Training Ninjutsu

Shoot23 · 10-30-2009, 02:52 PM

I was looking into training in the martial art of Ninjutsu and I was wondering if you guys thought that was a good idea since it helps in all the major aspects of fighting. Weapon fighting, hand to hand, throws and all kinds of stuff.

I found a couple good sites like these below that are swaying my decision towards Ninjutsu. What do you guys think??

Or should I just train BJJ and kickboxing?? I found a great school for both Ninjutsu and more of an MMA style of fighting and I'm torn between the two.

No...

Train a couple months in BJJ or Muay Thai. And you probably won't even want to train in a single disciple of Martial Arts again. It's called cross training.

unless you are training to be an assassin or be a manga/anime character, ninjitsu is worthless.

Yeah, I'd try something with proven efficiency first. I'd focus on Thai, but actually an MMA gym would be better.

Also, I'm thinking about jumping on the Krav Maga bandwagon, so I'd give that a try as well.

After you've experienced these, try Ninjutsu.

If you really want to be an effective all around fighter you would be much better off enlisting in one of the military branches. Over the centuries weapons have evolved somewhat and a pilot in a F22 will often get the upper hand over a ninja.

This can't possibly be serious.

This is where ninjitsu will get you.

NAME THAT FIGHTER!

Ninjutsu is the best style out there IMO problem is finding a legit Ninjutsu school outside of Japan is almost impossible.

As far as the techniques you will learn go it's very applicable to street fighting of coarse the weapon fighting you mentioned will be useless because i doubt you go out with bo staff's and sword's hidden in your coat and if you do you don't need to train any MA.

Although you will learn valuable Knife defence techniques.

The hand to hand combat will mainly be Strikes using these parts of the hands: fist, knife hands, palms, chop's, hammer fist and fingers. Elbows, Knees and a wide variety of Kicks.

Throws will be a mixture of Judo and Akidio throws. There will also be standing sub's like the one's in Akidio and grappling sub's and pins found in Judo and Akidio.

The best aspect though will be nerve strikes and the death touch to see the affects of these techniques watch this video YouTube - fight science - Ninjitsu
