Why not make your own ninjutsu

[Warrior189]

The people who want to study in ninjutsu, why dont u just practice ur stealth, balance, jumping, weapons skills n other stuff that ninjas do so u wont get ripped off with some poser n save a lot of money then spending on classes. Also try putting in some other martial arts to improve the art.

The idea is not bad, but if your knowledge is zero, what to do?

You always need a teacher or sensei (he who went there first) because, if you train by your self you don't hve a reference-point!

In the art of ninja u mostly need to know is stealth n thats how all martial art starts knowing nothing then start developing.

[bushido-brother]

Maybe, but it takes a lifetime :-)

[Warrior189]

Well I have time.

thats how all martial art starts knowing nothing then start developing.

I would argue that staement. No MA starts from nothing, it is always a progressions from either previously studied arts or intense personal experiece (in fighting combat). If you just "create" an MA you are no better and probably worse than the "posers" you are complaining about.

nothingness is the soure of all things and also the end

all m a have one goal
to survive by being
fitter smarter and more focused than every one else
when you have to fight you will win or else yourstyle dies with you
nin jutsu is around all time not because its a good martial art
but because it works
some com and some go but the wheel is still used because its effective.

I get what your saying but the previous arts they studied started the same way as everything else, as nothing then became an idea. Then they used those ideas to bring it to life n teached it to people n what the people learned from the previous art they use to improve it n develop their own art. Also your right I'm not better then those people who create there own MA, but I'm not the worse. I'm not teling people I studied the art so give me money so I can teach it to you. I'm saying I would like to develop my own art based on ninjutsu using my own style n if you want me to teach it to you ok if not I dont care. But never call me a poser I'm not tricking people by saying I know the art. I'm just saying I'm developing my own style of ninjutsu n if u want me to teach it to u I'll show you what I got so far ok. But never call me a poser.

Why did you call me that for? I just gave my point of view on something that many people might think about doing.

[BoarSpear]

Why call it ninjutsu then?

If you are going to make the art up anyway why not make up a new name for it as well...perhaps you want to BE a ninja? then study real ninjutsu.. if your not hung up on the ninja idea look at the sulsa ect . borrowing or incorporating ideas and theories or principles of of an art then improving it yourself is great for personal growth but dont kid yourself about the fact that this is not creating a new art.

I wasn't really going to make a new ninjutsu I was just saying it to make a point cross to Ipon n I was thinking about what to call it if i do make a new ninjutsu. Also its the idea of ninjutsu using the stealth, invisibility n other skills they do, but not exact like the true art.

This is why I called you an ignoramus maximus. Two MAJOR flaws with your plan here.

1. There is soooo much more to ninjitsu than stealth, jumping, weapons, etc. You can't just forget about the whole combat aspect of ninjitsu and think you have covered everything. That would be akin to saying that all you need to know to become a doctor is how to sharpen scapels, put on scrubs, and dispense medicine.

2. Stemming from that last point, you can't assume to learn these techniques on your own without any guidance. For example, using the hanbo in ninjitsu is so much more than in karate where all they (for the most part) do is swing it around and practice their angles and strikes. In ninjitsu, bojitsu is a very subtle art. You need someone to show you how to work it correctly, you will <i>never</i> figure it out on your own.

To say that you can learn or create your own art is an insult to instructors everywhere. So many people out there fail to realize how deep an art can go. Unfortunately, the American Karate system has given many the impression that there isn't much to learn after one reaches the level of 3rd degree. I don't know how many systems teach only weapons after 1st degree and then run out of things to teach. Then promotions are based soley on how many students you bring to the dojo, competitions you've won/instructed, etc. This is not the case with ninjitsu. Instruction continues even through 10th dan. There is a lot out there that others are missing out on.
