Question

Why does a ninja need weapons?

Community Answer

If you are going full ninja, then you might use them against enemies if the need arises. Strictly in terms of the customs, though? It is simply to finalize the stereotypical ninja look.

Question

Do I have to use a long-sleeved shirt?

Community Answer

If you're talking about for the hood, yes, because you have to tie the sleeves to make it. If you're talking about actually wearing a long-sleeved shirt, that's up to you, but usually ninjas don't wear short sleeves.

Question

Can I use ribbon to tie on my palms instead of gloves?

Ethan Yang

Community Answer

You could, but it wouldn't really cover your hands very much. I would recommend black or red gloves as a substitute. Or, you could purchase a ninja costume.

Where can l find ninja training camp or course?

Blank and private

Community Answer

You can find ninjutsu practices mainly in Japanese dojos. Nowadays, ninjutsu is not very popular while you can take a look at other Japanese martial arts such as iaido, judo, and kendo.

Question

Would a pair of black joggers do? I think that it would be a lot easier and way more comfortable.

Adventure_On_Crack

Community Answer

You would be able to get away with that, it just wouldn't be exact. So if you are going for more of an exact look, these wouldn't be your best option but they're fine for comfort.
