Question 1

Is this authentic? I thought ninjas were only in movies & comics...?

Accepted Answer

Good question. Many fakes are out there. :) Don't worry, this is genuine Ninjutsu. The martial arts we teach & study go back centuries. Our Chief Instructor is a direct student of the Grandmaster & has been training for 40+ years. Our dojo has also been recognized & vetted by the Japanese Consulate.

Question 2

How long does it take to become proficient or to earn promotions?

Accepted Answer

We focus on individual growth for each student. Everyone learns & grows at their own pace, so you'll have a lot of impact on how quickly you progress. :) Regardless of rank, as a dojo member, you'll learn practical & useful techniques for keeping yourself safe, from the time you start training.

Question 3

Do you train with weapons? How long before I can start doing that training?

Accepted Answer

Our art is very versatile & includes: Striking (punching, kicking, etc.), Grappling (like joint locks, holds & escapes), and Weapons, as well as non-physical or esoteric aspects. Weapons training is built into the art, not an add-on, & you'll learn to use various tools & weapons from the start.

Question 4

Do I have to study another art first, before learning Ninjutsu?

Accepted Answer

That's a common myth, but not true. If you've studied another art, some aspects of that training may carry over & can be something to build from. If you've not trained before, there are likely fewer habits to unlearn. :) Both cases can be good, depending on the individual student & their approach.
