I am a Ninjutsu Warrior

[Devourment]

When I'm 22 I'm going to be learning Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun & Nunchaku. Preferably not all at the same time though. I'll probably end up doing one for about 10 years & then the next. Reason I'm waiting 'til I'm 22 is because my body will be fully grown then.

Although I do teach myself Nunchaku now, & I know it's dangerous & you're not really meant to, I've got by quite good without having any bruises on my ribs. I haven't used them for ages though..

I used to do Karate till I was about 10 and then I did kickboxing for a year or so. I'm not a ninja.

I think I mentioned earlier that I would like to take wushu aswell. If the taijustsu doesn't work out for me then I figure I will find something new.

I emailed the runner of the dojo. He told me that only people of a certain level may actually spar at the dojo. Evidentaly real combat would end in the death of somebody.

Well you didn't expect it to be pretty, did you?

*take in mind I have virtually no knowledge of martial arts*

Wouldn't it be better to just start off small? I dunno, but it seems to me like this dojo is pretty high-class or something. Well, I don't know anything on this subject anyway, so meh.

My school does not advertise itself on how long it's sensei/guru/sifu/or master have been teaching because that only brings about a conformist perspective to the ARTS which is what it is and ART which has no boundaries but with certain rules still implemented

That is total busll[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img], you have to spar or train with a slightly resisting partner at the beggining no matter what.... or you won't pick up on timing or get real practice and will be practicing dead patterns for a while losing your time

Now, if what this guy is talking about all out sparring, (which is good usually meant for competitive practitioners) then hell no you don't belong there but every class should have a play/sparring section in order to try out your techniques and LEARN

There are different levels to sparring

Do Judo guys spar from the beggining or as white belts....YES
Do Wrestlers spar within 2 weeks of learning....YES

that is why these COMPETITIVE arts in which people can actually test themselves through competition are poractical and work

Kyokushin Kai Karate spar, maybe not even %50 at the start but they SURE DO after a couple months...this is a reason why out of all the KARATE styles Kyokushinkai is respected because they do more than KATAS and REVERSE PUNCHES therefore sparring and being more effective

Even Capoeira which is not the most practical for fighting spar , this spar is the Roda in which the practitioners PLAY the game

watch this video on sparring and playing the game->http://www.roninathletics.com/video/sbg2.wmv

Your posts should be black. True Ninja's wear black. You poser.

I know, taijutsu is not a combative sport. It is about killing. The dead patterns are meant to be met with little to no resistance. This is why the sparring is low key. Maybe sparring is not the right word, but I can't think of a better one.

And yeah, I expected it, I just didn't fully realize what it was I was expecting. Oh, yeah, I got my ninja costume in the mail today. I'm wearing it right now. It is awesome.

Wearing and writing are different things.
