If you remain supernaturally suspicious of summer sleep away camps, consider joining me for a little ninja night school with the famous Ninja Dad dad who promises to teach you the power of invisibility in five easy-ish steps.
British ninja Dad Ken Andre teaches his own ninja style around the world both online and in-person and has been featured on many popular television shows.
Andre is famous for many things – from inventing his own personal brand of Ninja training inspired by a popular Asian demon, Tengu-jutsu, to his unparalleled mastery of the whisper-shout to his unshakeable belief that most if not all words beginning with the letter S Should be capitalized.
But the one thing that interests me above all others at this point in my quest to hunt the Shadow Hunters Sue and Tim, is of course the power of the Shadow AKA the power of invisibility. I figure one night class with Ken is all that I will need to sneak up on those sneaky Shadow seekers. Here is what Ninja Dad promises to teach me:
Tengujutsu Five Step Plan To Invisibility
1. Approach a well-lit area
Okay well this is starting to sound more complicated than I first hoped…
“Approaching a well-lit area actually helps conceal you within your environment,” says Ninja dad mysteriously here on his website.
2. Use your five senses and sixth sense locked with the seventh Presence to visualize with feelings the end result.
I’m going to have a couple of questions about the seventh Presence. Is this the Tengu part? Anyway the rest of it seems clear enough…
“Pick a goal point in the distance and possible shadowed steps along your path,” Andrew says. “Don’t think about the what if or the hows.”
3. Move towards your next concealment point within a Shadow while remaining aware and focused on intuition and your environment.
Andre advises using your environment to break up your shape with shadows,making sure that you maximize your belief and confidence along the way.
4. Move with the sound of the elements.
Now this is some really sound advice….
Andre advises you to move with the natural sounds like the wind, waves or the barking of dogs over human sounds which actually draw rather than divert attention.
5. Remain in the present moment*
Ninja dad says most people walk around in the past or the future, completely ignoring the present moment. As a ninja, you will learn to master the art of remaining in the present moment and thus being invisible to all.
*Unless you are a time traveller in which case, just jump to the time and place you want to inhabit…
I’m signing up for one of his night classes right now. If his teaching is as good as I think, here’s hoping to NOT see you there!
And if I don’t not see you there, maybe I’ll see you in Texas, on June 26, 27 and 28th where I promise to be practicing the 7th Presence and remaining fully visible in the moment at the awesome Austin Webfest.

I practiced ninjutsu with grandmaster Shinigami Ryume
It’s a requirement of all grim agents to take the corse for at least 1 year.
*sighs*
Reaper however dropped out of the academy after 3 months
Somehow they let him join corps…
I’m still tring to figure that one out…
RB
I’ll have you know, I am a shinigami, and have trained in martial arts far better than Ninjutsu young Noah.
😎
don’t try that, you’re just embarrassed that your a drop out…
Ha, you don’t even have a diploma from the academy!
*nags , “drop out, drop out”*
*points scythe at reaper*
Thats got me thinking, if you don’t get your diploma by the next trimester, I’m technically more qualified for the job as shimigami as i was one once before
*smiles*
and that means i get the soul back…
RB
Actually, it just means I have more ambition than you, and that your a convict in the Reaper community now. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to pull the wanted sign away. Oh, never mind.
EX-Convict
All I was ever accused of was…
well…
it was all a plot concocted by my cat to ruin my reputation…
also, they want to put me into an asylum for The criminally insane…
but there accusations are entirely false!
RB
*Pulls out a scroll that winds from Seattle to mexico* Slaying the human race, twice. Using reaper powers to kill the Shinigami Kamikuzikii, Using Shinigami powers to attempt to take over the underworld, using reaper powers to buy a sandiwich, destroying the enviroment… Shall I go on?
In my defense!
I didn’t do it…
*mumbles something about how it wasn’t even a good sandwich*
RB
Why are you mumbling about a terrible sandwich? Oh and I can present that your guilty on most accounts on that list, or at least the ones that he has so far said
It was my cat…
*eyes dart to peneleope sitting in the corner*
*whispers*
She’s evil incarnate…
RB
Last time I checked, cats as a species ARE evil incarnate.
Eris, Noah asked for you. Oh and Noah stop blaming the cat for what you did it’s not nice
*rolls eyes* I’m not mentally stable right now and I know you’re not mentally stable. *eyes flicker yellow*
That awesome moment when you remember that soul collectors don’t need to know how to fight because the only people they would need to are helping collect the souls of the other people in the area, then you remember you dropped out of school to do the job even earlier and less knowledgeable about it
Demons hatter, demons.
They are the pests that will try to devour the souls before we can get to them!
That’s what we are trained to fight…
RB
Ok that makes sense
Hail Agent R.B.
While I doubt the survival wisdom of baiting Reaper, thanks for keeping on. What does your ninja training teach about Shadow techniques? Are they similar to these taught by Tengujutsu? Also any idea about this 7th Presence business?

There is a rift, seth, right down the middle of the world, all worlds. It’s a place of secrets and a place of truth. And best of all, the rift pierces right through your head, all of our heads. It’s why we can perceive each other and, for the most part, don’t fall into the insanity of our own minds. If you disconnect yourself from your own rift and reconnect to the planet’s rift, people won’t preceive you. But be wary, to long in the worlds rift, you will be revealed the secrets of all things, but in the process you will become part of this world forever!
RB
The cat is blaming ME! 👿
RB
Ok no need to snap Noah I was just messing about, I mean hey it’s not that bad Noah at least wait never mind you actually did do that
Chaos incarnate here
Whats up peeps~
Nothing Eris you can go home, your three days late for when it would have been funny
Those damned tengu…the only things that you need to know about tengu is that they are self-centered,thumb-up-asshole cheapskates that never repay their debts…nothing good comes from being around tengu. Those damn bassturds
I misspelled bastard on purpose
The ones you really want to be around are the katana-kami. These are guardian spirits of certain katana. They can be created by onmyoji and necromancers such as my self. The imbuing process entails the use of blood so it’s not really popular amongst younger onmyoji.the one in my sword is my old flame,kuroyuki she died in an accident when we were still dating but she still has one heck of a bod!!!!!! Rawr…..
