Ninja Training – Why Ninjutsu is Much More Than Just Another Martial Art!

Are you serious about learning Ninjutsu – the martial art of the Ninja? If you are, then I’m sure that your reason is due to the amount and level of skills that the Ninja possess when compared to that of other martial arts.

In fact, to most people – including other martial artists – the Ninja is at the top of the proverbial “food-chain” when it comes to martial arts training. And yet, to look around the world at the way most students and teachers are practicing the art – the way most practitioners limit their training to Ninpo/Budo-taijutsu – the armed and unarmed self defense skills – it would appear that Ninjutsu is merely a martial arts choice, among martial arts choices.

And, nothing could be further from the truth.

If this were so – if ninjutsu was just another “style” of fighting and limited to the same blocks, punches, kicks, and other techniques possessed and used by others – the art would have died out long ago. And yet, here we are, over 10 centuries from the “recorded” origins of the art – and the art of the Ninja is still going strong in the 21st century! So, why is Ninjutsu more than merely another martial art? What gives it the ability to weather the winds of time to be just as strong today as it ever was?

In a word: “options.”

The art of Ninjutsu is just more complete – has more skills sets, strategies, and tools – for handling the many faces of conflict that can arise.

Unlike the conventional martial systems, that seem to focus strictly on hand-to-hand combat, as though that was the only face of warfare (the word martial means “warfare”), the Ninja understands that danger, force, and harm can come from many different sources, and in many different forms. Not only is there the conflict inherent in conventional self defense against a criminal attacker, but there is also…

Deception, manipulation, and control from family, co-workers, and adversaries
Stress from work, school, and family obligations
The onslaught of manipulative messages from advertising, the media, special interest groups
Natural and man-made dangers like accidents, terrorism, and natural disasters
And others

And, often, these are more insidious and dangerous than the attacker on the street who’s trying to punch, stab, or shoot you! These are the dangers that require more than an ichimonji no kamae (‘defensive posture’), or some ancient kata to survive.

To be a Ninja is to be an “enduring person” a a human being capable of adapting to and dealing with anything that might cause harm. It is the ability to “ride the storm,” physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – knowing when to act and when to conceal yourself until the time to act is appropriate and advantageous.

Are you serious about mastering the art of ninjutsu – about having the power, confidence, and control to handle any attacker – any situation?

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Muyejebo is a Korean martial art manual written during the reign of King Seonjo in 1598. As the Imjin war dragged on for years, Korea needed a way to effectively train a large number of troops, and the Korean military adopted a training methodology based on a Chinese military manual called Ji Xiao Xin Shu (Hangul: ?효??, Hanja: ????) written by a famous Chinese strategist Qi Jiguang (??光). The book was of particular interest to Koreans as it was written by a Chinese strategist and a commander who has successfully defeated a major Japanese pirate force that landed in Southeast coast of China mere decades before the Imjin war. Koreans created their own version of the military training manual based on the Chinese version and called it Muyejebo. The Muyejebo contains chapters about the use of the following weapons: The information about the use of the Wisteria shield with the throwing spear and the waist sword was in one chapter. The king ordered his officials to add supplemental information to the Muyejebo, he died however before this work got published. His successor, king Gwanghaegun, continued the work of his father which let to the publication of the Muyejebo Sokjip (??????, ??????) by Choe Gi-nam (Hangul: ???, Hanja: ???). Around the time the book was to be published, four volumes of a Japanese martial arts manual were added as well, leading to the compilation of the Muyejebo Beonyeok Sokjip (????????, ????????) in 1610. Of this later version a woodcut edition still exists at the university of Keimyung. In 1759 the book was again revised and published as the Muyesinbo (Hangul: ????, Hanja: ????). Both books, the Muyejebo and the Muyesinbo, formed the basis

“5000 Years of Korean Martial Art” is a one of a kind history book.  No other Korean martial art history book on the market is as complete and in-depth.  Citing historical references for support, and featuring many rare pictures and some images that are not available from any other published source.  This book attempts to place Korean martial arts in it’s proper historical perspective in relationship to Chinese and Japanese martial arts.  Both Chinese and Japanese martial arts have well known and documented histories, so much so that they have completely overshadowed Korean martial art history.  I have attempted to compensate for that overshadowing by focusing on the successes of the Korean martial arts throughout history. Barry Harmon has a BA degree in “Psychosomatics and Alternative Healing Studies” from San Francisco State University.  He has an acupuncture degree from the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.  He is certified nationally through the NCCAOM and license to practice acupuncture in Texas.  In addition to his academics, he has been training and studying martial arts since 1965 and Kuk Sool Won since 1971.  In 2002 KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) featured Master Harmon and his family in an hour long documentary which was aired throughout South Korea. Master Harmon currently holds an 9th degree black belt in Kuk Sool Won and has been featured in numerous martial arts magazines.  In 2005 he was chosen by Tae Kwan Do Times magazine as instructor of the year.  He has taught martial arts in many countries around the world including South Korea.
