Ninjutsu must be rare.

No Jinnekan, Genbukan or Bujinkan?

One person on the board is a ninjustuka, a few allude to cross training in it and only a handful did before.

Ninjutsu IS rare, having a look in Blitz, I see two ads for it, one being Bujikan (Sensei Lomax), another is "Ninjukai" from Western Australia.

Either it's rare,Or is it a false MA.

Where's the proof of ninjutsu being a MA?

The reasons it seems sooo rare on this board might have something to do with the attitude of people on this board you know, joe6 [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif[/IMG]

Ninjiutsu seems to be getting bad rap every where I go. I don't understand.
As if other jiutsu-arts (e.g. aiki jiutsu or ju jiutsu or iai jiutsu) people are practicing their arts 100% true to their martial root!? but yet they don't get the same discrimination. Sure, there is probably no real ninja left, but can you find one surviving samurai?

And so I remain baffled...

let me clarify this for everyone who either doesn't understand or simply hates ninjitsu for whatever reason.

There are no such things as ninjas anymore. Ninjitsu, like every other MA, had to evolve with the times in order to survive as an art.
It, again like all other MAs, has turned into a self-defensive style. This is because Mas are not used for their true purposes anymore. Most MAs were designed as offensive arts used very often to kill an enemy, this was especially true of ninjitsu. No one needed this anymore so, logically MAs turned to defense and ways to protect oneself against attackers, very useful in today's world. How many styles teach you how to attack someone? None that I know of. Therefore, ninjas are dead, there are however practisioners of ninjitsu, or ninjitsu-ka (I believe).

Trog,Ninjutsu is the correct spelling of the word,Ninjitsu is how Ashida kim/chris hunter pells it,& yes that's what i'm really refering to,It's ninjitsu I have a prob with not ninjutsu.PS Now I'm confused. [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif[/IMG]

they're actually spelled both ways. and no no more ninjas exist.......................................................................................................................................or do they...........................................................................................................you'll probably never know if you keep yourself blocked out from any other ma other than the one you train in............................................................observe life around you, and seek the answers.

um, what?

I'm going to chose to ignore most of what you said and assume you're agreeing with my previous post. [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/IMG]

Actually ”E�p is not spelled "both ways"... you can spell it ninjiutsu or ninjutsu, but ninjitsu is wrong. The same goes for jujiutsu and aikijiutsu or whatever "jiutsu" (�p�j.

jiutsu/jutsu is just different ways to romanize the same word�i‚¶‚ã‚Â���p�j

jitsu �i‚¶‚Â�jis a completely different word.�@�iŽÀ�j
