sentry Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 I've been reading up on ninjutsu lately and it's my understanding that the x-kans don't spar. Is this true ? [ This Message was edited by: sentry on 2002-07-31 14:57 ]
MonkeyNinja Posted August 1, 2002 Posted August 1, 2002 Dear Sentry, Please forgive my ignorance, but: WHAT is a x-kan? MonkeyNinja
sentry Posted August 1, 2002 Author Posted August 1, 2002 X-kan is the term that refers to the 3 main styles of ninjutsu: Bujinkan,Genbukan,Jinenkan
Kensai Posted August 1, 2002 Posted August 1, 2002 I studied Bujinkan for a time. We dont spar, for the simple reason that we would kill each other.
sentry Posted August 1, 2002 Author Posted August 1, 2002 How do you know you would kill each other if you never sparred ? [ This Message was edited by: sentry on 2002-08-01 06:21 ]
shuriken_girl Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Ninjutsu=art of assasination Hmmm I wonder whythey'd kill eachother using their techniques...*cough**cough* Hey can you tell us something about your training? Like if you learned to walk silently etc.? *jumps around like a hyper little kid* I have a cool ninja T-shirt by the way. And does anyone know what my name means? (It *basically* means that I like ninjas...) *-----*-----*Shuriken: art of Japanese blade throwingShorin-ryu karate with influences from White Crane Kung Fu15 years old
Kensai Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Yes I did do stuff like that, we did silent walking, some do tree clinbing techniques, and the 1001 uses of a sword other than cutting people. But I changed to Aikido, because I wanted to be a goodie Samuari, instead of a baddie evil ninja............ . They are all very nice really.
The_Yak Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 What were 1001 uses for a sword? Just a few examples would be great. Was steak knife one? J/K The Yak"Patience is the key to understanding""The man who is first is often last"
Kensai Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Sure, one we did was tieing it to the end of a rope and throwing it into a tree and usind it to hook on to it. Using the hand guard as a short of step to get over walls. Basic uses like a spade. umm hang, let me think.............. ummmmm oh oh and for breaking open doors, using different parts of teh sword to beat people with. Very interesting stuff
