Saku is a true modern Ninja. And a Gracie Killer.

i will not be convinced until he enters the ring using a grappling hook and after the fight leaves the ring while throwing a few smoke bombs.
also ninjas:
fred ettish-disappeared after first nhb match, impossible to locate or contact.
ranger stott- learned martial arts in the forest.
don wilson- star of many "embarassing 80's movies".

I thought this was a disussion board, not a place to win a popularity contest.

EXACTLY my point Caterpillar. So why do you have such a problem with my posts? Are not my inane posts just as valueable as yours or anyone elses on this board?

To the others that doubt Saku is a Ninja, open your eyes my friends. Saku's fighting style is pure Ninjutsu.
How many other styles utilise the cart wheel gaurd pass?

BTW Vanderlei Silva does study BJJ so technically you are correct when you say BJJ defeated Ninjutsu except for the fact he relied on Muay Thai Techniques to win.

I remember back in '81 when a team of us travelled to Thailand for the Ninjutsu vs Muay Thai challenge. 8 out of 10 Ninja's won on that night, oh how times have changed

not ninjutsu

Unless it is Bujinkan, Genbukan, or Jinenkan it's not ninjutsu. There was a style of Koga Ryu(Fujita sensei) but it died with him and his 2 students in a car crash in the 70's. Modern creations are MMA. They be effective fighting arts but not ninpo taijutsu.
