As we belong to a society, we have the ethical responsibility of preparing our students to collaborate with the environment that surrounds them.  With the inclusion of philosophical principles, as part of our curriculum, the students develops self confidence as well as respect for other people.  This principle is known, in ninjutsu, as nin or the principle of person or human being full of talent, a true man.  As you can see, we try to set ethical values as well as fighting knowledge in our students as an attempt to contribute to society while trying to seed the respect of every living creature, which is the secret of ninjutsu... our way of life.
