Yes, HK, this is the Ninjutsu forum so you certainly have a valid point. However, there is (as you are aware from your other posts) certain tension levels between Hayes' organisation and what we may call the Ninjutsu mainstream (Bujinkan for the most part). There is also a dedicated Toshindo section of the forum, where Hayes and his approach (seperate from the Bujinkan/Genbukan etc approach) is discussed, and therefore is probably the more appropriate section for this thread as Cryozombie said.
I may suggest being a little careful of overzealous support here. Hayes is certainly one of the most experienced, if not the most experienced Ninjutsu-organsation teacher in America, but to state that that equates to the best qualified may raise some ire. Again, I will keep my personal opinions to myself on Hayes qualification and skill, suffice to say that the answer will always be in the beholder's eyes. And your profile states that you are still a beginner in the art, so I invite you to realise that differing levels of experience will give different opinions.
