Overview
PREFACE I was interested in martial arts as a kid, probably because I was lanky and skinny, and I guess physically weaker than some of the bigger boys at school. Without going into too much of my early years, they certainly were not the best years of my life. Apart from considering myself physically weak, I never knew my dad, and then at 16 my mum died, and so I went to live with my older sister and her husband. Anyway, over the years, I've had a bit of a journey through the world of martial arts, trying Judo, Kung Fu, Karate, Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do.
I collected some belts and grades, but never really excelled at any of them, and always had a feeling that I still needed to find a martial art that I felt truly comfortable with. Then about 25 years ago, at the ripe old age of 30, I came across a guy called Peter Brown, who was, and still is, a Ninjutsu sensei. He was, and is, the real deal. He is not big or intimidating, and certainly doesn't haven't the attitude and swagger of some "sensei's" I have seen.
His art was that of the Ninja, and something clicked into place! That was because it was a huge subject, not purely physical martial art moves, but also traditional Japanese weapons, and mind techniques. And, very importantly, the thing that really resonated with me was understanding the core Ninjutsu belief of perseverance and never giving up. If plan "A" wasn't succeeding, then try plan "B". And then plan "C" if needs be, whatever it took to finally triumph.
And the point was, this philosophy was not just rooted in a martial art context but could be applied to any situation in life. I think from a personal point of view, I completely related to this core belief. Apart from being orphaned at 16, I have experienced the death of other people very close to me and have felt the pain of divorce. And I've had more than a few heath scares-a punctured lung, a kidney operation, two heart procedures, and a knee operation.
The key to getting through all that stuff, and ultimately triumphing over all of the challenges, was a deep-rooted belief in never giving up. I am now 57, a black belt in Ninjutsu, and still learning. The point is, if I can overcome setbacks in life, so can anybody. So what is my message to you? Quite simply, it is to be strong in everything. This is a message from someone who has been vulnerable emotionally, physically, and financially, and believe me, you don't want to be in that same position. So please, consider your position in life, and get yourself strong in all aspects.
Having education and skills, fitness, money, friends and family, they all help in the battle of life. Self-defence in its own right is just one of these attributes you need to have, but apart from the obvious benefit of protection, it may be the catalyst to strengthening all aspects of your life.
