Of course, this shouldn't be a surprise though. Seems like for every good thread, there are 2 others that suck.
Ah, but see, thats the difference. If someone has no interest in fighting in the cage, they're not going to be working techniques for that...
While I see the point you're trying to make, why does something from a TMA have to work under MMA rules? I suppose it depends on the goal of each...
I guess what the biggest assumption seems to be, and sorry for repeating myself, but the assumption comes into play when the majority of folks say...
And that is perfectly fine. The difference though, is when people preach to others that X will DEFINATELY not work vs. saying that it doesn't...
So if thats the case, why are you here, bashing the Bujinkan? In a nutshell, this is exactly what you're doing. You're assuming that what you...

I have to agree with Kagete on this. Of course in my personal opinion, I would not assume that a traditional art or the person training in that...

I agree with you on that. I agree with you again, although I would say that it would depend on the situation. See my comment above. This...
In my opinion, I think that alot comes down to how everyone in the Bujinkan trains. Is watching youtube going to give an accurate picture of it?...
You're kidding right? If something annoying keeps happening over and over and over again, especially if its in violation of the TOS, why isn't...
Thats life? Taken from you TOS: 4.5 Trolling/ Inciting Conflict: "Trolling" or making posts with the intention of creating problems on the...
Oh and for the record, I'm not against live training or some sparring. I just don't throw it in every single post.
Can't really disagree with anything you said, except one small part. Yes you are correct, people are suggesting adding in sparring. However,...
Oh, ok, I wasn't sure, as its been a while since I had logged on here. Personally, it would have been better off splintered into the trash,...
