Can you really do ninja training at home? Absolutely....
Won't it take years of ninja training at home to become a modern day ninja? Absolutely not.
Here's a mini course in how to become a ninja from at home training:
There's 3 main areas you want to cover for ninja training at home: Study, physical training, and style.
1. Study - This part of training involves simply studying ninja history. Learning the origins of the past, while learning modern day applications. Having a strong ninja knowledge base is important for becoming a ninja. You learn the past and learn what aspects you can apply to the future. Study is not just a history lesson though. You also want to study the mindset and mentality of ninjas. Learn the strong and positive aspects and then learn how you can apply them to your own life.
2. Training - Physical training is very important for becoming a ninja. And it doesn't just encompass specific martial art technique. A huge part of ninja workouts involve cardiovascular conditioning as well as balance, flexibility skills, and running/jumping type training. This is actually great as this is the type of training you can get started with right away. Fight training should be added in after an initial conditioning period is completed. And even with fight training, you can learn a lot on your own from guide books to videos.
3. Style - Style is in quotes because one doesn't want to associate ninja with some sort of fashion trend. But one cannot ignore the fact that out of all the martial arts, the ninja encompasses the strongest sense of style, in a good way. You want to begin to incorporate this style in your own life, taking a subtle and more modern day approach. Black hoodies should become your new best friend. Flexible pants and lightweight shoes (black wrestling shoes can work well) can be added to your wardrobe. Style involves more than clothes though. Your demeanor should include more of a ninja style. Practice sneaking. Work on moving quickly from one place to another. Practice getting to the point where when someone glances your way, turns back and then looks a second time, you're gone.
