Ninjas to the rescue!

[Balrog]

In a rescue worthy of the Mutant Ninja Turtles, five Sydney ninjas went to the aid of a commuter as he was being robbed of his mobile phone in a Sydney alleyway.



The 27-year-old German medical student had been confronted by three thugs as he sat alone on a late-night train to Kingswood, in Sydney's western suburbs on Wednesday night.



He refused to hand over his wallet when they demanded it, but they followed him off the train and saw their chance when he turned into the dimly lit alley.



But their assault was brought to a sudden stop when they looked up from kicking their victim and saw the ninjas, dressed completely in black, running toward them.

If they had looked a bit more carefully as they trailed the student into the alley, they might have noticed that the spot where they had chosen to launch their attack was right outside the doors of the Ninja Senshi Ryu school, a Japanese martial arts school that trains would be ninja warriors.

Gotta love it!

Lol, this is hilarious! I can only imagine the faces of the guys kicking the victims face in and stopping when they see dudes in ninja suits just straight rushing them.

I never heard of that style. Is it a breakaway group from bujinkan?

I weep that there was nobody with a video camera.

I haven't come across them, and I haven't heard of Kaylan Soto, the instructor, but based on their website's description of their regular class schedule, it sounds like a breakaway from us.

"The look on their faces — they would have seen five guys in ninja costumes running towards them.
"It was like one of those cartoons where the skeletons jump out of the body."
Mr Soto said the three attackers took off at "a million miles an hour" after seeing five men in ninja outfits running towards them.

ROFL. Those ninjas can really say they've contributed to society.
