Japan's last ninja ever?

~ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20135674

i really feel like ‘the art of ninjutsu’ is the most overhyped martial art in the history of the world.

What a noob thread, everyone knows that the last of ANYTHING is always some random white guy.

i blame video games.

the ninja were just a group of assassins who had varying degrees of success. they weren’t supermen or insanely special. 99% of the shit they’re supposedly able to do or have done is all hype

Samurai>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ninjas

How does a real ninjutsu work anyway? The ones I see in media are overly exaggerated.

Well, It’s better than allowing a white guy to be the last samurai…FUCK TOM CRUISE!

well, a team of Ninja Nacho Dogs could never beat the Samurai Pizza Cats

Bullshit. Hatsumi doesn’t claim to be from a ninja clan. He’s a grandmaster of nine traditional martial arts that he teaches holistically, three of which were used by ninja. That’s about it. He doesn’t even call his art ‘ninjutsu’ - this is a nickname applied by the West.

Ninja have been dead for a long time and Hatsumi is the first to admit it.

drunken fist > than all you bitches

who needs ninjas when we have james bond

I still miss Farley to this day.

^ That’s one of my favorite scenes from that movie.

You just sneak into a place by looking and dressing like you belong there (like a latino ninja joining a lawnscaping crew to kill his target, the guy who hired the crew), not by wearing black pj’s in broad daylight and cartwheeling into and out of bushes. No mile-high jumps, or tree-jumping. No ki attacks. Just live a double-identity for a day to a month in your target’s area. Kill them or spy on them until you learn what you need, then dip. Anyone can do this ninja shit.

pffft, everybody knows the REAL ninja’s don’t give out their identity. Fear the ones who nobody knows about.

No, it shouldn’t. It’s a part of human history, and deserves preservation.

However, it needs to be accurately preserved, or as close as possible, given how little documentation from the time as there is.

This. These so called “Last Ninjas” are just the last of the scrubs.

Isn’t one of the main goals of ninja to dissapear?

Nah, it’s to be invisible. Dissapear means you’ve been discovered, and being discovered is punishable by death.

:mad:

Ruin my joke will you? NINJA ASSASSINS!! GET HIM!!!

… Oh. yeah. That…

wait how do we knoe these are the last 2 ninjas are meant to be good at hiding…
