My more modest goals are to get in the best shape of my life this year (using more traditional methods). Martial arts wise, someday I would like to learn the practice of Tai Chi in all its martial aspects.

If I can get my old sifu to agree, I think I'm going to focus on Pakua this year.. He's pretty particular about teaching that one.. But if I get him good and drunk first :)

If you liked that one, then you'll love this:

YouTube - Urban Ninjas!!!

Those are the EMC Monkeys, MAYBE NOT THE BEST. DEFINITELY NOT THE FIRST. BUT FOR SURE THE COOLEST. ... they do "tricking" its basically acrobats with a twist (like running and flipping off a wall) if i remember correctly (havent been to their site in forever) their goal was to be stunt guys in martial arts movies.

I wouldn't actually call them martial artist, more acrobats.

Here is one of the Chloe Bruce vids


YouTube - Irish Open 2007 Chloe Bruce


A little more toward the Martial Arts side of things, the control factor she has is incredible...

The other vids are showing a lot of acrobatics but it is also obvious from many of their body movements that most of these guys have a base in actual Martial Arts...

This is my response...

Bruno -

I am glad to hear that someone understands that a being a ninja was not about fighting. Most of the what the world knows as "Ninjutsu" or Ninja is horribly inaccurate. A ninja's first and foremost role was as reconnaissance, functioning as the eyes and ears of his master. The fighting was very secondary.

The mental and physical training of ancient Ninjutsu would put to shame the training of Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, and British SAS. Consequently, in today's lawsuit happy world, the art has all but disappeared.

If you'd like some reading on the history, Stephen K. Hayes has written some good books. However, I wouldn't look to him or his school for training. His style is said to be quite watered down.
