Bujingodai, I have a question. You say you are not happy with how Japanese martial arts are being represented these days. When I think back at...
The first thing anyone asks when you tell them you study martial arts is 'which one?', then, when you tell them, the first thing they do next is...
I agree, the basics were.....not as impressive.
Well, I just got hold of the the show. I won't comment on the technique too much, except to say that some aspects of the free form taijutsu did...
The presenter seems to have had fun. https://twitter.com/joe_crowley Joe Crowley @joe_crowley Feb 20 So I'm just been schooled by Jake...
Please god no....I thought you were joking... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03vkp9p "Joe Crowley meets one of the world's only remaining ninjas"
edit: "what another great opportunity...." ;-)
Oh good. So he will be only one of the top 400 most deadly Ninja in the world. That sends a much better message. :whistle: Are they going to...
You mean, in real life he would admit that his rank doesn't really mean anything, that the article in the paper was a bad idea, and apologize for...

Then you probably shouldn't teach for a living. I don't have a problem with reasonable local dojo advertising either. I wasn't suggesting he...
Ah ok, so it was a publicity stunt, contrary to what was said earlier. You hoped that by going to the newspapers you would get more students...
It doesn't matter if I am 10 years old and studying LARP ryu, or 70 and Soke of a Koryu. You are perfectly capable of addressing my points either...
You obviously think your rank is worth something. There were two main groups on this thread. One said that you were not very good. The other...
I guess this question remains a mystery. The whole point of my original post was not about whether Niinpo deserves the rank or not, but going...
So how exactly did the papers get hold of this story about your trip to Japan and 15th Dan medal?
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/364897/Harder-than-Chuck-Norris-Brighton-man-becomes-one-of-only-50-true-ninjas-in-the-world Seriously?
Yes it "works", yes it has been used outside of "promotional videos". Even if I knew nothing about martial arts or specifically ninjutsu, I would...
OK, thanks for letting me know a bit about the author. I hope he gets a chance to tell us about his book on here. I will probably buy it anyway....
