Ninjutsu Requirements (Green Belt)
The Green belt curriculum marks the middle stage in AKBAN training, where students develop more strategic applications of their technical skills. This collection contains the techniques required for third level advancement, each documented with video demonstrations for reference and study.
AKBAN's approach to Green belt training focuses on tactical awareness and appropriate technique selection. At this level, students begin to understand the principles that govern effective responses across different situations. The techniques listed here require not just execution skill but contextual understanding of when and how they function most effectively. Green belt represents the transition from technical proficiency to practical application.
