Ninjutsu

Sorry to butt in Bionicman but here you go munhozmib: http://sempaijudoacademy.com/s/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122&Itemid=117 This is the style I learned for some time many years ago. Real Ninja fighting!

You can't learn it on the internet:) I've seen some guy selling DVD's how to learn Ninjutsu but I suggest you to avoid that crap. Find nearest club and see if the schedule works for you.

Thanks for the link, James! It's a shame I can't learn it through the internet. I'd really like to learn it, but my mother won't pay a school for me. I heard it needs a lot of dedication. I don't have much time, I could train only in weekends. Would that be a problem?

Hey. Even tho I trained only for about 6 months I also felt like it's also teaching me about life in general. The thing I especially like on trainings is great mood. Everybody is very friendly, having fun but train very serious at the same time. Can you tell me the story of how did you use your skills when you got attacked by group of people?

Thanks for the best response. The group of people scenario..... Hmmm. I will describe it as best I can! lol. It was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time as per usual. I had a group of 6 people that were very drunk start hassling me outside a party and they basically started to try to beat the living daylights out of me all at once. The first thing I did was seek out the biggest guy there to shut him down. The mentality was that if the largest guy falls then the rest will falter. It is very true too so always remember this! The key is to always keep moving for one; it is very hard for even a group of people to land anything if you are always on the move. Secondly, it is imprtant to be able to stun someone and hold on to them as you move around, this too helps to cover yourself from multiple blows that come your way and you can use this person as a shield of sorts. The main thing to remember is that people can't stand and fight if they can't even stand in the first place! lol. My majority focus was not on trying to knock anyone out or anything like that, but was on their legs mostly. In Muay Thai for example, the legs are seen as the core platform of the fighter so to weaken the legs brings down the overall person in time. Sort of like chopping down a tree! You start at the base and then the tree eventually falls. It is also not a standard expectation of a drunken person picking a fight to have their legs attacked. They are expecting shots at the head more than anything else so leave this area totally unprotected in most cases. Anyways, I continually moved all over the place and took repeated shots at their legs mainly with knees and kicks mostly and when some of them started to weaken I then shifted to head and upper body shots. The whiole thing really on lasted a matter of five minutes or so but I was able to diffuse the situation enough to get the heck out of there with no fear of anyone running after me. I was fortunate actually because all I got out of it personally was a fat lip. This is what I always loved about Ninjitsu. It prepares you for many scenarios such as this one and teaches you to be very fluid and crafty. Of course the key of any Martial Art is to NOT fight; but it is certainly rewarding to know that if you have to, you can. This was a long, long time ago so I am sure I am rusty these days. I just hope I never have to test things out like this again!

Thanks for sharing and wow, you fought against 6 morons at once. It's great to hear that what you've learned actually worked. And thanks for the tips but as I am now, I know I'd rather rely on my parkour skill over the fighting and would run like hell out of there
