Shh, don't tell anyone
Real Ninja Skills.
Zero Seriousness.
Live-in ninja martial arts training with Rick Tew in Koh Samui, Thailand. Morning class, evening club session, the island in between. 2 weeks.
What is it
Eat, Train, Think, Play, and Sleep like a ninja.
A live-in martial arts program at Rick Tew's NinjaGym in Koh Samui. It teaches a genuine, structured ninja skill set, stances, rolls, falls, strikes, kicks, self-defense, Ninja Tools, and mental focus, wrapped in a deliberately silly delivery. The training is legit. The vibe is fun.
The whole brand runs on a playful secrecy joke. The misspelling, "Gooffy," "ShhT," is part of the identity, not a typo. Serious skill, silly delivery. Train by day, game by night, and walk away with real skills to take home without giving up your holiday.

Shh, the FAQ
Do I need experience?
No. Beginners are welcome, and so are seasoned fighters. Everyone trains at their level.
What if I am not a morning person?
No worries. Just show up to the evening review sessions, where we go over what we did that morning. Mr. Tew rotates teaching mornings and evenings, so both types get at least 2 classes a week with Mr. Tew.
Can I bring my family or kids?
The live-in program stays in hostel-style bunks built for solo travelers, so it is not set up for families to lodge together. You are welcome to book your own accommodation nearby, and the kids can train at our NinjaGym Kids center while you are in the program.
Can I stay longer?
Yes, a flat $1,000 per extra week. So 3 weeks is $3,222, 4 weeks is $4,222. The 222 tail stays.
What is the free month of WinJitsu?
Every enrollment comes with one free month of WinJitsu.com, our separate training app. It holds the full home study program and everything we actually teach.
Where exactly is it?
Rick Tew's NinjaGym, Big C Mall, Koh Samui, plus a small hostel nearby. Game room at both.
