it just goes to show you how impractical most of those highly regarded ancient martial arts are when you have someone actually fighting back and punching you in the face. All that kung fu and karate chop "hi-ya" horseshit goes down the drain in a hurry. Only a few "traditional" martial arts are even worth talking about. "Block with your forearm when someone attempts to strike you"....useless...save it for the mcdojo idiots.
your talking out your a$s, you don't know what your saying.


REAL ninjutsu don't look nothing like that clown Scott Morris, thats when fruads trys to imitate the art.

believe me ninjutsu don't say "hi-ya"

actually not only does ninjutsu had someone trying to punch them in the face, they had swords coming at them and other kinds of weapons from samurias.

you can talk about other art being all about just forms, but ninjutsu actually went to war. all those other art, has been kept inside a dojo or in a competition event. the art of ninjutsu was use in war.

ninjutsu is complete its the GODFATHER of art, brazillian jujutsu and the gracies and other arts and other clan worldwide are B@stard offsprings of Ninjutsu. but noun will be as complete as ninjutsu. in a competition event these other forms may look good,but they come short of true knowledge of dominance. because when it counts the most and that is when your life is on the line....ultimately ninjutsu are killers. thats why ninjutsu dojos are band.
So i presume making these claims you study a style of the art and are quite proficient in it? None of these claims are based on reading stuff i hope.

Can you answer my question to you then? About which style you study. Bujinkan,genbukan or maybe another form which i'm not familiar with.

I would like to have an argument put forward other than "it was taken to war", lots of things were taken to war. Taekwondo is the art of the korean army. Jui Jitsu is the art of the samurai, military combatives were developed during the world wars for unarmed combat in the face of the enemy. I'd like to know your views on the techniques and which ones you think will work best when faced with a fully resisting, 200lb opponent that wants to tap dance on your head. If it was that good a martial art it would have been explored a bit more fully by now and used more extensively.

Do you know Brian McArthy? If you don't know him then i would suggest you don't know an awful lot of what you are talking about.

edit: *actually come to think of it you are American so chances are you might not have heard of him*

if you do then i take it all back and i am all ears to your argument being reinforced that Ninjutsu is the be all and end all of reality fighting systems.

As i said, I am not art knocking, thats not my thing. I think there is something positive to be taken from every martial art. 9 times out of 10 anyway its not the art but the teacher.

Over to you
