Just watched Fight Quest:Ninjutsu. I'm embarrassed. By swiftpete - 01-28-2008 01:53 PM

=========

Just watched this. I don't know if anyone has seen this episode, the two fighters meet up with a ninjutsu instructor called yost fulton, they train for a week at various other schools, then have a bokken matchup at the end with a supposed 13th dan and 15th dan from his school. Incredibly, the guy that had only trained for a week with no prior martial arts training embarrassed the 13th dan, easily winning and the 15th dan guy when trying to go for an empty hand takedown was embarrassingly countered easily, thrown by his opponent and then presented his back for a nice rear naked choke. The untrained guy didnt actually put the choke in, but he easily could've.

Their lack of skill was embarrassing. At their rank, they should've not even been tested by 2 untrained amateurs never mind one of them losing!

Its a shame the program didn't feature anyone that actually has a bit of skill and hasn't just bought their grade. I am astounded by what I just saw and I am sure the 2 highly graded students must surely have been redfaced and sheepish afterwards.

Be aware the two "amateurs" aren't really all that inexperienced - the smaller guy is a jiu jitsu blue belt with a lot of training in muay thai and western boxing. The bigger bald-headed guy is a professional MMA fighter...

Um. All the fights in Fight Quest and Human Weapon are fixed, just so you know.

That was human weapon not fight quest

[Maxx]

If it was Human Weapon and it was the smaller guy who was competing, you should know his name is Jason Chambers. He's at least a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu although he may have his black now. He's also got experience in JKD and Muay Thai and Filipino Martial Arts. I believe he's also a professional Mix Martial Artist. Assuming that this is the individual you are talking about, it's not suprising the ninjutsu practitioner lost.

Not to start a riot here but from what I have seen and read about ninjutsu is that it is not suitable for modern day fighting. All the things they teach is geared towards fuedal Japan including the weapons and hand to hand they teach. I mean seriously, who carries shurikens or caltrips or blinding powders with them in todays society????
