Training To Be a Ninja in Every Part of Your Life!
This is the first video from my ninjutsu Black Belt Course for a ninja in training. It talks about the physical training but there is so much more to your training to be a ninja.
Training To Be A Ninja
Ninjutsu has been found to be the most effective martial art in the world. It works on scientific principles. As a ninja in training you will learn physics, anatomy and psychology. Ninja training is truly a science.
Science implies that there are formulas and principles that can be applied to get predictable results. This is absolutley true in ninjutsu. Ninjutsu and its ninja training teaches you the understanding and application of 45 degree angles to move minimally and effortlessly out of danger. These scientific angles also put you in the perfect postition in relation to your opponent to take advantage of their vulnerabilities.
Work the formula and principle, get the predictable result.
It is also a science in that you do experiments. In fact, if you approach your ninja training as a series of experiments you will advance faster and learn better. I tell my students training to be a ninja in my ninjutsu school to think about the dojo as a “Life Skills Laboratory”. If you can believe that everything you do is an experiement then it lowers frustration and sets you up to be more aware.
It allows you to:
- Observe yourself
- Observe your opponent
- Observe the interaction
- Observe your emotions
- Observe your thoughts
If you approach your training to be a ninja in this way you will develop a keen insight into youself and others. This is key for a ninja oin training. It is the heart of ninjutsu. Some of the goals for a ninja in training is self-actualization, enlightenment and perfection of self. Observation and learning about yourself and people in general gives you ultimate power (in a good way).
But ninjutsu is also an art
I can teach you all the science and principles but I can’t make you “own” them. By owning them I mean learning and understanding ninjutsu in a way that it becomes you. Someone told me when I began training to be a ninja that “At first you do ninjutsu, and later ninjutsu does you“.
I thought “Yeah, he really likes this stuff and wants to hook me on the mystical mumbo jumbo”. Well, as a ninja in training I started doing ninjutsu. After about 3 or 4 years I started noticeing something odd. I was not bumping into things much anymore. I started “knowing things” that I shouldn’t be abe to know. I would side step just in time. As I moved through a crowd they would magically make way for me to pass.
I started to do things in the ninjutsu school that I couldn’t explain. One of my ninjas in training would throw a punch and miss my face. At first I thought they were just being respectful. But I would ask them to make sure they punch right at my face. They would miss. That’s when I started to understand that the art was “doing me”. I began to be able to teach others to do the same thing, much to their surprise.
Training to be a ninja is a whole experience. Ninjutsu is about your body, your mind and your spirit (whatever you percieve that to be). As a ninja in training you will experiment, observe, apply, learn and surprise and amaze yourself.
If you haven’t started, what are you waiting for?!

The ninja art is legend is steeped in mystery
The ninja practiced an art that included every aspsect of their lives. The ninja studied human behavior, words, actions, movement and thoughts. They were considered wizards or demons. Really, the ninja had learned secrets of how life works. Then they used these ninja secrets to bend the world to serve them.
They had ilttle use for riches. Basically they were farmers. They understood that the mindless search for wealth was a mental sickness. In fact, this sickness could be used to get results. The ninja could use words then to their advantage. They could say things to people who had this “sickness” and manipulate them to behave as the ninja wanted.
Ninja Art of Peace
The ninja art was not just punching and kicking, invisibility and wall climbing. The real ninja art was learning the ninja secrets of how people and nature really worked. The ninja could then utilize these secrets and the “ninja words” to make sure that their village, their families and their lives could be safer and more peaceful. Peace was the real ninja secret. They learned to manipulate the world to create peace for their village.
The ninja started out as a people who wanted to be left alone to raise their families and practice their religion in peace. The Emperor wanted everyone to be subject to his will and sent the samurai to enforce it. The ninja kept trying to move further into the widerness. But they kept being persecuted by the armies of the Emperor.
Because they were in nature, away from the distractions of major cities and had a great respect for the nature they lived in, they were able to learn by observing. They observed nature, people and animals to learn the ninja secrets that made them legendary. For hundreds of years they only used their ninja art and ninja secrets to protect themselves, their families and their villages.
Ninja Words
There are ninja words that hold infinite power and can profoundly change your life and the world we live in. The ninja words you really need to learn are:
- Perseverance

Ura Gyaku is an inward wrist twist. It is also the name of this kata.
Wrist locks are an effective tool in your defense and attack. Ura gyaku is an inward wrist twist that will cause the attacker to move forward to relieve the pressure.
If done with great force it will shear the tendons and brake the wrist joint. I teach my students to develop connection and control to win. Rarely will it be necessary to break the wrist.
The principle in this kata is Continue reading »
