Black Belt question

[opr1945144 31]

I came across this on e-bay. can anyone translate it for me. The seller said he bought it at a yard sale and knew nothing about it. Is the language Japanese? Thanks.

Left = Shikigamikan Budo Dojo

Right = ?Ninpo Taijutsu?

It’s a ninjutsu belt. For your own safety, burn it immediately!

I though Ninjas did not exist?
did you make this up again?

Ninjitsu is practiced as a martial art, even if its authenticity and relation to ninjas is frequently questioned.

I though Ninjas did not exist?

They want you to believe that by weaving elaborate nonsense around the art: silly uniforms tied at the ankle, rolling around at the slightest provocation, silly purple-haired seniors and gradings where they whack the candidate over the head with a kendo shinai and fracturous politics about the legitimacy of each school to what was a highly secret art. But they do exist, but if anyone claims to be a ninja, they’re probably not.

The first rule of ninjutsu is, don’t talk about ninjutsu.

did you make this up again?

If you use Google Translate, you’ll see the translation is true.

okay, Thanks. Some times with your, Gyakuto, posts it is hard to distinuish reality from fantasy.

Kinda weird isn’t it, that people are just selling their used black belts at yard sales and on eBay? What kind of person buys such a thing?

 

[opr1945144 31]

Seller: perhaps owner died, had an epiphany and no longer wanted reminder of martial art participation, perhaps stolen or lost finder selling, or ex spouse selling for spite?

Buyer: Well, me for one. how many people have imitation super bowl rings, world series rings?

I have always been told you have to work hard to underestimate my lack of good taste.

I also have pictures of Karate Masters on my wall.

I see the belts as wall hangers, motivational items.

I am confortable doing what I am doing. Thanks.

You might not know about it, but some people spend $ to preserve dead animals, birds, and fish so they can be hung on a wall. Other people wear dead animals skins as protection from inclement weather.

Yes, in a ninja kill because they didn’t keep their traps shut!

had an epiphany and no longer wanted reminder of martial art participation,

of a martial art of which they were never a number (Don’t talk about Ninja, dude!)

perhaps stolen or lost finder selling,

Stollen by another nin…you know.

or ex spouse selling for spite?

<gasp> There are laws against that kind of thing

Buyer: Well, me for one. how many people have imitation super bowl rings, world series rings?

Do they?

Oh I think we’re getting an idea of it’s breadth and scale

You collect whatever tickles your fancy! If you find it motivational, then fantastic.

That’s because ninja don’t exist (be cool man, be cool)

Will let you know more when I get it. (Clarification: I purchased it on ebay. The ebay seller said he bought it at yard sale and knew nothing of the history.)

I have a secret, but now after so many years keeping it hidden in true ninja fashion I decide it’s time to shade public light on it……a long many years ago I took a few ninja classes …..so now I’ve gotten that out of me. I will further reveal that the teacher(who was the head of Hatsumis European branch was(still is ?)) exceptionally skilled, his belt was worn out as a true masters belt, even his Gi(uniform) was worn into a gray shade(starting out all black I guess) as if been through plenty of action(missions) for multiple of decades.

No, no, you haven’t, please no ( don’t talk about it dude…they’ll come for you and your belts will be ‘bought at a yard sale’ and be sold on ebay).

I not worried ive taken precautions , belts and I are not stored at same locations of the world, and I’ve by now been into the by far more superior Chinese arts of martial, stealth and deception than any ninja can handle, not even in their dreams…..Did I say too much again !
