Hapkidoka

This is a repost from at least a year ago, but we need some guides and tutorials in this section so... here we go again! :wink:
Hello, my name is Hapkidoka and today I will be walking you through an illustrated tutorial on how to make an uber-sexxy ninja costume out of materials found (for the most part) around your very own home.
Due to an exorbitant amount of requests, I have put this little tut together so that you, yes you, can be as cool as I am in my kickass ninja guise.
First things first, you need to get your materials together and lay them out to make sure you aren't missing anything. Ready for the checklist?
Good!
1 Black T-shirt (possibly another to use an an undershirt)
1 Uber-cool black hapkido headband (optional)
2 pairs of black socks (1 old pair that is able to be irrevocably altered)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/AShirt.jpg
1 black martial arts top (gi, dobok, etc.)
"But Hap, I don't have one!"
A black jacket or longsleeve shirt will do, but a dobok top is MUCH cooler.
1 black belt (a black rope will suffice as well, I used a belt tho)
1 pair of baggy black pants (I used old UFO pants from my raving days)
1 pair of century sparring gear footpads (optional)

Got all that? Good, now we're ready to get ninja-fied!
Take the baggy black pants
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/Cpantalones.jpg
and put them on. (C'mon now...one leg at a time there Corky, do I really need to show you how to put on pants?)

Now get your black t-shirt ready (mine is stretchy and I think it adds to the effect, but that's a personal preference).

Place said t-shirt over your head so that you are looking through the hole for your head, like so:

Now, fold the underside of the head hole under so you have a straight piece of cloth going across your nose and then tie the sleeves tightly behind your head. Try to flex and show off your tattoo (if you have muscles and/or a tattoo) as well.

Look at yourself in the mirror. You're beginning to look like a ninja already!
Now take your black martial arts top (or black jacket/longsleeve shirt)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/Hdobok.jpg
and put it on.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/IDobok1.jpg
Now take the pair of black socks that you won't get in trouble for cutting holes in, and put them on your hands. Spread your fingers out inside them to see where you need to cut finger and thumb holes and then make with the cutting already! But be careful, Hapkidoka does not take responsibility for any mishaps that may arise during the cutting process (use the neon colored saftey sissors, Stumpy).
After cutting, put your fingers through the holes and pose.

Oh, yeah. We're getting close now!
Take the other pair of black socks and put them on over your black baggy pants. Play with the amount of tucking and untucking of the pant legs until you are happy with the sexiness factor.

Now, if you are as cool as me, then you have century sparring gear and ninja-esque footpads already.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/LFootpads.jpg
Go ahead and put them on. They add to the effect, I promise!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/MFootpads1.jpg
Take your black belt (or rope) and put it on as well.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/NBelt.jpg
You should be pretty freakin' stealthy by now!
At this point we are moving into the optional accessory section of the tutorial.
Take your uber-cool hapkido head band, with the optional "Ninja Vanish" upgrade
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/OHeadband.jpg
and tie that bad boy around your head!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/PHeadband1.jpg
Now, you are just about as ninja as it gets.

For those of you that say things like, "But daddy Hap, I don't have an uber-cool hapkidoka headband with optional "Ninja Vanish" upgrade! What about me? What should I do?" I have this advice for you: Use your creativity! Try out various other ornamental headwear!
Got a red sash just lying around?
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/SRedband.jpg
No? Well, why not expess your gritty, urban flava' and become a "HipHop Nin"?
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/THiphopnin.jpg
Not working for you? You say that you don't have a badass Team NV hat just lying around? Well, why not smack some hos if they don't get you that money and become "Chocolate Shadow", the pimpin' nin?
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/UPimpnin.jpg
Too busy being fellated by skeezy interns to find time to pimp any hos? Well, the obvious solution is to become "Bill Clint-nin".
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/VClintNin.jpg
Oh, you had too much fun walking on the sea of Galilee and healing lepers to ever run for president? Well, then "Messiah-nin" is your answer!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/WJesusNin.jpg
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/XJesusNin1.jpg
Need regular doses of oil to sneak without squeaking? Then the "Tin-nin" option is for you!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/YTinnin.jpg
Or, you could just rock the hell out and bcome the "Last of the Fauxhicans-nin".
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y217/hapkidoka/ZFauxHawkNin.jpg
Feel free to express yourself in your own unique way! As long as you assassinate fools with style, it's all gravy, baby!
That concludes my illustrated tutorial on Ninja Costume creation. Please, post any pictures you may take of your own ninja costumes or any questions that might arise along the road in your own quest for ninja-ness!
