I read that the old religion for the ninja was Mikkyo. It was some secret religion from China or Tibet I think. The Ninja had more a philosophy then a religion. They could have had religions as far as being people of a certain background in a certain area but as far as their religion forming their training is unlikely. You can be a drug dealer and go to Church every sunday. But you don't deal drugs in the name of the Lord. So it was more a philosophy of constant training.

There are a lot of weapons in the Bujinkan. But when you get down to it everything is a weapon. And again you'll find once you get into it all the weapons are the same and once you get good with one all the others will just be easy too. It's all just a feeling and once you capture that feeling you can apply it to anything. Like if you visit the ocean and you get a certain feeling. Then when you listen to a tape of the ocean you get the same feeling. Or when you sit quietly and think about the ocean you get the same feeling again. So that sort of thing is a big part of the Bujinkan. There are weapons per grade but really it depends more on your instructor. Weapons don't really matter untit your Taijutsu is good anyway. So your best bet is to seriously practice Taijutsu and then just goof around with weapons so that when it comes time at least your not all goofy and uncoordinated with a bo or whatever.

Who was your instructor? What did you think and do you still practice it?

How am I lying? Which Combat-Ki instructor have you trained with? You misunderstood (as I am not surprised) the Ki is just a feeling. And you don't like my last quote because you know it apllies to you.

Has anyone heard or practiced anything related to ninjutsu?

Yin-Yang is about balance but not an obtainable or controlable balance. The universe and everything are always in balance. Because that's its nature. To say the universe is not balanced is like saying it's wrong. As far as duality or thinking it represents duality is to be human. It's like in the Matrix, our minds are always at odds back and forht yes and no. We limit ourselves and our external world to yes or no. But Yin-Yang is only one thing. Even to say Ying and Yang is to seperate and catagorize it. Our minds like a computer are binary and so to do we try to group our ideas, theories and such in the same manner. Another way to think abour Yin-Yang is as change. Constant change. But within constant change, is still the ability to remain the same for as long or short as possible. Here's a scary thought for you guys. It there is always balance within the universe and no extreme can last forever, then in the universe right now there is life. The balance of or inevitablity of change denotes that there must therefore come a time when there is no life what so ever with the universe, meaning that by the very basic theory which is Yin-Yang, humanity and even the earth are doomed. Chew on that.

I don't mean to be rude with that last line but there are two kinds of people on this board: those who give out information and those who destroy any and all information. I'm just tired of reading Johny white been doing martial arts for 2 weeks saying that the stuff I got from the Grandmasters is wrong or "unlikely".

It's not pain tolerance. Because if if you have no feeling in your arm and you get hit hard enough you'll bruise. But with this Combat-Ki, done properly, won't leave a bruise no matter how hard the hit. And if you don't believe me then do some research, obtain an informed opinion and then get back to me

Yeah I don't understand what your talking about. What about those people?

Why don't you grow up and talk about the topic instead of correcting my english? And by master I meant Menkyo-Kaiden but you don't know what that means right?

It's was on Ripleys. Here's a link to check it out. http://members.cavtel.net/greatneck/Soke%20Rod%20Sacharnoski%20-%20Juko%20Kai%20International.htm

But Ki is Ki. Red Ki , liver Ki, natal Ki. It's all Ki. Ice, water, steam, condensation, sweat, clouds. It's all the same. Yeah it's a little different one has salt another doesn't but are they not all water H2o. Anyway sciencetifically this isn't 100% true but I should you hope you get the idea. Why can't you absorb some Ki from around you if you run low? I absorb Ki from drinks, food, air but I can't from all around me. This doesn't really make sense since air is all around me. I can absorb Ki from air but not from around me, but mostly all that's around me is air so...And maybe since the body is a better conductor then battery, it makes sense that the Ki we "use" doesn't come solely from inside but from around us. You'll never amount to much if the only Ki you can use is the measely amount your body creates.

That Combat-Ki stuff is very dangerous. So think of it like if you meet a qualified who's willing to teach you then it's time for you to learn. If not then you aren't good enough. I've heard all kinds of stories about people getting hurt even though they were very good at it. They weren't too good if they got hurt right? Well when the guy striking can't hit a target the size of a basketball then "accidents" are bound to happen. Combat-Ki isn't the end all of the martial arts world but if you can get it, it's nice to have. But until your a good martial artist, lots of practice etc, it's not of much use to practice. But by all means read up on it.

There is no one who can ever master a Ki technique. Why? Because your Ki can always be made stronger. Say for fun you can move a card. Did you master the technique of moing things? Probably not if all you can move is a card try and move two cards add weight until you can lift cars, buildings, planets. What's the heaviest thing you can lift? There's no such thing. You'd have to travel the universe to find bigger planets to see if you could move those. So this was all crap, but it's just to show you can't master anything let alone Ki stuff. If by the topic you wanted to find the easiest technique to learn or to denote progress, it would probably be a Ki ball. But just feeling Ki move in your body is really good and important to do. There is just so much you can do with it. Depending on what you're dead set on learning will effect your progress and what will be "your" best technique. You wanna learn how to fly giver. You wanna learn to fix your arthritis in your ______ then practice that and you'll get it eventually. And if it's a little crazier like flying etc then still try for it I guarantee you'll learn something on the journey.

No internal energy isn't a misinterpretation. It's unlikely that every translator translated the same thing wrong and for years and years. That's something though, I've never heard that before. As far as what Chi is, it's a less powerful more logical and believable version of the force in Star Wars or in DBZ. Take out the fact that it doesn't have to be entertaining or make money or be overexagerated and that's pretty close or at least something like real Chi/Ki.
