Ninja are fighters that appeared in Japan in the 14th century. They did work (for example, assassination, assassination, espionage) that the samurai could not do, they were not allowed to do it by the samurai code. Over time, some ninja skills have become obsolete, but those who are interested, for example, in the techniques of deception and espionage, the principles by which the ninja acted may be interesting.
Ninja philosophy
Before becoming a ninja, you need to understand what principles they followed and what goals they pursued. There is a large amount of literature on this topic, for example, books by the Japanese writer Masaaki Hatsumi. From these books, you will learn that some served their masters, completely obeying their will, others used their skills to protect their own families, and others were engaged in hired work. Explore the ninja lifestyle and prepare yourself for that kind of life.
Ninja is a life path, it cannot be overcome in a week or a month. In ancient Japan, the process of mastering ninja skills took several decades.
Silence
If you decide to become a ninja, no one should know about it. Learn to keep your activities a secret from everyone. Life as a ninja is like a spy, so you have to be able to hide your goals and intentions. You also should not be betrayed by your appearance. Do not wear black ninja costumes, this outfit is an attribute of theatrical performance of Kabuki, it was used as a good way to disguise an actor on the stage. Your clothes should be casual, not distinguishing you from other people.
Ninjas have not always worked alone, so if you have a friend who is also interested in this, you can do it together.
Self-control
A true ninja must have complete control over himself. Learn to drop emotions when making decisions, rational and logical thinking is impossible if you are simultaneously worried about something. The situation and atmosphere in which you are in no way should dominate you, think over your actions and draw conclusions as if you were giving advice to another person. Follow these principles every day, the only way you can come to true self-control.
Physical and mental development
Constantly engage in the development of your own body. Improve your stamina, flexibility and agility. Go in for sports, go to the pools, take part in the races, work on stretching. Engage in strength training, while it is not necessary to visit gyms, the task of pumping up large muscles is not at all worth it.
Be aware of everything you do, never forget about self-education. The ninja should always be knowledgeable. A good knowledge of the subject of your activity will help you to merge with others and even gain complete control over the events taking place.
Fighting skills
Ninja is a master of sabotage and combat. One of the mandatory attributes of any ninja is the mastery of one or another martial art, as well as the ability to use fighting equipment. Many of these ninja skills are unlikely to need to be used, but you need to be aware of them. Learn hand-to-hand combat techniques, learn how to use a sword, blades and other melee weapons.
