THIS WILL BE A SERIES WRITTEN EVERY SO OFTEN TO INFORM YOU FUTURE NINJAS
OR
KILLERS OUT THERE. I WILL WRITE A SERIES OF PHILES ON THE SECRETS OF THE
NINJA. THIS IS NO BULLSHIT YOU SEE IN THE BOOKS IN YOUR LOCAL MARTIAL
ARTS
STORE. THIS IS THE REAL SHIT. DON'T ABUSE YOUR POWERS.
***WARNING***
IF YOU FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN ANY OF THE SERIES AND YOU DO HARM
SOMEONE BAD
I WILL TAKE NO BLAME FOR IT. PLEASE DON'T INTEND TO USE THESE TRICKS AS A
CHILDISH JOKE. SOME OF THE THINGS I MIGHT WRITE MAY BE VERY
HARMFUL...MOST
LIKELY DEADLY.
BACKGROUND
---------I WAS BORN IN JAPAN, RAISED AND TAUGHT THE ART OF NINJUTSU FROM MY
FAMILY.
I IMMIGRATED TO THE U.S. AND BECAME A U.S. CITIZEN. I'VE BEEN STUDYING
THE ART FOR OVER 15 YEARS NOW. I AM REVEALING SOME OF THE SECRETS TO
YOU
SINCE MANY PEOPLE ARE WRITING BULLSHIT TO PLEASE THE KIDS, AND ALL THAT
BULL MAKES ME MAD. IT SEEMS LIKE THE BOOKS CAN SOMETIMES DEGRADE US,
THE
PRESENT NINJAS.
POISON
-----THERE WERE MANY TYPES OF POISON USED IN THE OLD DAYS IN JAPAN. MOST OF
THE
POISON WAS MADE AT HOME WITH PLANTS, HERBS, AND OTHER INGREDIENTS
OBTAINABLE
VERY EASILY. IN THIS SERIES I WILL DISCUSS A CERTAIN TYPE OF POISON WHICH
HAS A DELAYING DEATH EFFECT.
WARNING

------THIS POISON IS DEADLY. I KNOW SOMEONE IN MY CLAN WHO HAS USED THIS TYPE
OF
POISON TO KILL A PHEW PEOPLE. IT WORKED FOR A WHILE BUT EVENTUALLY HE
WAS
CAUGHT. HE IS IN JAIL FOR A LIFE SENTENCE FOR MURDER.
========
POISON
========
THIS POISON WILL KILL THE AFFECTED VICTIM WITHIN A WEEK. THE REASON FOR
THE
TIME DELAY IS THAT THE POISON CAUSES THE VICTIM TO GET TETANUS. THIS
PROCESS
CAN BE FATAL, SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL IN USING THIS POISON.
THE POISON IS FAIRLY SIMPLE TO MAKE. USING IT TO KILL SOMEONE IS
SOMEWHAT
COMPLICATING.
THIS IS AN INFECTIOUS POISON SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T ANY CUTS ON YOUR
HANDS
WHEN PREPARING THE POISON.
INGREDIENTS:
HORSE SHIT (EXTRACTED)
HUMAN BLOOD (TYPE DEPENDS ON VICTIM)
YOU CAN GET HORSE SHIT FROM MOST ANYWHERE NOWADAYS SINCE THERE ARE
COPS WITH
HORSES NOWADAYS. JUST WALK AROUND WHERE YOU KNOW HORSES PASS BY,
AND GET A
SMALL QUANTITY OF HORSE SHIT. DON'T GET A LOT CAUSE THAT SHIT STINKS.
TAKE SOME HORSE SHIT PUT IT IN A TEST TUBE AND PUT A RUBBER STOPPER ON
TOP.
ONCE YOU OBTAIN THE HORSE SHIT, YOU MUST EXTRACT THE NECESSARY PART OF
THE
SHIT.
YOU MUST REMOVE ALL THE HAY AND OTHER GARBAGE IN THE HORSE SHIT. YOU
CAN
REMOVE THE RUBBER STOPPER AND HEAT THE SHIT OVER A LIGHT FLAME. THE
SHIT
SHOULD START TO MELT AND THE JUNK IS EXTRACTED OUT OF THE SHIT.
WHEN THE SHIT MELTS, DUMP IT ON SOME KIND OF FILTERING SYSTEM SO YOU
CAN
REMOVE THE JUNK. REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL MOST, IF POSSIBLE, ALL OF THE
JUNK IS REMOVED. !!! CAUTION !!! THIS PROCESS STINKS UP THE WHOLE FUCKING
HOUSE SO DO IT OUT SIDE.

WHEN THE SHIT IS EXTRACTED, YOU MUST OBTAIN THE HUMAN BLOOD. THE TYPE
OF
BLOOD IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
FOR EXAMPLE...IF YOU WANT TO KILL THE VICTIM, YOU MUST USE THE BLOOD
TYPE
WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE VICTIM: BLOOD TYPE A POS. NEEDS AN A POS.
BLOOD IN
THE POISON, AND SO FORTH.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INTENDED VICTIMS BLOOD TYPE IS, THAT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN USE OTHER BLOOD TYPES AND MIX THEM LIKE TRANSFUSIONS OF
BLOOD. BUT
THE EFFECT OF THE POISON MAY BE DELAYED OR IT MAY NOT BE FATAL. BUT IT
SHOULD DO THE TRICK.
GET THE EXTRACTED HORSE SHIT AND MIX THE SHIT WITH THE BLOOD. THE
PROPORTION
OF THE BLOOD WITH RESPECT TO THE SHIT IS 3 TO 1, WHICH MEANS FOR EVERY 1
OZ.
OF SHIT, THERE MUST BE 3 OZ. OF BLOOD, AND SO FORTH.
HEAT THE MIXTURE AT A VERY LOW HEAT, AND THE MIXTURE SHOULD START
BUBBLING.
TRY NOT TO INHALE THE SMELL. IT'S KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IF YOU SMELL IT.
DO NOT HEAT IT WITH A HIGH FLAME, SINCE THE BACTERIA IN THE SHIT AND THE
BLOOD WILL DIE AND THE POISON WILL BECOME USELESS.
HEAT THE TEST TUBE AND STIR THE CONTENT WHILE HEATING TO CREATE A
BETTER
MIXTURE. WHEN THE CONTENT STARTS TO CHANGE COLORS FROM RED TO BRICK
BROWN OR
REDDISH-BROWN, THEN REMOVE THE MIXTURE FROM THE FLAME. ALLOW THE
POISON TO
COOL OFF.
WHEN THE POISON COOLS OFF, THEN YOU'VE JUST MADE ONE OF THE DEADLIEST
POISONS
AROUND.
THIS IS NOT A TYPE OF POISON WHICH YOU CAN JUST SPILL ON THE VICTIM, NOR IS
IT ONE THAT YOU CAN JUST PUT INTO SOMEONES FOOD. IT HAS TO ENTER THE
VICTIM'S
BLOOD STREAMS. TO DO THAT YOU MUST USE A NEEDLE OR A KNIFE TO RUPTURE
THE
SKIN IN SOME WAY IN ORDER FOR THE POISON TO WORK.
THE NINJA IN THE OLDEN DAYS USED WHAT WAS CALLED FUKIYA AND FUKIBARI.
THE
FUKIYA IS A BLOWGUN MADE OF BAMBOO AND THE FUKIBARI WAS THE DART
BLOWN OUT

OF THE BLOWGUN. WE DIPPED THE DARTS IN THIS POISON, THEN BLEW THE DART
OUT
OF THE GUN IMMEDIATELY. WE USUALLY STRUCK THE VICTIM AT PRESSURE
POINTS
WHICH MADE THE VICTIM PASS OUT. WHEN THE VICTIM PASSED OUT, WE
REMOVED THE
DART AND LEFT THE SCENE. THE PERSON AWAKENS WITH TETANUS, AND DIES
WITHIN A
PHEW DAYS, NO LONGER THAN A WEEK. ANOTHER MURDER WITHOUT A TRACE.
WHAT CAN BE DONE IN MODERN TIMES IS GET A NEEDLE DIPPED WITH THE STUFF
AND
JUST POKE THE VICTIM. MOST LIKELY THE VICTIM THINKS YOUR CRAZY AND
CONTINUE
TO FIGHT YOU. IF THE POISON ENTERED HIS BLOOD STREAM, HE WILL GET
TETANUS.
WHEN AND IF HE FINDS OUT THAT HE HAS TETANUS, AND GETS A PENICILLIN SHOT
OR
SOMETHING, HE WILL LIVE. BUT IF HE FINDS OUT TOO LATE OR DOESN'T FIND OUT
AT ALL, HE WILL DIE.
THERE ARE MANY OTHER WAYS OF GETTING THE POISON INTO THE VICTIM'S
BLOOD
STREAM. YOU WANTING TO BECOME THE TRUE NINJA CAN TRY MANY WAYS TO
KILL
WITHOUT A TRACE. I HOPE YOU WILL NEVER USE IT AS A JOKE. BE VERY CAREFUL
NOT TO GET THE POISON INTO YOUR BLOOD STREAM.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
DATED: 01-05-1985
PLEASE DO NOT ALTER THIS PHILE IN ANY WAY. I WANT THIS PHILE TO BE
COMPLETE
AND STAY COMPLETE AS IT IS OFFERED TO MANY PEOPLE. YOU MAY SHARE THIS
PHILE
WITH ANYONE AND EVERYONE. BUT THE BEST WAY IS TO KEEP THE SECRETS
WITHIN
YOURSELF.

THIS IS THE THIRD OF THE NINJA009 SERIES. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE FIRST TWO
BULLETINS AND I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS ONE AS WELL...
***WARNING***
IN CALIFORNIA, THERE IS A LAW THAT PROHIBITS SHURIKENS. IF YOU GET
CAUGHT
CONCEALING ONE IN YOUR POCKET OR ANYWHERE ELSE ON YOUR BODY IN THE
STREETS,
YOU WILL BE CAUGHT AND THE OBJECT WILL BE CONFISCATED. IF YOU ARE OVER
18
YEARS OF AGE, YOU CAN BE FINED AND SENTENCED A FEW MONTHS IN JAIL. SO
DON'T
BE STUPID ABOUT THINGS. DON'T SHOW OFF WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
BACKGROUND ON SHURIKENS:
-----------------------THE SHURIKEN OR THE THROWING STAR HAS MAINLY ONE PURPOSE TO THE NINJA.
A
DISTRACTION FOR ESCAPE, MUCH LIKE THE SMOKE SCREEN. THE NINJAS IN THE
OLD
DAYS, USED THE STAR TO CREATE A DELUSION. THE NINJA WOULD THROW THE
STAR
IN A DIRECTION WHICH MADE A SOUND IN A TOTALLY WRONG DIRECTION SO HIS
OPPONENT WILL BE SEARCHING YOU IN THE WRONG PLACES, THEREFORE YOU CAN
ESCAPE.
IN MODERN MOVIES, I HAVE SEEN THEM USE IT TO KILL AN OPPONENT. AS I HAVE
LEARNED FROM MY GRAND MASTER, THE SHURIKEN IS NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH
TO KILL
MOST LIKELY, YOU CAN ONLY DAMAGE THE PERSON HIT BY THE SHURIKEN.
THEREFORE
IT IS ONLY USED AS A DISTRACTION DEVICE. BUT, KNOW AS A FACT THAT SOME
NINJAS, ONLY A VERY FEW, WERE EXPERTS ON SHURIKEN THROWING AND WERE
ABLE TO
KILL WITH IT. THERE WERE EXACTLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF JAPAN WHO
CAN
PROPERLY THROW A SHURIKEN. THEY WERE AROUND IN THE 1500-1700 A.D. I
KNOW
THAT THERE IS NO ONE IN THIS WORLD, NOW, WHO CAN THROW A SHURIKEN AND
ACTUAL-

LY KILL ANOTHER TRAINED NINJA. MOST MODERN NINJA HAS THE KEEN HEARING
ABILITIES AS THE OLD NINJA, SO THEY CAN HEAR THE SHURIKEN CUT THE WIND. SO
THEY
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT CAME FROM, AND AROUND HOW FAR AWAY IT WAS
THROWN. I
DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEACH METHODS OF HEARING BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST IN
MY LATER
SERIES. WELL...ANYWAYS...
SHURIKEN
-------THE OLD WAY OF BUILDING THIS WEAPON IS A VERY COMPLICATED TASK. FIRST
YOU
MUST BUILD A LIMESTONE FURNACE, WHICH TAKES ABOUT TWO MONTHS. THEN,
YOU CAN
START BUILDING YOUR WEAPONS. YOU MUST ALSO KNOW HOW TO FORGE THE
WEAPON.
THEREFORE, I CANNOT REALLY TEACH YOU HOW TO MAKE IT THE OLD WAY. BUT
LATER ON
IN THE SERIES I SHALL TEACH YOU HOW TO BUILD A FURNACE AND HOW TO BUILD
WEAPONS
THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. BUT THIS TEXT WILL TEACH YOU A SIMPLE BUT
EFFECTIVE
METHOD OF BUILDING AND SHARPENING ONE.
----------------------MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
----------------------- A SHEET METAL OF AT LEAST 3/16" THICKNESS.
- A HACKSAW OR SOME OTHER CUTTING DEVICE.
- A SHARPENING STONE, HARD ( NOT SOFT ARKANSAS ).
- A STEEL MALLET ( A HAMMER SHOULD DO ).
- A VISE
- AN ANVIL OR SOME OTHER FLAT METAL SURFACE.
-------------HOW TO MAKE IT
-------------IT IS QUITE SIMPLE THE MODERN WAY, IT ONLY TAKES A FEW HOURS AT MOST.
FIRST,
YOU MUST DRAW THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF SHURIKEN YOU WANT ON A PIEC OF
PAPER.
AFTER YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR DESIRED SHAPE, DRAW IT ONTO THE METAL WITH
AN AWL
OR SCREWDRIVER. THEN, CLAMP THE SHEET METAL ONTO THE VISE. CAREFULLY
CUT
OUT THE SHUIKEN. SOMETIMES IF YOU USE THICK SHEET METAL WITH A
HACKSAW, THE
SAW BLADE TENDS TO GET WARM AND SOMETIMES START TO WARP, SO APPLY

SOME KIND
OF LUBRICANT OIL AND IT SHOULD REDUCE THE FRICTION THAT CAUSE THE HEAT.
AFTER
YOU CUT OUT THE SHURIKEN, THEN YOU MUST START MAKING THE EDGES SHARP.
START
HAMMERING DOWN THE POINTS OF THE SHURIKEN. AFTER A FEW POUNDINGS, THE
POINTS
SHOULD BE A BIT FLATTER THAN THE CENTER OF THE SHURIKEN. THEN START
WORKING
ON THE SIDES OF THE POINTS. BUT REMEMBER NOT TO GO TO DEEP INTO THE
CENTER OF
THE SHURIKEN SINCE THE CENTER SHOULD BE THE SAME THICKNESS AS YOU
STARTED WITH.
AFTER YOU START SEEING THE EDGES BECOMING GROUNDED, THEN STOP THE
POUNDING.
GET THE SHARPENING STONE. AT FIRST JUST GRIND THE SHURIKEN IN A CIRCULAR
MOTION NEAR THE TIPS OF THE POINTS. AS YOU BEGIN FEELING THE POINTS
SHARPEN,
WORK ON THE SIDES. KEEP WORKING ON GRINDING THE STEEL, UNTIL AN EDGE
BEGINS
TO FORM. MAKE SURE YOU SHARPEN BOTH SIDES EVENLY. WHEN THE EDGE
BEGINS TO
FORM, THEN YOU MUST SHARPEN THE SHURIKEN WITH CAREFUL STROKES. YOU
MUST NOT
FORCE THE SHURIKEN TO SHARPEN. YOU MUST STROKE THE SHURIKEN
BACKWARDS. NEVER
PUSH IT FORWARDS TO SHARPEN IT OR YOU'LL LOSE IT'S EDGE AS YOU TRY TO
DEVELOP
IT. STROKE IT BACK FOR A WHILE, UNTIL THE POINTS BEGIN TO GLARE. AFTER AN
HOUR OF STROKING, THE BLADE SHOULD BE COMPLETE. WHEN YOU FIRST TRY TO
BUILD
THIS THING, YOU MIGHT NOT GET A WELL BALANCED SHURIKEN. AS A MATTER OF
FACT,
WHEN I BUILT ONE THIS WAY, IT TOOK ME TEN TRIAL SHURIKENS BEFORE I GOT A
DESCENTLY BALANCED ONE. ALL IT TAKES IS PRACTICE. YOU ALL PROBABLY
KNOW THAT
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
------------------THROWING TECHNIQUES
------------------I CAN WRITE A WHOLE BOOK IN TEACHING HOW TO THROW THIS THING. I WILL
TEACH THE
BASIC METHOD OF THROWING THIS TOOL. GRIP ONE OF THE POINTS WITH YOUR
THUMB &
YOUR FORE AND MIDDLE FINGERS. TO AIM IT TO THE DESIRED OBJECT, LOOK AT
THE
REST OF THE SHURIKEN THAT IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR GRIP. THE HALF POINT
FROM THE
TOP TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR VISUAL POINT, IS WHERE THE TARGET SHOULD BE
FOCUSED
AT. WHEN YOU RELEASE IT, SNAP THE SHURIKEN WITH YOUR MIDDLE FINGER. IF

THE
SHURIKEN FLYS VERTICAL WITHOUT ROTATING HORIZONTALLY, THEN YOUR
SHURIKEN IS
FAIRLY BALANCED. PRACTICE THROWING THE SHURIKEN EVERYDAY, YOU CAN
FIGURE OUT
OTHER COMFORTABLE METHODS OF THROWING AND HITTING THE TARGET. HAVE
FUN...

THIS IS THE FOURTH OF THE NINJA009 SERIES. I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THE FIRST
THREE BULLETINS AND I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS ONE AS WELL...
BACKGROUND ON CLIMBING TECHNIQUES:
---------------------------------MAY RUMORS HAVE BEEN SAID THAT NINJA'S CAN FLY OR THEY CAN CLIMB FLAT,
VERTICAL WALLS, WITH NO SWEAT...BULLSHIT...I, PERSONALLY HAVE A HELL OF A
WORK OUT WHEN I CLIMB WALLS, SOME TIMES I STAY STUCK TO A WALL FOR OVER
AN HOUR JUST TO GET SOME REST. THE ANCIENT NINJA'S USED A VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED TOOL CALLED THE TEKAGI (HAND CLAWS), AND THE ASHIKO
(LITERALLY
TRANSLATED, FOOT CLAWS, LIKE ON CATS.). THE ONES YOU SEE IN THOSE MAIL
ORDER SHITS, ARE VERY FRAGILE AND WEAK...I HAVE TESTED OVER TWENTY
DIFFERENT
ONES, THEY ALL BROKE AFTER THE SECOND OR THE THIRD CLIMB. BUT I'LL TELL
YOU ONE THING, THEY ARE HELLA GOOD FOR FIGHTING...AS A MATTER OF FACT, I
KNOW
THIS GUY, ONE OF MY BROTHERS OF THE CLAN, KILLED AN ASSAULTANT WITH IT.
THE ASSULTANT HAD A GUN AND HE JUST SLASHED HIS HAND APART, HE BLED TO
DEATH.
ANYWAYS...ENUFF OF THIS BORING STUFF.
I WON'T TELL YOU HOW TO MAKE A WELL, CONSTRUCTED TEKAGI OR ASHIKO,
SINCE I
MYSELF STILL CANNOT MAKE IT PERFECTLY...WHICH KINDA MEANS SOMETHING.
THE RULES OF WEAPONS IN THE NINJUTSU SYSTEM IS THAT, IF YOU CANNOT BUILD
IT YOU CANNOT USE IT. AS MY MASTER SAYS.
CLIMBING A WALL THAT IS FLAT AND VERTICAL
----------------------------------------HA! HA! YOU SAY...IMPOSSIBLE TO THE CORE...YOU SAY...
WELL...IF YOU ARE WELL TRAINED, YOU CAN CLIMB A FLAT WALL AS HIGH AS
20 FEET. ONE OF MY BROTHERS OF THE CLAN CAN DO IT. I CAN ONLY GET UP
ABOUT 15 FEET.
ALL IT TAKES IS PRACTICE, WHICH I REALLY DON'T DO ANYMORE.
TO BE PHYSICALLY FIT FOR THIS, YOU SHOUD DO THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES.
*** WARNING ***
DON'T TRY ANYTHING THAT MAY HARM YOUR HEALTH OR YOUR LIFE.
DON'T OVER-EXERCISE YOURSELF...I'LL GUARANTEE YOU'LL GET BOARD OF IT.

***************
JUMP AS HIGH AS YOU CAN REPEATEDLY ( START AT 10 TIMES A DAY )
( WORK UP TO 50 TIMES.... )
STRETCH YOUR LEGS AFTERWARDS
- DO FRONT SPLITS ON YOUR RIGHT ( YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ALL )
- DO FRONT SPLITS ON YOUR LEFT ( THE WAY DOWN ON THE SPLITS )
- DO SIDE SPLITS
( IT'LL GO DOWN EVENTUALLY.. )
OKAY AFTER YOUR EXERCISE, DRILL THE FOLLOWING 10 TIMES...NO MORE THAN
10...
YOU'LL FIND OUT WHY...
- LOOK FOR A WALL ABOUT 5 FEET ABOVE YOUR OWN HEIGHT. MAKE SURE IT IS A
STURDY WALL...
- RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO THE WALL AND START CLIMBING. AS YOU CLIMB,
PUT YOUR BODY AS CLOSE TO THE WALL AS POSSIBLE.
- AT YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT AT THIS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO STEP TWO TIMES ON
THE WALL AND SLIP AND DROP TO THE GROUND.
- JUST TUCK YOUR BODY AS SOON AS YOU MAKE YOUR FIRST STEP ON THE WALL.
THEN YOUR OTHER STEPS WILL BECOME NATURAL.
- YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU ARE LOSING THE GRIP ON THE WALL, THAT IS WHEN
YOU REACH FOR THE TOP.
- AS YOU REACH FOR THE TOP, PUSH UP OFF THE WALL.
- YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GRAB THE TOP.
- IF YOU GET TO THIS POINT OF HANGING AT THE EDGE OF THE TOP OF THE WALL,
THEN CONSIDER YOURSELF ALREADY UP.
- NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS USE THE ELBOW LOCK SYSTEM TO CLIMB UP TO
THE
TOP, OR YOU CAN KIP UP.
- ( KIPPING UP ) - AS YOU HANG, PULL YOUR LEGS UP AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE.
REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR LEGS AS STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE. WHEN YOU GET
YOUR
BODY TO BEND ABOUT A 90 DEGREE BEND OR LESS, THEN PUSH OFF THE WALL
WITH
YOUR LEGS AND AS SOON AS YOUR FEET COME OFF OF THE WALL, PULL UP WITH
YOUR
ARMS.
ALL THIS SOUNDS SO DAMN EASY TO ANYONE...BUT IT ISN'T...I AM SORRY THAT
THIS
IS NOT A TECHNIQUE THAT EVERYONE CAN LEARN IN A MATTER OF MONTHS. IT
TOOK
ME 5 YEARS TO GET 15 FEET. 5 FUCKING YEARS!!!
SO DON'T GET DISCOURAGED...IF YOU GET TWICE YOUR HEIGHT, YOU SHOULD BE
PROUD.
WORK HARD ON IT...IF YOU CAN WORK ON SOME WEIGHTS ON THE BI-CEPS AND
TRI-CEPS.
DON'T OVER BUILD YOUR BODY THOUGH. ALSO TRY TO DEVELOP ELBOW AND
WRIST POWER.

PUSH YOURSELF IF GOT THE GUTTS...YOU MAY END UP DOING THINGS YOU ONLY
DREAMT
ABOUT.

THIS IS THE FIFTH OF THE NINJA009 SERIES. I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THE FIRST
FOUR BULLETINS AND I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS ONE AS WELL...
***WARNING***
THERE IS A HEAVILY ENFORCED LAW ON BREAKING AND ENTRY. IF YOU GET
CAUGHT FOR
B&E, AND YOU ARE OVER 18, YOU WILL DEFINITELY GO TO * JAIL *...
IF YOU ARE UNDER AGED...STILL DON'T DO IT, SOME TIMES THE STUFF YOU DO
STAYS
ON YOUR FUTURE RECORDS.
BACKGROUND:
----------NINJA'S WERE ABLE TO WALK THRU WALLS, ENTER AND LEAVE A ROOM WITHOUT A
TRACE.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE STEALTH SKILLS, THAT THE NINJA'S POSSESSED. THERE
WERE
RUMORS THAT NINJAS CAN VANISH INTO A WALL...WELL...THAT'S A LITTLE HOAX.
YES WE ARE ABLE TO ENTER AND EXIT A ROOM WITHOUT A LARGE TRACE...IF YOU
KNOW
HOW JAPANESE HOUSES IN THE ANCIENT TIMES WERE BUILT, YOU CAN LOOK AT
THE
SUPPORT POSTS, THEY USUALLY HAVE GRAPPLING HOOK MARKS IF A NINJA HAD
WALKED
THRU THE ROOM TO KILL A PERSON OR SOMETHING. BUT ONE HAS TO LOOK VERY,
VERY
CAREFULLY.
-------------HOW TO DO ITS:
-------------WELL...I WON'T GET INTO ANY PHILOSOPHICAL BULLSHIT OR THE ANCIENT STUFF.
I'LL GIVE YOU INFO ON THE STUFF YOU CAN PUT TO MODERN USE.
HOW TO PICK FILE CABINET LOCKS:
------------------------------IT'S QUITE SIMPLE TO PICK OPEN A FILE CABINET. MOST FILE CABINETS
NOWADAYS
HAVE A CHEAP DISK TUMBLING SYSTEM. IF THE DISK PATTERNS MATCH THE KEY
SHAPE,
PRESTO! IT'S OPEN.

LET ME BRIEFLY EXPLAIN WHAT DISK TUMBLERS ARE...

I I I I I

^ ^ ^ ^ ^
|--|--|--|--|
EACH ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE (^) ARROWS ARE POINTING TO ARE
DISKS. ( SORRY FOR THE BAD ILLUSTRATIONS. )
IF THE KEY INSERTED THRU THE 5 DISKS, AND THE PATTERN OF THE DISKS
MATCH, IT OPENS.
SO TO MAKE A KEY THAT WORKS WITH MOST (ALL) CABINET LOCKS...
GET A WIRE FAIRLY THICK, JUST THIS ENOUGH TO FIT THRU THE LOCKS.
BEND IT IN THE FOLLOWING FASHION.
----------/\/\/\-

WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR KEY, JUST INSERT IT ALL THE WAY IN. JERK IT UP AND
DOWN
AS FAST AS YOU CAN, AS YOU TURN THE KEY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, DEPENDING
ON
HOW THE LOCK OPENS. IF YOU GET THE HANG OF IT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO
OPEN
ANY FILE CABINET LOCK IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. I USUALLY TAKE ABOUT 3 TO 5
SECONDS WITH MY KEY.
OPENING LOCKED DOORS:
--------------------I CAN WRITE A WHOLE BOOK IN TEACHING HOW TO OPEN LOCKED DOORS. I'LL
TELL YOU
THE MOST BASIC WAY OF DOING IT. THIS TECHNIQUE HAS TO BE A DOOR WITH A
GAP
AS WIDE AS A WIDTH OF A BUTTER KNIFE.
IF YOU HAVE A BUTTER KNIFE OR A BUTTER FLY KNIFE OR EQUIVALENT, HANDY,
YOU CAN
OPEN THESE KINDA DOORS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE THE KEY TO THEM.

IF THE ROUND PART OF THE "BOLT" FACES YOU THEN WITH THE KNIFE, PUSH ON
THE
BOLT WITH THE BACK OF THE BLADE. AS YOU PUSH, SLIDE THE KNIFE TOWARDS
THE
SIDE OF THE DOOR. (SEE ILLUSTATION FOR CLARITY). YOU WILL SLOWLY MOVE IT.
AND PRESTO! THE DOOR IS OPEN. THE TRICK IS TO SLIDE THE KNIFE AND PUSHING
IT AT THE SAME TIME, AND HOLD ON TO THE DOOR KNOB. IF IT OPENS INWARDS,
GET
READY TO PUSH IT AS SOON AS THE KNIFE IS THRU THE "BOLT".
FOR THE OTHER CASE ( THE ROUND PART OF THE "BOLT" FACING AWAY FROM
YOU ),
YOU JUST PULL ON THE KNIFE AND GIVE THE SAME SLIDING MOTION. BE CAREFUL
NOT TO STAB YOURSELF. THE KNIFE'S CONTACT POINT IS ALWAYS THE BACK OF
THE
KNIFE.

SINCE I HAVE A LIMIT TO THE LENGTH OF MY FILES, I WILL PUT PART 2 OF THIS ON
THE NEXT ISSUE OF THE NINJA 009 SERIES.

Ninpo
by Roy Ron
Ninpo is a group of related martial traditions that have developed in Japan
since the ancient period (before the 12th century), and that have been combined
in the modern period under one comprehensive martial system. This system
includes the eighteen martial skills (bugei juhappan) for the common bushi
(warrior), and another group of eighteen unconventional types of martial skills
(ninja juhakkei) for special warfare. Another component of Ninpo, in addition to
these thirty-six martial skills, is a unique world view, thought and philosophy,
and esoteric practices. This world view emphasizes the defensive nature of
Ninpo, and the need to have a compassionate heart.
The term "ninpo" is made of two characters. The first, "nin," literally means
patience,perseverance, and stealth. The character itself iscomposed of two
characters to have a blade placed over the heart/mind. There area number of
symbolic meanings to that. One, the blade forces the heart/mind to remain
stealth in order to persevere. Another meaning is that the heart/mind should be
as sharp and pure as the sword. The second character, "ho," is philosophically
more complicated thus more difficult to grasp, and has a strong Buddhist
connotation. In modern Japanese this character is used for the word "law" (as in
the legal system), but in the term "ninpo" it takes on the Buddhist meaning of
the universal Buddhist Law. In Sanskrit the word Dharma (Jp. Law) has a deep and
complex meaning, but it essentially means factors of existence on one level,
ultimate reality on another level, and the Buddhist doctrines and thought on yet
another level. The result of combining it with the first character "nin"
produces a term ("ninpo") that could be understood as the ultimate and eternal
reality of perseverance and stealth.
However, one should not rigidly define or interpret Ninpo in one way, rather
understand the depth of it in its variousmeanings.Ninjutsu. The term ninjutsu
literally means skills of perseverance, andis an historical (vis a vis
historiographical) term. In the 17th century ninjutsu records (Bansenshukai,
Ninpiden and Shoninki), the authors extensively use the word ninjutsu to refer
to their martial tradition. Historically, ninjutsu is a general term for a
variety of martial skills that share a common characteristics. These
characteristics include the people who nurtured and developed ninjutsu, the
combination of conventional and unconventional fighting methods, and the period
when ninjutsu was most widely used, among other characteristics.
It is possible to divide ninjutsu to four fundamental categories: taijutsu,
ninki (weapons), heiho, and shugyo (religious practices). Taijutsu (lit. body
skills) is unarmed fighting techniques divided into kosshijutsu, koppojutsu,
dakentaijutsu, jutaijutsu, and taihenjutsu. Ninjutsu weapons are rather numerous
and include conventional weaponry such as short and long swords, naginata, and
yari, among others. In addition, there is a large variety of unconventional
weapons such as special bladed weapons, concealed weapons, collapsible ladders,
floating devices, and many more. It is common among those who practice ninjutsu
these days to think that in medieval Japan the goal was to master all aspects
and all the techniques associated with ninjutsu. In fact, it was quite the
contrary. The aim was at specialization rather than an overall mastership. It is
important to remember that being born in medieval or early-modern Japan meant

that one's future depended very much on the family in which one was born -- even,
or especially if the family did not belong to the samurai class. Thus, those
warriors who were skilled in Ninjutsu only specialized in some aspect of
ninjutsu, and functioned accordingly within their family. If we look at the
famous Iga and Koga regions, we see a few tens of families within which there
were the majority of family members who acquired just basic skills, those who
specialized in the use of certain weapons or techniques, and those who led the
families and specialized in strategy.

Shinobi-Jutsu
Ninja Skills
Dear reader, in ninjutsu training, there is no such section as "Shinobi-Jutsu". The reason on why the
author has designed this section, was due to the confusion by students on what section does this
group of skills belong to and what section that group of skills belong to. So to help students
understand what are the more involved skills of physical ninjutsu training besides unarmed and
armed combat, weapons training and spiritual training, the author devised a section he now uses
when teaching ninjutsu, which he calls Shinobi (means ninja) Jutsu (means skill or training). This is
the more modernized style of teaching ninjutsu to students today.
Shinobi Ira: Stealth and Concealment Skills
These techniques are normally only shown in training camps, to give students and idea to what
ancient ninjutsu training was like. Students are exposed to camolflage skills, quiet movement,
observation skills and other factors which come under this section.

Chiren Jutsu: Knowledge Training
Knowledge Training is such a diverse area of training and never can a person ever achieve every
skill due to own personal reasons. Students, who have skills in one area, are encouraged to attend
courses to help develop their knowledge in other areas. Not so much in the sense for training, but
for there own personal development as a member of society. The skills of chiren jutsu interlock with
the skills of suiren jutsu. Another way that student undertake this training, is to research books on
the following disciplines and others, to increase their knowledge. We then ask the student to write
an essay on the subject or a report style assignment, to which we see how in-death their research

was on the title.

Ninjutsu Hiketsu Bun

(Essence of Ninjutsu)
by Toshitsugu Takamatsu
The essence of all martial arts and military strategies is
self-protection and the prevention of danger. Ninjutsu epitomizes the
fullest concept of self-protection of not only the physical body, but the
mind and spirit as well. The way of the ninja is the way of enduring,
surviving, and prevailing over all that would destroy one. More than merely
delivering strikes and slashes, and deeper in significance than the simple
out-witting of an enemy; ninjutsu is the way of attaining that which we need
while making the world a better place. The skill of the ninja is the art
of winning.
In the beginning study of any combative martial art, proper motivation
is crucial. Without the proper frame of mind, continuous exposure to
fighting techniques can lead to ruin instead of self-development. But this
fact is not different from any other beneficial practice in life carried to
extremes. Medical science is dedicated to the betterment of health and the
relief of suffering, and yet the misuse of drugs and the exultation of the
physician's skills can lead people to a state where an individual's health
is no longer within his or her personal control. A nutritious well-balanced
diet works to keep a person alive, vital, and healthy, but grossly
over-eating, over-drinking, or taking in too many chemicals is a sure way
to poison the body. Governments are established to oversee the harmonious
interworking of all parts of society, but when the rulers become greedy,
hungry for power, or lacking in wisdom, the country is subjected to
needless wars, disorder, or civil and economic chaos. A religion, when
based on faith developed through experience, a broad and questing mind, and
an unflagging pursuit of universal understanding, is of inspiration and
comfort to people. Once a religion loses its original focus, however, it
becomes a deadly thing with which to deceive, control, and tax the people
through the manipulation of their beliefs and fears. It is the same with
the martial arts. The skills of self-protection, which should provide a
feeling of inner peace and security for the marial artist, so often
develop without a balance in the personality and lead the lesser martial
artist into warped realms of unceasing conflict and competition which
eventually consume him.
If an expert in the fighting arts sincerely pursues the essence of
ninjutsu, devoid of the influence of the ego's desires, the student will
progressively come to realize the ultimate secret for becoming
invincible - the attainment of the 'mind and eyes of the divine.' The
combatant who would win must be in harmony with the scheme of totality, and
must be guided by an intuitive knowledge of the playing out of fate. In
tune with the providence of heaven and the impartial justice of nature, and
following a clear and pure heart full of trust in the inevitable, the ninja
captures the insight that will guide him successfully into battle when he
must conquer and conceal himself protectively from hostility when he must
acquiesce. The vast universe, beautiful in its coldly impersonal totality,
contains all that we call good and bad, all the answers for all the
paradoxes we see around us. By opening his eyes and his mind, the ninja
can responsively follow the subtle seasons and reasons of heaven, changing

just as change is necessary, adapting always, so that in the end there is

no such thing as surprise for the ninja.

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PM25143.TMPGuidelines for stealth walking

1. Maintain balance control by allowing your body weight to sink and be carried
by deeply flexed knees.
2. Remember to breathe along with your movement. Unconsciously holding your
breath can unknowingly produce unneeded muscle tension, and could result in
gasping release of breathe if you are startled or accidentally unbalanced.
3. Stay alert to the entire scene. Do not become so engrossed in watching your
feet that you do not notice other people an elements entering the surroundings.
4. Use all joints for movement, emphasizing fluidity through the engagement of
the ankles, knees, and hips for stepping. Avoid the lazy and dangerous habit of
stiffening knees and swinging the entire leg from the hip.
5. Maintain your weight and balance on your grounded leg while you move the
other leg into position to bear the weight. When absolute silence is a must,
avoid distributing your weight over both legs at the same time.
6. If practical, allow your hands to float lightly in front of and beside your
torso, one arm higher and one arm lower, to detect possible obstructions before
your committed body weight encounters them.
7. Pause and hold your position if you feel that you have accidentally caused
too much noise. Listen for signs that you were heard, such as the movement of
others or the immediate silencing of background noise following your slip. Sink
a little lower on your knees to physically relax that could normally jump into
your body with alarm. Take a deep breathe and release it slowly to further
relax. Continue your pause for as long as you feel is necessary to regain
composure and allow possible listeners to decide they did not hear anything
after all.
8. Be as patient as possible. If speed of travel is not important, take as much
time as you can. Impatience and the resultant hasty movement that it encourages
are the greatest dangers to the person who must move silently without detection.
9. Keep your movement appropriate to your surroundings. Do not go to greater
lengths than necessary to conceal your movement, while at the same being aware
of what others entering the area may see if they cannot hear. Total silence may
not be needed when moving through wooded or densely populated areas where
scattered noise is a natural part of the environment. Also be aware that low
profile crawling or sliding ma be the only way to move silently without being
seen in some locations.
