I%26#039;ve been really interested in Ninjustu for a while and I%26#039;m finally getting around to finding a dojo to study. I have a few questions before I do for anyone who has knowledge of Ninjutsu.
1. How do I know if the school is a legitimate Ninjutsu school?(I%26#039;ve heard there are many fakes)
2. Is ninjutsu a practical way to defend yourself or would I be better off with kickboxing and bjj?|||Where do you live? There are many schools that are good around the world but impossible to make a recommendation for you unless you state your location.
In terms of being practical that is up to how you train ANY given martial art and if you are capable of learning your strengths and weaknesses as well as understanding how to avoid those situations.|||I can%26#039;t speak for all, but most of ninjutsu schools are fake. Just a ride to the ninja bandwagon and made some kids feel good that they are a legitimate ninja now.
California is full of good schools. I%26#039;ll suggest taking either a silat or escrima class. They%26#039;re good for self defense since those art specialize in weapons. Stick and knife is something easy to carry (telescopic baton) or find on the street (tree branches) and always a great equalizer in a fight even against multiple enemy.
Silat has limited ground fighting techniques, and you will do well to suplement that with a BJJ.
Mastering a stick fighting with good supplement of BJJ will complete your self defense technique.|||1, Most ninjutsu is fake its your best bet to stay far away
2, yes youd be better off w/ BJJ/kickboxing|||It is dead today
unless u want to learn the americanized version which doesnt compare
18 skills
look below|||http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html
Follow this link.
Find the Bujinkan Dojo nearest you.
Watch a class, If they will not let you watch , don%26#039;t sign up.
Hopefully they will let you take your first class for free, if not you have a choice to make.
Find out how much it costs, do they have long term contracts, are they going to try to force you into a long term or Black Belt contract.
If they try to hard sell you into a long term / Black Belt contract, RUN, unless you are willing to commit and follow through. I say RUN!!!!
Be candid with the instructor about his or her certifications. Do some research. Talk to some of the students. Ask aboiut the dojo history, How long have they been around, What is ther lineage? Check it on the web if possible.
If you decide to, Sign up.
Train Hard, Ninjutsu has some very practical techniques, and also traditional techniques/ weapons training that will seem to be more historical in nature.
It can be very effective..
Your abilities will be directly related to your diligence, commitment and hard work, the instructors ability to teach, and their knowledge base.
You can do it! Go for it!!!!! Only if you find a passion for it after your research.
Kickboxing and BJJ are sports. They can and do work in some cases in the street, depending on the level of the confrontation.
Remember, a sport has rules, the street has none if your life is in danger.
Sports will not teach you nor let you gouge out eyes, rip skin, break fingers, arms, elbows, knees, etc. Use surrounding articles as weapons to equalize your situation, etc. You fight like you train.|||1. They only way to find out if a school is legit is to do some research. Visit the school and then research the information they gave you.
2.Ninjitsu can be an effective self defense, just realize they train to go for the kill. So you have to know when to pull back.
As far as kickboxing and BJJ for self defense, BJJ as it is taught now, is a sport. You don%26#039;t want to be rolling around on the ground for 5 to 10 minutes trying to choke someone out or submit them.
To quote Rocye Gracie when asked what if there is more than 1 attacker, %26quot;You Lose%26quot;.
Not to mention rolling around a padded mat with padded gloves is a lot different than a parking lot covered with trash, broken glass, and crap all over the place with bare knuckles smashing the blacktop if you miss your punch.|||The only organization that teaches authentic Ninjutsu is the Bujinkan. Find a Bujinkan dojo in your area by going to www.winjutsu.com as Stillcrazy said. I couldn%26#039;t have answered better myself.
Ninjutsu is very practical. Many police officers I know use it and find it very effective in real situations. Kickboxing and BJJ are good but I feel they would best be studied for sport and competitions. I have noticed many weaknesses in BJJ. No martial art is better than another, but I much prefer Ninjutsu myself.
If you have any questions about Ninjutsu or need any help finding a good dojo, feel free to ask me.
