What makes you a NINJA?

Ninjitsu, it could be a more recent or a very ancient Martial Art, I was at a Martial Arts symposium in the Winter this year, and one of the instructors was demonstrating it. There was a lot of jumping and rolling involved. I heard a story once that in China, they would take the children that were in training to be ninjas and tie bamboo shoots to their legs and have them repeatedly jump over the corn stalks every day, with only the strength of their ankles. That is why they could jump so high. I read it in The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, I forget the authors name though. They could do all those things and more I am sure, you would have to be quite smart to assimilate all that knowledge, so I am sure they had study and mediation as well. I wish I could learn to throw the shuriken even half as well as a real Ninja, it takes years of dedicated training, of which I do not think I can commit myself at this time. The smoke trick is a good one as well. A very good distraction. What do you excel at? That is what Ninja's did, they excelled in their fields. So perhaps you are a ninja at showing Love to your neighbor. With Appreciation.

Oh well... Excel is a big word for me:) I m a modest person myself. I m a pretty good pool player. And i used to excel at math but that didn t help alot so i kinda quited that few years ago. And i used to run 50m under 6 seconds:)) Dunno any of that qualifies as ninja but i can think at nothing more :)

It all counts my friend. Math is a very useful tool, every business requires it to some degree. Running fast has proven to be useful in my life several times.

Exercise it is very good for you. It is my opinion, and I hold it tightly that if you truly want something, you would let nothing stand in your way of getting it. Do not take that the wrong way, I do not believe that anyone has the right to violate the rights of others. I just firmly believe that when you want something, you will make plans for the achievement of it, and adjusting your plans as necessary you will attain your desires. With Appreciation.

Getting all technical on me eh. That is just fine. Thank you so much for the spelling correction, for some reason it did not seem right, and my spell checker would not fix it properly for me. I forget the other name, though I have known it in the past, it is lost in the paths of my mind, I am aware that they are only called ninja's by the outside world. The reference to being a ninja on the other hand, has very little to do with your practice of martial arts, rather, the areas in life where you do very well. That you excel at. and in closing, I love strawberries, and only when they are fresh from the field. With Appreciation.

Never know, if you said it nicely enough you could just shock them into accepting your terms. I agree. Not likely, though, it would be amusing to see on TV. Judo is good, blending arts are my favorite, because they use the most leverage from the attackers. I prefer that to, trying to use my force to subdue someone. With Appreciation.
