I want to try ninjistu training, and the nearest school is 3 hours away. I found a site that teaches it with weekly classes, for testing you send in a video of yourself doing the tests. Do you think it is worth it?
No, no and no. To get a meaningful grade you need to meet up with a qualified shidoshi or shihan (instructor). There is no substitute for that. I've been doing budo taijutsu on and off for 5 years so i can tell you that with confidence. Be careful by the way, if anyone is offering to teach you 'ninjistu' avoid it like a dirty used hypodermic needle. Join this forum, we have a board for students without teachers. http://www.kutaki.org/modules/newbb/ Some more links- Wikipedia entry on the bujinkan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bujinkan Bujinkan hombu dojo http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/bujinkan/ Bujinkan Taka-Seigi (you can get podcasts from hatsumi sensei the grandmaster) http://www.shinkentaijutsu.com/
Ninjitsu/Ninpo is ALOT of theory. You can do alot on your own just by reading and memorizing. And the only "real" schools of ninja, you wont find They will find you.
