Ninjutsu training at The NINPOKAI is unique in that it also includes the vast repertoire of the ninja's secret mental disciplines. Referred to as "occult arts" by those who do not understand them, the ancient ninja's mind techniques allowed him to confront and overcome all obstacles in the natural, Zen-like manner that all humans are capable of but few are able to consciously apply. Among the mental disciplines taught at The Ninpokai are:
* Auto Suggestion * Self Confidence * Fear Projection * Mind Entangling * and many others
The ninja's endless and enduring art has been interpreted to mean many things, among them, The Act of Protecting Against Danger. In this sense, the art empowers the ninja to have control not only against physical danger, but over interpersonal, environmental, and emotional threats as well. In effect, what the study of authentic ninjutsu gives its practitioners is assurance of Total Security.
The NINPOKAI training hall is open to accept sincere and qualified candidates. Personalized instruction is available to men, women, and children over the age of 14. Women should note that, in its completeness, ninjutsu includes a combat-effective female self-protection system known as Onna Shinobi, the Secret Woman.
Due to the nature of the instruction, all applicants are thoroughly interviewed prior to acceptance. Those accepted will be considered probationary members for a period of three months, during which time their sincerity, progress, and motivation will be evaluated. The NINPOKAI reserves the right to dismiss any student whose character, altitudes of intentions are deemed suspect. For an appointment to visit interview, or enroll, email me at Franco95@aol.com
