One of the most common concerns that I hear from people - men and women - who have taken martial arts or self defense training is they doubt whether or not they'll actually be able to use what they've learned under pressure - during a real attack. And, unfortunately, because of something that I call, "The Karate-Myth," this is no surprise.This article offers a few, very important, suggestions for handling stressful situations from the art of...more
One of the skills that draws many people to Ninjutsu training, is stealth. Regardless of whether it is part of the mystery that the Ninja warriors of ancient Japan exude, or the recognition that, sometimes, you cannot risk letting your enemy attack you from the front - the fact remains that stealth training is one of the most asked about skills.This article serves to answer the commonly asked question, "Are stealth skills really necessary in modern Ninjutsu training?" After you read every word on this page, I want you to think about this topic from a strategic perspective, and see if you come to the same conclusion.If I asked you the question, "Do you think stealth walking/moving is necessary in the art of ninjutsu?"What would your answer be?And, why?For many people, regardless of whether they are in favor of stealth training or not, their perspective typically stems from the preconception that stealth training is merely for "sneaking around," spying, and other underhanded purposes.

Most students new to the Ninja's arts are introduced to the concept of kamae from their very first class. As I've discussed many times before, this idea of "kamae," is very different from that of the stances seen in many of the more conventional martial arts of today.And, while many students and teachers alike, try to reduce the Ninja's postures to simple, anatomical poses that are performed with the body, there is actually much more to these apparently "basic" pieces of the self-defense "puzzle."The purpose of this article is to focus in on how the Ninja's postures relate to the concept of safety and self defense. While I talk about the difference between kamae and stances in other places, suffice it to say that, for our purposes here, we are talking about something (kamae) that is very dynamic, energetic, and "alive" - as opposed to being "set," static, and almost statue-like as is the case with the way many martial arts approach the idea of "stances."After you read every word of this lesson, I want you to think about how the dynamic nature of the Ninja's kamae is much more suited to the energy and chaos of a real street fight or attack, than the static poses used in the more...more
