  1. Generally, ninjas study the martial art known as ninjitsu. There are numerous fighting styles, some of which are martial arts (Shotokan karate, Kempo karate, jiu-jitsu) and fighting arts which are not martial arts (kickboxing, submission grappling, wrestling, boxing). Ninjitsu or ninjutsu is a martial art which teaches hand-to-hand combat, various weaponry skills and other skills such as how to use equipment to scale buildings, etc. While it may seem like something "cool", the reality is that some martial arts are hard to find b/c there aren't many instructors who teach it, so odds are that you'd have to travel far/wide to find a ninjitsu instructor. Other arts such as kempo or kung fu will teach weaponry and disabling nerve strikes, which is likely to satiate your appetite. If i were you, I'd try out a "trial class" at a few different schools, and be less caught up in trying to become an legitimate ninja. you'll learn 80% of what a ninja is taught in most any other martial arts school.


  2. First become a black-belt in Karate and Kongfu, then trane with a master in the art of Sumarai swordsmanship

    Then, work out so you will be able to do at least 10-20 pullups.

    Lastly, animate yourself so you will be able to do twenty consecutive backflips, just kidding :)(:

  3. well DRINK MILK!!!!

    eat healthy excersise

    watch

    Made on MTV they have one on becoming a karate king.

    Dont hurt your neck :))

  4. go to a gymnastics studio and check into a ninpo or ninjutsu studio?

  5. Join the Navy SEALS.  They are basically Ninjas.  I'm serious; if YOU are serious its the closest thing.  Although good luck getting in; they start eyeing potential recruits, as early as the MEPPS exams (military physicals).  I know, because I got screwed over joining the marines by a navy doctor way back when who blocked my entry into the marines, but did paper work to allow easy entry into the navy, then my marine recruiter droped the word "SEAL" out of nowhere.  I never wanted to be a SEAL; I just wanted a job, a career fresh out of high school, I didn't want to be a trained killer.  I got the offer, because the reputation of the SEALS for injuring their recruits, made it so that their numbers were short, the pool of recruits I mean, so they were scraping the bottom of the barrel and stealing recruits from the Marines.  I'm not bragging; I only got the offer, because they were desperate.  They were willing to take anyone who could do 15 pull ups, and 75 push ups in a row in under a minute.

    However, I read a lot about those guys and, dude...... don't.  The SEALS are killers, through and through, and that job is not for everyone.  In fact, it was the offer to join the SEALS which scared me off from trying to join the military, at least at that time.  The SEALS, like the Ninja, are a unit designed for only one thing; war.  Whereas standard service people do all sorts of jobs, like cooking, computers, etc, the only thing SEALS do, is sneak into a place and blow it to h**l, and then leave, quiet like.  Japanese Ninja did pretty much the same thing, although, whereas the SEALS are military, and the CIA isn't, the Ninja were a combination CIA and SEALS.  That is, rather than have military and espionage units work in different departments, Japanese Ninja simply combined the two.  Some Ninja were CIA type spies, while other ninja were "SEAL" units.

    In a modern context, the Ninja are said to be extinct, but personally I doubt it.  Historically, official history that is, says the Ninja were wiped out 300 years ago.  Actually I think they were wiped out by Hideyoshi Toyotomi who, to the end of his days, lived in fear of them.  In fact it was said Toyotomi died of paranoia.  Whatever the case, as the word "Ninja" implies "espionage," and since spies are good at hiding, I doubt they were simply wiped out.  If they were spy types, they would have obtained information that said "they are planning to wipe us out."  Likely they formulated a plan, and hid, and ever since then they have chosen not to, publicly at least, resurface.  If, they DO still exist, more than likely they operate under the wing of Yakuza clans, because some are descended from Samurai families, and Ninja clans pledged oaths of loyalty to them.  Naturally, oath bound to serve those families, Yakuza bosses likely still employ them, and modern Ninja, instead of using shuriken, blow guns and all that junk, probably use computers, and the coolest high tech espionage gadgets you can think of.  Modern Ninjas are probably closer to James Bond, minus the hollywood action, than they are to the way they are traditionally portrayed in the movies.

    I'm sorry to break it to you buddy but, you can't become a Ninja if you are not Japanese, and a member of a Ninja family, because they have kept an exclusive breeding stock.  Because of the nature of their work, Japanese ninja carefully bred themselves so that the women would be beautiful, and then men strong, intelligent and athletic, depending on their caste.  The ninja were divided into castes, from soldiers, to the brains behind the high level espionage.  As all things "spy" and "ninja," all that stuff is probably secret.  Don't look for them because if I'm right, you won't find them, and don't try because, you are not Japanese, you are not of those families, and I seriously doubt they would consider a foreigner for breeding stock, racist as the Japanese can be, even if said foreigner was east asian.

    Now, if you want to be FIT like a Ninja, train for the Ninja Warrior contest.  The popular T.V. show, is called "Ninja Warrior" because, that obstacle course they use?  Those obstacle courses are used by soldier ninjas to train.  Or were anyway, I am probably wrong and they don't exist anymore.  In other words, only a fully trained Ninja can complete all 3 stages of the obstacle course, and do it consistently.  The Ninja Warrior obstacle course has devoured Olympic athletes and, yes, Navy SEALS, for your information so..... you've got your work cut out for yourself, and if you win, you will be the first foreigner to clear the Ninja Warrior obstacle courses.

    Good luck to you.

    peace out.
