Endurance Training

The Japanese word for Ninja is made of two parts. 'Nin' for endurance and 'Ja' for person. This comes from the Chinese root symbols of a knife inside a heart. Meaning even if you have a knife in your heart your able to endure.
Simply put a Ninja is a person with great endurance.

Interestingly enough the low weight high repetition training we currently do increases endurance. As well HIIT programs. High Intensity Interval Training.
So, this can also be called ninja training in a sense.
