About our Patch

Essence of Nin (The center kanji/Japanese symbol) - Is Endurance
- 2Cor. 4:8-10 / Heb. 12:1-11 / Matt. 24:13

2Cor. 4:8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are
perplexed , but not in despair; (9) persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down
but not destroyed --(10) always carrying about in the body the dying of the
Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

Heb. 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are of witness, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us, (2) looking unto Jesus, the author
and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne
of God. (3) For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against
Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. (4) You have
not yet resisted to bloodshed striving against sin.

Matt. 24:13 But he who endures till the end shall be saved.

Circles:

The outer black edge circle is black and represents the hidden aspects of
Ninjutsu and how early believers in Christ had to live in secret. They blended
with the world, but did not conform to the world as they renewed their mind
and spirit with the Word of God and spread His teachings. They understood
that the calling was not simply to make converts, but to make disciples; which
they did as they conducted their normal lives.

The second circle which separates our name "SEISHO RYU NINJUTSU" and
the black background is there to remind us to think outside the box, to think
creatively and independently because things are not just black and white. On
the outer side of the circle, the white side represents how we as followers of
Christ are protected, forgiven, blameless, and ultimately washed white as
snow through His blood (Rev. 6:13-17). On the other side the dark sinful
world we must endure for a time.

Sometimes there is a very small, thin line between perceptions of good and
evil. It is only with the knowledge of the Word of God that we will understand
we need to endure shame as Christ has done, forgive, and seek the right
direction at the right time -Gods time.

We are the warriors of this generation and must find the balance and
harmony in Christ to do all that God calls us to do -have faith (Eph. 4:1 / 6:10:
20). This is the area in which the true Seisho Ryu Ninjutsu practitioner
operates because there is no difference between day and night (Psalm 139:
11-12).

The Background Colors:

Background behind our name: The white background represents how we as
followers of Christ are protected, forgiven, blameless, and ultimately washed
white as snow through His blood (Rev. 6:13-17 / Heb. 10:16-30).

Background behind the Crown of Thorns and Nin symbol: The black
background represents the sinful world we life in. It also represents the last
eclipse of the moon before the rapture of the saints (Rev. 6:12-17 / Matt. 24:
29-31)

The Nin symbol represents the endurance that a true Christian should have
to follow Christ. The Nin symbol is actually two words combined, the top word
meaning blade, the bottom meaning spirit, heart or mind. The positioning of
the two words combined can be interpreted several ways including:
    "Even if the sword pierces the heart, you still keep going."
    "Keep the mind and spirit sharp and focused at all times through
    continuing to "Cross Blades" "

The red color of the Nin symbol symbolizes that it is through the Blood of
Christ alone that we can endure this world and do all that God has called us
to do and fulfill our destiny through and in Him.

The Crown of Thorns may be the biggest part of our patch design. It
represents both the perfect will of God, Christ endurance, and faithfulness as
well as His love for us. It is also a reminder to those of Seisho Ryu Ninjutsu to
follow Jesus example of obedience, faith, and endurance.

Furthermore, the Crown of Thorns represents our fundamental body
movements (Taihenjutsu) we call this our "Compass Method".

The white color of the Crown of Thorns represents the purity and sinless
nature of Christ Jesus and those that follow Him. The red accents represents
His blood that was shed for us, that we could be saved in Him. The red
accents of blood also symbolizes that we are under His protection, His blood
acts as a hedge of protection for those that follow Him.

The actual thorns are also a symbol of protection and direction for followers
of Christ Jesus.  Protection of the secrets of Nin, of the true way of Christ -
enduring to the end (Matt. 24:13)

Direction for those that follow Christ. God calls different people to different
callings and places according to His will. The major thorns are a reminder of
the diversity and true calling of each of us and that it is God who calls
according to His will and purpose -Not everyone is an eye or an ear.
Therefore, it is also a reminder to remain humble and respect the path that
other brothers and sisters in the Lord are called to do, and not allow pride to
convince you that yours is the only correct path. Instructors allow God to
direct the steps of His people and encourage faith to grow (Proverbs 3:5-9 /
16:9).

The combination of the Crown of Thorns and the Nin symbol is saying keep
your mind and spirit sharp and focused on Jesus Christ as you endure this
world. It is also saying to follow Christ's example of endurance till the end,
endure past the point of blood and have faith that God will do what He said He
will do (2Cor. 4:8-10).
