    Looking for a Kata

    Hi Chris-excellent clarification on the details requested and much appreciated. Now am aware too why the tengu pics didnt seem to flow! Thanks too for the tip on who the Tengu were showing this to. I must keep in mind that Soke Hatsumi often has much more than the "bujinkan" ryu to show...

When in japan went to a bookshop that Andrew Macdonald knew of and bought a book by Soke Hatsumi on Spear work.This book is the one that contains pics of the Tengu teaching techniques.As i do not know enough of the language am not sure what...

    Is this Qi ?

    Hi-am not sure is my immediate answer-i have had rather lucid dream moments though no obe as i understand them whilst in the normal state-the literature seems to indicate the possibility of being in two places eg physically in bed whilst mentally out elsewhere. The only time i can achieve such...

    Why the number 9?

    Hi to all-was reading through the posts on the Philosophy &etc. section of this Forum and it occurred to me that the number 9 is often mentioned in regards to Ninjutsu(apart from the "elements" numbering 5). I have several of the books by Soke Hatsumi and others but couldnt find any real or...

    history of the tengu

    Hi-thanks too for the tip on A.Cummins. I googled him and found some info though admittedly it was, mostly, of him by him! It may rebound on me... however... think it would be appropriate to use your term "odd idea" person here too in this particular case anyway. Have also begun to do Adelaide...

    A question about names

    Hi-yes indeed there appears to be much thought into the meaning of names. Many cultures seem intent on providing what they consider appropriate names at various times within ones life.Birth,coming of age,marriage,death etc. Each of these type events involve a change of some nature and so a...

    Is this Qi ?

    Hi-was intrigued by your description of this "energy". It does sound similar to the descriptions of qi so may well be that you have the capacity to collect and concentrate that energy form. However,there may be an alternative. Are you able to or do you have Obe's(out of body experiences)...

    Have You Smoked/Used Tobacco?

    Hi to you all-in regards to giving up cigarettes, there appears to be several herbs that will bind to the same receptors in your body as nicotine&etc do.This capability then negates the urge to have a cigarette because your body feels it has just had one(once you are using these herbs etc)...

    Hi-as stated earlier, the data was not my belief so would appreciate you not insisting it was continously.

    history of the tengu

    Thanks though got the gist of all that already.Am looking more towards the anthropological and social research into various shamanic cultures or traditions that may have coexisted in the same areas as the early ninja to see what types of crossover effects may have occurred between the two groups...

    Hi Lisa-wow,looks like you got most covered though no.6 may be an issue for some as may overwork the kidneys and cause energy loss etc whilst no.16 and no.9 go well together too or just squeeze half a lemon in.The slightly acidic nature of citrus will help flush out toxins gathered overnight...

    history of the tengu

    Hi to all-have some pics of training scrolls used by Bujinkan Soke Hatsumi that show "tengu" teaching spear techniques.Have googled this term however the data is rather fairy-taleish and was hoping someone could refer me to any serious/academic research concerning these early ninja instructors...

    Hi-well where do i start? Firstly yes i am new to this forum.I have also asked Mr.Hubbard for advice on my text layout as when i write it up i do space it out etc yet when sent, it just runs it all together.I was the one btw who asked him to do the layout as i could not get it right etc.So,am...

    Ninja Forum FAQ:

    hi-just to be clear-the data i gave is not my version nor my history-as stated in the text it came from Blitz magazine-i was just passing on the data for others to check out and discuss etc on this discussion forum-so correcting and lecturing me seems little more than "shooting the messenger"...

    A question about names

    Hi-after reading through the replies to your query thought you may be interested to know why i use the nickname "shirobanryunotora". One night after training with Shihan Nagato, he approached and commented whilst grinning that i looked rather "shiroban".I had not been very well over the last...

    Ninja Forum FAQ:

    Hi-sure and will check it out though am unsure how info dealing with history can be "out of date" exactly? Imo just because info is considered by some to be old/outdated does not mean it is not relevant esp. in regards to events/MAs that are inherently old anyway(from our point of...

    What is "Traditional Ninjutsu"?

    Hi again-have gone through much of this threads data-have a question regarding the definition parameter used. Wouldn't it be more apt to include all of prev.Soke Takamatsu's lineages and teachings rather than only those handed down through Soke Hatsumi?(unless Soke Hatsumi got them all? in which...

    Ninja Forum FAQ:

    Hi Mr.B.Hubbard-was going through the sites older data in regards to history and lineages-noticed that Kizaru 26/9/2004 3.10am had the opinion that Iga/Koga ryu died out with Fujita Seiko etc-however the data i have on this ryu is that this was not correct-my data indicates that 14th Soke...

    Masaaki Hatsumi

    Hmm-not sure-guess each case would have to be looked at individually-the grading time would be up to Soke Hatsumi(or whoever doing the grading)-was just trying to emphasize that kyu gradings are not often done in japan and so whilst they could raise funds if used they tend not to be-yep...

    Masaaki Hatsumi

    Hi to all-after reading through the comments concerning this issue am aware this is a somewhat touchy subject however the following should be kept in mind.Historically the ninja had no gradings.Am not sure whether prev.Soke Takamatsu used a grading system.From what i understand Soke Hatsumi...
