    Cross cultural comparison can be an interesting and useful endeavour. Examining how different cultures approach the same problems can lead to insight into common themes and behaviours.

    I get that! That isn't my perception of what is going on here. OP can correct me, but the threads by him/her come across more as " Ninja's are cool, let's tie everything into Ninjitsu." (In a way that doesn't give credit to other cool cultures and MA's being that in their own right.)

    We aren't talking about cultures where a reasonable comparison of how they influenced each other can be made - one where the cultures crossed and influenced each other in any major way. OP is really reaching to make a comparison IMO. Hannibal is right, they simply aren't comparable.

    Am I the only one who interprets it this way?

    Just look at the way OP phrases his/ her original question...............

    Not how they compare to each other, what their similarities in approaches are........but are these Native American Tribes "close to" Ninja's.

    I find it a bit disrespectful to the Apache and Comanche tribes.

    I think the ninja would lose their scalps if facing off in battle with the apache.. But that opinion comes from being a practitioner of native american knife combatives for the last decade..

    I think so too, but only after watching youtube videos of ninjutsu.

    That is an excellent point, sir. I'd completely forgotten about that.
    (sigh) I was addicted to that show when I was about 13 years old. The Baroness, yes. :love:

    Man, I vividly remember begging my mum for the storm shadow action figure during a wet Saturday afternoon in town. She relented: I practically exploded with joy.

    Sadly those figures came with wire attached ball joints that weren't as flexible as they suggested and I pulled it apart in two days.

    Poor Taihenjutsu. Clearly he was from an inferior ninja clan

    kalari55, ease up a little please.

    You're getting a little wound up by some answers and your combative replies aren't helping.

    If you believe you are right, then the question is pointless.

    We grow by engaging is discussion and sharing our experiences.

    Not related/ successor and not offended. One can have an opinion and it doesn't come from a place of being offended.

    As for the intelligence or not of the question, that is a matter of opinion. With all due respect, my opinion differs from yours on that matter.

    I think your opinion was vindicated as fact the moment Deadliest Warrior was mentioned ;)

    Dynamite and smoke grenades are not remotely the same thing. Not. Remotely.

    I give you concrete proof of an Apache using smoke and pyrotechnics to evade an attack:
