I Study Ninjutsu

You really should look at my signature weasel. :lol:

I'm a 7th Dan.

thats very high, what does it go up to

Up to 10.

 

[sith-smith]

With regular training you could make it to black in 3 years.

I'm been doing martial arts for 18 years, about 14years on this one.

Long way before i reach 8th Dan. probably not until I'm nearing 40!!!

Do your reactions not start slowing down once you get to 40 odd?
(Not that I would fancy TRYING to fight someone who is an 8th dan no matter what age they are)

Not much if you've trained hard and continue training.

Because of that back op, I haven't trained much in over a year, and my reactions are crap at the moment. You just have to keep going with it. Once I start again they'll pick up.

My instructor is in his late 40's I cannot keep with him!!!!

Sorry for the fatuous question but are you one of the guys who has to warn people that they are likely to get a good kicking if they are trying it on with you in a pub or street or such like?

Also do you find that people are more likely or less likely to have a go at you when they know what you can do? There's always some drunken knobhead who thinks he's the man.

That's what Karate guys used to say in the 80's to make themselves seem macho. It was the same with getting a lisence. People used to say they needed a lisence because they were a dangerous weapon :lol:

The last time i got into a fight, I said to the guys, I don't want no trouble, second later i'd taken one of them out and the rest back off.

Generally speaking, no one I know has ever been started on because of what they do.

Info overload alert. :lol:

All that's set in Ninjutsu is the basic principles. The principles are based on the 4 basic elements earth water fire and wind.

For example, earth movements are very small, low and solid and usually involve introducing people to the floor in a very direct manner, There are two earth techniques in the videos..the second and fourth ones.

water is very defensive, it tends to involve movements that move away from the attack, then crash back in, like the waves on a beach. That's the first technique on the videos


fire is aggresive, It largely involves just smacking the **** out of your opponent, using anything you can. The last part of the first technique is fire.

and wind is evasive. It tends to be ducking out of the way and moving around your opponent so you're to the side or behind. That's the 3rd video. It's the hardest of all the elements to master.



You learn how to move/think in each element. You learn loads of techniques but there are no offical techniques that have to be learnt in a specific order. All those videos are of basic beginner techniques.

As your ability to use a certain element increases you will go up in grade level. You need to demonstrate techniques along the way to show how the element is used, but like I said, they aren't really fixed as such.

Then you learn how to blend the elements that's up to about brown/black belt

Then you learn to develop the ability to move without thinking about which element you use. By that time it should become second nature. That's round about black belt level up to 3rd dan.

Then your body needs to just react, on it's own to whichever element is the most useful at that time. It's a weird feeling but you body just moves where it needs to. That's up to about 5th Dan

After that you just improve on what you've got, constantly trying to get the same result with less and less effort and movement. You need to have mastered this by 8th Dan, then you become a master.

shut the **** up ,anyone watch match last night :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't look right as i typed it.

Ah well, i'm not at school at the moment.

 

[jabbawokkie]

There are no rules and regulations. Nothing is banned. If in a fight you picked up a chair and used it, you would be using Ninjutsu, as long as it conformed to Ninjutsu movements. In fact, we teach students to use improvised weapons :twisted:

so you can pick up a gun and your a ninja 8)

 

[sith-smith]

Well In theory, if you trained as one, and in the fight got a gun and used it, it would be perfectly acceptable
