How do you get a ninja to spar?

[Sircnay]

Seriously? In the last few months I've had open gym at the studio that I basically control (my master's a douche and never comes.) and invited people to come freely to spar so I can learn and so can they.

However I recently met a real "ninja" in my Japanese Class. He's apparently been taking Ninjitsu for a long time now and I've invited him to come to class, however, he just doesn't want to come for SOME unknown reason. I mean, Ninjitsu is the deadliest art in the world isn't it? He shouldn't have a problem taking me down.

His fighting stance can only be best described as a front lunge stance, only reversed. His front leg is straigtened and his back leg is bent, with the front leg turned with the knee facing down and his arms bundled away from the opponent. If you've played Tekken 5, it's almost exactly like Raven (The wesley snipes look-a-like guy.)

So how should I get him to come and spar? He always flakes out when he says he'll come. I'd like to spar a real life Ninja.

Do you mean his stance is a back stance?
70% of his weight on his back leg and 30% on the front?

Why would he spar you? He might not want you to learn his style.

What japanese class are you in? Ninjitsu is Japanese also, so why is this in the Korean section?

DO NOT SPAR WITH THE MAN.
he will kill you.
Ninjas are notorious for killing their sparring partners.
They are deadly and not to be triffled with.
Shit...I knew a ninja once...we were out getting coffee, and somebody bumped in front of him in line...damn.
He jumped up onto the counter in what can only be described as a back flip, grabbed the guy by the neck and broke it.

And nobody in the place saw what happened. Because he was too quick for the eye to follow.
Ninjas are like...like the wind...all mysterious like.

[Sircnay]

Uh... because I do TKD... and I take Japanese.

Anyhow, I don't see why him not wanting me to Learn his style would be the case, as he told me exactly where the school he trains at is, AND, I don't see how I could learn his style completely in 2-3 minutes. That's just ghey.

By the way, if any of you are in the central valley, PLEASE come to my open gym nights, I want as many styles to come as possible, we have everything from street brawlers to boxers to american wrestlers.

[movingshadow]

chill a bit guys

he doesn't care about you learning his style - becaues (acording to the other reply poster) he could just kill you right? so yah thats not the reason

1. WTF! hes not gonna kill u dude..
2. maybe hes got a girlfriend and would rather "spar with her"
3. what is this guy talking about - yeah thats usual when people cut in front of me i clobber em. then i cut them up and mail the rest of the peices to norway.

(break his neck) wtf.. nice story - sorry i dont believe you! LOL

Ask the guy why he never shows up? Good idea. huh?

[ddrive]

hmmmmmm.

Maybe this "ninja" is just not interested in sparring with you.

Fine, don't fucking believe me. It happened, man, I swear to god. Snapped that shit like a twig, broke it off and used the severed head to bludgeon an old lady and her cat...
and then he field kicked a baby out of a basonet and knocked out one of the "special" baggers.
Ninjas are bastards.

[Garland]

as a non-sequitor...how many of you guys have seen "Rome".
The shit is tiiiiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhhhtttt.
Like McFattys says, "I'm luvin' it."

[Streetprince]

hmmm seems to me he might just be a POSER

[movingshadow]

damn you say its true? i dont know dude...

Yeah somtimes i just get mad when someone cuts in front of me in line. I step out and do this crazy ass wide horse stance looking ninja action job and then pull shirkins out of my socks and back up run forward to the asshole and do a flip and use my momentum from that forward front flip to throw my shirkins at em - they both to into each one of his eyes.

Then jump up onto his shoulders and say WHOOAHHHH and grab his head snap it pul it off of his spine and throw it at the wall and it sticks there (from the sharp shirkins sticking out of his face).

Then i go kick a few babys.

- So then what happened when the police came? did they take him to jiail? or did you wax the cops to with there own tonfas?

[Sircnay]

Yeah right! I bet he used a smoke bomb and sliced a wormhole in space with his katana so he could teleport to another dimension where he can restore his Chi power.

But when he's finished I bet he won't have any problems going back and breaking EVERY officer's neck in the world.

[movingshadow]

Aha!

NO WAY DUDE the reason he slices a hole into space is to let his ninja clan come through and back him up when the officers start firing at him.

So like then there are all these flying ninjas flying around doging bullets and officers are all getting there necks broken here and there.

Then Neo comes out and sees them and says "Hey you ninjas you will never dodge bullets as good as me because I am the ONE!"

Then NEO starts taking all of the ninjas on like he did smith(s). So this other Ninja is like "more! MORE NINJAS" SO MORE NINJAS START POURING OUT OF THE SLICED OPEN DIMENTION AND NEO PULLS ANOTHER TEATHERBALL POLE FROM THE GROUND AND STARTS SWINGING IT AROUND AND BASHING EM ALL EVERY WHICH WAY! YAH I AM THE ONE TRINITY!

sorry to interrupt this extremly good scifi ninja story but if you look at alot of ninja books and movies and even video games about ninjas you'd probably notice that they only "spar" other ninjas. I'm not a ninja expert but i dont think they even consider it sparring.

[Sircnay]

That's right. It's called killing to them! THey love it!

This one time, I saw a ninja and then I realized that I can't see ninjas because they're invisible and then he TOTALLY disappeared! I was soooo stoked! But then he ripped my eyes out and EXPLODED me with his Penis because I saw him.

It was so surreal.
