Ninja Warrior

Divided into four extreme stages, 100 competitors face the ultimate test of strength and will in their quest to become champion. Many are called. Few are chosen. Who’s tough enough to become the next Ninja Warrior!

The show Ninja Warrior will be looking for their next Ninja Warrior this Saturday and Sunday August 29th and 30th.

What are the steps YOU should take to become the next NINJA WARRIOR?!

1) Grip – As we know ninjas need a lot of grip strength for scaling walls and climbing rope. Definitely hone your grip strength.

2) Speed – A lot of the tests are timed and in the battle field when you need to be stealthy you need to have speed.

3) Agility – Be limber, nimble, and agile! A ninjas ability to flip into and out of hiding along with their crazy ninjitsu and other martial arts training make them excellent spies and assassins! On the contest you will have to be able to jump side to side, up and down, left and right, and maintain a good sense of balance each part of the way.

4) Ninja! – Be a ninja. Think like a ninja. Act like a ninja! That is the only way you can be a true ninja warrior! The show Ninja Warrior brings out the determination and true strength in people by pushing you to your physical and mental limit!

NINJA VANISH!

The Warrior Spirit

The Warrior Spirit comes up
when a person has trained
in Martial Arts and has reached
a level where their attitude,
posture, body language, eyes,
mind and intent,
have transformed into
something different.
Something beyond the average person.

In the presence of one who has
the Warrior Spirit,
The ordinary person will feel a difference.

The stronger spirited one could easily overcome
The weaker spirited person just by a look.
But this is not the mean spirited look of popular films.

The stronger spirited one will lead the weaker one
Who will follow without hesitation. In trust.

The Warrior Spirit is compassionate.
It is impeccable.

The Warrior Spirit cannot be acted.
It happens naturally. It is not forced.

Each one on us has the Warrior Spirit,
But it is hidden.
We need to explore and reach into
Our deepest self to find it.

When a person has this spirit it shows.
To others it is indescribable.
They simply feel this person
Is different from others.

When you begin to understand this spirit,
you will be able to see the others who have it.

The warrior spirit is calm.

Facing danger without giving the opponent
The feeling of fear.
Its calmness is
Not disturbed under pressure.

The principle of “movement within stillness
And stillness within movement” is
The training of the Warrior Spirit.
