Ninja Gear

We’ve all heard some fascinating stories about ninjas and their abilities. When reading and hearing some such stories I often wonder where is the line between reality and myth.
If you asked yourself the same question, you will be pleased to know that there is a new book available which discovers the truth and brings a new light to the ninja history.

Dr. Hirohisa Oda dedicated a part of his life studying the ninja history, collecting and analyzing all the available facts and rare historical materials, and finally writing his discoveries in a book called Real Ninja – The AMAZING Truth About Japan’s Masters of Espionage and Ninjutsu.

Here is a nice review of this book from Amazon:

“Real Ninja” is a historical account of ninjutsu. The book begins with a discussion of the ninja clans, their employment by the Shogunate, and famous individual ninja such as `Fuuma’ and `Tobikatoo’. We also get to read of associated groups such as the `Oniwaban’ – Garden Security Samurai, and the `Negoru Group’ – the Matchlock Gunner Group.

Dr. Hirohisa Oda then reviews various ninja tools. We learn of the `Rokugu’ or the six items always carried by a ninja whenever he stepped out of his house. Of course we read of weapons such as the ninja sword and the shuriken, but careful reading also reveals tips such as employing `metsubushi’ (Blinding Powder) by rolling it in a narrow strip of cloth and then snapping that cloth toward the enemy’s face to cast the metsubushi into his eyes.

Reading about the `ninja arts’ we learn about `yamabiko’ (employment of double agents), ninja codes (angoo), and various poisons such as trychnos, balloon fish, and moonlight mushroom.

A brief explanation of the ninja nine signs of concentration is given with photographs showing each hand position.

Next we get a description of ninja houses and the secrets that were built into them, along with a list of still-existing ninja houses in Japan.

Although we tend to see the ninja as spies and assassins in the popular press, Dr, Hirohisa Oda shows us how the ninja were often associated with physicians, and how physicians became ninja.

Finally we see modern day ninja, such as the Nakano School, established in 1938, and used to train the Japanese military in ninjutsu techniques.

The student of ninjutsu should have an understanding of the history of the ninja, and that is just what one gets with `Real Ninja”. I recommend this book for any serious student of ninjutsu.

To conclude, I will say that this book is definitely a must for those interested in the Ninja Arts, Ninjutsu, Ninja Secret Service, Ninja weaponry, and all the different devices they’ve used. Contents and illustrations are based on rare historical materials originally recorded in Japanese.

This book is currently not available on Amazon but you can download the book from here.

A movie that ignited the popularity of ninjas in the 80′s was ‘Enter the Ninja’, directed by Menahem Golan.
Even though it was the typical low-production action ninja movie of the 80s, people found it amusing to watch.
Cole is played by Franco Nero, who is this western guy that manages to get to the top of the ninja scene by hard work and dedication, while facing many threats of others.
He figured that his skills made him a mighty weapon, and we see this when he travels to the Philippines to visit and old friend when he gets attacked by some local thugs.

Actually, these thugs are in fact working for a larger group of people dealing in organized crime, which is ruled by a cruel boss.

The boss soon learns that Cole is going to be a threat to him, so he makes a firm decision and hires Cole’s old enemy from Japan, Hasegawa, to take care of him.

Hasegawa starts a rampage everywhere and being very loud about his intentions. That’s when Cole puts on his white ninja suit and heads for a big fight with his enemy.

At that time, the film was made as a typical action film, comparable to the latest Chuck Norris movies. It had all the ingredients.

Many people find the horrible flaws of the movie actually funny. The sound effects are poor, including the visuals, which make the fights seem like comedy sometimes. And don’t forget those statements which sound like a variation of Arnold’s “Hasta la vista, baby!”. Typical for an 80′s action movie.

Most Ninja’s want to own more than one type of throwing knife. Many current knives work very well, especially with practice. Some of the most crucial things about a knife are length, weight, and balance.

Length is the first most important thing. A knife has to be at least nine inches long (not more than 16 inches) in order for it to have good performance and effects. If the knife is shorter than nine inches, it won’t go deep well. If it is bigger than 16 inches, it will be difficult to handle. On the other hand, a smaller knife will not be that effective, they will only be easier to hide.

The second most important thing is the weight of the knife. In the community of trained knife throwers, a well known approximate ratio of one inch to the ounce is standard knowledge. According to that, a nine-inch throwing knife should weigh approximately nine ounces, and a sixteen-inch throwing knife should weigh approximately sixteen ounces. If a knife weighs too little, it will have low power and not enough hitting power. If it is too heavy, then it will be harder to throw since it is too slow and has a shorter range. Some old Ninja expert said a nice quote “A thrown knife should not fly like a feather or a rock, but like the beak of a hawk.”

At last we have another important thing, balance. It is determined by a throwing knife’s design. It is very much connected to the other two factors. One of the most perfect knives are the ones that can be thrown when you grab them by the blade as well as by the handle. The thing about them is that they are equally balanced on the center of the knife. You can test this out yourself by balancing the knife on the end of one finger to find the center of its gravity.

The first weapon Ninja has to master is a knife! That’s how they learn the knife art Tanto-jitsu. Ninjas also learn hand-to-hand combat and the art of throwing many objects, such as shurikens and knives. Not all knifes are made for throwing, so there are the types which are specifically made for that. A Ninja who masters the art of throwing knives is a lethal weapon himself. A Ninja usually carries four types of knives to throw. He carries a combat knife along with that for necessity.

Ninjas throw knives for three primary reasons: to distract attention, to attack, and to kill!

Even though all of there goals require hard work and dedication, especially the last one, a dedicated Ninja can make it possible.
To be able to achieve this through consistent practice, there should be at least ten knives available for the Ninja to practice with. You can find them at various online stores, like here or here.

There are two types of strength that every ninja works on: the inner and outer strength. The outer, physical strength is more obvious. It can be empowered by physical training, but with time it fades away as our body becomes older and weaker. The inner strength is subtle and cannot be perceived. Not only ninjas work on their inner strength, but every great man endeavors to improve it. The inner strength is by far more powerful but it must be developed with perpetual practice and study.

The life force of the universe is called Qi (Chi or Ki in Japenese) and it surrounds everything, it flows through, within and around all things. With practice it can be cultivated and collected to circulate within the body and then expressed in different ways on your will. People that know the true Qi are rare. The Qi cannot be described or put into words. It can only be experienced and this practice is called Kuji Kiri or Nine cuts.
As any path to enlightenment, its purpose is to show to the student his true face.

One can accomplish that with meditation. The meditation quiets the mind. Our perception of reality is filtered with our preconceptions and displayed on the pool of our mind. Thoughts running through our mind make the surface of the pool wavy and this block us from seeing the things as they really are. The purpose of the meditation is to calm the waters of this pool so we could see ourselves and the world more clearly.

The secret behind meditation is regular practice and patience. One should not rush with the meditation or expect immediate results. If practiced daily, progress would be visible.
Slowly, over time one could become aware of subtle sounds and movements, like his perception expanded, and a feeling of lightness.
It is best to practice meditation twice a day, early in the morning after one wakes up, and before going to bed. The place where you meditate should be quiet, dark, comfortable and there shouldn’t be any distractions.
The key to proper mediation is controlling your breathing. Breathe slowly and raise awareness over your breathing.
The purpose of this training is to calm the mind, raise awareness, improve oneself to be in the flow with the universe and heal your body.
Learn to meditate properly, by sitting quietly and listening to yourself breathe. This is one of the first steps in understanding the ninja’s mind powers.

Ashiko Ninja Foot Spikes are a nice addition to your ninja climbing gear. Together with Ninja Shuko Claws they are designed to assist you when climbing on different terrains, scaling and walking on ice or slippery land. Also, spikes on the claw can add a deadly spice to your high kick and assist you in self defense.
These foot claws are made of u-shaped metal with spikes and a cord to tie them on your shoes. They come in one size so check if they would fit your shoes before you buy them. They fit best with the ninja tabi boots, but you can also use them with regular shoes.

If you plan to buy them, first think for what would you use them for. In the old Japan they were very useful ninja tool.
In today’s world they have their limitations that modern ninjas should be aware of.
They are not a good choice for rock climbing because they can’t dig into hard stone like they would into softer elements. Also, when you have them on, you can forget about stealth if you are on a hard terrain. They are still helpful for walking on ice and slippery footing.

If you are a ninja enthusiasts you probably don’t mind these few limitations and you probably want to add them to your ninja gear collection and try them on.

So if you want to broaden your ninja gear collection check this climbing tool on amazon and other online stores.

If you have ninja boots you surely know that regular socks are not a good choice to go with them. What you need are the Ninja Socks with a split toe design that match the Ninja boots.
Although you will probably like the feeling that free toe gives you, keep in mind that it is slightly difficult to put them on quickly.
Except for that, there isn’t much philosophy about buying socks. There is just one thing I look at when buying any kind of socks – material. I prefer 100% cotton.

Like these: Tabi Socks, Black 2 Pairs

These tabi socks make a great training socks when worn with tabi boots, but they are also perfect for everyday use.
ps. You can also wear them with sandals

Ninja Tabi boots are the usual part of a ninja outfit. These ninja shoes are famous for their split toe design. Split toes enable a better grip of the ground. They give you a better control of your movements, provide comfort and stability. This is specially important for extreme conditions, climbing, stalking etc.

It feels natural to have our toes move freely, this improves our balance and adds comfort due to less strain and stress than with the normal footwear.
It can also help you when rope climbing and we know that ninjas use rope with grappling hook when climbing on buildings and tall objects.

If you already have a ninja uniform you should add the Ninja Tabi boots to complete your Ninja outfit.

Here are a few recommendations:

1. Rikio Fighter Black Jikatabi (Outdoor Tabi)

Check out the pros and cons from a review below.
Pro’s:
-Concealed pocket on the inside of each
-Fits quite nicely
-Cloth material is excellent
-Stitching is top notch
-Metal ribs are top notch

Con’s:
-Rubber used is rather weak, I would’ve suggested something a bit more sturdy
-Cloth loops to connect the metal ribs will come apart easily, you’ll most likely have to restitch.
-The glue is already starting to pull which means you’ll have to break out the hot glue gun every now and then.
