and traveling around to seminars I have seen so many people saying this is the way it is but from my perspective after almost 25 years in this art I’m not impressed very often. The reason is I get to go to Boston every Friday and train with Mark Davis so it takes a lot to impress me.

Then Mark goes and does what he did last night, show me that even though I train with him every week there is always more to learn even with the material I’ve been working on since 1988. So if you are involved in the martial arts in any way, or want to be, don’t miss this seminar.
