Rep Power: 220 | | | An interesting point.
A majority of people going to Japan and pretending to be Ninja are training in the Bujinkan with Hatsumi, the guy makes a killing off the fools and demands a yearly visit or you lose your ability to understand and practice the art and get booted from the BBT cult. |

Rep Power: 8 | | | The link was dead when I clicked on it. It makes me think however, has Hatsumi gone aganest what he has written and published? I wonder if the splitting of the art both the american and japenese styles(an off branch was created something that begins with a G I believe, japenese is hard to google) had something to do with it. Perhaps he is being overly defenisve and protective of what he has helped create. Or perhaps it is time to cash in...

There is only flipping out, and killing people.

Rep Power: 149 | | Careful -- you might cause a ninja to flip out, sayin' stuff like that.
And we all know what happens when ninjas flip out.
