How to Become a Ninja in 10 Almost Easy Steps!
When you hear the word "ninja" you think, " Man, Ninjas are
awesome, I wish I could be a ninja. "
Well guess what? YOU CAN! Just follow the steps in this
article and you my friend, will finally become one of the
most deadly shadow warriors in the world.
Step 1: Have A Full Understanding About Ninjas
First let's start with some definitions 'Ninjutsu' is the
art of stealth, the way of invisibility, and a 'Ninja' is
a legendary spy in Japan. Also realize that ninjas originate
from Japan.
You would learn best from a trained ninja, but since that's
so unlikely, I recommend some decent ninja movies.
(not samurai movies, sure they are just as cool, but you're
becoming a ninja remember?)
Step 2: Intense Training of Kung Fu and all of That Stuff
This is probably the most difficult of all of the steps.
Come on, you can't expect to become a ninja without being able to
perform all of the awesome fighting techniques.
Learning this will allow you to be able to cause harm with your
bare hands.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to teach you these techniques
So you have to teach it to yourself. What? I'm not a sensei!
Oh and a couple more things, ninjitsu is now a forbidden fighting
art form. But if you're your own teacher, you can give yourself a
black belt just because you want to.
Step 3: Learn to be sneaky!
Alright, we all know this. Ninjas are trained to be quiet, unseen and
unnoticed. Training usually started at around 5 or 6 years of age,
learning to walk without any noise, to be able to blend in with a crowd,
and being able to jump from trees and roofs with ease. Who cares if you're a few years
behind in training, I believe in you!
Step 4: Learn about the Weapons
The weapons are the best part about being a ninja, so know what they are!
Shuriken (throwing stars), Nekodes(usually used to climb), Fukumi Bari(needles).
And many other weapons. These are normally difficult to attain, but I suppose you
could make your own if you really wanted to.
Step 5: Make a Ninja Costume
So maybe I lied, the costume is actually the best part about being a ninja.
If you look like a ninja, then you feel like a ninja!
Basically, you have to wear midnight black clothes. Not that hard, is it?
Slap on a ninja mask, strap on your awesome ninja weaponry and look in the
mirror, and say, "I am a ninja.", say this three times to engrain this in your
head.
Step 6: Practice... but Pretend.
The reason why I say 'practice... but pretend' is because it would REALLY
suck if you failed and ended up thrown in jail. So, I recommend to practice on...
a mannequin, or a blow-up doll of some sort.
Place them somewhere, run away, and try to sneak up on them without them,
hearing or seeing you. Chances are they are suspecting a ninja attack,
so be tricky! If you find for some reason you cannot cause harm to your
target, maybe being a ninja is NOT for you.(That would be really sad)
Step 7: Now It's For Real
If you have complete success in Step 6, then you are finally ready to
show off you're awesome ninja skills for real. So, find work. Some rich
business man probably has some sort of enemy, and would love to have you
work for him. (Remember Ninjas are paid to do what they do!)
Step 8: Celebrate
You are finally a full-fledged, paid ninja (and you look good to boot).
Call up some of your close ninja buddies and celebrate your success.
If you are a lone ninja, call up a few non-ninja friends and celebrate
your success... secretly! If your friends ask why you're throwing this
party, tell them you aced your last physics test. Remember: the life of a ninja
is secret!
