swooshfinn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I must be teh exception.... cause I have been talking to a guy here at my apartment complex the last 2 nights... and he is a green belt and says that classes won't cost me a dime, except if I decide to stick it out and we all decide to pitch in for a big weapon that the group doesn't already own. I think I might give it a try.... not sure if I'll stick it out without some health insurance..... broken bones and some serious bruising going on there..... I can't afford a broken bone.... that is one reason I was so comfortable with Kuk Sool Won, I knew my limitations and pushed myself just a little farther than those limitations, but never to the brink of seriously hurting myself.

Kamidake Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I can see the occasional bruise happening, but broken bones, if it happens frequently, sounds like the teacher may not know how to mix skill levels properly. I'd steer clear of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshfinn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I think that whenever I get the chance to (depending on work schedule) that I will at least check it out, maybe the guy i have been talking to might be over hyping that aspect of it up a little too much Kuk Sool Won Jae JahJah Ddi (Brown Belt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Yeah, sounds like the teacher is irresponsible. I've never been hurt while doing this stuff, bruised and banged up a little. Take it as slow as you need to.

Fenris-wolf Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Ahh, have to tell everybody this! Our Muay Thai club did some sparring with a Ninjitsu club last weekend and I am pleased to say it was no McDojo. The Sensei's a really cool guy who is very open minded about his teaching. Some of the guys there obviously went there thinking "Cool, I wanna be a Ninja!" , but all the seniors were good guys. What was really funny was there was this one guy who would not go soft! (It was light sparring -so contact but not smashing each other). He kicked one of our guys really hard in the ribs where he was still sore from his fight. He pi**ed off a lot of people and got a couple of our guys matching him for force. The sad bastard couldn't cope with getting what he got. The best bit was when our instructor stuck him with one of our best fighters and gave him an extra-long round! It was hysterical. The Ninjitsu Sensei just winked at us.

Treebranch Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Fernis Wolf were they Budo Taijutsu students or Ninjutsu? Just curious.

Treebranch Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Ninpo Taijutsu or Budo Taijutsu has huge similarities to Jujutsu, because many of the Budo Taijutsu Ryu are Jujutsu, but not all of them. The Ninjutsu Ryu are not Jujutsu based, they are very different.
