Become a Ninja in the Urban City- Seattle

-620689578

You live in an apartment in a city and watch the cartoon network in your bed from Ikea. Couldn't you be out doing something more at night? In the darkness? Climbing water towers or hiding in the shadows, perhaps?

Frank Dux

The film “Blood Sport” was modeled after the memoirs of Frank Dux. Dux has been involved in multiple losing lawsuits where he has tried to get more money related to property rights. Discrepancies in particular details of his life stories and credentials have also circulated around his claims.

He had 2 Ninjitsu academies in the 90’s. One of them was in the Seattle area but I have had some trouble confirming exactly where and if there are remnants and off shoots of his form of Ninjitsu.

Just because you want to be a ninja doesn’t mean that you should be a ninja…
What am I talking about? Of course it does. Anyway, here’s another guide.

I had a copy of this book once and I used my newly read about mind control techniques to make a girl purchase and eat a bagel in the cab building at The Evergreen State College in Olympia. I can’t recall exactly what type of bagel it was, but that was the moment I realized that the power may be too great.

Arrive at the giant wooden gate and go over it at night. The Woodland Park Zoo is the ultimate in varied terrain in an urban city and you have to be versatile in this ninja game. Brave the shifting elements and wildlife within.

Test your skills against a rhino. You’ll only get better by going against stronger adversaries. Remember, we don’t hurt the animals, we just wrestle them for training purposes.

Dux Ryu (?)

239 SW 152nd St. BURIEN, WA 98166

Frank Dux’s site has a listing for this dojo but the site doesn’t look up to date. Michael Cairns is listed as the Shihan and it states that he is “Dux Ninjitsu Certified”. The location is a little bit outside of the city but, If you go there and it doesn’t look like a training facility but appears to be something along the lines of a Children’s Hospital Thriftstore, that may be because it doesn’t exist anymore. My suggestion, however, would be to start climbing the walls and pulling off some flying kicks. If they are in fact Ninjas, they may be employing some illusion tactics.

Make a Ninja Mask from a T-Shirt

We used to make these when we were kids. I know, it is pretty amazing that we were able to pull off this type of construction without endless Youtube instructional videos.

But oh, How to Kill a Ninja!

I found this doing a web search on Michael Cairns. He is also a very good kickboxing/full contact karate instructor. He is one of the pioneers of kickboxing/muay thai in WA state and I had the pleasure of briefly training with him. I never did the dux ryu and most people that did it were wannabe ninja that watched too much anime. I probably would have trained in that too if it weren’t for the wannabe ninja students. I believe Zura Goodpastor is still teaching near that address or around Burien.but he is garbage.
