Secondly, realize that they are showing you only the basic technique. This is a starting point.

Integrated into the art is an understanding of how to create openings and how to off-balance the man so that counter attack is not possible. Yes, in the internet pics and videos, they are stopping after only on punch. Yes, they can adjust and punch again. Yes, that would make for a fanstastic movie fight seen. There is so much more beyond that. These movies are only showing you how to get out of the way. The first rule of martial arts is not being there. You are not going to find many advanced techniques for any art on the internet. There aren't any ninjitsu instructors on the internet that I personally go to for information. They just aren't showing you anything. Furthermore, be contented in knowing that there are elements in ninjitsu that will show you how to move beyond this scenario.
