Private Ninja Lessons!!! Why Can’t I Live in Bronxville, NY?!?
Jun 4th
Why, oh why can’t I live in Bronxville, New York? It would be a dream come true to take Private Ninja Lessons from a true master. Even if I didn’t receive this as a gift for Father’s Day or my birthday, I would certainly convince my wife the $180 was a good investment in home protection and stealth investigations.

Private Ninja Lessons |
Description:
Learn the secrets of ancient martial arts and the mysterious ninja warriors with one of New York’ oldest Bujinkan schools, affiliated with Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Japan since the early 1980′s.These legendary combat methods teach effective methods of self-protection using elusive timing, control of distance and subtle angling, i.e. like how to avoid the assault of a sword. Learn from an actual Shidoshi (teacher of the warrior ways) about the history, tradition and philosophy of these night tigers before practicing their self-defense, heightened awareness and combat strategy methods.These lessons are a great compliment to existing martial art experience. The opportunity to use weapons in this class is on a case to case scenario and under the sole discretion of the instructor.After this session with our experienced ninja instructor you will better understand the mystery and power that surrounds this 900-year-old martial art.What martial arts are taught? Your Ninja Lesson is based on the martial art of ninjutsu also, called budo taijutsu. Budo taijutsu uses relaxed, natural movement, timing and control of distance to overcome an opponent’s speed and strength. Movement is refined for grace and naturalness in all action until power results from mere movement, and evasion from a simple adjustment of position. Weaponry, striking, grappling, choking and throwing as well as methods of leaping and rolling are all disciplines that are incorporated into our curriculum. This training is one of the rare martial arts undiluted by emphasis on sport competition or artificial rules. Our training emphasizes shiken gata – combat survival techniques.
New Skills Can Be An Enriching Gift

If you are banging you head against the wall trying to think of a unique gift idea for someone close to you, you may just have found something that will work for you!
If your wife/husband, parent, brother/sister, adult children, or close friend has ever talked about being bored at this point in their life, or wishing they had a hobby, or that they had pursued past attempts at playing an instrument or painting, or if you know that they have admired the ballroom dancing on Dancing With The Stars, then giving them DVD-based lessons could be the perfect fit.
For this gift idea article, I am highlighting DVD lesson sets from Legacy Learning Systems. Yes, we do have an affiliate relationship with them where we would get a commission, but the idea is genuine (as always!!) and the price is the same no matter how you get there.
Hopefully one of the following DVD lesson sets will spark your gift-giving genius and make someone close to you very happy:

Let The Cold Beverages Come to You
Apr 14th
This unique gift idea seems like it’s perfectly targeted to men. But, any women with an interest in this remote-controlled cooler will always hold a special place in my heart (even though I’m taken, I can still admire someone’s coolness!).
BBQ season is just about here, and what guy wouldn’t be psyched to show off his new “beer robot” to his friends? You could wait until Father’s Day, but that just wouldn’t be fair to make him wait. And, if it’s a guy yet to have kids, why should he suffer in the heat because of that?
It’s only 70 bucks!

The Gift of Google for Your Technically Challenged Elders
Mar 23rd
It’s here!!!
Google for Seniors: Get Acquainted with Free Google Applications: Google Earth, Maps, Reader, Docs, Sites, Chrome
Despite the unfortunate release date of April 1st (April Fool’s Day), this came to fruition as a real book! (I had originally posted this as an “it’s coming” post prior to being published, and I had this small tickle in my brain that April Fool’s day was coming).
|
Order (and pre-order) here at Amazon.com |
So, for your grandparents, parents, aunts & uncles, senior friends that may (actually) have an interest in becoming better-acquainted with all the rich information that Google has to offer, this could be a winning gift idea.
I personally think that donating this book to a Senior Center, Elderly Housing Complex, Assisted Living Living Facility, etc. would be very welcomed by those organizations.
Here’s a description of the book:
With step-by-step instructions and illustrative screenshots, this guide is designed specifically for seniors, and provides detailed information on the free software and services provided online by Google. For beginners and more advanced computer users alike, this insightful resource shows how to perform tasks such as exploring the world, building a free website, browsing the internet, creating documents, and sharing web albums & sharing online calendars, by using the host of options available through Google.
