Want to become a Ninja?

British Combat Ninjutsu Association

Canadian Ninjutsu Academy - Pictures and Videos






That has got to be the sweetest banner I have ever seen. It's patriotic AND has a Ninja! Pure win. So much so that I wish I could use that icon in my sig but the damn website won't let me put things in my sig lately (pissing me off royally. keeps spouting shit about BB code that it never did before)

I'll just say it before anyone else does, but without a funny comment;

Wash left, wash right.

Re: Want to become a Ninja?

The British one actually sounds sensible... If not for the fact that ninjutsu more or less mean "secret technique"--you wouldn't actually advertise you know it, much less solicit money and offer to teach it.

Heck, it's known as ninjutsu probably because no one (outside of the clans/families) knew what they were exactly, much less the actual names of the techniques.

"It's the funny stuff those, er... hidden spies (ninja) or whatever they're called are using!"

Kinda like the labels "Islamism" and "Islamist"--made up words for people and ideas the people in charge don't fully understand what's going on but need something to blame.

Translation: "We teach self-defense, and Ninjutsu sounds like a cool label so we're using that."

I assume that that was a typo for "right."

Also, I suppose one such school can perfectly well advertise knowledge of "secret techniques," so long as they don't advertise the techniques themselves.
