I am 25 and can and HAVE used Daito Ryu Aiki JuJutsu MANY MANY times effectively in the STREET and when bouncing. This style has a huge amount of techniques - far greater than Ninjutsu and Hapkido and yet i can still use it effectively!
You guys really know VERY VERY little about the traditional arts!!
Entire TRADITIONAL JuJutsu sylabus' where learned by samurai in under a year to prepare them for battle - It depends on how much you train!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that i rate either of these arts, i do think that they can be learnt and used against your average street thug with competance if you train with the right mindset.
This IS my personal experience of traditional arts. Something like BJJ is pretty much useless on the street in comparison.
Cheers

ps. agree abouut the ninja thing!!!
