🇯🇵 師匠・伊藤琢哉からの声明 (Statement from Master Takuya Ito)
🌟 Embracing a Unique Path: The Takuya Ito Approach
My esteemed friends and seekers of knowledge, as you are all aware, the application window officially closed in November. While we sought to fill just one position, the criteria for entry have fundamentally shifted.
I am no longer simply accepting students. I am now exclusively seeking individuals for whom a deep, personal commitment to learn from me, Takuya Ito, is paramount. They must be willing to join based on a profound understanding of my philosophy.
🗻 Ascend the Motivation Mountain
It is true that from December onwards, various logistical challenges—issues with computer visibility, emails not being seen, or messages failing to arrive—will inevitably arise. These are the technical risks of my operation.
Yet, you must not falter. You must not be thrown off course by these trivialities.
Before even considering an application, you must already have taken the time—many times—to thoroughly review my entire body of work:
-
Read every post on my blog.
-
Watch every video on YouTube and YouTube Shorts.
-
Scrutinize my presence across all SNS platforms, including X and the five separate Instagram accounts.
By absorbing this vast, public repository of knowledge, you should already be beyond the need for a ‘paid trial lesson.’ My teaching is, in essence, a free school. The concept of a free trial is deliberately avoided to eliminate the risk of feeling obligated or subjected to a sales pitch—an eventuality that will never occur in my non-staffed, self-managed domain.
🛡️ A Commitment Beyond Service
My approach is not a typical educational service or charity. I teach not out of a sense of duty or altruism, but out of a deep-seated necessity: if I do not teach, I risk descending into the stagnation of a ‘Great Lord’ (Daimyō), losing my drive and purpose. This personal history, I admit, is a ‘bad track record’—a self-imposed test to ensure I remain engaged and challenged.
In facing this commitment, you must understand the essence of my method: the Lying Dragon’s Independent Theory Development Technique (Garyū Jiron Tenkai Hōshiki Gijutsu). This is a methodology that is unique, not just in Japan, but in the entire world.
I am not rejecting applications; I am merely setting a prerequisite. Only those who genuinely find this method good, who wish to ground their learning in my character, my philosophy, and my entire unique methodology, are granted permission to enter.
✅ The Risk Hedge of True Discipleship
Think of it like fire or earthquake insurance. We live life hoping these disasters will never strike, yet we take precautions because of the possibility. This is risk management.
My entry requirement is your risk hedge.
Those who are influenced by and grounded in this way of thinking—those who commit to this unique path—must rise up. Aim for the top of the Motivation Mountain. Seek to become a teacher who will never falter, mirroring the unyielding spirit of Takuya Ito himself.
Come and climb that mountain.
Would you like me to provide a more concise, bullet-pointed summary of this philosophy?
