Hi,
Not too sure about the site. I seem to get a little whipped by the people whom live in Japan. But whatever. So far I'm enjoying myself.
Let's see. I wanna be a ninja. Ever since I read the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics (Mirage) I've wanted to become one. To be able to learn how to do, takedowns, throws, weapons, joint locks, pressure point techs, stealth, camo, concealment, climbing, movement, etc, is all the stuff I want to learn. Sadly, at the time there weren't any dojo's near me so I waited.
In 2001, I found out about the Tew Ryu site and have been interested in it. Then I became more interested in it when I found out he learned from Bussey. Then I looked around some more and found out about the Richard Van Donk ninjutsu in 2002. I was a little concerned because I didn't know if it had all what I wanted to learn. After a more intuitive search I found out his syllubus and decided it was okay for me.
As of now I am still saving for the two courses (home study course) but by the end of this year of the beginning of the next I should have them both. I'd like to learn them side by side so that it won't be that hard in learning them. Also I think it would be an educational experiance to see how different Tew is to Van Donk.
I know HSC's should be used as suppliments but I'm am rather far away from a dojo and do not have the means to provide me with the ability to go to one twice a week. The closest one that supports the ABD is one in SF, which is over 40 miles away. As I pursue this HSC I'd also pursue some classes/seminars in SF. To round out my learning.
Sadly, the Tew Ryu one is over 80 miles away but someday I'll visit that dojo too.
In March I'll be going to a Tai Kai/training camp organized by Richard Van Donk. It'll be my first seminar. And I'm sure I'll be learning a lot. Hopefully in March I'll be able to see one of Dale Seago's seminar's too (if he does one in March).
Do I like modern or traditional ninjutsu better?
I don't know. I've always been on the boarder line of issues. I try not to be bias. I probably have more of a modern mindset though. Personally I like all types of ninjutsu as long as it sticks with the roots of ninjutsu.
I think that is good enough.
I love nature, the mental, spiritual and physical elements of ninjutsu, comics, video games, horror, playin' around, training and learning new things.
Plus I'm open minded so that might get me in trouble.
