Not sure if its allowed to simply link to your own FB page. Secondly, your diploma says White Tiger Kung fu, yet, you have a custom style named White tiger Ninjutsu? Is there a link between kung fu and ninjutsu?
Absolute fraud, Mcdojo, bullshido and every single other epithet and synonym for "steaming pile of crap" you can think of I mean look at these clowns http://www.ninjutsusociety.net/id26.htm You even have Bob freakin Yoder listed!!! If you are not trolling you are deluded.... Welcome to MAP
Let's all be respectful of one another. This should be a place for adults to have enlightened conversations.
I don't know Bob freakin' Yoder personally but I'm going to guess that he doesn't waste copious amounts of time on the internet berating others.
First you state you want to have respectful conversations and then you turn around and insult someone. And the irony of your use of the word LARPING, when we've seen your Facebook page, is not lost on anyone on this message board. And thank you for those links which appear to be written by no one of note. They sure showed me!
Welcome, Would you mind telling us a bit more please? What's your lineage? When was your ryu founded? Who founded it? Where was it active?
The wonders of high speed wireless Internet and smart phones makes it incredibly fast and easy to post on MAP regularly, as well as access half a dozen other websites at the same time. We're not in the age of Windows DOS and achingly slow dial-up anymore. My post count per day average is close to Hannibal's and I train 3-4 hours a day, so...
Here is the link to the source of one of the diplomas: http://martialartsmastersassociation.com/ Here is the link to the source of the another of the diplomas: http://www.combatmartialarts.com/ So at least two of the diplomas are from dodgy pay to play martial art diploma mills. According to certificates shown on the Facebook page the lineage is through Doo Wai and Robert Gary. There are plenty of videos on the web where Doo Wai demonstrates his style.
That argument has always been a poor one. There is plenty of time in the day to things other than training and as VZ has pointed out modern technology makes it easier than ever to use the net.
#1. This goes both ways. Just to let you know that the Ninjutsu sub-forum is heavily moderated and trolling, abuse or pimping of your own stuff will not be tolerated. #2+3. If you intended your original post to be a conversation started, you should have posted some text rather than just pimping your own site.
I see you also run "Tai Chi Iowa" https://www.facebook.com/taichiiowa with a youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5WocCYb2BVlVLesLscT8Dg
Hi I'd suggest that most arts have experienced periods of cross fertilisation during their history and this includes ninjutsu, no great revelation there, but I'm not sure what point you're making? What aspects of ninjutsu would you like to discuss?
See how you have posted 3 in a short period of time? Just like that From someone who makes up a style and additionally claims "koga" this is the epitome of ironic No he rips people off with fraudulent claims of bogus ranks in a made up system which takes up most of his time Taking into account this is the Ninjutsu forum I will ask: 1) What is your lineage 2) Who is your Instructor 3) Why have you made up a style and called it "ninjutsu" rather than teach the style you are actually qualified in 4) Given that you claim "Black Dragon" what is your link - Kim or Dante? (Or was this something that occurred to you after watcjing "Bloodsport" reruns?)
White Tiger Kung Fu looks awesome though! For just $299 you can buy a DVD of a piece of paper moving a bit. Note that it might not work for you every time. All sales are final http://www.whitetigerkungfu.com/moving_paper_ging_projection.html
I've just had a look at this guy. http://www.ninjutsusociety.net/id160.htm Why am I suddenly sceptical?
