is there any Ninjitsu school in maryland

[hizbullah]

I want to learn best fight style some one told me that the best style is ninjitsu can you tell me if there is any ninjitsu school in maryland :)

[JediMasterChris]

First off...there is no "best" fighting style. I bet your friend either does Ninjutsu or watches too much TV, because that is just an ignorant thing to say has he actually trained in any style of martial arts besides Ninjutsu?









GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! **** **** **** **** ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where abouts in Maryland? There are at least 3 schools that I know of and can recommend. THere may be others, but if so, I don't know anyone associated with them so can't vouch for them.
Also, if you are looking to beat people up and be "Billy Bad-A$$", I would suggest looking at another style or system. That last thing that we stress is how to kick the cr4p out of someone. It just ain't cool. Defend your loved ones, your community and your country, yeah, sure! But just to be a good fighter, look at something else.

Like Muay Thai for instance? :D

What's THAT supposed to mean? You think you cannot be a moral martial artist with a goal of self protection by learning Muay Thai?

[Brad Ellin]

I wasn't referring to any particular martial art, what I meant was look somewhere else, I meant the reason or drive behind the desire to learn a martial art. Sorry if I was vague there. Been a rough week. As many of us have stated in the past and will in the future, in this thread and so many others, it's not the Art but the artist that determines the morality or immorality of how our skills are used. If all you want to do is learn how to beat people up, look somewhere else. Check your heart and head for your reasons. I hope that I'm not alone in saying this, but don't soil Ninjutsu (insert your chosen path here) by using it to learn how to just fight. Sure, that's what the martial arts are for, but fight only when you have to. Unless you plan on being a tournament fighter. Then, go for it. Only reason I bring it up in this manner is, the majority of people I have met who wanted to learn how to be the best fighter and looked at learning ninjutsu, did so with the wrong intentions. They see ninjutsu as the ultimate martial art (Thank you Hollywood. P*!ck$) and the answer to their own insecurities and and fantasies of revenge or Mr. Tough guy.

Sorry, started to ramble there.

I don't like him..... I think your looking at it all wrong.

[Knight_Errant]

Man think the frill about what you're doing. F'r instance, can you do:
40 pressups
50 situps
a mile run in under 8 minutes?
iF not my advice is to steer well clear of the martial arts.

[Adam]

Not very good advice. Begin martial arts and you will very soon be able to do those exercises and more.

Then I guess I might as well steer clear. I mean, I can do 50+ situps, but 40 pressups? Don't know. Suffered neurological damage to neck and shoulders a few years ago. And run a mile? Heck no. Not even in 30 minutes. I don't run. Being chased? I'll punch out whoever is with me and let them get caught while I get away. Otherwise, you'll catch me. But you better bring plenty of stretchers. I'd wager my 20+ years of experience (classroom and practical hands on) will help me get thru.

If you're still looking, there are actually two places to learn muay thai right in Gaithersburg. Mike Moses (Linxx Martial Arts) and Mike Krivka (JKD Concepts). You can find websites for either one with a quick google search.
