Movies:

We are a traditional combat fighting school of Bujutsu (ancient warrior schools)and uphold all Japanese customs and traditions in our Dojo.Our loyalty always to our art,but we will not take any part in the shameful politics sometimes invovled within Ninjutsu,such as slandering other groups or styles(that means any !) or any other instructors.We will not be bound to any group or specific set way of any teacher other than Hatsumi Sensei and choose to train with several top Shihan in the art,not be obligated to just one.

Singhas Dojo recommended reading.- The tales of the Otori series- All books by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi- Older publications by Stephen K. Hayes- Memoirs of a Geisha- The book of 5 rings by Miyamoto Musahi- The book of Hagakure- The Samurai and there secret fighting art- Mindfreak, the autobiography of Illusionist Criss Angel- "The Ninja" by Eric Van lustbader(this book is a fictional story and is not a factual representation of true Ninjutsu.it is however a great book so just read and enjoy!)

Heroes:

All those who get up everyday and keep fighting to live there dreams no matter what odds or hardships keep coming there way,those who keep going in the face of adversity are always heroes and live each day, knowingly or not, with the true heart of the Ninja.Ninpo Ikkan
