Through Ninja Kids, I aim to make each child self-assured, capable of making decisions and get stronger in order to face problems in life. Ninpou as an educational tool provides more than discipline, knowledge and physical skills. Ninpou comes from the Ninja, Ninpou goes beyond physical and mental skills.
Through following this curriculum which is specially adapted for home study, I try to provide students (both parents / instructors and children) with a 1st degree Black Belt level (shodan).
WHO IS IT FOR? Anyone who wants to study Ninpo in their own house, parks, … at their own pace and rhythm. It is mainly meant for homeschooling kids and am now working to provide some type of official recognition in the US by educational authorities, will provide a Black Belt certificate from my dojo after the full curriculum is covered and tests are passed ( anywhere from 2 to 5 years ).
I mainly value individuality, Freedom and Justice. Speak 4 languages, have lived in 5 countries and see life from a different (not better / not worst) perspective than most people, not only because of my International experience but also because of the life I've lived so far. I share that of my knowledge and experience which I believe may be useful to you – quality before quantity.
WHAT IS IT? Bujinkan Dojo Ninpou or as many know it, 'Ninjutsu' is based on 980 years of direct uninterrupted warrior heritage – it is not a sport. What I do, say and teach is my own interpretation of this historic legacy. We don't compete but rather better our general skills by self-improvement, not only at a physical level but also in mind and spirit. I don't teach any dangerous stuff but do teach self-defense, though for kids lessons I mainly focus on fun – when kids are happy they learn faster and better.
IMPORTANT: By no means do I want to generate violent or aggressive kids by teaching them true martial arts. Discipline, punishment, and screams are not part of my play book. Motivation to be decent, reliant and courageous young men or young women are part of the base of the essence of my teaching ideals. Discipline, obligation, and respect are taught through example and in ways that the student find logical, reasonable and are given reasons on why. Imposing by saying 'because I said so …' or because 'I am your teacher … ' don't [really] work on most kids.
True Martial [Military] Arts and a good, decent, God-Loving instructor (man or woman) help shape not only the body but also the mind and the spirit of an individual without losing their true essence. We define as a superior warrior one that not only is swift and skillful in combat but one with a good heart who also knows how to live an everyday life with joy, decency and martial spirit.
Homeschooling has become the fastest-growing mainstream education in the US and other nations around the world, such as: France, Japan, the UK, South Korea and several other countries. There is an annual homeschooling growth rate of 2%-8%. However, there has been a significant increase in those figures from 2019 to 2021. By the end of 2020, about 9 million Americans said they had attended homeschool at some point in their lives. The current number I last saw was 5,000,000 kids being homeschooled in the U.S.
There are numerous reasons why families opt for homeschooling, such as the lack of their children’s progress in traditional schooling, the difference in religious and educational philosophies, lack of satisfaction with the traditional educational methods, etc. Amid the radical Left turn that the Obama Admin. Took, many concerned Americans started reacting to these insane measures and responses like the Tea Party were born. Homeschooling today is rapidly growing at a very fast pace due to the grooming / perversion via LGBT as well as the implementation of CRT and SEL in schools.
There is still a majority of Americans who are Christian and public schools as well as many if not most private schools opt for woke nonsense in search for public money, a truce with commie School boards, teacher's unions. The radicalization of Education is not only present in America, it is now a part of most Europeans nations. Many times, due to all this as well as other factors, many parents opt for homeschooling.
When homeschooling is well planned and organized, besides providing children scope for socialization, then it results in effective outcomes. It helps students focus on the career which interests them by preparing them for college by including extension courses. It becomes a well-rounded education that is highly effective when the homeschooled students get the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, community sports, and community service groups.
HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS GRADUATED from COLLEGE AT A RATE OF 66.7%, A study led by Michael Cogan by the University of St. Thomas revealed that the homeschool graduation statistics is 10% higher than that of students from public schools.
HOMESCHOOLERS SCORE 15%-30% MORE THAN STUDENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE STANDARDIZED ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT EXAMS. This is in line with reports from The National Home Education Research Institute in 2015. It shows that irrespective of the parent’s educational level and financial level, homeschoolers can score well.
