christa jacobson is garbage. she or he is a year older than me and is a anshu? shit, please. The stuff in her videos is going to get someone killed, her knife fighting is garbage, looks like watered down FMA, here empty hands is watered down JKD, what ninjutsu she does know or may know is right out of a book.
Her history is garbage, true she has a black in kenpo and thats all. Her supposd ninjutsu instructou Kobayashi Ichiro, is actually Ichiro Kobayashi, a orchestra conductor from thje 70s. Google it and you will see. She has no understanding of regions and origins of arts, Eshin Ryu Iaijutsu, nobody on the official site has her listed, american ju jitsu sites, nothing, and even Anshu Hayes, has nothing of her or a school in Kansas. I called her on her shit and will continue to do so. I advise everyone to do history research. And as far as being inducted in the hall of fame, not even happened.
[QUOTE=datdamnmachine;1234133]Isn’t ninjitsu, historically anyways, more of a mindset? More a way of thinking about tactics, kind of like todays spies and special ops? I would think that those (teh r3al) CIA spies and super secret black ops units would be the logical present day version of a ninja; you know, since some fool walking around in all black and tabi boots would probably get beat; or if your just black period…hahahaah…sorry, bad Rodney King joke.[/QUOTE]
In all likelihood Ninjutsu was a collection of techniques for putting together a decent disguise, some techniques for setting buildings on fire and maybe a couple attacks that can be done with concealed weapons. Nothing like this modern deadliest warrior shit. If you look at most of the high profile assassinations they did things like fire a musket from a concealed position or threw shuriken dipped in goat’s blood to try to cause an infection. Supposedly there was a counter ninja that used a flamethrower though, which is pretty cool. The name’s kind of like “assassin” though, where the common perception is a highly trained master going around with a bunch of throwing knives but the actual reality was usually more of an asshole with a gun or some explosives.
EDIT: Suffice it to say though that there’s no reason to believe any of this shit is legitimate and it’s probably not worth worrying about because most people just want a black belt and aren’t going to listen to you when you call bullshit.
