SoulAssassin Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 Hello everyone, I am new to the board but have been reading it for awhile. I feel everyone possess's great knowledge here and I was wondering if anyone may know where I can find somewhere to learn Ninjitsu. I live in Pennsylvania on the eastern side near Philadelphia. Thanks -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently"
SoulAssassin Posted March 7, 2003 Author Posted March 7, 2003 Okies I read some other posts on ninjitsu and have come to the conclusion that most frown or laught at it. Im not looking to be stealth rogue freak or be some whacked out guy throwning a grappliing hook over someones roof or run around through shadows scareing people. I just heard there is good unity there and I like the training. I read on some site they have training camps for the summer that start at like 10,000-15,000 and that seemed umm a little steep? Any help appreciated.. -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently"
Kyle-san Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 From what I've experienced it's very hard to find a respectable Ninjutsu dojo (as with a lot of other styles), but they are out there. In fact I was just talking with the instructor from the local Ninjutsu dojo the other day and he seemed fairly competent. Basically you just have to look at what's available in your area, then go find out if you feel comfortable with it. Personally, I would avoid those 10-15 k seminars.
monkeygirl Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 Wow and I thought $80 for a weekend Bujutsu seminar was steep... But then again I'm a tightwad. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Kensai Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 That does seem a little pricey, I get 16 hours of Aikido for about £150-170 (GBP)
SoulAssassin Posted March 7, 2003 Author Posted March 7, 2003 Where I live there is a limited selection of schools. mostly tae kwon do, tang soo do, karate. I would like something more exotic. (ninjitsu) but anything relating to that would be good for me -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently"

Of course, I'm fairly biased on that opinion.
SoulAssassin Posted March 7, 2003 Author Posted March 7, 2003 yes there is a jujitsu school, though the guy charges a pretty penny (hes very good, supposebly he was taught by the gracies) and he only teaches student that he thinks are worthy. -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently"

Oh, so it's a Brazillian Jujutsu school. I meant a traditional one. BJJ is wonderful for ground work, but it's lacking in other areas. The traditional schools usually have less focus on sport and ground work, but make up for it by being very well rounded.
SoulAssassin Posted March 9, 2003 Author Posted March 9, 2003 I dont think we have them :-\ All I have around here is, Tiger Shulmans (blah!) Action Karate (hahaha) and American Karate Institute (please...) all regular tae kwon do, or tang soo do, blah.... -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently"
