One of the most common questions that new students trying to learn ninjutsu - the art of Japan's ancient Ninja warriors - is related to why there are so many kamae, stances or postures, in the Ninja's self defense system.And, while most teachers and students see the kamae as "necessary evils" that you must learn to get to the "cool stuff." The master understands the deep-level secrets contained within the kamae which makes them more than simply...more
Since around the mid 1980's there has been, and continues to be a serious impediment to students trying to learn ninjutsu. It's bad enough when our own beliefs and erroneous ideas get in the way when trying to learn ninjutsu, but when the problem lies in the way the lessons are passed down... what can you do?This article focuses on a belief about a lesson within ninpo taijutsu (aka budo taijutsu) known as kihon happo. This misguided idea was developed by less-than-knowledgeable junior instructors and has continued to limit and cripple the development of well-meaning students to this day. Hopefully, after reading this article, you will be able to see through the illusion that persists and break free to be able to truly take your training in the art of Ninjutsu, to the next level of Mastery!According to the belief, the kihon happo are really a set of 8 fundamental techniques.

And, because when translated from the...more

There are many aspects to even the most conventional martial arts training, but trying to learn Ninjutsu self defense training literally involves learning more skills than almost any other self defense system out there. This is not said to impress you, but rather to impress upon you that, without the proper perspective, and the proper guidance, you could be deluding yourself with regards to your training, its effectiveness, or your level of skill.And, while many students focus on most of the skills contained within the art, the truth is that there is one aspect that is often neglected by most students of the art - teachers included!Do you know what it is?Any guesses?The truth is that, even if you listed all of the techniques and skills that students tend to shy away from because they are boring, uncomfortable, or that take you out of your comfort zone, it might not be what you think it is!What I'm talking about is solo training. Practice away from your teacher and the dojo environment.And, while many students have no choice but to train on their own, the vast majority of martial artists in general, and those trying to learn ninjutsu specifically, have a tendency to forget about...more
