8th Degree BB Ninjutsu? By phatbway - 02-26-2009 04:14 PM

=========

OK, I must warn you I know NOTHING about Ninjutsu, so here goes. This 16 yr. old boy joined our TKD/HKD club and claim he is an 8th degree BB in Ninjutsu?????? He said he started since age 6. So he's been at it for 10 years.
how do your stuff work? how is that possible?

thanks for your response in advance.

Well, when I trained with my master in Taijutsu (which is ninjutsu, just the empty hand practice) NO one could receive 1st Dan (1st degree black) in less than 2 years. After that, your advancement is based on how well you execute your skill, how well you teach, etc. I knew an 11yr old named Tray, 2nd Dan, who would occasionally teach a few techniques to us, he knew his stuff.

To get 5th dan, you must go to Japan and have Hatsumi Sensei HIMSELF test you. Ask him if he had done this, and maybe hes legit, but he better be superhuman. Otherwise, hes lying...

Not Correct

That does not sound correct. It usually takes a minimum of 4 years just to get to Shodan. My instructor is an 7th degree, but has been practicing the art for over 20 years. Yes, he did test with Hatsumi for his 5th degree.
