Ninja Training
On the edges of Portland, masters await to guide you in the art of the Forest Ninja. Everyday you delve deeper into its ancient secrets.
This camp is about training diverse martial arts in some of the most beautiful natural areas in Portland. On each hill we climb, each dojo we enter and adventure we embark on, a master of an art awaits us. We practice both hard and soft styles: exploring martial arts from across the world.
All this plus the Trackers Rangers Guild introduces their specialised way of nature awareness, stealth and invisibility called The Curriculum of Shadows.
All arts are approached from the prospective of the responsibility of a protector for family, dojo (school) and community. We address how fighting is rarely a solution and how the true martial artist is a master of path of of least resistance.
Ages 9-10 Path of the Dragon Older campers focus on more advanced studies in martial arts and stealth and evasion. They focus on the history of ninjistu and even have a chance to make their own foam nunchuks and weapons.
