    Back in the late 70s, during the big Ninjitsu phase, I helped run a Goju Ryu dojo. One day I was alone there and this guy walked in and asked if we taught Ninjitsu. I told him we did and in fact there was a class going on as we spoke. He wondered where and I told him we were practicing stealth techniques with some of our most advanced ninja ka. He looked puzzled and left never to return.

      Absolutely true. There are many humorous stories that came from that place as folks generally have expectations of martial arts based on TV and myth. When they find out it’s work, sweat, and tears (blood too) they often don’t last.

    Stephen K Hayes went to Japan and acquired a 1st Dan black belt in the art of Bujinkan Ryu. He then went to America and proclaimed himself a skilled practitioner. Most martial arts systems, your black belt is the beginning. Everything leading up to that point is building a foundation, learning to walk. Black belt is where you start to learn and truly understand the art. Sadly Hayes created a terrible reputation for Ninpo in the west. Its the Mcdonalds of the art, commercialized for profit. I think all arts should be open to scrutiny, but first be critical of the instructor before you criticize the art form ^_^ much love to all MA practitioners of all systems!

      Judo and wrestling have a lot of passover to real fights, but if you ever plan to actually use them(in self defense obviously, don't go picking fights) you really should practice them for use against people wearing normal clothes. If anything they become even more effective.

I did TKD for a few years growing up and out of all of it, the simple and effective takedowns are probably the only thing I would actually teach anyone who wants to defend themselves. I think more traditional, artful Judo gets a bad rap in the western world of self defense when in reality, knowing how to bring down and subdue an opponent without looking like you're actually trying to fight might be the only surefire way to get out of a scrap without potentially facing assault charges.

    80s legends aside, Ninjitsu is basically Japanese jujutsu with some weapons thrown in, and cool black uniforms. They used to be like the samurai centuries ago.

      Well honestly the ones calles "ninjas" back in the feudal era were more of spies and and informants. They did sometimes carry out assassinations but it definitely wasn't like depicted in movies and shit. For the most part they were looked down on and seen as extremely "dishonorable" or "cheap trick" type of person. But in war, the point is to win, and alot of times when the samurai didnt want to do the dirty work themselves, they would hire "ninja" (which were basically just peasents who had training in old school espionage) to be the spies/carry out an assassination attempt, especially since they were expendable if caught.

    Never had to do any mystical-sensationalistic nonsense, fake spirituality. Just kicked my butt stretching, training, conditioning, strengthening. Looking back at all the nonsense with martial arts, I was lucky to be a part of that system, which had many useful tactics, including some grappling, hand to hand, defensive footwork, and a lot of kicking which focused on power and speed both.

    I took Ninjitsu when I was a kid, and my sensei was really good, it was in Ukraine, not in USA
    And the level of reverence we had for the craft was deep, we did pretty gnarly conditioning, and it made me a man through it.
    We used to do "crocodiles" for "warm up" when you ball your fists, like you are going to do push ups on knuckles, but walked across the floor parallel. Everyone would be bleeding, but damn it build character. All kinds of tough conditioning that made other martial arts and basketball seem so soft to me.
    I remember we used to practice quite a lot of stuff I use to this day if I get in a fight, good defense techniques, and it was very good craft to study.
    To this day it's one of those martial arts I revere for its' functionality, but it's not the only 1 I took.
    Ninja's actually used Ninjitsu, and it was mostly defense techniques to allow you escape the enemy. It does have offensive elements, but it was mostly defensive.

    The first martial art I really took was Japanese sword (kenjutsu) and the dojo also taught aikibujutsu/aikido. I had no context of what aikido was and I found the techniques pretty cool.
    Anytime I would feed one of my instructors the throw or pin, they would get pissed and tell me to really resist, otherwise I was compromising their actual ability. We also emphasized realistic effectiveness and used strikes and force on the joints for pins and throws. We also practiced some "dirty" techniques. And this was all I knew about the grappling martial art.
    I remember going to an exhibition that demonstrated aikido from another dojo and I was totally taken aback by how different it was. Everything was gentle, rhythmic, circular, and kind of peaceful. Completely different from the elbow, wrist, and shoulder snapping techniques I had learned and the violent throws and slams and pins I had been used to.
    Later I saw other dojos and their softer styles and understood why it gets a bad wrap.
    In retrospect, I would have honestly pushed for even more combat effectiveness. Our repertoire was a bit stifled and limited and honestly I feel we could have been smarter about it. We did pressure test, but we needed to more. We also identified as a koryu dojo, so we didn't peddle tons of belts (I don't think we sold anything, actually). We also kept it very small and exclusive and didn't allow kids since we wanted to maintain a more mature approach. The dojo dissolved shortly after I left for university.
    I boxed, too, and I've always been a fan of martial arts. I miss it, too. I'm thinking about finding another club sometime.

      A lot of traditional martial arts it a bad rap when in fact I believe they suffer from a lack of actual use from several generations of teachers and students. There were several points in recent history for China, Japan and Korea where martial artists and knowledge of martial arts were persecuted and any who had such knowledge had to disassociate themselves and their arts from actual fighting. Traditional martial arts have their roots and effective techniques but often they need to be resurrected much like HEMA enthusiasts have done for European martial arts.

    Very strange was everywhere right up through the 90’s. I trained at a very practical school in Colorado in the late 90’s but there were still valid Karate Sensei’ who clearly trained TKD or whatever base system to a high degree but also claimed to study ‘NINPO’. Had ‘Ninjacamp’ in the summer. ($) I never saw one technique of actual Ninjitsu ever.
    Real actual Kung Fu schools were extremely rare too but there was always ‘the Chinese Shaolin center’ where I met the chief instructor David Sourd ( look that saga up for a fun read ) or his Grandmaster Sin Kwang Te, who later admitted under oath that his fighting system was ‘created’ and not related to any handed down Chinese MA at all.
    ( I remember there was a guy in Parker , Co who was fairly legit I believe, trained Michelle Waterson who was doing pretty impressive wushu forms at all the local tournements)
    It was good being in the Denver area MA community at the time because I heard about a strange tournament happening at McNichols Arena and sat ten rows back trying to understand what I was seeing. UFC 1)

I was seated and said well today is the day to see if I can feel it too. I got up and walked a step and a half and a wave of energy weakened my knees. It didn't hurt, it felt like power I could not control but I had to catch myself on a chair or I was going down. I sat down and said YEP! Now I've also been to more religious churches that don't see a lot of miracles, and they definitely pushed people, me included. But it's a neat feeling and something I'd like to have happen again! 😇❤️

Are brains are EXTREMELY weak to certain types of theatrical persuasion. Now imagine you are in a situation getting fed the same theatrical type presentation but everyone around you that you trust is also telling you it's real.
      Having a real physical reaction means absolutely nothing unless you can provide definitive proof that something truly super human or super physical occurred (as in outside the bounds of known physics). Your knees buckling definitely doesn't meet that criteria.

I appreciate JRE for what it is and obviously Joe has a lot of respect for Martial Arts in general. He speaks his mind and stands his ground on most topics, even the ones he admits he knows nothing about, and while I think that's and irresponsible and even dangerous way to live, most of the things he's said have been tame in comparison to what trash gets churned out by network and cable news. The only time I've really been irked is when he had that Navy seal on, Zippo or whatever the fuck his name is, and they were trashing Shaolin Kung Fu because some MMA hothead beat the fuck out of a grandmaster in his own country. They went on to say that nothing can beat "ground and pound," because it's what wins most UFC and street fights. For two very knowledgeable and occasionally humble individuals, it really sounded like two cavemen polishing each other's clubs.

      I thought it was pretty convincing that he was citing only the source material, but in fact he has a Japanese national (who knows English but not the dialect she’s translating from) translate, then he smooths out the inconsistencies in her broken English translations before interpreting results into what they _might_ mean today & editing them according to which book he wants to put them in. By the time they’re published, the source material has been seriously stepped on.

Taking on classes of people my guess is that many people prob do leave after realizing its all crap.
