Exploring the Ninja

[FilipinoNinja]

The empty hand techniques taught in the so called "Ninjutsu" schools is basic jujutsu, taught in a retarted way. The fluid evasions and mai training is good, however the many instructors are not very good at executing and teaching the actual techniques. Many instructors actually don't even have that much of an understanding of the techniques, only vague concepts. Perhaps they were not transmitted properly to them?

All the guerilla shit......Have the instructors been taught this, or are they a bunch of LARPers. LARP I would say. If you want to learn guerilla fighting join the military and get into the special forces and do it for real and stop LARPing..............fucking ninjers.

:new_cussi :qleft2: :angry2:

i know what you mean, many bujinkan instructors can be idiots because they arent looking at the big picture. There are good bujinkan instructors but you'de have to look for them(some might even know how to sneak around all cool:icon_bigg ). Is there a difference between taijutsu practitioners and n1nj3rs out of curiosity?

Pardon my ignorance on the subject, but wasn't ninjitsu supposed to be an art where you sneak in a castle, poison some fat Japanese dude, and then get out without being busted? Assuming it isn't just made up BS, wouldn't you mostly be learning how to sneak around and shank people in the back when they weren't expecting it? Isn't it mostly about sneaking up on somebody, slitting their throat and running away? Why would anyone try to defend it as a fighting art? It isn't really a fighting art.

Ironically, this has some use on "teh str33t". After getting stomped in a ring, you can kill the guy that humiliated you when he's getting into his car. So ninjas are the r3al str33t badasses after all....

pure truth:evil1:

I'd like to read a Street vs Sport sticky. Just so I know what to do on the street when a ewok attacks me with a broken beer bottle and smoke bombs.

Ewoks use sticks, stones, and logs.

"Ninjutsu is a form of Retardation":violent5:

at the end of the day/endless debate..this is what warrants remembering the most.
The quote also warrants printing on a t shirt and wearing to training IMHO.

Actually the answer is "both" and it's not a bullshit answer either. Go ahead and train it with aliveness and see how much it resembles kickboxing and judo. Then quit your school and do actual kickboxing and judo.

umm it was before judo buddy

i had a gun to my face once.

My Defense: i acted like i wanted to buy it from him, had a conversation about it, and went to "get the money" never to return.

wasn't really a plan, but i just kept winging it and i didn't have pee my pants and pretend to have a heart attack

LOL!!! Dude, whether or not that's true, it's still great!

True but the way the booj guy was showing it wouldn't work. He would have gotten himself shot in real life.

Okay.

Krav Maga has excellent gun disarming techniques.

If you say so.

I would have to agree with this guy. You ninjers cannot survive a cage match with a MMA guy. And don't start that shit that you don't follow rules, you do all the banned technique. Ok lets move this fight to the parking lot where anything goes. OK, Fight. Guess what the MMA guy can do all that hitting in the throat, neck twisting, biting, eye poking crap that you say will save your ass. The MMA guy can do that common sense shit too. He will pull it off and the ninjer won't because he will be in the better position to do it.

Don't start saying I'll get a bottle and hit his head. He can get a bottle and hit yours and pull it off because he is in a better position. Also don't say I'll get my friends. Well he has friends too.

I've been in the martial arts for 15 years, I did booj for 8 months of them. My last class in the booj:

The instructor was doing gun defense. It was pathetic. I had a light bulb in the head go off moment. This stuff won't work. I was LEO for 4 years in an urban setting before moving to a rural area. The gun defense the Academy taught was from Krav Maga. It was brilliant. The booj instructor had his uke stand in lunge punch position with a rubber gun in his hand extended straight out. Who the fuck shoots like that. The booj guy leaned to the side on an angle and reached up with one hand and took the gun away. Actually the uke gave it to him. It was the most stupid thing I ever saw. The booj guy said "it is that easy". Usually when a booj guy does something you would laugh or roll your eyes. As an LEO I was pissed. I thought this guy is going to get people killed. Give me a gun and I would have emptied a mag in his sorry LARPing ass.

The fat cross-eye booj teacher had us sit in a circle jerk to discuss our feelings after class. He then said "ewoks are ninja and used ninja tactics against the stormtroopers." This from a 35 year old man. I actually got up and walked out. I never went back to a booj school again. Anyway I hope this helps. Don't join. If you want Japanese Jujutsu because you like asian culture do Genbukan. Otherwise do Krav Maga, BJJ/MT. SM Hapkido is ok too.:f-off:

u serious? the Bujinkan unstructor talkin about Ewoks!? SCREW EWOKS ID RATHER BE A JEDI!! *wacks random people with toy lightsaber* ...at last we will reveal ourselves to the Ninj3rs...at last we will have revenge...

If i were to fight some guy in MMA ide just throw a smokebomb and disappear!:hello: :hello: :hello:
