Ninjers and GroundFighting (again)

[Plasma]

Our favorite Ninjers at the Bujinkan tackle groundfighting yet again. Here are some gems:

I had this conversation at the weekend with one of my students, he said flatly it would not work, what my view to him was that we are given more tools in the box to work with, shin tearing, gouges etc that would not be allowed in ju jutsu,

Thats why ours is the art of surviving.

Shin Tearing is a new one.

Also, in my observation, if someone has about 10 kilos more mass than you then unless you are the best groundfighter in the world and the other guy is the worst, my money is on the heavier guy. Unlike sports, you can't limit what you teach to only big guys. Best to teach the small guys only enough to get on their feet asap than try to teach them to go head to head with a heavier guy.

I guess the Gracies were fucking huge.



BTW Grimjack = :homo:

here there be idiots.

I liked the cheesy "Tools yep we've got em" comment. :sleepy2:

I am unclear as to the exact focus of Ninjitsu/jutsu.
Besides being a freakin' Ninja.

The Ninjutsu principles can be used for defense, however, its more along the line of learning how to fight with a spear or sword. Cultural, fun, mastery, etc.

Mainly Ninjutsu "fighting" is consists of running away and hiding. If there is a pesron/guard is the way, strike them, claw them, blind them, and keep going. There are also part about ambushing people with blades. And of course it had stealth teaching.

What most of these Ninjers are learning is Budo Taijutsu or basically Japanese Jujutsu (poorly I might add).

For ultimate Ninja action, rent the movie Duel to the Death.
I assure you that you will not be dissappointed.

Saw it. Actually on my 22nd birthday we invented a drinking game for it. Everytime a ninja did something against the laws of physics you had to take a shot. I know what your thinking, how did you survive that much alcohol. My answer: I don't know.

Ah Ha! that's the name, I saw it a few years ago and I've been trying to remember what it was called for a while now, nice one. Yes the ninja fight scenes would make the most amazing animated gifs ever for Avatars

Especially the one that turned into a hot naked ninja girl as an ultimate distraction technique.
I must say it worked, since I spent the rest of the movie thinking back to that scene.
Excuse me... hafta go... watch a movie...

That post on the MAP thread link of taking "a deep obvious breath when someone is ranting so as to encourage them, be it on a subconscious level, to breath deep with the hope of getting them to relax slightly and maybe calm down a bit" made me wonder, now I know somebody will actually try this, to produce the maximum effect would it be best to punch them in the stomach when they have filled their lungs with air, when they've fully exhaled, or just at the point of inhalation/exhalation?

It goes without saying that you would shout "Hadoken!" at the same time.

Another great way to distract him is to cover your arm in nail varnish, light it on fire, uppercut the other guy while shouting "Shoryu-Ken!", and then extinguishing it before the fire can burn your skin.
