For hundreds of years Ninja families lived in the mountains, practicing their esoteric methods of approaching enlightenment through gaining an understanding of the basic laws of nature. History had taught them that they must be prepared to protect their family and their lifestyle. They perfected a system of martial arts that has earned them the reputation for being the most amazing warriors the world has ever known. It is this reputation that initially attracts most people.





The Ninja%26#039;s reputation is put into a better perspective when some facts are brought to light. First, Ninja were not wizards or witches, of course, but ordinary men and women with a unique and misunderstood philosophical viewpoint. This philosophy became a very important part of their combat method. Hence, we refer to our art as Ninpo, the %26quot;po%26quot; suggesting %26quot;a higher order%26quot;, or %26quot;encompassing philosophy.%26quot; The samurai approach to combat was called bushido; it evolved from a general set of guidelines for the gentleman warrior into a formal discipline. The Ninja philosophy, though sharing many of the same values as the original samurai, evolved along a different cultural path.





The Ninja%26#039;s sometimes devious tactics were seen by some as cowardly and disgusting. From the Ninja point of view, however, guerrilla warfare versus a numerically superior force was plain good sense. The Ninja were outnumbered, as a rule, so they had to use unusual methods if they ever hoped to survive. Nevertheless, victory was not always ensured. Japanese history books tell of instances of entire Ninja clans being destroyed.|||Train in yoga and multiple martial arts. You could also take a form of kenpo that is devoted to teaching ninja techniques. I don%26#039;t know what it was called, but I saw it on the discovery channel.|||Well let%26#039;s see the closest to ninja is ninjitsu... Buy a katana and have fun.|||Travel to Chiba-ken, Japan and prove your worth to the Grandmaster of the Bujinkan Dojo, one of the very, very few remaining schools of true ninjitsu in Japan. Togakure-ryu ninjitsu is on its 34th or 35th Grandmaster at this point -- it has been around for centuries. It has only accepted one American as a student ever, however: Stephen Hayes, who attained the rank of 10th Dan after many, many years of hard work.





Sensei Hayes has his own dojo in the US, but he does not teach ninjitsu. He teaches his own style, Toshin-Do. However, many schools in the US teach %26quot;ninjitsu,%26quot; which is now pretty much a catch-all term for a mixture of bits and pieces from all different martial arts.





If you%26#039;re looking for stealth, secrecy, a cache of mysterious weapons, and assassin%26#039;s skills, you%26#039;ll have to look to Hollywood or hope for acceptance at the Japanese dojo.|||The only other thing that you need to be a ninja is to have been born 2 or 3 centuries ago in Feudal Japan.





I%26#039;m afraid that being a ninjitsu student is as close as you are going to get!


.|||Or you could train for the awesome Japanese game show that is... Ninja Warrior! I would recommend lots and LOTS of pull-ups to make it past level 3...|||Get a time machine and go to feudal japan, where samurai and ninjas roamed around. Ninjas are as extinct as medieval knights and Roman soldiers.|||you will never become a true ninja, as said by many above for their reasons.
