What type of sword Chinese, Japanese, or European

Ninjutsu is fun but u have to have a certin body type (a Kendo/Fencer or Kung fu), be agile (thank god for Breakdancing), and be able to endur alot of mental and physical pain alot of ppl drop out because of that but it is so worth it

There is a style for everyone out there so check out each school a see which one works for you

Mixing tech is good cause the ultimate goal in Martial arts is to develop your own style or basically what works for you i personally encourage it cause youll have more knowlage and be able to defend from a multitude of things (it help me when a bjj grappler came into our dojo and i was able to stop him)

oh ok i get it i think we have a punch like that in taijutsu ima use it next time i spar

Our test is simply put as everyday you are tested (nin translate to perseverance-endurance) and you never know what to expect so basically you have to be on your toes i give it a 8-9 cause of the paranoia

There are three main groups that teach traditional ninpo taijutsu and weapons the first is the Bujinkan, the second in Jinekan, and the third is Genbukan and they were spys and i agree just buy a guy its easier

Thats a common misconception ninjutsu wasnt just about sneaking behind and killing someone it was really a total selfdefense against Samurai and it in its self was more of a philosophy mostly about non violence and like i said before most ninja were samurai and also like i said before Taijutsu is very Kung fu like in its movements cause it has it traces all the way back to Shoalin Kung fu

i didnt go to japan to get promoted i went to train with our grandmaster actually alot of the bb told me that they werent really surprise that i got my bb some even before i went said i was going to get promoted when i went there but i just ignored them and trained every day while there (on saturdays i would go to three classes a day yea i now ima nerd ) i was told that they liked the way i moved and gave me the rank

i will just use the Ninjas ultimate technique ......................... the laugh in your face and walk away cause your imature no jutsu it has yet to be defeated

so is a vertical punch and upper cut?

i thought so had to read it a few times i still agree with ya though

It was Bruce lee for me too (i took jkd) but then when i went to japan and saw how awful i am and wat there is to shot for thats my current inspiration

Basically

Gives you early Arthritis

They were in fact very good fighters because they had to defend themselves from Samurai yes they did do intellegence and counter intellegence but so did most samurai in fact most samurai were ninja alot of the so called information that said ninja cant fight was from Samurai who thught the way they fight was un honorable i already had this dicussion with some one on this forum i forgot which topic it was when i find it ill post it

Actually "Ninjutsu" is a very good art for self defense, in fact most of the Special Forces CQC is based on taijutsu alot of people have the wrong concept of taijutsu that its just an assaination art which is wrong we are trained in fact for street fighting and in comparison of Kung fu and taijutsu its hard because in application alot of the techs are very kungfu like and in fact it has traces to be developed from kung fu both in my opinion are very good at self defense its up to the practioner

i was really hoping that this post would end the fact of the matter is you shouldnt do the kuji if 1 you dont have proper training in it and 2. Out of respect of other religions the kuji are buhddist and shinto i was told so by buhddist and shinto practioners. also zanshin doent have one set meaning cause thats the way Japanese as a language is zanshin doest mean going to a criticle point and have the instinct to survive but it can also have additional meanings

i was reading an article in kungfu magazine and applued this to sparring it said when training you should also be in a kinda meditation that will naturally teach you during a real conflict to keep your kool

I crossed trained in different stlyes i thnk its good to have exposesure to other styles to at least know what you may have to deal with out there my teacher in fact encoureges cross training cause it helps us with training and the instructor too so he can be able to improve his teaching style

yea thats the first thing i said when i got promoted gotta train harder

see im not totally insane

What im finding amazing is that all the black belts are like working hard to get me up to speed on everything and techs

thanks you guys are all right ima just gonna train 3x if not more harder
