History of the Day of the Ninja
The International Day of the Ninja was originally declared by Ninja Burger (a parody website) on 5 December 2003 as it was the day that “The Last Samurai” opened in cinemas; the film contained a scene where ninja assassins snuck on the samurai.
It was celebrated by spreading awareness about ninjas by dressing up in ninja costumes and participating in ninja-related activities. “Ninjas” were supposed to let loose on this day and come out of hiding.
Fast forward to one decade later, in 2013, Way Of Ninja organised an offshoot of the original Ninja Day and named it the Day Of Ninja movement. This movement was for anyone interested in the ninja and wanted to make a lifestyle change to live like a modern-day warrior in mindset, fitness and ability. The focus each Day Of Ninja was to help people beat procrastination and take action in their warrior goals in fitness, martial arts, movement skill and mental focus.
Something different this year
With Japan’s adoption of 22 February as their national Ninja Day this year, the movements’ activities will be adapted with effect from 5 December. This means the ninja mission for this Ninja Day will last from 5 Dec 2015 to 22 Feb 2016, slightly more than 11 weeks to make significant progress in your way of ninja.
