This is a quistion to all of those people who do ninjitsu. My cousin just started taking ninjitsu two months ago and he is taking his first test at his next class which is on next tuesday and he was asking me alot of quistions about my kungfu style and other martial arts. one thing he asked me was what level do you learn how to use weapons and from WHAT HE SAYS what level do you learn ninja stealth moves. PLEASE ANSWER HIS QUISTION BECAUSE HE KEEPS BUGGING ME KEEP IN MIND HE IS A SEVEN YEAR OLD SO DO NOT USE MANY BIG CONFUSEING WORDS. PLEASE ANSWER SO i CAN GET SOME SLEEP.

Do you understand that the art of ninja is the art of espionage?

 

It includes hand to hand combat, weapon combat, stealth, BETRAYAL, economics, disguise, escape, and evasion. All of which is used toward the goal of destroying an enemy force... or the enemy of whoever is paying you at the time!

 

I'm not saying it is an evil art or anything, just that it is not really something a 7 year old will ever truely learn. More the type of thing we teach to CIA operatives in the field! Tell your 7 year old cousin to stop watching too much TV and go to bed.

I was using weapons from the first lesson, as for Stealth and all the Naruto style stuff, that's a few weeks later

Take this as you will, songoku, but the saturation of your posts with smilies and capital letters often makes them less likely to be responded to seriously.

 

My question is this: is he actually taking ninjitsu or is he just enrolled in something like the "Little Ninjas" program so prevalent in many martial arts schools in America? These are just programs, often more like daycares, focused on teaching little kids some basic coordination using martial arts as the medium. Not that all of them are bad, but you will not be learning anything lethal there, as most of those kids simply lack the coordination to do things (not to mention strength, biomechanical precision, and mental advancement necessary to grasp all the concepts). This sentence was not meant to elicit examples of child prodigies or exceptions to the rule, so please leave them out...my whole point is that some kids may even think they are taking ninjitsu because of the names of the programs they take. They may not even know the name of the style they do. But, that is because they are kids, not because they are stupid.

hey may not even know the name of the style they do. But, that is because they are kids, not because they are stupid.

Same thing

shorin ryuu is right again!

[Son Goku the monkeyking]

Actualy it is a ninja academy me and mom both whent there and met and talked to the instructor who learned his ninja moves in I think tokyo Japan. but you are right about one thing my cousin did think he was taking karate. he did not know that he was taking ninjutsu untill the day we had brought him. but when when he found out that he was learning the ninja arts he was even more excited. But more importently you were right shorin ryuu he did not know what the hell he was doing at first.

 

well I'm out

 

HOLLA

In that case, tell him to either ask his instructor or look at the training manual, if there is one. It'll vary from training hall to training hall anyway.

do they have a website?

[Son Goku the monkeyking]

I do not know if he has a website because I only see him once every few weeks. I don't think he has a web site because he just opened up not to long ago.
