Newfoundlander: where can i learn ninjutsu for free? where can i find flash powder and salt peter as well?
ya the title asks it all so post and thx ^^|||Are you planning on making smoke bombs with salt peter? I bought some on eBay, but the shipping costs are generally very high. Some butchers stock it (used for smoking meat or something I think), as-well as garden stores (used for killing roots or something like that). If not some tomato or strawberry fertilizers contain a very high percent of it, and smoke bombs work fine with that too.
Does anyone know John Moorehead? He is from England, manages a restaurant, and practices Ninjutsu...?
We met in Dublin Ireland while on holiday and I lost all of his contact info...|||A bit more information might help - there are over 60 million people in the UK.
Where is his restaurant ?|||Yep, sure I know him. I know all 65 million people that live in the UK.
Where is his restaurant ?|||Yep, sure I know him. I know all 65 million people that live in the UK.
How and where can i train real ninjutsu?
If you live in Seattle you are in luck, there is supposed to be an underground school somewhere over there. I think you%26#039;re fascinated about it and want to learn more because you just say ninjutsu so widely. There are 19 main branches and 100%26#039;s of sub categories. Go to wikipedia and learn more about them. When you find the one you want research it on Yahoo. If you have questions on the meditation aspect or some basic techniques email me.|||http://www.realultimatepower.net/index4....
That%26#039;s a good site to start.
That%26#039;s a good site to start.
Ninjutsu real or commercialised?
Whats your views on ninjutsu is it still a viable art or just over advertised for money and movie interest.|||I%26#039;d say its both real and commercialised depending how deep you search for a genuine authentic club and lineage.
Ninujitsu is very similar to jiu-jitsu in the as far as certain techniques go, ie: tai-jitsu which looks just like jiu-jitsu to myself as I witnessed a ninjutsu class which was on an hour before my class in jiu-jitsu started at the james murray centre at Baillieston Glasgow). as I trained at two different venues my main one the (kelvin hall in glasgow ) and I was always an hour early for Baillieston as it was the other side of Glasgow from where I stayed at the time.
From my many observations watching tai-jitsu I noticed that after applying locks tai-jitsu seemed to favour striking the joint as a follow through and many other techniques similar but seemed based heavily on jiu-jitsu.
Yes the movies are over hyped and some books also but there are genuine clubs around check these links out.

Best wishes :)***|||uh|||That all depends on which way you look at it.
Some historians claim that ninjitsu never really existed as an art. The ninja passed their knowledge through their relatives and clan mouth to mouth. One could not speak about a single art as each tought their art from gathered experiences. It is also pretty uncertain whether or not the current styles of Ninjitsu tie in to the historical fighting styles of the Ninja, or are a 20th century development. The origins and contents of the art itself are mostly a mistery(mainly due to the secrecy of the ninja). There are schools that do indeed teach a viable art, but it%26#039;s safe to say that there%26#039;s a lot of mcdojo%26#039;s out there where %26quot;secret techniques%26quot; and other bullshido is taught|||still viable with a good sensei . good luck|||Very commercialized, but still real.
The problem is the real schools are hard to find.
The rule of thumb is real schools don%26#039;t give you unrealistic expectations. Anyone who says they%26#039;ll make you into a super-killer in four weeks is selling you a pail of b.s.
Another sign is I understand serious ninjutsu instructors actually do a lot of work to avoid the crazier students. So they don%26#039;t take in those obvious advertisements and may just have a small corner ad in the phone book, or simply rely on word of mouth. One instructor in one article said the biggest challenge in running a ninjutsu school was that they got the worst kind of weirdos who always wanted to seek them out; so they had to be careful before accepting a student.
So I%26#039;m thinking the flashier it is, the worst it is. Besides, when was flashiness ever a ninja virtue? Think about it.|||Well Hatsumi had done a lot fo reasearch into the fighting styles of the Ninja and its history and origin but alot of the modern ninjitsu techniques are taken from other arts simply because they are either more effctive or there just isn%26#039;t enough information about the Ninja%26#039;s style of fighting
Studying Ninjitsu doesn%26#039;t make you a Ninja just like if I were to study Krav maga it wouldn%26#039;t make me an Israely special forces soldier, it just a fun way to learn some self defence while dressing up in a Ninja suit or cammo pants|||ninjitsu is a real martial art mostly lost.
the magic side is there alchemy used for distraction etc.
aparently the various tools used by ninja did exist but films probably make a lot up or modify the ideas.
simply the martial art would be hard to recover (think it was like karate - each family clan had there own version) never mind how to use the tools with the correct technique|||Ha so,|||Ninjitsu is not viable on its own, you have to have other skills. It is a cool martial art for the movies.
Look into Thug-jitsu, practiced by Yves Edwards. He ripped off an awesome KO at this past Elite XC event. Jumping knee from a single leg attempt. (More impressive than anything Kimbo did)|||Ninjitsu is as viable as a martial art as any of the rest of them. Taekwon Do, karate, judo, etc. It all boils down to the practitioner of the art, though. Most people, particularly in the US, don%26#039;t have access to good traditional instructors who can teach the truly remarkable theories and techniques in an art.|||your name answers your own question. how mysterious is that?|||Both (YOUR NAME says it all... don%26#039;t you think?)|||Both. Ninjutsu Is Still Quite A Real Art. Although, Not A Mainstream Sport Like Karate, There Are Still A FEW Places Where True Ninjutsu Is Taught. It%26#039;s A Valid Martial Art. Also, Through Things Like Naruto, Ninja Are Portrayed To Have Magical Powers And That Stuff Is Way Overcommercialised. The Truth Of It Is That The Average People Had To Devise A Way To Fight Back Against %26#039;The Man%26#039; (Samurai). You Know, With Average Farm Tools And Stuff. They Got In, Did Their Deeds, And Got The Heck Out Of There. Those Were Real Ninja. Why Did The Koala Bear Fall Out Of The Tree? Because It Died!|||I think it is more commercialized today. I don%26#039;t think thye are getting the training like they would have in Japan. Everyone claims to be the only or last student trained by a Ninja.
How long has it really been since there was a Ninja?
I do believe that the training may have been handed down in the family, but it is watered down in America.|||That I cannot answer for it is a secret!|||People still have interest in Ninja movies??|||Truthfully I doubt you will find a ninjutsu school in your local area that hasn%26#039;t been commercialised and watered down to some degree. Eastern martial arts didn%26#039;t have a graded learning system as such until it was introduced to the west, many believed that such a structure diluted the purity of the art. Also large inpersonal classes are a faulting practice, most MA masters of the east take in very few students at a time.
Furthermore the purpose of ninjutsu isn%26#039;t really relevant in modern society, ninjutsu is the art of assasination why do you need that? 99% of people don%26#039;t require such an art.|||Still a very viable martial art.
Traditionally, ninjitsu practitioners (ninjas) were doctors or mortitians; i.e. professionals with a great deal of knowledge of the human physiology. They were very skilled in taking someone down quickly.
Now days, as a self defence martial art, it is still quite useable for a quick imobilisation for escape and even as a fighting style.|||REAL yet VERY commercialized!!! Happy international awesome ninja day! I know I know Not a real day but me and my ninja gang felt like being extra ninja- ish today.|||sd

Where can I learn Ninjutsu?
Can anyone tell me where I could be instructed in Ninjutsu? I know what it is, and for anyone who doesn%26#039;t know what ninjas are: they are the Greatest assassins ever! anyways I live in western mass, is there any place within that area?|||Is this why no one takes ninjutsu seriously? Over to you Bujinkan ninja!|||Apparently you don%26#039;t know what it is. First off, ninjas aren%26#039;t assassins. One of the many reasons why Hatsumi Soke changed the name of Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu to Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is because of people like you who watch too much Ninja Turtles and martial arts movies. You probably don%26#039;t have the slightest idea of what a real ninja is. I suggest you do some research to avoid looking like an idiot again. If you want to learn Ninjutsu because %26quot;they are the Greatest assassins ever!%26quot; then I highly recommend that you pursue a different martial art. This is why no one takes Ninjutsu seriously. The only place you can learn real Ninjutsu is in the Bujinkan. You might be able to find a Bujinkan dojo in your area but they%26#039;re not everywhere. We are rather strict about who we teach Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu to. Some dojos will not teach anyone under 18 and you can not have any criminal background. If there is not a Bujinkan dojo near you than there is a website you can go to as Shihan J has already pointed out (though it%26#039;s more difficult and still takes decades of training and there is only one master ninja. lol). It was created by Shihan Von Donk. His Taijutsu is OK sometimes and then other times he%26#039;ll do things that will make your jaw drop. I%26#039;ve heard nothing good about his online program and I do not approve of it myself. He%26#039;s a nice guy and he means well with his program but without an instructor to teach you, it%26#039;s crap. You seriously need to learn what a real ninja is before you go around trying to learn Ninjutsu. If you have any questions than you may ask me.|||well since you want to be the greatest you should go Straight to the source and cut out the middle man

Where is a dojo principals ninjutsu.?
Mainly Shinobi-iri, Intonjutsu, Hens艒jutsu, and Kayakujutsu. Don%26#039;t answer if you don%26#039;t know.|||Do you mean where you can find a dojo where ninjutsu is taught? If so, you%26#039;ll need to go to Japan for that. True ninjitsu only exists in a handful of dojo, such as the Bujinkan dojo in Chiba, which specializes in Togakure-ryu ninjitsu. Of course, they rarely accept Westerners. The only one I know if is Stephen Hayes, who took his grandmaster%26#039;s teachings and developed his own style (based on ninjitsu) called Toshin-Do.

Here%26#039;s the page on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjitsu
What is Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu ?
What are those three styles ?|||Ninjutsu - offensive/defensive ninja techniques used with Chakra. Kagebunshin, Katon Ryuha, etc.
Genjutsu - illusionary/evasive techniques. Causing people to faint, causing people to have nightmares, and making people think you disappeared into a tree fall under this category.
Taijutsu - hand-to-hand techniques that don%26#039;t require Chakra.
Aloha|||Japanese words for the various martial arts styles.|||they each pertain to the different Martial Arts disciplines of NinJitsu or the espionage martial arts primarily learned from the Lin Kuei or %26quot;Forest Demons%26quot; of Northern China who were the first to train in such disciplines and trusted very few outsiders.
Ninjas were often regarded as hired hitmen, well trained assasins or killers, or spies to get information, and thought of as criminals
It has closer ties to the Japanese as the term %26quot;ninja%26quot; has been unfortuneately been linked to for hundreds of years, as a boogeyman story to frighten children who didn%26#039;t behave.
while many of these techniques were taught and employed to evade capture, or to escape once captured, and these techniques are still out there, they are not mainstream knowledge for the public, instead more of the Ninjutsu or hand to hand combat knowledge has been taught in recent years.
there are several hundred techniques that include weather forcasting, disquise, and herbology (study of different chemicals in plants for a desired effect. example: using a mixture to paralyze a victim for a short period of time) that were also studied
Jutsu is a learned %26quot;technique%26quot; or %26quot;skill%26quot; in the art of the ninja, which many of the techniques that were taught, there are 18 major disciplines:
Seishin-teki ky艒y艒 (spiritual refinement)
Taijutsu (unarmed combat) **** (one of the disciplines you mentioned above)****
Ninja ken (sword fighting)
B艒jutsu (stick and staff fighting)
Shurikenjutsu (throwing blades)
S艒jutsu (spear fighting)
Naginatajutsu (naginata fighting)
Kusarigamajutsu (chain and sickle weapon)
Kayakujutsu (fire and explosives)
Hens艒jutsu (disguise and impersonation)
Shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods)
Bajutsu (horsemanship)
Sui-ren (water training)
B艒ryaku (military strategy)
Ch艒h艒 (espionage)
Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)
Tenmon (meteorology)
Chi-mon (geography)
so each of the 3 disciplines you asked about in your question figure into one of the disciplines above
the Anime series Naruto touches on some of the disciplines, but don%26#039;t go into detail of what they are as part of the comedy and mystique aspect of the show to keep viewers coming back to watch the next episode.
but to answer the question Genjutsu was basicaly using illusions or %26quot;magic%26quot; to confuse the enemy, ninjutsu is often used to say that it%26#039;s a technique that only a ninja would know, or perform that a %26quot;normal%26quot; person (meaning someone who hasn%26#039;t learned how perform the technique) doesn%26#039;t know how to do.

Genjutsu - illusionary/evasive techniques. Causing people to faint, causing people to have nightmares, and making people think you disappeared into a tree fall under this category.
Taijutsu - hand-to-hand techniques that don%26#039;t require Chakra.
Aloha|||Japanese words for the various martial arts styles.|||they each pertain to the different Martial Arts disciplines of NinJitsu or the espionage martial arts primarily learned from the Lin Kuei or %26quot;Forest Demons%26quot; of Northern China who were the first to train in such disciplines and trusted very few outsiders.
Ninjas were often regarded as hired hitmen, well trained assasins or killers, or spies to get information, and thought of as criminals
It has closer ties to the Japanese as the term %26quot;ninja%26quot; has been unfortuneately been linked to for hundreds of years, as a boogeyman story to frighten children who didn%26#039;t behave.
while many of these techniques were taught and employed to evade capture, or to escape once captured, and these techniques are still out there, they are not mainstream knowledge for the public, instead more of the Ninjutsu or hand to hand combat knowledge has been taught in recent years.
there are several hundred techniques that include weather forcasting, disquise, and herbology (study of different chemicals in plants for a desired effect. example: using a mixture to paralyze a victim for a short period of time) that were also studied
Jutsu is a learned %26quot;technique%26quot; or %26quot;skill%26quot; in the art of the ninja, which many of the techniques that were taught, there are 18 major disciplines:
Seishin-teki ky艒y艒 (spiritual refinement)
Taijutsu (unarmed combat) **** (one of the disciplines you mentioned above)****
Ninja ken (sword fighting)
B艒jutsu (stick and staff fighting)
Shurikenjutsu (throwing blades)
S艒jutsu (spear fighting)
Naginatajutsu (naginata fighting)
Kusarigamajutsu (chain and sickle weapon)
Kayakujutsu (fire and explosives)
Hens艒jutsu (disguise and impersonation)
Shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods)
Bajutsu (horsemanship)
Sui-ren (water training)
B艒ryaku (military strategy)
Ch艒h艒 (espionage)
Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)
Tenmon (meteorology)
Chi-mon (geography)
so each of the 3 disciplines you asked about in your question figure into one of the disciplines above
the Anime series Naruto touches on some of the disciplines, but don%26#039;t go into detail of what they are as part of the comedy and mystique aspect of the show to keep viewers coming back to watch the next episode.
but to answer the question Genjutsu was basicaly using illusions or %26quot;magic%26quot; to confuse the enemy, ninjutsu is often used to say that it%26#039;s a technique that only a ninja would know, or perform that a %26quot;normal%26quot; person (meaning someone who hasn%26#039;t learned how perform the technique) doesn%26#039;t know how to do.
and Taijutsu (as explained above) is unarmed or hand to hand combat.

What is so good about Ninjutsu?
It was an art practiced by the ninja of feudal japan, and come on, almost everybody at one point thought that ninja were cool.

http://www.bullshido.com/articles/ninjut...|||Visit a legitimate Bujinkan dojo and try it out. You%26#039;ll find it%26#039;s most effective despite what some folks might say. It%26#039;s real self defense, not a rules based system designed for sport and winning trophies.
Go in with a good attitude and try to stick with it.|||scott morris, enough said.|||From what I%26#039;ve seen, it%26#039;s as effective as any other martial art
Terms like %26quot;soft/hard%26quot;, %26quot;internal/external%26quot;, linear/circular%26quot; have been used to describe ninjutsu by many people. Depending upon the perspective of the person, it could appear to be any one, all or even none of the above. It is important to remember that the term %26quot;ninjutsu%26quot; does not refer to a specific style, but more to a group of arts, each with a different point of view expressed by the different ryu. The physical dynamics from one ryu to another varies - one ryu may focus on redirection and avoidance while another may charge in and overwhelm.
To provide some kind of brief description, ninjutsu includes the study of both unarmed and armed combative techniques, strategy, philosophy, and history. In many Dojos the area of study is quite comprehensive. The idea being to become adept at many things, rather than specializing in only one.
The main principles in combat are posture, distance, rythm and flow. The practitioner responds to attacks in such a way that they place themselves in an advantageous position from which an effective response can be employed. They are taught to use the entire body for every movement/technique, to provide the most power and leverage. They will use the openings created by the opponents movement to implement techniques, often causing the opponent to %26quot;run in/on to%26quot; body weapons.
Training progresses through skills in Taihenjutsu (Body changing skills), which include falling, rolling, leaping, posture, and avoidance; Dakentaijutsu (Striking weapons body techniques) using the entire body as a striking tool/ weapon - how to apply and how to receive; and Jutaijutsu (Supple body techniques) locks, throws, chokes, holds - how to apply and how to escape.
In the early stages, weapons training is usually limited to practicing how to avoid attacks - overcoming any fear of the object and understanding the dynamics of its use from the perspective of %26quot;defending against%26quot; (while unarmed). In the mid and later stages, once a grounding in Taijutsu body dynamics is in place, practitioners begin studying from the perspective of %26quot;defending with%26quot; the various tools/weapons.
In the early stages of training, kata are provided as examples of %26quot;what can be done here%26quot; and %26quot;how to move the body to achieve this result%26quot;. However, as the practitioner progresses they are encouraged to explore the openings which naturally appear in peoples movements and apply spontaneous techniques based upon the principles contained within the kata. This free flowing style is one of the most important aspects of ninjutsu training. Adaptability is one of the main lessons of all of these ryu.
Due to the combative nature of the techniques studied, there are no tournaments or competitions in Ninjutsu. As tournament fighting has set rules which compel the competitor to study the techniques allowed within that framework, this limits not only the kinds of techniques that they study, but also the way in which they will apply those techniques. The way that you train is the way that you fight. Ninjutsu requires that its practitioners be open to any situation and to be able to adapt their technique to ensure survival.
In the case of a Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Ninjutsu) instructor there a few points which one can use to identify him or her as a legitimate teacher
First: all recognized %26quot;instructors%26quot; of the Bujinkan Dojo will, in addition to their Dan grade (black belt), have either a Shidoshi-ho (assistant teacher - first to fourth Dan) or Shidoshi (teacher 鈥?fifth to ninth Dan) certificate/ licence from Dr Hatsumi. Only people with these certificates are considered to be qualified to teach his system (a Dan grade alone DOES NOT make one a teacher).
Second: in addition to these certificates/licences, all recognized %26quot;instructors%26quot; of the Bujinkan Dojo will possess a valid Bujinkan Hombu Dojo Shidoshi-kai (Bujinkan Headquarters Dojo Teachers Association) for the current year. These cards are issued each year from Dr Hatsumi to those recognized as %26quot;instructors%26quot;.
These points will help you if you are looking at training with someone from the Bujinkan Dojo. Beyond that, it%26#039;s a case of %26quot;buyer beware%26quot;.|||Ligament and tendon damage will end fights quickly, same as cutting off an oxygen supply to the brain.|||of course its historical lineage is dubious... its ninjutsu... the way of going unpercieved... i would never trust an art that teaches you stealth ans espionage if there were historical records everywhere telling me how stealthy they were... thats just plain stupid..

Is chakra real and if so how do we use ninjutsu and stuff?
i need to no i know so many hand signs from naruto and i could use them in the real world|||Yeah, Its real. How do you think Jesus could walk on water? Look man, you need to know how to properly channel your chakara. The reason the Naruto kids could do it is because there families have been practicing it for hundreds of generations, so they channel it in about 13 years. Your family most likely has repressed it, but its still there. Give it 65+ years, youll be able to do it. Better get started!|||Whats chakra? Ninjitsu is the deadly art of stealth assasains and you really shouldnt be doing it unless you are going to assasinate somebody.

Chakra is real, but performing ninja skills by summoning a lightning blade is too ridiculous.

anything that teaches that or is heavily based on it. any help would be greatly appreciated|||There are many %26quot;ninjutsu%26quot; schools around as it is quite a mainstream martial art these days. Check out: http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html for some of the schools in your area, and if not email the ones in your state as maybe they know somebody close to you. The myth of a secret school or hidden master is quite a fantasy, like any martial art find a good school, put your time in, train hard, and you will do well. Good luck in your search.|||okay this was already asked along time ago most yes there are probably schools everywhere but they are secret because lots of ninjas is illegal and well ninjas are very secretive you will have to find them on your own

Simply put the following
Bujinkan (hatsumi soke and grandmaster)
Genbukan ( Tanemura an ex student of hatsumi)
Jinenkan (manaka an ex student of hatsumi)
There are many others and im sure with a goggle here and there you will find them. My only advice is dont train with anyone unless they are part of the above 3 organisations. Stephen hayes was once part of the bujinkan but he%26#039;s now doing his own thing. Only these 3 organisations teach techniques from the traditional ryu ha. Some are more traditional than others. It just depends on where you want to go go with your training. Only train with registered shidoshi%26#039;s or shidoshi ho%26#039;s that are licensed.
Be very careful when it comes to ninjutsu. There really arent that many people around that understand what its all about and there are some first class A1 clowns on the internet. Below are some links that should provide you with some general information

Remember the ninjutsu side of what is now practiced today is very little compared to the rest. In order to learn ninjutsu or ninpo you have to understand bojutsu first! If you want to wear black Pj%26#039;s and sneak around in the dark then pick another art because thats not real ninjutsu.
But to be honest you really need to train with the shihans in japan to fully understand it.

What is ninjutsu ?
and i mean for real not naruto stuff...
what%26#039;s the difference between ninjutsu and martial arts, because i read somewhere that it exists|||Ninjutsu (忍術, Ninjutsu?) sometimes used interchangeably with the term Ninpō (忍法, Ninpō?), started out as a set of survival skills that were used by groups of people who lived in Iga Prefecture of Japan. They were self-reliant, and had a strong affinity with nature.
These techniques, used to hunt and fight, eventually developed and became the strategic base of the ninjutsu martial arts. The ninja clans used their art to ensure their survival in a time of violent political turmoil. It also included methods of gathering information, non-detection, avoidance, and misdirection techniques. Ninjutsu can also involve training in disguise, escape, concealment, archery, medicine, explosives, and poisons.
Ninjutsu is a martial art.|||Ninjutsu is exactly that. Something that is only effective in Naruto, and movies.|||Ninjutsu is a form of martial art that was mainly used by assasins in japans samuri era, It is a stealthy form of combat that is used to attack not self defense and they use a variety of weopons not just one or two.|||Its a form of martial arts that focuses on lethal attacks, and balance.

Wat is the nine cutting finger of ninjutsu?

I take it you are referring the nine seals used in kuji in practices which were RIN, KYO, TOH ,SHA, KAI, JIN ,RETSU ,ZAI ,ZEN. They are basically a form of meditation using the fingers of the hands and chanting to represent different mind sets. These are no longer practiced in modern day ninjutsu. They were also used by the samurai class and have there origins in Mikkyo religion. There are still forms of kuji that are practiced today that come from the Goykko Ryu school but even these are hardly ever seen. Most of what is practiced is taijutsu as the western world seems to find it difficult associating fighting skills with human psychology which is what kuji is really all about. There are methods of kuji that can be applied to ones tecnique but this goes way beyond what can be explained here and can only be learned from a high ranking shidoshi.
There is some truth behind the garbage you see on TV but I%26#039;m afraid none of it is magic unless of course you confuse magic with psychology.
If you are interested in this sort of stuff you would be better advised looking into Buddhism and not ninjutsu
Best wishes

Who do you think would have the best sexy ninjutsu: Jiraiya the pervy sage or Kakashi?
Jiraiya,because he has a telescope so he pretty much spies on women all the time,so he know what they look like. Also Jiraiya is the one who wrote the books for Kakashi to read so,he think about women a lot to write a book about it.
Then again Kakashi is known as the copycat ninja,so anything is possible.

(naruto) What takes more chakra ninjutsu or genjutsu???
What uses more chakra ninjutsu or genjutsu??|||Depending on the level and how much usage of chakra is used within the ninjutsu or genjutsu can vary,so depending on either one they could more or less chakra. Ninjutsu would probably use more chakra then any other else,as there are many different various of ninjutsu as well as how much skill and chakra it take to acutely master and use them.
Ninjutsu such as Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - Shadow Clone Technique,are one of the most high level jutsu%26#039;s to use,at the same time because of this it does require a large amount of chakra for it to be used and sustained,depending on how many clones are made will require more chakra,because it divides the chakra between each clone. For Naruto this isn%26#039;t a problem as he has more then enough chakra to support to use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu,and even Kakashi has said that Naruto has more chakra then him,this could also be besides Naruto normal chakra,but also because of the Kyuubi chakra as well. However,the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu technique does have its drawback as well as all the exhaustion the clones receive are sent back back to the original user,but on the other side,the user learns what the Kage Bunshin%26#039;s have.
However,genjutsu such as the MS used my Itachi would take much more chakra then it would of any normal genjutsu or anyother ninjutsu for that matter.
Naruto Rocks!!!!!|||Like everyone said, it depends...for example, even a great ninja like Itachi and Kakashi, after using sharingan (genjutsu) for a while they get really exhausted, which means it requires a lot of chakra. But then again, using taju-kakebunshin (ninjutsu) for Naruto can be a chakra-consuming thing if he%26#039;s already tired, since the particular jutsu is to divide up chakra into multiple shadow clones. So yeah...depends.|||genjutsu if you are an experienced user and plus it depends what level of genjutsu (Itachi%26#039;s make him a little blind each time)
Ninjutsu same thing (depends what level you are using it at) like kage ne bushu vs summoning the frogs. So both is the same.

Want to learn a little about ninjutsu and to-shin do?
Just thought I%26#039;d paste some info from skhquest.com in hopes of providing accurate info for those with ninja or ninjutsu questions.
Due to misrepresentation in movies and media by the late 1980s, the art of Japan%26#039;s ninja was so misunderstood that the words %26quot;ninjutsu%26quot; or %26quot;ninja%26quot; blocked many people from considering training in our schools. The image of Japan%26#039;s authentic ninja had become so tarnished that it seemed time to bring in a new wave of understanding for the 21st Century.
The ninja arts have been misunderstood throughout Japan%26#039;s history. In the 1800s, grandmaster Toshitsugu Takamatsu avoided awkward attention by referring to his ninja arts as happo-biken .
In the 1900s, Masaaki Hatsumi came to call his ninja martial arts practice budo taijutsu.
Taking the tradition into the first century of the 2000s, Stephen K. Hayes refers to his ninja art as To-Shin Do, of which he and his wife Rumiko are An-shu directors of the Kasumi-An
At the heart of the martial techniques that we teach is the depth heritage of the original Togakure ninja invisible warriors. SKH Quest students are introduced to the original ways of the Togakure ninja through training in the highly practical physical, mental, and strategic skills of To-Shin Do.
What is the difference between To-Shin Do and Bujinkan training?
To-Shin Do is best explained as a way of training for self-defense and personal development that embodies everything the Bujinkan has to offer, PLUS a whole collection of training methods and insights that are important for 21st Century American students.
Obviously, fights are different in modern America than they were in 1500s Japan. Masaaki Hatsumi has made it quite clear that it is not the job of Japanese masters to attempt to translate classical combat lessons into relevance for countries and cultures foreign to Japan. That is our job, and Stephen K. Hayes%26#039; genius is his ability to eliminate the need for all the guesswork when it comes to translating classical lessons into vibrant modern relevance. An-Shu Stephen K. Hayes has a unique ability to teach the classical exercises in ways that allow us to apply the essence of the kata to modern attack situations.
An-Shu Stephen K. Hayes has said for years, %26quot;To-Shin Do is the greatest tribute I can pay to my teacher Masaaki Hatsumi. Training with Hatsumi Sensei in Japan opened my eyes and heart to vast realms of warrior truth that were inaccessible in the martial arts scene of late 1960s America. After immersing myself in training with Hatsumi Sensei in the 1970s and 1980s, my inspiration was bubbling over. This stuff was incredibly valuable, and I was captivated by the idea of translating the gift of Hatsumi Sensei%26#039;s lessons into a form that could serve my own culture and people back in America.%26quot;|||Well this answer obviously isn%26#039;t for you since you thumbed down any of my answers that actually dispute this.
If someone REALLY wants to know about %26quot;Ninjitsu%26quot; they can read this well researched and verified article instead of your propaganda that was written by frauds.
http://www.bullshido.com/articles/ninjut...
The reader should be aware that while Masaaki Hatsumi%26#039;s Lineage stems from a man named Toshitsugu Takamatsu, that there are reports that efforts to prove the existance of Takamatsu%26#039;s own named Ninjutsu teacher have been unsuccessful. Given that this missing master would have been alive in Modern Japan. (Post Meij restoration, starting in 1868) and Japanese society loves paperwork, there should be some independant documentation establishing his existence. The absence of such evidence has called the existence of Takamatsu%26#039;s teacher into question.|||Hi there
The main difference between To-shin do and the arts of the bujinkan, jinenkan and genbukan is that Stephen Hayes has added a more modern fighting application. You could compare it to aikido and tomiki aikido. To-shindo students still train in the same traditional ryu as the others but apply some of the techniques differently. The only draw back is that if you choose to train in To-shin you will not have any association with any of the hombu%26#039;s in Japan.
Again you will read posts about whether this art is real or has any foundation. The truth is only one person really knows for sure!
If you are lucky enough to train with anyone who has trained with Hatsumi for several years see how they move and compare them to the rest of the people out there. You will have the answer your looking for.
And thank god it aint Judo!
I really do wish people would do there home work before posting their views on something they know little about.
As for bullshindo.net some comments are valid and some regarding what is practiced have come from a uninformed source. As to the arts we practice not being koryu. Again do your home work. What do you think hontai takagi yoshin ryu is?
Speaking of Koryu most modern martial arts arent koryu either. So you won%26#039;t see any schools of karate or judo on any of the lists.
But of course everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Like all things if you ask the right people you will get the right answers.
I always say ninjutsu is what you want it to be. If you want it to be black masks and throwing stars then that%26#039;s all you will see.
But what you won%26#039;t be able to see is the wonderful traditional arts that we train in.
All serious students no longer call it ninjutsu for this reason. We dont want the attention we just want to train. It%26#039;s only a very small part of what we do anyway.

Yamabushi, who is homeless itinerant Buddhist monk usually grouped is one of their fashion style to camouflage in public.
http://www.kouka-ninjya.com/column/colum...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamabushi
Other camouflage fashion are for example as merchant, lonely Zen priest so-called Komuso, magicians, street performers and Monk begger so-called Takuhatsu etc. Their main purpose was spying against enemies or anti-establishment factions.
Ninjutu itself is quite similar among all schools. You may imagine rough sketches through popular Hollywood movies. It is somehow exaggerate though.
(sorry, but its Japanese only)

Does Ninjutsu incorporate grappling?
I want to study Ninjutsu. Not just for the martial arts training but also because I find the history and culture fascinating. There is a Brazilian jiu jitsu school nearby that I was also interested in. My question is does ninjutsu incorporate any practical grappling? If not then I%26#039;m going with the BJJ school.|||Ninjutsu is the art of being stealthy, and technically not a fighting martial art at all. If there is a ninjutsu school nearby, you should find out whether it is actually a ninjutsu school or whether its a taijutsu school. taijutsu is the %26#039;ninja%26#039; fighting style. One of the most common and established ninjutsu/taijutsu systems in the west is Bujinkan Taijutsu. Taijutsu is a multi-ranged style that focuses to some extent on all four ranges of fighting. If you are looking to do grappling and groundwork exclusively, you are better off going with a Jujutsu / Brazilian Jujutsu school.|||Ryu Hayabusa = Grapple MASTA!
Im a newfoundlander where can i learn ninjutsu? (online, ebooks, etc.....) and where can i learn taijutsu?
title says it all lol so please answer and thx to whoever does ^^|||Hi there
Dojo with registered instructor? Yes you can learn it.
Online? Most definitely No.
You can do what countless others do and search youtube but 90 percent of whats on there is complete and utter garbage. And without an instructor how do you know what%26#039;s real and what isn%26#039;t?
There are tons of stuff on-line and many books and DVDs available but again how do you know what%26#039;s real?
Most of whats out there for the general public to see is garbage. Including books by some very well known people.
You%26#039;re looking for techniques from the ryu ha. This is something only a shidoshi would know.
Seek a registered Shidoshi from either the Bujinkan or Jinenkan.
Best wishes

Is it to late to learn Ninjutsu at age 18-19?
If you are dedicated and are intrested?..|||Stpehn K. Hayes didn%26#039;t start until he was 25.|||Ninjitsu is such a suck balls art. It%26#039;s so passified. Ninjas were outlaws, assasins. They killed people, they stole ****, they worked behind the scenes to change things.
What are you morons gunna do sneak up on your cat and giggle about it? FAGS Report Abuse
|||Nah dude, it%26#039;s never too late to learn ANY Martial Art at ANY age, it was said earlier that shidoshi Stephen K Hayes learned it @ 25 yrs old which is true and he is now well into his late 50%26#039;s or early 60%26#039;s. and Ninjitsu is NOT a dead art (why must people who are so uninformed interject their opinion on what they know nothing about? **cough* cough, ninedemonsgod*cough*cough**)
As long as you stick with it, it%26#039;s cool. I%26#039;ve been a Martial Artist for the better part of 15yrs (Tang Soo Do and Hapkido) So trust me while Ninjitsu is not a a %26quot;popular%26quot; martial art, it is out there, and there are several schools that%26#039;d be more than happy to teach you.|||Not to late its never to late to learn an art... I started when I was 13-14... I am 16 and still learning... Ninjutsu is a good at.

It%26#039;s not an art where you get quick promotions....it%26#039;s not an art that you have a million belts in, and it%26#039;s not an art that does a ton of silly Kiai! screaming for no bloody reason....
It%26#039;s an art that teaches survival mentality, combat mentality, and a number of....generally lost elements that transcend just fighting that many martial arts have lost in the dust.
Here%26#039;s some info for you : (it%26#039;s copied from one of my other posts....didn%26#039;t feel like re-typing it all again.)
_______________________________
While there are elements of Ninjutsu still existing in certain branches of Japanese Koryu Bujutsu, Yagyu Shinkage Ryu (柳生新陰流) for example headed by the infamous %26quot;sword saint%26quot; Yagyū Muneyoshi Sekishusai (柳生宗厳)....the only existing martial arts system out of Nippon that teaches Ninpo in it%26#039;s entirety is the Bujinkan, headed by Soke (headmaster) Masaaki Hatsumi 初見良昭, who recieved his rank of Soke from Toshitsugu Takamatsu (高松寿嗣) the 33rd Soke of the 9 ryūha lineages. Termed the %26quot;Mongolian Tiger%26quot; due to his active combat experience against Chinese Gung-Fu boxers in China.
Toshitsugu Takamatsu is considered to be the %26quot;last combat ninja%26quot; by the Bujinkan.
According to historical accounts, his family had both samurai class and ninja roots. Toshitsugu Takamatsu studied under various masters of several ryu, and as a result, became the %26quot;only man ever to master all aspects of ninjutsu%26quot;.
When he was still a young man, Takamatsu gained his notoriety by %26quot;singlehandedly stopping a small riot%26quot;. When he was older, he was involved in espionage in Manchuria and, according to Masaaki Hatsumi, was in connection with Motojiro Akashi. Returning from China, he became a Tendai-shū abbot at Mount Hiei.
He also had ties with the Soke of the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū (I%26#039;m not sure which Soke it was : so I%26#039;ll omit a name) founded by the infamous Musashi Miyamoto (宮本 武蔵) and in turn, tied in dual-sword wielding techniques into the Bujinkan compendium...
titled as such (Nito Seiho.)
Takamatsu passed on his knowledge and legacy to Masaaki Hatsumi, who founded the Bujinkan to continue Takamatsu%26#039;s teachings.
The Bujinkan (Warrior Spirit Training Hall or House of the Divine Warrior), or more properly the Bujinkan Dōjō (武神館道場.)
And even with the Bujinkan, only Togakure-ryū Ninpō (戸隠流忍法) is taught openly....but Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō (玉心流忍法), and
Kumogakure-ryū Ninpō (雲隠流忍法) are not.
Bujinkan training :
The training is generally referred to as taijutsu, and is composed of both armed and unarmed methods of fighting. Unarmed methods are broken down into three primary categories, dakentaijutsu (striking forms), jūtaijutsu (grappling forms), and taihenjutsu (body movement skills). Much of the basic taijutsu taught to beginners comes from six primary lineages in the Bujinkan compendium, namely Kotō-ryū, Gyokko-ryū, Shinden Fudō-ryū, Takagi Yōshin-ryū, Kuki Shinden-ryū, and Togakure-ryū.
A large variety of weapons are taught, such as sword (including daito, wakizashi and tanto, bamboo shinai, wooden bokken, iaitō a flexible aluminum replica sword that holds no edge, or swords made by soft modern materials are employed for safety such as padded bokken), staffs of various lengths (bō, jō, hanbō), rope, kusari-fundo (weighted chain), kusarigama (sickle with chain), yari (spear), kamayari (spear with 2 rearward hooking blades), bisento (similar to the naginata), kyoketsu shoge (similar to a kama except it has a dagger point and a rope of several feet attached to an iron ring), jutte (shaped like a sai with just a single prong, at a smaller distance from the shaft of the weapon) tessen (iron fan), naginata (Japanese halberd), kunai (a bladed digging tool), as well various form of shuriken including bo-shuriken and senban shuriken. Weapons are categorized into four primary classes - sticks, blades, flexibles, and projectiles.
Now, the principles of Taijutsu taught for our classical weapons translate into modern firearms as well. An example of this : I%26#039;ve had a concealed carry liscence for years.....but through the principles I was taught via my Shihan, I%26#039;ve learned how to draw/aim/fire and move with the handgun at a much higher peak performance level with more efficiency and accuracy.
18 disciplines of combat taught within the Bujinkan :
Seishin-teki kyōyō (spiritual refinement)
Taijutsu (unarmed combat)
Kyudo (archery)
Ninja ken (sword fighting)
Bōjutsu (stick and staff fighting)
Shurikenjutsu (throwing blades)
Sōjutsu (spear fighting)
Naginatajutsu (naginata fighting)
Kusarigamajutsu (chain weapons)
Kayakujutsu (fire and explosives)
Hensōjutsu (disguise and impersonation)
Shinobi-iri (Stealth and Infiltration methods)
Bajutsu (Horsemanship)
Sui-ren (Training in Water)
Bōryaku (Military Strategy)
Chōhō (Espionage)
Intonjutsu (Escaping and Concealment)
Tenmon (Meteorology)
Chi-mon (Geography)
Nine ryūha lineages of Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu:
Gyokko-ryū Kosshijutsu (玉虎流骨指術)
Kotō-ryū Koppōjutsu (虎倒流骨法術)
Shinden Fudō-ryū Dakentaijutsu (神伝不動流打拳体術)
Takagi Yōshin-ryū Jūtaijutsu (高木揚心流柔体術)
Kuki Shinden-ryū Happō Bikenjutsu (九鬼神伝流八法秘剣術)
Gikan-ryū Koppōjutsu (義鑑流骨法術)
Togakure-ryū Ninpō (戸隠流忍法)
Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō (玉心流忍法)
Kumogakure-ryū Ninpō (雲隠流忍法)
The only 3 of those that are ninjutsu schools are the last 3, and only Togakure-ryu is openly practiced. Soke prefers to keep the others relatively untaught until frankly...you%26#039;re mature enough for them. I think that%26#039;s a safe way of saying it.
There are derivative off-shoot systems called :
Jinenkan (meaning 自然舘 %26quot;Hall of Nature%26quot;), headed by Fumio Manaka (formerly a student of Soke Hatsumi%26#039;s.)
Genbukan (忍法武芸道場、玄武館), meaning %26#039;the place that nurtures the martial artist%26#039;, headed by Shoto Tanemura (formerly a student of Soke Hatsumi%26#039;s.)
Now, when it comes to the Genbukan and the Jinenkan....their claims of validity have been highly disputed.
Supposedly, Shoto Tanemura has been claiming to have obtained Menkyo Kaiden, a Japanese term meaning %26quot;license of total transmission%26quot; of ranking in several schools within the Bujinkan compendium : Kotō-ryū Koppōjutsu (虎倒流骨法術) and
Shinden Fudō-ryū Dakentaijutsu (神伝不動流打拳体術) for example.
As stated above, these claims have been greatly disputed and dismissed by Soke Hatsumi.
That%26#039;s about all I have on the subject....I hope it helps.
try looking in the %26quot;yellow pages%26quot; section of http://www.winjutsu.com for a Dojo directory.
Now, there are a lot of flakes within our art....sadly, but there are a ton quality instructors as well...just do your homework.
ninpo ikkan!

Why Silat, Kungfu and ninjutsu,seems to be the only martial art that involve a lot of body movement compare ?
to other martial art |||When you mention %26quot;kung fu%26quot;, which style are you referring to? Many of them are very linear and have very little movement, while others take a circular approach.
Silat and Budo Taijutsu (Bujinkan %26quot;ninjutsu%26quot;) both use angles that a lot of martial arts neglect in training (though practitioners may not in application). In the Bujinkan, there%26#039;s a great deal of emphasis on the 45-degree angles, and how to use them to put you within striking distance while out of the opponent%26#039;s line of attack. What little exposure I%26#039;ve had to Silat demonstrated a less rigid, more flowing, nearly circular approach to the same concept.|||I think I saw Silat and Kungfu on %26quot;The Human Weapon%26quot; and from what I could tell they were mainly garbage. As for ninjutsu I have a lot of knowledge about that one and it is a lot of garbage as well. In ninjutsu you move a lot, because your goal is not to win a one on one fight, the way you might expect it in the octogan. In ninjutsu your goal is to survive an encounter with numerous opponents and you are %26#039;allowed%26#039; to use any kind of weapon. If for instance you are fighting two swordsmen and all you have is a 6 foot bo staff, then it is not wise to just stand there and try to defend with quick jabs. It is smart to spin that bo staff and run like hell hoping to slam a sword out of someones hand. In ninjutsu you also try to get multiple opponents to trip over each other and run into each other, while you evade them. The martial arts have different goals.|||because you have not done enough research on the topic yet
What about Tai Chi, Aikido, even Karate? Those practitioners use their entire body when executing technique. I don%26#039;t mean beginners, watch some one from their style with over ten years of training. Using the power of the whole body is the goal of every martial art. Each style and each teacher used different ways to get you there.|||I disagree with this. Wing Chun Gung-Fu, is a style that uses no wasted movement. For example, one hand and arm are used to deflect, and simultaneously strike with the same movement.

Sorry, vid%26#039;s can%26#039;t demonstrate the actual power that can be released, nor the seemingly effortless moves, nor the non-wasted motion.|||because moving targets are harder to hit .....dummy. and btw ninjutsu isnt garbage.the most deadly art it was made to survive and it has.

Each style and each teacher used different ways to get you there.|||I disagree with this. Wing Chun Gung-Fu, is a style that uses no wasted movement. For example, one hand and arm are used to deflect, and simultaneously strike with the same movement.

Which style of fighting is more effective in real life: krav maga or ninjutsu?
I trust Israelis more than ninjas so I say Kr av Maga|||Assuming you%26#039;re talking about %26quot;ninjutsu%26quot; as what%26#039;s taught in the Bujinkan/Genbukan/Jinenkan, then I%26#039;ll share my experience.
In my opinion, overall, ninjutsu is more effective. I%26#039;ve done both, and enjoyed both tremendously. Krav Maga tends to downplay the %26quot;why%26quot; of the way things work. You%26#039;ll work on throwing the punch, striking, and doing it repeatedly, but not so much what makes strikes powerful. You tend to learn responses to situations.
In ninjutsu, there%26#039;s a focus more on making your responses natural, and allowing you to respond more fluidly to attacks. There%26#039;s a lot of very good, very sound principles. Becoming a capable martial artist in it really means letting go and learning how far to move to be just out of range of attack.
Simply, there%26#039;s far more to learn from ninjutsu.
Keep in mind, this was my experience, and I happened to find ninjutsu more effective. I%26#039;m not saying that it would be the case for everyone. If you dedicate yourself to one over the other, that will make it the more effective style for you.|||There is both good and bad here but will add my two cents as an instructor and teacher.
I do not terach either style but have some familiarity with each.
On a general basis for personal protection in real life I would go with Krav Maga. Reasons being it is a currently used system for law enforcement that evolves with the times. It has made the shift from fighting with certain styles and weapons to those that are used currently.|||Darn good question, one for which there really is no answer, some of the ninjutsu data is historical, where as data on Krav Maga is ongoing, as long as there is war.
I really don%26#039;t know much about ninjutsu, in Krav Maga we have breaks and locks, many of which come from other arts. In my class I am starting to use Muay Thai roundhouse kick as opposed to the traditonal savate roundhouse kick we started with. In Krav Maga our primary strikes from Boxing as do our primary stances. For me this works better than the strikes from the Asian arts, I am of European descent and mechanically they work better for me.
Much of what we use in combat arts, we take from other arts and make our own. My only personal testimony is that I had 10 years of close quarters battle, some of it hand to hand and quiet and I am still alive, all 5%26#039;6%26quot; 145 lbs of me.
There are so many arts, I teach Krav Maga and study Combat Sambo, which is also a decendent of many arts, with a basis in judo, aikijujutsu, hapkido and pieces of other arts from the Far East to Europe.
Much of what you asked depends on the practioner, how much the individual wants to survive, I say survive because that is what a combat art is about, survival, not points.
Good luck in your quest to find this answer.|||It is the person not the style. This is why only the best people are picked to be in any best of the best org.
You could have a great street fighter beat someone that knew krav maga or ninjutsu. So then is streetfighting a better style?
If you are good then you are good and whatever you learn will be effective. It is all about being able to adapt and a adapt on the fly. Some people have it some people don%26#039;t.|||A question without a good answer. The classic what stile of fighting is superior in a given situation. It is the fighter and how they train.
Often the question revolves around arts that are esoteric as well. So there are few if any experts to reply.
So I have to say in my experience it is the fighter not the art that most often prevails. Of course not to offend anyone I think there are some arts out there that are pure bunk so I will refrain from mentioning them.|||Depends on how good the person is with the particular art.
But. If you knew nothing about fighting, Krav would get you where you wanted to be, training wise - quicker than the other. Its designed to be simple, easy to learn and brutally effective.|||You will ultimately decide which is more effective by training hard and making it part of your life. Go watch a couple of classes and see what grabs you (pun intended)

While Ninjas are all very good and powerful, Ninjutsu is like a lower form of magic, using chakra rather than magical power. Chakra runs out quicker, and is less easy to refuel. most magic users have accute senses so they would be able to detect the Ninja even through a disguise, or cover jutsu, and they would just toast everything in sight until they got the Ninja. REAL ninjutsu is nowhere near as powerful as REAL magick either.
I would also say for these reasons that magic users would win:
-A Ninja%26#039;s powers are limited. A magic users (except for limitation on how much they can use it) have no limit to the variety of things they can do. i.e. a ninja may only do fire like Sasuke but Lulu would just Blizzaja his ***.
-A ninja relies heavily on physical weapons. If a magic user walks around in a shield, nothing doin%26#039;!
-You cannot corner a magic user unless they have no magic left. A ninja%26#039;s techniques can be figured out and overcome, trapping them.
-Magic doesn%26#039;t fail, whereas jutsu can effectively go wrong if the slightest thing is out of place.
The only downside is spellcasting takes longer than most jutsu. Unless it%26#039;s a very complicated move, in which case the Mage would just blitz the ninja in the middle of their macarena ^_^

How long does it take to become an expert in ninjutsu?
You%26#039;d be looking at three to six years to reach first dan. This doesn%26#039;t make you an expert though, it%26#039;s just an indication that you have a strong handle on the basics. To become an expert you%26#039;ll have to study for years after this point.
Expert status, while not an official title, could be conferred to someone who is qualified to teach (notice I said QUALIFIED to teach, not just ANYONE who teaches).
For the post about the single class, that%26#039;s not right with the law. An %26quot;expert witness%26quot; should always be indisputably a expert in their field. If you were brought to trial with a single class and asked to testify, the judge would have discretion to kick your *** to the curb because you aren%26#039;t really an expert.
There is a big difference between expert and having slightly more knowledge on a topic than the average joe.
Don%26#039;t worry about how long it takes to become an expert. If you are interested in the art then begin your training. You%26#039;ll have years and years to develop your technique. It really is a life long hobby and/or philosophy, and that applies to any martial art.
Good luck with your training.|||You can not truly be an expert at Ninpo. You can only spend your entire life training in the art. Ninpo is a life long martial art. The closest thing to an expert would be the Bujinkan shihans and, of course, Hatsumi Soke himself.|||What%26#039;s expert? The beauty is in the adaptability of martial arts. If an art requires you to be young or strong, it%26#039;s lacking something. Your body changes with age, and thus, so does your art. You can become quite proficient in just a few years.
You%26#039;ll never stop learning if you keep trying. The final test of it all will be in dying with dignity and without fear for the unknown.
I would say that so long as you look toward being an expert, you will not be one. When you stop worrying about frivolous titles and honorifics, you%26#039;ll have taken the first steps.|||I have a black belt in RBWI and a 2nd degree black belt in American Ninjutsu.

Expert status, while not an official title, could be conferred to someone who is qualified to teach (notice I said QUALIFIED to teach, not just ANYONE who teaches).
For the post about the single class, that%26#039;s not right with the law. An %26quot;expert witness%26quot; should always be indisputably a expert in their field. If you were brought to trial with a single class and asked to testify, the judge would have discretion to kick your *** to the curb because you aren%26#039;t really an expert.
There is a big difference between expert and having slightly more knowledge on a topic than the average joe.
Don%26#039;t worry about how long it takes to become an expert. If you are interested in the art then begin your training. You%26#039;ll have years and years to develop your technique. It really is a life long hobby and/or philosophy, and that applies to any martial art.

Why don't the Shaolin or the Ninjutsu masters fight in Vale Tudo or U.F.C?
I don%26#039;t intend to insult the Shaolin or the Ninjutsu masters. But I just wonder why don%26#039;t they participate in tournaments like Vale Tudo or U.F.C?|||Shoalin kung fu and Ninjitsu are both martial arts. UFC is a sport, based on martial arts.|||Most true Masters realize the boundaries placed on them when they step into a UFC contest. So the competition is pointless. Training to fight and training to perfect techniques require two different mind sets.
Ninjutsu is an art of stealth and surprise- not designed for out right combat--did not say it%26#039;s not effective. Shaolin is for the focus of internal energy and self control. Not really a MMA kind of thing.|||Shaolin monks don%26#039;t fight for anything other than self defense or sparring.
1) They take oaths that don%26#039;t allow them to compete. It%26#039;s part of they%26#039;re belief system. They think it%26#039;s linked with large egos and steroids and other crap.
2) Chinese citizens are not in physical possession of their passports. They would very rarely have the money - or permission - to just pop over to the USA and fight at will, unless this were a large government-sponsored or accepted event.
3) The government has a lot of influence over what happens at Shaolin. A lot of the skilled monks have reportedly left or been expelled. Add to the fact that one of main attractions to Shaolin is it%26#039;s mysteriousness, the Chinese government are very unlikely to give them up.
A lot of people say they only practice performance wushu but that%26#039;s not entirely true. We do know that they practice Sanda. Look up %26#039;Fight Quest%26#039;. We don%26#039;t for sure if they still practice genuine traditional chinese martial arts or how good their Sanda skils are. They definately practice Qigong though.And you can%26#039;t take a trip to the Shaolin Temple and expect them to teach you everything. If you really want to learn from them, then likely, you%26#039;d have to become one of them and take the oaths. Which would mean you can%26#039;t compete.
I don%26#039;t know about Ninjutsu, though.
[edit]
I guess I should%26#039;ve added the fact that the Shaolin Temple was destroyed quite alot of times and most believe that the Shaolin Monks don%26#039;t really practice the tradiiton stuff, especially when a government opposed to tradition has a strangle hold over them.|||Shaolin Monks are display artists. What they do nowadays has nothing to do with fighting, it%26#039;s a cultural/artistic type thing. Their style has its origins in real fighting, and they sure are amazing athletes, but they don%26#039;t train to fight anymore and haven%26#039;t for I%26#039;d imagine over a hundred years. Their stuff has more in common with Jackie Chan than MMA fighting.
That said, the Chinese San Shou team does train at the Shaolin temple apparently, and recent UFC fighter Pat Barry trained with them. San Shou in general seems to be a potentially prolific breeding ground for new MMA fighters, but modern Shaolin monks have little to do with fighting and haven%26#039;t for some time.
As for ninjutsu masters, it%26#039;s simple: they don%26#039;t exist. If they ever did, most if not all of what they knew has been lost.
Ninjutsu basically is for the benefit of Asiaphiliac Westerners. There is some %26#039;ninjutsu%26#039; in a couple of koryu jujutsu ryu, but it%26#039;s not %26#039;make yourself invisible flip off walls kill armies with bare hands%26#039; stuff. The Bujinkan material and so on was largely made up over the last few decades. With that said, some actual fighters have ninjutsu in their background (Steve Jennum is the most often mentioned, I believe Jeremy Horn started with a Bujinkan offshoot, and there are others I can%26#039;t think of right now) so there are decent teachers under the Ninjutsu banner, but the effective stuff is just good fighting fundamentals and nothing you won%26#039;t find elsewhere.
In short, there are no secret superfighters or revolutionary secret techniques out there. It%26#039;s all a movie/video game mythology. There%26#039;s not much that isn%26#039;t already known, both because the human body can only fight and be damaged in so many ways, and because historians have already been through most of the old surviving martial arts material. MMA fighters make their living off fighting, if the Shaolin monks were as awesome fighters as their reputation, every fighter on the planet would train there. Imagine what someone like GSP earns and how much he spends on training. A trip to China would be no problem for him if he saw any actual value in it.
Not everyone who can fight is in MMA of course, there are good fighters all over the place who don%26#039;t compete, but they aren%26#039;t on some higher plane of martial achievement, they do the same stuff everyone else does, more or less. Put it this way, if I told you there%26#039;s a taxi driver in downtown Bangkok who%26#039;s the greatest Formula 1 racedriver in the world but doesn%26#039;t compete because it%26#039;s against his religion, would you believe me?|||hey there, i%26#039;m from malta and i travel quite a bit
i can%26#039;t speak on behalf of ninjitsu, but i do know a bit about china and shaolin
i went to yale for 2 years, and there are some VERY smart chinese students there. the chinese i met could do calculus in their head, recite the Oxford dictionary word for word w/o looking at it, very intelligent. but when i discussed martial arts w/ them, NONE of them could fight. i could kick their @ss with one hand and that really surprised me, b/c china is the birthplace of martial arts.
but then one girl explained to me, nearly all the overseas chinese people here in the united states, in malta, in europe, in latin america, are either businessmen, or students. you know, students sent over to learn, study, trade, work all involving academia. they%26#039;re not hard core kung fu masters, farmers, manual laborers sent over to kick @ss at will. realistically, the US government wouldn%26#039;t approve this type of imigration. it does not stimulate the US economy. so let me break the %26quot;myth%26quot; that all chinese people are smart and one can bet your money in getting an A+ copying off their homework.
so the reason why chinese don%26#039;t compete in UFC here in America is due to financial reasons. they%26#039;re stuck in China, working hard, making $130 US dollars in Beijing, they%26#039;re capitol, so think how much folks make in the country side. $940 chinese yuan a month dude!
but, at the same time don%26#039;t get cocky and assume America%26#039;s UFC can beat everyone. I worked in hainan island for a publishing house and went to see SANDA fights. it%26#039;s basically chinese police vs. american police competing in kickboxing w/ throws %26amp; sweeping. and 90% of the time the little chinese dudes win. second, I always thought Thailand%26#039;s legendary Muy Thai kickboxing was tough. their national champion got his @ss beat by some young san shou fellow.
anyway, i believe IF china%26#039;s communist gov%26#039;t wanted to train, finance and send over fighters to beat gracie, tank, fedor, shamrock, tito, whatever. i think they could do it. because with 1,400,000,000 people, they have a bottomless gene pool to select their athletes from. i still remember their Olympics where China got something like 8 golds in weightlifting (all of them), 4 golds in boxing, 3 in Taekwondo, another 3 in Judo and wrestling, while the US didn%26#039;t even get a bronze in any of these categories, which are the primary components of mixed martial arts
so, maybe the communist gov%26#039;t would do that some day and you and i could sit down watch some entertaining fights. but at the moment? it%26#039;s a pity they%26#039;re too busy making money.|||ROFLMAO! I love some of the answers here...
Crackity has the best answer by far.. I will add some further elaborations.
I also like lolcats explanation about Chinese citizens...
Here are my reasons.
1. Anyone with the claim of %26quot;Master%26quot; is either very old, or generally full of themselves and not truly a %26quot;master%26quot;. Since there isn%26#039;t a 70+year old division in the UFC, and the desire to see really old guys attempting to fight each other isn%26#039;t really high, you don%26#039;t see them.
2. What is claimed as the Shaolin has very little true ties to the original monastic order. Secondly, they do mostly performance based stuff and what sparring and fighting they do is generally reserved for the younger. It has nothing to do with oaths, or that they would kill. The purpose for their Martial Art is fitness, and through this fitness helping acheive a higher state of being and peacefulness. At least as the original montastic order. The current Shaolin is more of a tourist trap/government propaganda type of thing than anything else.
3. There are no true Ninjitsu masters. Hatsumi is the closest that they have, and in general his lineage isn%26#039;t verified. There is no historical evidence that any of the styles supposedly tied to Ninjitsu existed before he brought them to light. The texts and scrolls he supposedly possesses have never been verified or looked at by any authority.
That being said he is a very talented Martial Artist. Essentially I believe he has created his own style, much more than inherited something tied to ninjas. I don%26#039;t think that it is a weakness as many of his techniques are indeed effective. However, I think it is a codified system of Martial Arts that he invented.
So being that Hatsumi, the only supposed master of anything remotely based in Ninjitsu is also like 78 years old, I also don%26#039;t think there is a need for him to compete.
4. The large majority of those people claiming study in any of those arts, rarely hard spar, much less fight in competetion. There are a few who have, including early UFC guys, Steve Jennum and Scott Morris, while they claimed Ninjitsu, they were actually representing an artform called Robert Bussey%26#039;s Warrior International. Who was at one time did study Bujinkan but felt he had surpassed them and that they were outdated...
5. Both of the main draw of these arts is that they are clouded in supposed mystery. In truth even if there was a well known and highly celebrated member of the Bujinkan or other Ninjitsu based community or Shaolin Kung Fu, they would make more money never competeting and talking about how they would only kill and selling their DVDs, seminars and the like, then fighting in relative obscurity and getting trounced.
7. Considering San Shou and Sanda are supposed to be the competetive forms of Kung Fu, but look exactly like Muay Thai with throws, what does that really lead you to think of as far as the practicality of the animal styles, complicated movements and Qi Gong of Kung Fu in a combat environment. Sanda is supposed to be Kung Fu, where is the Eagle Claws?
8. In short, masters are too old, and these styles rely on mystique. They rely on the mystique that there are hidden techniques and that by training in an ultra exclusive club that you can kill easily with your bare hands, without ever having to learn how to take a punch to the face or hit another person.
Keep in mind there are exceptions to every rule. There are great Bujinkan schools out there that actually spar, fight, and train in a realistic manner, just as there are Kung Fu schools that do the same.
But by in large, you find way more fake schools touting Shaolin and Ninjitsu then you find good ones.
In my opinion.
Umm Lucifer you might want to fact check a little there dude..
US Won a Bronze Medal in Boxing, China won a gold, a silver, and a bronze. So a slight sweep there...
US won 2 Bronzes, and a Silver, in Tae Kwon Do, China won 1 gold, 1 Bronze..
In Wrestling US Won a Gold Medal, 2 Bronze, China won a Silver and a Gold. (it can be noted All medalists for China were women)
In Judo we won a Bronze medal this year, we have never won gold in the sport.
Only place where you were right was weightlifting, they did win 8 golds there. But that is not %26quot;All of them%26quot; it%26#039;s closer to half of them, but still damn impressive. Weightlifting is also a well known sport in which the US is weaker in. (Pro weight lifters can make more money in other sports in the US, so it is not our strong suite).|||Probably the same reason I don%26#039;t care to fight in UFC. So called %26#039;Ultimate Fighting%26#039; defies the entire essence of martial arts, which is honor, courage, humility, self control, etc.
Many of the fighters I%26#039;ve observed in UFC display arrogance and hostility. Completely NOT what martial arts are about. Martial arts are merely 10% physical. In other words, I believe UFC gives martial arts a bad name.
Plus, what they train to do is very basic and barely scratches the surface as to what can be done to the human body. They don%26#039;t get into nerve strikes, skin manipulation, body meridians, internal strikes. . .none of that. I just don%26#039;t care for it.|||i admire ninjutsu, i think they don%26#039;t participate due to the fact that their discipline might forbid it.. or they might kill some one accidentally while fighting...
from what i know ninjutsu and shaolin were developed to kill the opponent with the least moves possible. and i emphasize the word kill..|||Same reason you don%26#039;t see Krav Maga in UFC. Just because arts aren%26#039;t geared toward UFC or Vale Tudo don%26#039;t mean they%26#039;re not effective.|||there was a ninjutsu master in one of the first ufc programs. can%26#039;t remember who knocked him out.|||Maybe it%26#039;s because UFC fighters have been found guilty of drawing out fights to make it look good on TV. Several UFC memos have been found or stolen that discuss having the fight last as lon as possible to draw a large pay-per-view. Why would a Shaolin or Ninjutsu master fight for a company that tells them how long the fight should last? I don%26#039;t think they would like that.
Ninjutsu is an art of stealth and surprise- not designed for out right combat--did not say it%26#039;s not effective. Shaolin is for the focus of internal energy and self control. Not really a MMA kind of thing.|||Shaolin monks don%26#039;t fight for anything other than self defense or sparring.

That being said he is a very talented Martial Artist. Essentially I believe he has created his own style, much more than inherited something tied to ninjas. I don%26#039;t think that it is a weakness as many of his techniques are indeed effective. However, I think it is a codified system of Martial Arts that he invented.
So being that Hatsumi, the only supposed master of anything remotely based in Ninjitsu is also like 78 years old, I also don%26#039;t think there is a need for him to compete.
4. The large majority of those people claiming study in any of those arts, rarely hard spar, much less fight in competetion. There are a few who have, including early UFC guys, Steve Jennum and Scott Morris, while they claimed Ninjitsu, they were actually representing an artform called Robert Bussey%26#039;s Warrior International. Who was at one time did study Bujinkan but felt he had surpassed them and that they were outdated...
5. Both of the main draw of these arts is that they are clouded in supposed mystery. In truth even if there was a well known and highly celebrated member of the Bujinkan or other Ninjitsu based community or Shaolin Kung Fu, they would make more money never competeting and talking about how they would only kill and selling their DVDs, seminars and the like, then fighting in relative obscurity and getting trounced.
7. Considering San Shou and Sanda are supposed to be the competetive forms of Kung Fu, but look exactly like Muay Thai with throws, what does that really lead you to think of as far as the practicality of the animal styles, complicated movements and Qi Gong of Kung Fu in a combat environment. Sanda is supposed to be Kung Fu, where is the Eagle Claws?
8. In short, masters are too old, and these styles rely on mystique. They rely on the mystique that there are hidden techniques and that by training in an ultra exclusive club that you can kill easily with your bare hands, without ever having to learn how to take a punch to the face or hit another person.
Keep in mind there are exceptions to every rule. There are great Bujinkan schools out there that actually spar, fight, and train in a realistic manner, just as there are Kung Fu schools that do the same.
But by in large, you find way more fake schools touting Shaolin and Ninjitsu then you find good ones.
In my opinion.
Umm Lucifer you might want to fact check a little there dude..
US Won a Bronze Medal in Boxing, China won a gold, a silver, and a bronze. So a slight sweep there...
US won 2 Bronzes, and a Silver, in Tae Kwon Do, China won 1 gold, 1 Bronze..
In Wrestling US Won a Gold Medal, 2 Bronze, China won a Silver and a Gold. (it can be noted All medalists for China were women)
In Judo we won a Bronze medal this year, we have never won gold in the sport.
Only place where you were right was weightlifting, they did win 8 golds there. But that is not %26quot;All of them%26quot; it%26#039;s closer to half of them, but still damn impressive. Weightlifting is also a well known sport in which the US is weaker in. (Pro weight lifters can make more money in other sports in the US, so it is not our strong suite).|||Probably the same reason I don%26#039;t care to fight in UFC. So called %26#039;Ultimate Fighting%26#039; defies the entire essence of martial arts, which is honor, courage, humility, self control, etc.
Many of the fighters I%26#039;ve observed in UFC display arrogance and hostility. Completely NOT what martial arts are about. Martial arts are merely 10% physical. In other words, I believe UFC gives martial arts a bad name.
Plus, what they train to do is very basic and barely scratches the surface as to what can be done to the human body. They don%26#039;t get into nerve strikes, skin manipulation, body meridians, internal strikes. . .none of that. I just don%26#039;t care for it.|||i admire ninjutsu, i think they don%26#039;t participate due to the fact that their discipline might forbid it.. or they might kill some one accidentally while fighting...
from what i know ninjutsu and shaolin were developed to kill the opponent with the least moves possible. and i emphasize the word kill..|||Same reason you don%26#039;t see Krav Maga in UFC. Just because arts aren%26#039;t geared toward UFC or Vale Tudo don%26#039;t mean they%26#039;re not effective.|||there was a ninjutsu master in one of the first ufc programs. can%26#039;t remember who knocked him out.|||Maybe it%26#039;s because UFC fighters have been found guilty of drawing out fights to make it look good on TV. Several UFC memos have been found or stolen that discuss having the fight last as lon as possible to draw a large pay-per-view. Why would a Shaolin or Ninjutsu master fight for a company that tells them how long the fight should last? I don%26#039;t think they would like that.
