Izzy Arkin is nothing short of remarkable. A man of integrity, this former middle school science teacher quit his job to pursue his childhood dream - to become a ninja.

In 2009, Izzy moved halfway across the world from the USA to Japan where he earned his black belt in Aikido and officially became a ninja.

Today his quest continues to live an awesome life as well as teaching others how to create their own epic lives at The 30 Year Old Ninja and Why Not Live an Awesome Life.
