Chapter 10: The Great Wall Of China & Other Wonders Of The World

 

China is a place that rocks and I have always asked my parents to come here one day.

Today is that day!

 

This competition finally gives me the opportunity to see the great wall of China with my bare eyes.

 

The Great Wall Of China is the 5th Wonder of the World.

 

As I get off the plane, I am greeted by some tough looking Chinese kids who do not seem to kid around.

 

They are testing my reactions with Martial Arts.

 

My reputation travels quicker than myself because they are eager to see some tricks that I can do with my skateboard.

 

The kids here are quick like cats and unlike my pals they do not like to waste time or to make lame jokes.

 

I am showing them my famous Ninja Skateboard Fart Tumbler and they are truly impressed by such a new dimension of the Martial Arts.

 

They back off and I say loud:

 

"Ah, China! They look tougher than they are!"

 

As we move towards the Great Wall Of China, I can feel the power in the air and things seem to vibrate differently here than at home.

 

What do I really know about China?

 

When I think about China I think of fire and the color red.

 

I am very passionate for this country.

 

It reminds me of Jacky Chan, Bruce Lee and Donnie Lee.

 

I am a true fan of Martial Arts like Wing Chun, Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Karate, Jujutsu, Aikido, Judo, and Sambo.

 

 

 

There are many other variations and some have to do without weapons others with weapons and there is a third group that just uses the mental energy of the body and brain to defeat the opponent.

 

I can really get very passionate about these cool self-defense and mental strength disciplines that do involve thorough study and understanding.

 

My goal with the skateboard competition is to integrate some of these Martial Art sequences into our Ninja skateboard fart action sequences.

 

Here in China the Martial Arts athletes practice the real thing not the watered down versions that they teach you at home.

 

This is first hand stuff so make sure to watch very closely if you get the chance to go to China.

 

I also heard that the food is world class here in China and some people say Chinese food is the best in the world.

 

Let's hope we get some magical herbs and Chinese beans for El Ninjo so that we can make some additional points just by tapping into the powerful Chinese food and herb options.

 

If you ask me, I love to try almost everything and especially with food I am not a wussy. Food has to be a little creative and I like to try things out at least once. Twice if I really like it!

 

Before coming to China I did not really have a plan because when you look at the Great Wall Of China you can just see a great wall (enormous in measurements), but still it remains a wall with all kinds of angles going up and down and stuff but in the end it remains what it is.

 

There are not too many obstacles to improvise with so the plan is to win the edge by simplifying our technique.

 

If I am thinking about the Great Wall Of China, I have great respect even though it is just a wall.

 

You have to take in mind that the Great Wall Of China is a series of fortifications. These fortifications were made of brick, stone, tamped earth, wood, and other materials.

 

Protecting the Chinese Empire was the main strategic role of it.

 

Did you know that several walls were being built as early as the 7th century before Jesus.

 

Later they were all joined together and made much bigger and stronger. After the unification the wall was collectively called the Great Wall.

 

The Great Wall stretches from the Shanhaiguan east, to Lop Lake in the west and then along an arc that delineates the southern edge of the Inner Mongolia.

 

The coolest fact that I found out about recently is that some early scientists stated that the Great Wall Of China is enjoying a reputation of being the only work of human hands on the globe that is visible from the Moon!

 

I kind of doubt it but there are some films that confirm this belief like Ripley's Believe It or Not! and Richard Halliburton's 1938 book Second Book of Marvels.

 

But then there is no lunar astronaut that has ever claimed to have seen the Great Wall from the Moon.

 

I guess I have to fart myself to the moon in order to check it out myself some day.

 

Anyway, I love the visit to China and it gives me a great experience, mental force, inspiration and spiritual enlightenment because China is really as impressive and vibrating as I had heard about it before.

 

Let's get some powerful fart herbs for El Ninjo on the open food market and let's all have some lunch. The food is some weird looking stuff on sticks that tastes awesome and we wash it down with some Ginseng tea to fire up our brain power.

 

My goal is to win the competition at the Great Wall of China with a simple and clever fart strategy just following the principles of Eastern Martial Arts and integrating some of our own skateboard farting discipline.

 

We are having the most beautiful and insightful ride of our life because we use the power of simplicity and clarity.

 

The other guys are overcomplicating their moves which makes them fail. In my opinion they just try too hard.

 

We were thinking about the principle of minimum effort and maximum impact which is the power principle of Judo.

 

Think about Bruce Lee and Karate Kid.

 

Mental focus is key and combined with El Ninjo’s series of vapor style Kung Fu farts that he keeps coming out like magic we are going to win this.

 

The herbal stuff that he ate transforms into magical fart canons.

 

We are swirling and tumbling through the most beautiful scenery à la Bruce Lee.

 

The fart karate skateboard freestyle is all that we need for our winning defense because it is simple and effective.

 

We are winning this competition because we are focusing our mental power on things like perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, and flexibility.

 

This is exactly what the world needs a fart Ninja and a skateboarding Ninja and together we are defeating everybody else who tries to cross us.

 

With this attitude we reached the goal as the winners.

 

The boys behind us are lying on the ground like flies because they fainted as they smelled El Ninjo's intensive herbal Nina fart defense.

 

Man, these Chinese herbs are really powerful!

 

The plane already waits for us and our next destination is India where we are going to conquer the Taj Mahal, another one of the wonders of the world.

 

I really loved this competition because we had all the advantages on our side. Half of the boys did not even come to the start because they were sick from the food and the other half got sick from El Ninjo's Judo farts during the race.

 

On the other side I am really impressed by the Chinese kids who are mentally stronger and better trained to defend and protect themselves against invaders.

 

I definitely want to be like them and when I get home I will ask Dad to get myself into some serious Karate training because learning Kihon (basics or fundamentals), kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring) is going to be very beneficial for the rest of my life.

 

Imagine how cool I will be at school when showing off my karate skills!

 

With these pleasant and empowering thoughts I am falling asleep and the next thing I know is that I am in India.
