    arbeit macht ninja

    Once again, Ninja grappling. I can describe this with bullshido cliches or with my own brand of 200% more pretentious analogies writeup (which has been established here long enough that it is itself a bullshido cliche) but ultimately, nothing can prepare you for the reality of a grown man in a black costume kissing his biceps in front of a room full of scared, awkward teenagers.

    So without further introductions...

    IME rationalizations for avoiding arbeit were a big part of what macht ninja.

      I just don't understand this crap and why people would go along with half of it.

      BTW, was he tickling people at one point or did I misinterpret a d34dly technique?

        Time index?

        As for why people go along with this, they are seriously convinced that if they trained with any kind of resistance people would constantly be injured. I think the way they did it to me was they did a wristlock and told me to not resist at all. I felt slight discomfort. Then they told me to resist a little, it kinda hurt a bit.
        Then they said if I was allowed to fully resist my wrist would probably get broken. So the only way to safely train this stuff is 100% compliant. If you drill it enough with a healthy dose of adreneline you'll be able to do it full speed if the time comes.
        I believed it because I'd heard the same thing on a documentary about the U.S. marines hand to hand training (it was an earlier system than the current one). Add in a belief in the jutsu/do street(battlefield)/sport dichotomy and for a while it all made sense to my ignorant little mind (for a while).

            Interesting, we don't see too much ground work in these parts.

            The instructors do not seem to have suffered from the all too frequent Bujinkan rank inflation, to their credit.

                what an enormous egomaniac!
                all ive seen is one big egotrip from someone with very poor japanese jiu jitsu skills.
                and japanese jiu jitsu sucks already on its own.
                what a dick.

                in the beginning the prick manages to fuck up a kuzure kote heneri on that young boy.

                  You guys all got it wrong, Mr. Black Pants explains it on the website:

                    The double wrist lock/throw dirty threesome at 0.13 is rather special.

                      Best thread title of the year.

                      OT. Looks Systema to me.

                          Is it bad I clicked this expecting some broken ninja arms at the tiny paws of a prickly mammal?

                            In reference to the link: Ah, Bryan Mcarthy! The Bujinkan boys look down on him because he broke away from them to do his own thing.

                            Which, could be a very negative reflection on Mr Mcarthy or a fairly positive one... either way, meh.

                            I was also astonished to see some fairly pretty girls in the pics posted.

                            Pretty girls... At a Ninja seminar.... Armageddon is here...!!!

                              I blame Aikido for inventing the concept of an Uke.
