We focus on individual growth for each student. Everyone learns & grows at their own pace, so you'll have a lot of impact on how quickly you progress. :) Regardless of rank, as a dojo member, you'll learn practical & useful techniques for keeping yourself safe, from the time you start training.
Our art is very versatile & includes: Striking (punching, kicking, etc.), Grappling (like joint locks, holds & escapes), and Weapons, as well as non-physical aspects, like meditation. Weapons training is built into the art, not an add-on, & you'll learn to use various tools & weapons from the start.
That's a common myth, but not true. If you've studied another art, some aspects of that training may carry over & can be something to build from. If you haven't trained before, there are likely fewer habits to unlearn. :) Both cases can be good, depending on the individual student & their approach.
Good question. Many fakes are out there. :) Don't worry, this is genuine Ninjutsu. The martial arts we teach & study go back centuries. Our Chief Instructor is a direct student of the Grandmaster & has been training for 40+ years. Our dojo has also been recognized & vetted by the Japanese Consulate.
It is not at all the same thing. Some may 'borrow' the name Ninja, since it's cool & attracts students. Our school & art are 100% authentic, and we teach the genuine art of Ninjutsu. “Imitation is the highest form of flattery”, so we appreciate the compliment, but they aren't teaching Ninjutsu. :)
