Why Budo Taijutsu. By Hudson69 - 10-17-2009 12:48 AM

=========

I was skulking around youtube and came across a Stephen Hayes clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaRf2jAouKU). But in it he basically says that the reason for the change from ninjutsu to budo taijutsu by Soke to focus students (at least new ones) on the hand to hand combat skills of the various schools.

He also states that to train someone now in all the skills of the ninja of old is not only impractical but could be considered "militia" training and taken the wrong way by todays standards.

Are there any disagreements to this and are there schools that teach "old school" ninjutsu out there or possibly both versions? And how has the Budo Taijutsu, for you, been updated to better help one survive the street of the modern world?
