Is it possible to actually become a NINJA?

If so how many years does it take?


Just curious don%26#039;t really want to be a ninja! LOL!|||Hi there





No its not. Even the people who train in Ninjutsu will tell you that they don%26#039;t call themselves ninjas. There are no more ninjas just like there are no more samurai%26#039;s. Training in ninjutsu, iaido, kendo or koryu jujutsu doesn%26#039;t make you either.





People train these days for enjoyment and nothing more.





If you are interested in training then do searches on the Bujinkan, Jinenkan and Genbukan. These are the only 3 schools that teach authentic ninjutsu. Avoid the rest.





If there is a person that can call himself the last living ninja then that would have to be hatsumi.





There%26#039;s lots of crap on the net regarding this art so take what you read with a pinch of salt. But if you know what your looking for and where to look then you might just get lucky!





Best wishes





idai|||yeah it is, go to the army and tell them you want to be a navy seal|||well it depends how much u proctice. if u practice evryday of the year for about an hour u would be a good ninjs.|||yes... possible just hella not likely.... you would haf to find Dr.Hatsumi and convince him to train you 2 be a ninja legit old school feudal japan style then if you lived yay!! and it would take..... 24/7/365 for a few years|||You won%26#039;t really be a NINJA by blood or social status. It is the same as asking %26quot;Is it possible to actually become a Samurai? Of course you won%26#039;t be a Samurai nowadays. But It is possible to train in their combat arts. The same with Ninjutsu, you%26#039;ll just learn their legacy of the Ninja art.


The Bujinkan is one of the organizations that teaches the Ninja art. You can master the Ninja skills.|||not unless you assinsted some one ...which is murder,so not legally.|||Well if you can do all the stuff in the following link lol

Hire yourself out to the mafia as a contract killer. Then rob a few banks. When you get sent to prison organize a riot then escape. Go back to the mafia and pull off a few assasinations and then become a money collector for the mob.





If you can emotionally and physically survive all this on the job training, you will be on your way to becoming a real NINJA.|||Ronco is on to something. Just like a samurai wasn%26#039;t just a guy with a sword.





Ninja are folklore anyway. The idea is that they used whatever means (disguise, poison trickery) to do a job. It wasn%26#039;t always assassins in black catsuits. Ninja were employed as often as spies and saboteurs. In most situations, a hired assassin was a hired assassin. The ninja were like a syndicate, supposedly only open to those of particular families, but who really knows?


Nobody, that%26#039;s who. Remember that the Japanese history books have an ancestral founder sinking an invading Korean ship with a single arrow. They love their stories as much as we do with our Columbus and Paul Revere. And our Paul Bunyans and Pecos Bills.





I imagine you could train your butt off though. Heck, special forces in our modern military (SEALS, Marines, Army Rangers, etc) train you in some serious stealth infiltration, if you can make the cut. No wasting time on that outdated sword and throwing star jazz, either. Just screw on the silencer!|||No. The ninja era is over. It ended with the samurai c 16th century. Ninjas aren%26#039;t people who do flips and other stuff like is advertised on tv and the internet. They were assassins, sabotaged people, and were spies. They were considered a disgrace to Japan. Today, their deadly art ninjitsu is still practiced today.
