Favian Gonzales trains in Muay Thai and Jeet Kune Do and wishes to expand his knowledge of martial arts. Because his area experiences a lot of violence, he is tempted to actively do something about it. As a note, Way Of Ninja intends to talk about and hold a discussion about the topic of vigilantism on Twitter during the next year.  Join us in sharing your thoughts then.

Logen Lanka is the person who typed this compilation of Day Of Ninja stories (it’s me). Among the many goals listed, I intend to get back to martial arts training, working out and starting basic Parkour. Yesterday, I started on my goal to sleep earlier (3.05am). Will try harder to adjust my sleep, while getting everything done.
