i want to learn shaolin kung fu since its the most accessable art cuz ninjutsu and bushido there are few schools on that style of martial arts|||Bushido is a code of conduct and way of life and a lot more (hard to explain), It is not a martial art.
Ninjutsu is an awesome martial art IF you can find a good instructor. It is littered with McDojos!
The problem with Shaolin Kung Fu is has basically become nothing more than Wushu performance arts that have very little to do with actually defending you self.
Each style has great stuff to offer. I suggest trying some schools out and see what you think. On the other end of the internet we can not tell you what is a good school and what is not. So look for a school that you like and can get along with the people there. Look for an instructor that is more interested in your well being and not his wallet.
At 11 years old you are hardly done growing. Just find something you like and go from there. you will learn how to adapt any martial art to yourself as long as you work hard at it|||Ninjutsu is very good regardless of stature.
It%26#039;s not hard to find, you%26#039;re just looking in the wrong places. Samurai martial arts are Bujutsu, not Bushido. Both Bujutsu and Ninjutsu are taught in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Find a Bujinkan dojo in your area. Try looking on here http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html
If you want effectiveness, take Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. If you want %26quot;cool%26quot; take Kung Fu.|||win chun was made to be used by people with small frames as it was started by a nun through years of trial and error practice against big farmer men|||Ninjutsu as a martial art seems to have died out in the seventies with the death of Fujita Seiko, the last Iga ninja. There are a lot of claims to teach it that are utter bullshit, and then there%26#039;s the Bujinkan, who have enough evidence behind their claims to be the only people who can claim even a %26quot;maybe%26quot; in terms of teaching ninjutsu. It is, in theory, an organization that teaches an amalgamation of nine martial arts, two of which are historical ninja schools. By their own admission, one of these de-emphasizes unarmed martial arts technique, and the other is not something that%26#039;s taught by the style%26#039;s founder any more.
In short, Ninjutsu is almost certainly dead.
Bushido is not a martial art at all, but a term for Japanese martial philosophy.
Shaolin Kung Fu has many of the same problems as Ninjutsu, compounded by the fact that records on precisely who taught who and what schools and subschools survived are substantially poorer in China than they are in Japan. Nobody%26#039;s quite sure what the story is there: what%26#039;s certain is that what is presently being taught at the Shaolin Temple is *not* traditional Shaolin kung fu, but a smattering of Shaolin conditioning exercises coupled with contemporary wushu, which is a different beast altogether than anything recognizable as a traditional Chinese martial art.
To summarize: a small person would be totally unable to train in two of the three things you mentioned, and would be fantastically lucky to be able to train in the third. :-)|||Jeet Kune doo or eskrima|||Is Bushido a martial art? I thought it was a samurai code of conduct. As for ninjutsu vs kung fu, it depends. Many arts are adaptable to most body types. That said, if you join a ninjutsu dojo full of 6 ft army guys, you will have a very different idea of whether it%26#039;s good for small people than if you join a dojo in Japan.
Ideally, I%26#039;ve found that you may want to find an instructor that is close to your body type, or who understands that some techniques work differently if you are short vs if you are tall and can give you appropriate advice.
Ninjutsu is a Japanese art, and many of the techniques can be made to work for someone of a tall or short stature. Kung Fu is also adaptable this way. I suppose my point is that whichever art you choose, find a good school with a good instructor. Once you develop your skills, you will discover ways to adapt the art to your strengths.
add: Okay, same thing if you%26#039;re thin. Neither art is about physical strength. I personally think Kung Fu looks cooler, but Taijutsu is more mentally challenging. It%26#039;s a personal preference. They both use weapons, but they are not the same weapons. The both have strikes, blocks, and kicks, but vary greatly as well. Watch some videos and pick the one you like better.|||bushido is not a martial art
ninjutsu is mosly mcdojos
shaolin kung fu, was destroyed a centry ago, and is now just for entertainment|||I%26#039;m not really sure about any of these but
Brazilian jiu jitsu was created for smaller people to defend themselves from larger people.
