Finally! I’m a ninja! Only ten minutes ago I defeated the Sensei, and have now become an official ninja!

But, I’m afraid, for a non-member, it isn’t as exciting as it looks…

Of course, there’s the mask – that’s pretty cool. Here’s a picture of what the ninja mask and black belt look like together (the standard ninja outfit).

And before you ask, yes, it is real.

If you’re wondering about the “real ninja outfit”, the grey one that makes you invisible, I’ll tell you straight out that this outfit that I am wearing is the only available ninja outfit for non-members. Sorry, it’s all you get. I was quite disappointed myself, too, but I’m afraid that’s what’s happened. Members, you don’t have to worry, you can buy anything in the Martial Artworks Catalogue.

And here is the Martial Artworks Catalogue items:

• A Dojo igloo 5000 coins
• A special ninja outfit 1000 coins
• Rice paper wall screen 500 coins
• Stone Lantern 575 coins
• Hand Gong 400 coins

And here is where you find the catalogue (inside the Dojo Hideout room)

And here is the secret Dojo Hideout:

So now you wanna be a ninja, right?! Here’s how:

Firstly, you have to play in Competition Mode (chat to the Sensei) and keep getting belts until you’re up to the black belt. Once you reach this, you can play the Sensei, and, if you win, you will receive the ninja mask and be able to go into the Ninja Hideout.

If you’re still working hard on progressing up the belt ranks, you can have a look at our tips on how to win and get better at Card-Jitsu. Click here.

If you’re up to the black belt and are trying to beat the Sensei, but aren’t winning, read below!

When I got my black belt, I was very excited to play the Sensei and have a chance at winning. After all, before now, the Sensei had been able to “read my mind” every move I made. Now, I could actually play a decent game with him.

This is partly true. But, I’ll warn you, that, when you play the Sensei, he will beat you easily, like he has before, for the first few games. So don’t get confused (like I did!!) just keep playing him. The more you play him, the weaker he’ll get, until finally he actually makes a mistake!! :O! He will usually make his first bad move around the sixth or seventh game.

But it isn’t over just when he mucks up. You have to use your skill, wit and tricky moves to go on to win! Remember all of your strategies and use it on the Sensei. You may have to play a few games before you can finally beat him.

It really isn’t as hard as it sounds. It only took me seven quick games before I’d beaten him. Only 1 or 2 after he had made his bad move. Just wait for the mistake, and then it should be pretty easy from there. The Sensei isn’t really as good as he looks – I beat him easily!!

So keep on going – and watch out for that ninja mask!

On to ninjahood!
