Ya know Jubaji,

I think I will call into question your credibility. Ok, so I admit I have too much time on my hands, but I took the time to look up your last 100 posts. Out of those 100 posts guess how many where at least 3 lines long? That's right, --> 1. Also, out of all 100 posts, not once did you say add anything important to the discussion. And don't try to tell me that you can say the same thing as others using less words. The most common response you typed in? "...............:eyeroll".

I am starting a new thread on the martial artist's attitude and how as martial artist should be as a person. I am extremely curious to see how you think your negative attitude is contributing to the martial arts. I await your input on that thread.

I can hear cindy lauper singing now...("your true colors", blah,blah,blah...). Your half-hearted attempts at presenting a 'reasonable' face are falling away and the self-important, pretentious poser within is being revealed. Your gonna tell people how they "should" be. Your gonna decide what is an appropriate attitude. Your gonna determine what is and is not "important" in a discussion. And what qualifies you to take this position of moral arbiter? You've watched a lot of ninja turtle cartoons and absorbed a spiritual purity
that allows you to understand the no-touch ki attack?

I know you're waiting for it, so ........

Now, would you like to get back to your own point, or would you like to expound upon your formula for number of words in a post and level of credibility?

Oh, almost forgot....

As I said, I await your responses.

As I said, I await your responses.

The last time you asked a question I answered it. Next?

[Hikage]

Jubaji, I direct your attention to the thread I recently started. I have enjoyed this debate with you and await your responses and the responses of others in my new thread. Thanks.

thanks for all the info Hikage

One more thing...since i really don't have a dojo nearby...would you suggest me using the following videos?

Yeah, they look good. Any video with Hatsumi is going to be worth your while. As a beginner, I urge you to look at videos that refer to kihon happo and the fundamentals. The more advanced videos are probably more interesting to you, but you're not going to be able to do the techniques correctly.

Furthermore, (I know you know this, but I feel I need to say it for benefit of the other people who are reading this and wondering the same thing) don't think that by watching videos that you're some kinda ninjia and can put on pajamas and run through the woods hunting wild demons. Videos and books are great for a start and for a reference, but you always should find someone who knows what they are talking about to help you do the techiniques safely the benefit of you and anyone you practice with.

Good luck and happy ninjitsu'ing.
