A group of SEALS were sent to protect a guy with a hat on in a room for the TV show and challenge any and all personell who came near and shoot on site anyone they wanted too. There was a set time of say 8 hours they had to protect this person. They were also given questions to answer by the TV producer where the answers were found in the house (not in the room with the target guy in the hat) so all 6 of them wouldn't be idle in the room at the same time. Now this is how the "Modern Day Ninja" guy got the hat off the target. He put on some coveralls and put a hat on a carried a ladder into the house with a can of aerosol air. In a course of 2 or 3 hours he came into the house every 30min. or so pretending to spray off the lenses of the TV cameras posted in the house. At first the SEALs resisted his approach and wouldnt let him spray the cameras in that one room. The Ninja claimed to be from the show and needed to dust off the lenses for the show (Yes the SEALS were given rules of engagement and it did say challenge any and all under any circumstances and shoot with the paintballs at will) They got complacent and eventually let him in as they were now some what familiar after his several trips over in a course of these 2 hours. When he was pretenting to dust off one of the cameras he jumped from the ladder and snatched the hat off the target.
Get the idea?
niiice! i bet the seals felt dumb. lol

if you pass an demonstrate prove your worth an efficiency in ninjitsu
Soke Ashida Kim himself will personally mail u a ninja black belt an an exclusive platinum edition membership card in which u will never be a lonely ninja an have connection anywhere u travel
I think the recent movie Batman Begins brought back much of the ninja excitement that people loved about that character. This combined with great games like Ninja Gaiden and Shinobu for the Xbox took great strides in bringing back the fame and mystique of the ninja.
As I'm relatively new to these forums I have only just stumbled across this thread.
In Batman Begins, although Liam Neeson and Christian Bale are seen wearing ninjutsu garb, they were actually trained in a style called Keysi.
Hmm... I don't have a problem training, I expected that. The only problem I have is video taping myself stealthing, if he can't see me how does he know I'm stealthing correctly (or even in front of the camera), if he can see me I'm doing something wrong.
Chapel i thing it depends on how you use your new stealth ability.... if he cannot charge your credit card because it is shrouded in stealthiness, you fail, if it approves, he approves.
For those of you who want a little more substance than shinobi-kokujin's crash course, but don't have the time/patience/strength to find a master and make your way through proper training, there is a ninjutsu correspondence course that you can take. I'm afraid that the ads for this course are really good, as they seem to be able to hide from me whenever I'm actively looking, but if you buy enough fitness magazines and Black Belt issues, you should run across an ad eventually.
From what I remember of the ad, you get a set of videos to learn from. For each rank you achieve, you correspond with the master of the style, who, for a modest fee, gives you a "yay" or "nay."
A year or so later, you've got yourself a full mastery of all of the skills it takes to be a ninja.

At least, that's what the ad says.
i know it is sad, but i cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or not..... what was the ad like? a mail in McDojo, or more a collection of resources?
Sorry. I get that periodically. I am so often sarcastic that it becomes difficult to tell if I'm serious or not.
It was a "You can become a real ninja in one year without ever meeting your sensei."
I think that I would consider that a mail-in McDojo.
I actually saw another "ninjutsu" training deal that trumped this one. It's in a Black Belt from maybe five years ago. It's an ad for a martial arts pyramid scheme. You get these tapes, and within an insanely short amount of time (I think it was actually measured in hours, not even days), you are a black belt. You then turn around and do the same thing. Each person gets a percentage of the sales of all of the people below them in the pyramid. I nearly died when I read that. I know that Black Belt needs to make money, but I sometimes wish that they would pick and choose what ads they would run.
