There's an actual Ninja Academy in Japan now because, d'uh obviously

Have you ever thought you had the makings to be a ninja warrior?

We're not talking about those reality shows where you go through an obstacle course, we're talking actually dressing up in black and using throwing stars and stuff. As you'd expect, there's not really a huge demand for ninjas nowadays because of the whole feudalism thing going out of fashion a few hundred years ago.

However, a so-called Ninja Academy has opened in the Nara Prefecture of Japan and promises to show members how to become the ultimate ninja warrior. This includes learning how to throw shurikens, how to slice pieces of wood with a samurai sword and, we're guessing, how to hide in rafters and fall silently to the ground.

All really handy things that'll totally come in handy the next time you're looking for a job. This video, captured inside one of the training rooms at the academy, shows its trainees in action. Of course, if these were ACTUAL ninjas, the video would just show an empty room because ninjas are supposed to masters of stealth, not middle-aged Japanese people farting around in a warehouse.
