Do you want to become and urban ninja? Part 1

ninja-girl2It might be fascinating to learn the art of this fascinating character. And I am not going to take the hope away from you. I will later create a small series on how people can train themselves to have some of the abilities a ninja possesses.

But keep in mind to not use or train any fighting with real people without having guidance. There might not be any ninja courses close to where you live; and maybe you should practice martial arts like karate or kick-boxing to learn how to hit or kick someone. However; you don’t need to master the discipline you start; only to master basic techniques.

To efficiently fight you should educate yourself in the human body; where to hit or kick to create as much pain as possible. You don’t want to become a master of fighting, only to create enough pain or diversions to get away from your opponent. It should not be your ultimate goal to become the strongest or best fighter. Your goals should always be to avoid fighting as in real life. There is no real benefit to be able to become a champion fighter; only to be able to survive if you are forced to fight.

After you have learned some basic martial arts you should consider investing time in learning to do magic and illusions. I think you can easily find both books and DVD’s everywhere on how to do simple magic and illusions. This might be really fun; and you might even learn some romantic performances. I am not sure if all of you reading this remember David Copperfield; but he had a nice performance called “the floating rose” where he transformed a piece of paper to a rose. It might charm ladies as well if you could perform. I know the secrets behind it; and it’s not difficult. Even you could do it! If you want to learn that particular performance you should get the DVD “Kevin James – the new floating rose”. Just in case you wondered; Kevin James created the performance; David Copperfield only borrowed the illusion with the permission of Kevin James.

The point of learning magic tricks and illusions isn’t to become a magician; but to understand human psychology. The truth is that ninjas, magicians, con artists and pocket thieves use the same understanding of the human mind, and how to create diversions to conceal their real agenda.
