Well basically i am living in an area where it is very hard for me to find somewhere to do ninjutsu and im very shy about joining classes any way but i really have a strong desire to learn ninjutsu so i can protect myslef and i realy think it is one of the greatest martial arts out there...by the way im from Harrow, London...
I was wonderin is theres any useful:
Online sites that can teach me (preferablly free and with videos)
DVDS in stores like HMV etc.
and also while im here anyone who has done it or does it, is it worth doing above other martial arts
please answer approprietly this is very important to me|||I am a black belt in Ninjitsu. I can%26#039;t tell you anywhere to learn, as I live in America, but I can tell you very positively that it is the greatest and most practical and effective martial art out there. But if you%26#039;re looking for just self defense, you might want Wing Chun or Krav Maga, as half of Ninjitsu is climbing and stealth techniques. But it has many up-sides. You will get a workout like no other, and come out with some serious muscle. You will be able to become virtually indetectable. You get to work with Shurikens(throwing stars), throwing spikes, the Katana(Japanese sword), Nunchucks, and many more weapons. I Also, it%26#039;s fun to be able to tell people that you%26#039;re a Ninja. It will test you physically and mentally. The question at this point should not be,%26quot;Should I learn%26quot;, but instead,%26quot;Am I ready.%26quot;|||its not a great martial art for self defence as so much time is spent on traditional katas and weapon training, however, it is great for self confidence and being more aware of your body and how it works. it won%26#039;t turn you into a turtle.
Leave the non face to face instruction alone. get out and explore. try it - its the only way to know if its for you.
I studied with bbd and really enjoyed it

it%26#039;s in harrow too!|||In a dojo ^.^|||From one who knows, martial arts have one extremely big flaw and that is that they are based on rules. Which means that when one practices them, he or she must pretty much fight with another that practices the same art so that they may diffend themself properly against each other. Not to mention how there are so many moves and rules that one is almost unable to remember them all. If you want to learn to defend yourself there is a course out there that will teach you nothing but the meat and potatoes of what you need to save yourself in any situation out there. It is called Target Focus Training..
After taking martial arts for a fair amount of years, I never really found myself confident in the use of it. Then I went to TFT and can sincerely say that I am confident in any situations and I mean anything from a knife attack to multiple attaquers. The teacher%26#039;s name is Tim Larkins and you can find him on the net under www.targertfocustraining.com. His product is not cheap, but woth every penny. You can practice in the safety of your basement with a friend and instead of taking years to master it litterally takes no more than weeks.
So take my advice on this one. Take a look at his products and you%26#039;ll never need anything else. You won%26#039;t regret it.|||Hi there
I live in the uk and have been training with the bujinkan for over 8 years now. Good instructors are very hard to come by over here. You Basically have 3 organisations that teach ninjutsu. They are the Bujinkan, Jinenken and Genbukan. The current grandmaster is Hatsumi who is head of the Bujinkan. The other two groups are ex shihans of his that started their own training organisations. To put you in the picture we train in 9 schools or ryu ha but only practice the fighting techniques of 6 of them. When complied together they form the basic movement of what is generally called budo taijutsu. Ninjutsu is only a very small part of what is practiced and the principles learned from the other ryu ha need to be applied in order to fully understand the concepts.
I%26#039;m not from London so i%26#039;m not sure of whats out there. Your best bet is to try some of the links below and ask about instructors in your area in one of the forums.

http://www.jinenkan.co.uk
http://www.genbukan.org
http://www.winjutsu.com
http://www.kutaki.org
As for learning from books, DVD%26#039;s etc no martial art can be learned just by these alone. They are great as a supplement or for clarification on forms etc but thats about there limit. You have to train to apprieciate things like kukan, juppo sesho etc.
As a general rule i would only recommend you buy books written by Hatsumi or Manaka. Both masters have also released many DVD%26#039;s covering the 9 ryu ha. Most can be purchased on Ebay or by contacting the suppliers. In Europe the best place to buy them is from budomart.

Forget youtube as a learning source. Whats on there most of the time is complete and utter garbage unless you know where to look. Without a shidoshi to guide you how will you know?
As for the arts effectiveness? Well you need to speak to someone whos trained in this art. Preferably a 5th Dan or above to get the answers. Judo, Karate or Krav manga it aint.
Good luck
