Thats sounds about right.

Dont even ask about invisibility moves!

Oh yeah!?? NINJA DEATH STAR ATTACK!!!
now who's joking??


Yeah most Japanese look at ninjutsu the way we'd look at a jedi.
I don't know much about ninjutsu, but I think the problem with it is that it's been sucked up too much in the TV media, etc. Not enough real facts or evidence to give it a "realistic" light. Even the Booj has dropped the ninjutsu title and settled for "BudoTaijutsu."

For what it's worth though, just because the Japanese don't take it seriously doesn't all together mean it IS without merit. Many Japanese are just as ignorant about their culture and martial arts as we are. (Believe me I've met them )

But other than that.....yeah. Ninja = Cartoonish fairy tales to most Japanese.

Here's an invisibility trick (check out his website)

1. Make an open challenge to all.
2. Require the challenger to post a $10K appearance bond.
3. Use mitigating clauses such as "Yoshido Quim is not responsible for the dissapearance/death of said challenger and resulting financial 'losses' for the challenger"
4. You agree. Post the bond and show up at the arranged time/location.
5. He does not appear. The bond money is missing.
6. He claims vicotry vis a vis invisibility techniques and you lose $10K.

[Tom Yum]

Oh yeah and he is not responsible for said 'financial losses'. Might want to pre-determine the definition a little closer.

In answer to your question;

Although, I hear it can be very effective................................
If you like eating pizza and find your self with a rather large shell glued to your back!

[Tom Yum]

[CHOKE UK]

"Give it time my son".....!

You may just mistake it for a pimple on your back at the moment,
but in time..........you may eventually have the "millenium dome" on ya back !

..........aaahhhh more anchovies!!!!
That should do the trick !

What's Ashiba Kim's website?

Later...

Heh...all this dissing the dark art...

Travel. Visit a reputable school (not necessarily affiliated with the Bujinkan. Ask law enforcement agencies about GOOD Ninjutsu practioners. I can almost guarantee the ratio is only one per major city/state/province (which cuts the crap to over eighty percent of the other ones out there).

If you're seeking the best, be sure the crap will try to suck you in first. I searched for years before I found the club I train with.

Don't you think I've already been exposed to him? For every true teacher, a thousand monkeys. AK and thousands more eat bananas every day - I'm sure of it.

"Ask law enforcement agencies about GOOD Ninjutsu practioners."

Yeah. Great idea. I can picture the conversation now.....

"Do you have a list of reputable Ninja Dojos in this town?"

"DO YOU WANT TO END UP IN A FRIGGIN CELL, YOU PISS TAKING DICK?"



Yep. Thats what police stations are for....to provide advice about silly men in black pyjamas who think they can go invisible.....
