Tew Ryu Ninjitsu

Whats the story on this Rick Tew fella and Tew Ryu Ninjitsu?

[Jay Bell]

Evidently he studied with Frank Dux for awhile before branching off to do his own thing.

Doesn't he also run some kind of instuctor training program in Colorado, where you can become an instructor in a pretty short time? I thought I remembered seeing an ad for it in one of the mags a ways back.

Yeah, I saw it in Blackbelt and checked out his web site. He's looks very young (almost too young)

Yup. you're right. They are in BB. I looked at the article as well as his site, and personally I'm not that impressed. If I was planning on doing Ninjutsu I think I'd rather study with someone a little more legit like Hayes.

He's out of it now though, isn't he?

Are you talking about Hayes? His new art, To shin do, IMO, from what I've read, sounds like its along the same idea as the traditional Ninjutsu that he learned, only with some mods. to it. He has talked about still going to Japan to train.

I have no idea how good Tew is. Goto give him credit he has one helluva an org. I have one of his promo VCD's. If I wanted to become a machine, they are place I'd go. It doesn't look too traditional, but that is up to the individual right.

Yes I agree. And it does look like they're all having loads of fun.

for anyone doing a search for sensei you can search mulitple post i've done regarding rtms tew ryu ninjutsu. i realize these post are really old and inaccurate so i thought i would at least show where to find some real info.

peace

Enson, how long have u been training in Rick's stuff?

Hm, from what I know of Rick Tew is he knows, and has at least a black belt in each, kickboxing, hapkido, two forms of ninjutsu (Dux Ryu and RBWI) and I think escrima. To me his training camp is that of RBWI. Just looks too similar. Oh, and yes, he does look young but I think he is in his late 30's and his training camp has been around since the late '80s or early '90s. Plus, he is part of the BBB (Better Business B... [I don't know how to spell it]), so is/has to be reliable for them to sponser him.

I'd say out of all the hybrid arts his is the best.

The Better Business Bureau does not "sponsor" anyone. They maintain reliability reports for major companies, and a database of complaints against businesses.
