Just a quick note, the Black Dragon Society has nothing to do with ninjutsu outside of the fantasies of people like Ashida Kim.
The original was a Japanese society that started in the 20th century to serve Japan's interests. Yes there was some sneaking and killing people from behind, nothing that the rest of the world has not seen and nothing "ninjutsu"specific about it.
The second group was started by a guy calling himself Count Dante who had some martial arts schools and ads on the back of several comic books. Some people consider him a joke, some a great martial artist. But his orginization had no link to ninjutsu until Ashida Kim tried using the name and affiliation. Rather nasty legal stuff went on.
Kim started a few orginizations overseas using the Black Dragon name. Here is an example of one of them.

Personally, I find them pretty amusing. They have no affiliation with either the original Japanese version or the one started in the US. They were started by Ashida Kim followers as far as I can tell.
Just a side note, whenever people like Sojobow start talking about things like this, demand sources that you can access yourself. If he refuses to give it (check his past posts- it is his pattern to do so) then just ignore what he has to say. It saves a lot of screaming in the long run.
