what he can do against kick boxer?

[ShorinRyuRonin]

@shinobiue95, Probably rip him apart. Kick boxer use gloves and have rules, these guys dont fight for money with rules.

[trevisfat]

dont train as hard as shaolin

[ShorinRyuRonin]

@trevisfat, Japanese work just as hard as Chinese. You can look at anything in Japan it is all an art form, even though most of what is in Japan was adapted from Chinese.

@Timmah603 Ok.I didn't say anything about Basketball. :)

[Timmah603]

@shinobiue95 It is a martial art made INTO sport, just as boxing is. Basketball? THAT is a sport, NOT a martial art. Perhaps you should google "Martial Arts" for a definition?

[shinobiue95]

@Timmah603 Kickboxing isn't martial art, it's sport :)

[Timmah603]

@shinobiue95 Kickboxing is a martial art for fighting, Ninjutsu more for killing and doing so quickly and quietly... You tell me?

[pacbizkit]

love the thought of him walking round you and starting several small fires without you knowing lol

[tequieroputa100]

Bujinkan is the best¡¡¡¡ if you dont know, now you know

[Gabri3lification]

@ShorinRyuRonin i actually know someone who teaches this in MA. showed me the basics, sanshin no kata and basic movement and after a while we started sparing, tell you what, being on the receiving end of either of the gyaku's (only demonstrated two dunno if there's more) is painful if you don't know how to handle it lol, and at normal speed would definitely break something.

I'm obsessed with Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi. I want to learn all I can about him. Then again, the only way I'll truly know about him is if I were to attend his classes, but there's no way I'd last! xD

[shinobiue95]

@kasrkin110 Yes, I agree.And, what is your opinion of Ninjutsu like sport and martial art? Is it useful on the streets, and which sport/martial art is the most useful? :)
