3rd Black Belt
i "checked out" a book from our local library about different martial art styles... mostly because it had a section of ninjutsu. it had a couple of guys from the bujinkan showing some techniques and different defenses. other than their hairstyles being outdated it was alright.
now i saw that they crossed their legs while doing a certain technique and found it strange. in rtms we really don't ever cross our legs while doing any technique for loss of balance and getting yourself tripped up. also i believe upon crossing your legs, for that instant you are limiting your weaponry. now you can't kick in defense.
i was wondering if anyone else uses "crossing legs" technique as a real option in your style? if so why? if not why? i personally don't think its practicle.
peace
