Ninjitsu

Stealth
Speed
Skill
That's what Ninjas need. No special training like those Samurai who can slice throught just about anything. Therefore, intelligence is vital. Aim for weak spots. Be swift.
Ninjas are like Intelligence or Agility heroes, whereas Samurai are like Strength heroes.
Hehe..DOTA!
lol
But really, that's not really what Ninjitsu is all about. Ninjitsu is kinda like the darker side of the Samurai arts. Where Samurai would never attack a person whose back is facing him, the Ninjitsu practitioner would have no qualms. However, don't see this as if it were something bad. A real ninjitsu master would never use his skills for bad, only to defend innocents. Even if it meant hitting the attacker at a particular sweet spot.
Nevertheless, what really is attractive about Ninjitsu is that it is THE street-smart defence technique. Nobody in their right mind would be hauling around a katana everywhere he goes (assuming that the person is not a criminal..lol). Rigid moves are a strict no-no when you're threatened by a bunch of thugs who outnumber you. Lack of disarming techniques is suicide when faced with parang-wielding idiots who wander around these days and make a living by taking your car, abducting you, stealing money from your bank account and end it with raping your girlfriend.
Don't laugh, some of these are actual storys.
Anyway, isn't it good to at least arm yourself with some rudimentary skill of self-defence? Not to provoke those who might kill you. Rather, to be able to find a way to escape if a crook really has killing intent. Better safe than sorry. Of course the best would be not to enter such a situation at all, according to the facilitator of No Apologies =)
And, it helps you to keep fit =)
(keep fit, not reduce weight..I don't think that negative calorie balance can be sustained over a suitably long period of time with just martial arts alone..especially if you start off with a BMI of 40)
Well, this is really so random..sigh..
But it's real fun! No kidding..
Especially the throws =)
Well, for those interested, maybe you can start off here..There's a good intro there, (although it does look a little cheesy~ heh) and perhaps it can answer some of your questions regarding Ninjitsu. Nevertheless, I am not saying that you should follow the principles totally if it's against your religion. That's where a fine line is drawn, and I for one will not cross it.
Anyway, here it is:
American Bujinkan Dojo
For those who're studying at IMU, here's a treat! We have our own Ninjitsu Club! (Yes, we DO have one!) Contact M106 William for details, or just read the details stuck at nearly every escalator on your way to lectures. Haha..intro classes are FREE! (should move the malaysian within)
Ok, no more randomness. Gotta end this before ramblings become incoherent. Haha..


PS [to ducky]: There is no such thing as getting a "Ninja" name when you join, although you can apply through Malaysian courts to have your IC changed. Haha. And I'm NOT Chihuahua-who-defeats-his-opponents-not-with-shurikens-but-with-lame-jokes
Just call me Hua. Chihuahua. Licence to paralyse!
