Dalton earned his white belt tonight. I hope other kids learn gratitude and humility being around this young man. He’s learning a lot, given his physical situation. We always strive to have training accessible to anyone who will give their best.

I often tell new students that this is a school of pain and hardship. Sure I try to make it fun, but only those who find the fun for themselves become great. And they are sometimes even kids, who can exist in nature with a smile, fight until they can’t move, recite with accuracy, synthesize information, act out a number of roles with authenticity, go without food, make peace during conflict, find common ground where there appears none, love the cold and wind and rain, to forage where others starve, and survive. That is what a ninja school teaches and that is what we are.

The Legacy of where our students have gone in our 28 years of operation in current form is extensive, and will generally be known by few.
