Martial Arts Training

Can you really do ninja training at home? Absolutely.

Won't it take years of ninja training at home to become a modern day ninja? Absolutely not.

Here's a mini course in how to become a ninja from at home training:

There's 3 main areas you want to cover for ninja training at home: Study, physical training, and style.

1. Study. This part of training involves simply studying ninja history. Learning the origins of the past, while learning modern day applications. Having a strong ninja knowledge base is important for becoming a ninja. You learn the past and learn what aspects you can apply to the future. Study is not just a history lesson though. You also want to study the mindset and mentality of ninjas. Learn the strong and positive aspects and then learn how you can apply them to your own life.

2. Training. Physical training is very important for becoming a ninja. And it doesn't just encompass specific martial art technique. A huge part of ninja workouts involve cardiovascular conditioning as well as balance, flexibility skills, and running/jumping type training. This is actually great as this is the type of training you can get started with right away. Fight training should be added in after an initial conditioning period is completed. And even with fight training, you can learn a lot on your own from guide books to videos.

3. "Style". Style is in quotes because one doesn't want to associate ninja with some sort of fashion trend. But one cannot ignore the fact that out of all the martial arts, the ninja encompasses the strongest sense of style, in a good way. You want to begin to incorporate this style in your own life, taking a subtle and more modern day approach. Black hoodies should become your new best friend. Flexible pants and lightweight shoes (black wrestling shoes can work well) can be added to your wardrobe. Style involves more than clothes though. Your demeanor should include more of a ninja style. Practice sneaking. Work on moving quickly from one place to another. Practice getting to the point where when someone glances your way, turns back and then looks a second time, you're gone.

A must have for ninja training at home is a good online guide book. You have 2 to choose from:

The first one takes a look at history and then focuses on modern day at home training. It's really good - http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-be-a-real-ninja

The second takes a slightly different slant on ninjas, including some modern day ninja tactics you might not have thought of. It's different, and a bit more hardcore as you'll see here - http://NinjaSecrets.info

Martial Arts and Philosophy $21.95 Socrates, an Athenian soldier, was a calmly efficient killing machine. His student Plato was an accomplished and broad-shouldered wrestler. Martial arts and philosophy have always gone hand in hand, as well as fist in throat. Philosophical argument is closely parallel with hand-to-hand combat. And all of today’s Asian martial arts—like Karate, Kung-Fu, Judo, or Aikido—were developed to embody and apply philosophical ideas. The Japanese martial tradition of Budo, for instance, was influenced by the three philosophical traditions of Shinto, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism, and these philosophies are still taught in Japanese martial arts schools all across the world. As Damon Young explains in his chapter, the Japanese martial arts customs of courtesy are derived from Shinto purity, Confucian virtues, and the loving brutality of Zen. In his interview with Bodidharma (included in the book), Graham Priest brings out aspects of Buddhist philosophy behind Shaolin Kung-Fu—how fighting monks are seeking Buddhahood, not brawls. But as Scott Farrell’s chapter reveals, Eastern martial arts have no monopoly on philosophical traditions. Western chivalry is an education in and living revival of Aristotelian ethical theories. The Western martial art of fencing is explored by Nick Michaud, who looks at the morality of selfishness in fencing, and Christopher Lawrence and Jeremy Moss, who try to pin down what makes fencing unique: is it the sword, the techniques, the footwork, the aristocratic aura, or something else? Jack Fuller argues that his training in Karate was an education in Stoicism. Travis Taylor and Sasha Cooper reveal the utilitarian thinking behind Jigoro Kano’s Judo. Kevin Krein maintains that the martial arts are a reply to the existentialist’s anxiety about the meaninglessness of life. Patricia Peterson examines Karate’s contribution to feminism, and Scott Beattie analyzes the role of space in the martial arts school. Joe Lynch pits the Western ideas of Plato against the Eastern ideas of the Shaolin monks. Bronwyn Finnigan and Koji Tanaka uncover the meaning of human action as it appears in Kendo. Rick Schubert explains the meaning of mastery in the fighting arts. Moving to ethical issues, Tamara Kohn discovers what we owe to others in Aikido. Chris Mortensen questions whether his own Buddhist pacifism is compatible with being a martial artist. In different ways, Gillian Russell and John Haffner and Jason Vogel assess the ways in which martial arts can morally compromise us. How can the sweaty and the brutal be exquisitely beautiful? Judy Saltzman looks into the curious charm of fighting and forms, with help from Friedrich Nietzsche.
