Ninjutsu

[PQUOTE=AJ Camacho;47715]"Replacement fighter Steve Jennum won the tournament by defeating Harold Howard via submission due to strikes, despite only fighting in the finals. Jennum was a replacement for Ken Shamrock, who made it to the finals but withdrew due to injury. This was the first UFC tournament that was not won by Royce Gracie (who could not continue due to fatigue)." - Wiki[/QUOTE]

AJ...I knew he only fought 1 fight that night. I watched live on ppv. But your the one who threw up a video of Scott Morris. Scott Morris was a joke and he shouldn't have been repping any style. Steve was a top guy of Robert Bussey Warrior International, he did ok. Ninjitsu is for selfdefense not mma. Yes there are a lot of frauds in Ninjitsu too.

there are effective techniques in nearly every martial art, including ninjitsu. Just because one has more than another doesen't mean it should be discarded completely. Remember how no one ever used the axe kick from tkd until cro-cop came along and put it to good use? Remember, refusing to accept a martial art as viable in one way or another is not going to improve you as a martial artist. The more you know, the better rounded you are as a fighter.

I'm not saying you should go out and spend all your time training in ninjitsu, but I am saying you should be open minded to the fact that there ARE techniques in every martial art that works. Remember the power behind joe hogans spinning back kick.

and isn't the tenth planet philosophy about being open minded?

I am.

And it is.

the thing about ninjitsu is if you learn all these deadly techniques then how the hell are you suppose to know if they work because you can't go around killing people?

Scott Morris had the balls to go into the cage to test what he trained. Where are the other ninjas that can claim that? I didn't post that video to mock Morris, I respect anybody who's willing to put theory to the test. My point was that any martial art has the ability to test it's merit in unarmed combat. Yes, modern MMA is more sport than a death sport, but there was a time when there were no rules and that time was the early UFC.

As for Jennum, the dude went 2 - 3 before quitting MMA and his claim to faim, of winning UFC 2 by technicality isn't really something to brag about.

I wouldn't mind learning how to ninja vanish. =D Or how to throw a ninja star 25 yards with pinpoint accuracy at a moving target. Oh yeah, and how to run on treetops in the moonlight.
