Learning to Learn: Yagyu Sanma No Kurai
I taught a class on Ninja Cinema and Literature at a university for years and even had real ninjas from Japan visit. When I was told I was going to die of cancer, I dressed as a ninja in the hospital to fight the demon cancer cells. The nurses laughed.
To perfect ninjutsu or any martial learning, you much polish (ma) the three (san) levels (kurai): Yagyu Sanma No Kurai. Yagyu was a famous school of sword art, but this applies to any martial art.
💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗
1. Narau (Narau). Beginning level, where you learn from your teacher.
Listen, practice and repeat, again and again and again.
💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗
2. Kufu (Keiko). Middle level, where you work hard on what you have learned.
Practice makes perfect. Research and grow.
💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗
3. Neru (Kufu) Final level, where you work on perfecting your skills, . . .
Perfection means returning to the original beginning level and starting over, be mindful in reexamining what you learned by using the beginner's mind. This saying is often told to students of kendo, but it can apply to learning anything.
💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗💗 💗 💗
In the lesson on martial arts, these notes of wisdom are not my voice. They are your notes to yourself of learning to learn. . .
Listen to them (narau) work on applying them (kufu), and try to master them (neru).
Ultimately, you end up where you started. The journey of life is unending and you can always learn more.
