About Ninja SA Training

As times have changed the style has too, for example we are not going to fight a Samurai with a katana, but rather a mugger with a gun or knife. We teach the style through a carefully developed method of teaching. You will progress through the nine steps of training to achieve your first Dan black belt. In training with Ninja SA you will experience various elements such as martial defensive techniques, body conditioning, mental focus, reflex development, striking power development, tactical alertness, survival awareness, weapons techniques and much more!

Ninja SA Study Groups

Ninja SA introduced its first study group early in 2009. The initial concept was a distance learning DVD package that was designed for individuals to learn the art in areas that we did not have a dojo. We found the interest was so great that it would be beneficial to connect our distance learning students and form an officially supported study group system. In doing this we found we could get more information and training material across to the study group leader who in turn shares it with the rest of the group as a result to this, we have the ability to send out senior Ninja SA instructors to the study groups for full weekend training and formal grading. This in turn develops better practitioners of the art. We are very proud of what our study groups have achieved and look forward to every visit we will make to them in the future. We currently have various groups all around South Africa and welcome those who are interested to visit them and join the classes. If you have any questions about this method of training please contact Sensei David Field on ninja@ninja.co.za

The nine steps of training

As you join Ninja SA the first three levels are basic training; these levels form the fundamentals of this dynamic style. Following the first levels are the honing stages, a more advanced tool box of combat techniques are attached to the system. You will learn to combat a variety of situations using the flow of this art. It is in no way a static art, so you will not be defending preset “acted” attacks. This is a real martial system; unlike sport arts we simulate real life as close as we can. Once the Ninjitsu practitioner has passed the empty hand combat stage, weapons are added to the training. The weapon system fits directly onto the empty hand system working as an extension of the body. When each weapon is mastered you move onto the next weapon discipline. As this is an art you never stop learning meaning that every training session you will acquire new ideas and techniques irrespective on your years of experience or level. Ninjitsu is a dynamic and powerful tool for self development, through training you will find that you will handle the stress and strains of everyday life better and develop internally and externally.
