Kata are the formal exercises of all Kara-Te. They are the books where the techniques and principles are kept. By practicing kata one comes to understand and know the fine details of each technique, so that he can perform them to perfection. Mi Lu Kata, the Lost Track Form, is a series of “vanishing steps,” practiced in a specific flowing sequence, that allow the Ninja to magically disappear before the enemy can make an attack and do him harm. This DOJO-Academy of Martial Arts video is the final in this series and concludes with the dynamic Board Breaking Test which will prove to the student, even self taught, that he has the power of life and death in his hands and qualifies for certification as a Black Belt 1st Degree in Mugei Mumei no Jitsu, “No Name, No Art” Kara-Te.
In Lesson Four YOU will learn:
These exercises and techniques are found in many other martial arts styles and systems. They are equally effective if used individually or as part of a larger scheme of combat. What makes them unique is their utter simplicity and effectiveness. Anyone can learn to throw a handful of sand in the enemies eyes so they can vanish and escape. That is the secret of Ninja invisibility. Mi Lu Kata- the Dance of Invisibility is a series of similar methods distracting an attacker so you can flee.
All martial arts start out by telling you that, "These are secret and deadly methods that can only be used when you have exhauted all avenues of escape." Then they teach you how to stand and fight. The Ninja could "fight or disappear!" This was one way they practiced.
You must remember that Koga Ryu Ninjitsu was developed around Koka City, the city of medicine, which was known for the production of mugwort, used in moxibustion and cupping therapy, massage, shiatsu, herbal medicine and acupuncture. The did not want to fight anyone. When the Shogun began his "sword hunt" to destroy the Samurai and his political enemies, they were forced to create a non-violent martial art that could be used by everyone and learned quickly, because the extermination was upon them. They did not raise an army, they did not go to the battlefield.
They used invisibility as their weapon, darkness was their ally, fear was their sword. By creating the myth they had magical powers and could vanish at will, they could pass anywhere, invade any sanctuary and terrify their enemies as they slept. Due to the incredible effectiveness and simple nature of these techniques, they were a closely guarded secret for many centuries, known only as Mugei-Mumei no Jitsu, "No Name, No Art" because at one time, it was forbidden even to say the word Ninjitsu, on pain of death.
