- [Dan] Oh my gosh.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back to What's Inside, I'm Lincoln, this is Dan
and today we are gonna see what its like to become a
real life ninja.
- Real life.
Today's video is sponsored by Nickelodeon and Lego because
the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards, one of our favorite
things of the year, is coming up on March 23rd,
8 o'clock eastern time, seven o'clock central.
Make sure that you watch it, we are going to be there.
Lego, Ninjago, is an international sponsor for the
Kid's Choice Awards, so we thought it'd be fun to
play with the Lego Ninjago Masters of Spinjitsu sets.
- This Lego Ninjago set is so awesome, there's all these
little secret compartments, like under these stairs there
is a little tiny knob that you can turn on the back,
and there's a sword that pops up from under the stairs.
Like, that's so cool.
- We were thinking how can we take this to the next level?
How can we learn how to be real life ninjas
and what would the training look like for that?
- Where would we even go?
(upbeat music)
- Tokyo, Japan.
- We should so do that!
- You have school and stuff!
(metal swiping)
(fast music)
- That scares me every time.
- I think we found the place.
It says Ninja Samurai Dojo on the door.
Ninja Samurai Dojo.
- Yeah, this looks like it.
(knocking)
- [Dan] Is anybody there?
- Do we just go in?
- [Dan] Try to open the door, open the door.
- Yeah, it's unlocked.
(Dan laughs)
- [Dan] We're just going into a Ninja Samurai Dojo,
oh my gosh.
- Look at all these weapons!
- [Dan] Okay this has gotta be the place
where we're training, right here,
there's like a big old area right here.
- Look at this, dad!
- [Dan] Oh my gosh!
What the? Um...
- Oh my!
- [Dan] Lincoln! Hello!
- Hi!
- [Dan] Do ninjas shake hands? Yes, nice to meet you.
Yes he speaks English too, perfect!
This is Lincoln, I'm Dan.
- [Dan] Karas?
- Yes.
- [Dan] Are you a real ninja?
- Yes.
- [Dan] How long have you been a ninja?
Thirty years?
- Yeah
- Thirty years! I was like eight years old when
he became a ninja.
So we want to learn how to be real ninjas
as much as possible within a short amount of time.
- Yes.
- [Dan] Can we do that?
- Yes.
- [Dan] There are all kinds of weapons in here,
this looks like something you put on your hand
I don't even know what those are, maybe we'll learn.
- [Lincoln] More hand stuff maybe?
- [Dan] Look at all these stars that are right here.
- [Lincoln] Look at these ones over here, these are
the iron ones, stainless steel.
- [Dan] Wow nice. Little mini swords, bigger swords and
bigger swords and...
(metal sliding)
- [Dan] You look set up.
He looks ready right now.
(shuffling)
This is the part of the ninja training where we see
a presentation, about what it's like to be a ninja.
Okay.
(Uplifting music)
That's awesome.
- Yes.
- Okay let's change our outfits so we start our training.
Tight, baggy, tight around the center,
you look awesome.
- Oh yeah, that looks great.
- So a lot of people who think of ninjas,
and they think of just them fighting, fighting, fighting
all the time but in reality, ninjas were a lot of time
were farmers. This was the night colors that they
would wear in black so they could be not seen.
During the war, the way that they would find actual money
is they would use all of their ninja skills, being quiet,
being secretive, and said to go around and find information.
Then they could go back and sell that information
to the Samurais. They would give them money for it
and then the Samurais would be the ones that
would go and fight.
And if you're not a very sneaky ninja,
you're not gonna be a ninja for very long.
Every bit of this attire that I'm wearing,
is to help you be quiet and stealthy.
And blend in.
(Lincoln laughs)
(Dramatic music)
- [Lincoln] Oh yes. Oh yes. Aw.
- [Dan] Okay so the masks, do we have to wear masks
do ninjas, do you need to wear your mask or
will you be in trouble if you don't wear the mask?
Yes, feel free to.
Aahaa. There he is, see?
Okay, ninja training now. Here we go.
- Ninja star training.
- (laughs loudly) He got all of them in there.
Can you get them in there? Do you want to go first or
want me to go first?
- I'll go first.
- [Dan] You got two, wait did you do both of those?
- [Lincoln] Yeah.
- [Dan] Hey, nice job, Lincoln.
Can I do better? Let's see.
Ooh, ninja
Okay, bullseye, coming here.
- [Lincoln] Parried bullseye right there.
- [Dan] As a ninja, when would you use these?
(Laughing)
- I like that strategy, I like that.
- [Dan] Throw it, run away.
When I hit the target, yes, because it's wood.
- Yes.
- Woah.
- Blowdarts.
(blows)
- Good!
- Whoa!
- [Ninja] Bullseye!
- [Mark] Bullseye.
- I like this one.
- [Dan] Then you're gonna run away, that's what a ninja
needs to do.
Is sword training and we're starting with wooden swords
for obvious reasons.
- [Dan] Wind.
- Good.
Good.
(Loud grunt)
Good.
Control yourself, no emotion.
- Oh wait no, no celebration.
- Good.
- I like the water technique, okay.
(calm music)
- Oh wait, no.
(Dan laughs)
- [Dan] Can we see you do it again?
(Music stops)
(laughing)
- Next technique is how to hide.
- [Dan] Ohh how to hide.
(Inspirational music)
- Hurrah!
- [Dan] You've learnt today how to escape, how to walk
like a ninja, how to hide like a ninja, how to
do blowdarts like a ninja.
Lego Ninjago is all about creativity and imagination,
they inspire curiosity and real world play.
For your little ninja characters we have a better idea
now how to play with them and how to move them
so that they're more like real world ninjas.
How did Lincoln do, without the training?
(Upbeat music)
Back to America we go, we literally came here for a day
to show you guys how to be a ninja.
- Now we have a very, very long flight.
- Control yourself.
- [Dan] Focus.
- Focus, goodbye.
We are ninjas.
- This is too close.
- [Dan] When a ninja is in a dojo and needs to use
the bathroom, they use the secret door.
Secret door.
You're safe.
- In here?
- [Ninja] Yes, right.
- [Dan] Shut the secret door.
- Wait, bye.
- [Dan] Bye.
