Sorry. This is my way of demonstrating that I disagree with the statement that there are no stupid questions.

IF YOU ARE BEING GENUINE NOT A TROLL, THEN THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS.

I revise statement just for you!

Because the OP really wants to know the answers to what he is asking.. you sir on the otherhand are just being ignorant.

LETS STAY ON TOPIC AND TRY TO HELP THIS GUY.

You just jumped into a thread that hadn't had a post in almost 4 months. You haven't addressed the original question (is it possible to train without an instructor?) yourself.

While in many situations, instructors often tell students "there are no stupid questions", I think most of us can realize that there are indeed stupid questions. If you're in math class, and you ask your teacher about your art history class... That's probably going to be a stupid question. It's probably an unwise, if not stupid, question to ask a cop "what are you gonna do about it?"; the answer is probably going to be a chance to where a really nifty set of linked bracelets...

In this particular case, the original poster was dealt with fairly kindly when the thread started; it was explained why it's not possible to train properly without being taught by an instructor. Someone revived the thread today with an admittedly harsh response; they've apologized for their harshness. What more do you want?

WOW. This is just becoming silly and out of hand. The OP then stated that there was a Dojo 1 hour from him that he would like to go to.

There are no stupid questions, if you are Genuinely seeking knowledge, I have asked Instructors, Teachers, Mentors, etc.. questions that were not their speciality, and were able to answer me and help in ways perhaps someone who was a specialist etc..

Think outside the box and lets not start a flame war here ok, you guys knew exactly what I meant when I said there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Don't go looking for trouble in the wrong place, please, I'm not looking for trouble.

Hopefully we can end it here.

Best Regards to All.

And how would you know that?
Low post counts are as indicative to trolling as stupid questions...

I suppose I will just have to post again, sucked back into this :rolleyes:, but do you honestly mean to say that being new/having a low post count is equivalent to not being worthy of being taken seriously, and having a large post count makes you a god here? Screw that noise, I've never heard something so rediculous in my life and frankly thats disgusting.

Like I said stop looking for trouble when there shouldnt be any.

Good Day.

What I'm saying is that you have no way of knowing whether or not the OP was genuinely interested in learning Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, or merely had a fascination with all things ninja-like. The latter is more common than you may think.

That's it for me on this topic.

I throw in my towel as well. ;) Glad this ended civil-like.

reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

There are no stupid questions - just stupid people.

That's all. I just love that quote. Nothing else to add.

-Daniel

PS. By the way NIM - I got the reasons for your questions. I was laughing as I read them...
