Does Ninjutsu really work for modern self-defense? According to students and practitioners, the answer is "yes." But...
...the answer is very different on the "bullshido barking dog" side of the fence.
The truth is... no matter what you study, the answer could go either way. Seriously, no matter what our ego tells us is true (we all want to believe that
what we're doing is not only right, but... "BEST!")
It's kind of like that old TV show, "Deadliest Warrior," where they pitted two combatants from different systems against each other... right now I'm thinking about the one where they had a US Army Special Forces dude, go against a Russion Spetsnaz soldier, but they had other, more unlikely matchups also, like:
- Apache vs.
Gladiator
- Viking vs. Samurai
- Yakuza vs. Mafia
- etc.
Anyway... back to the special forces matchup...
Everything from guns and knives, to other tests were run through, where they competed for scores based on accuracy, proficiency, depth of cuts, kill damage, and more. And...
...if you weren't careful, you'd think that the score was an
indicator about the art itself (the Spetznaz soldier won in that episode)...
...when it was really about the individual combatants... on THAT day!
And that's the same in the martial arts and self-defense world, where it comes down to not just techniques... but training formats, focus and, yes, the individual in the moment that he or she
needs to protect themselves or others. And, let's not forget the fact that we're all... you and me included...
...are easy to kill! (The point of proper training is to become "harder" to kill!)
I talk more about this in my f.r.e.e ebook that I wrote for serious, self-defense oriented students looking to use this stuff on the streets, today, in the 21st
century... and not those who still fantasize about being that character in the last Ninja movie they watched!
