Now I ask you the oposing question, why bother to dicide who is ninja and who isnt? |
Like you said its a useless title, but some people need a title to give them some sort of self empowerment. Which better to have a 13 year old read "ninjitsu books" or take actual classes on ninjitsu and call themselves a "ninja" for doing so. Or go out and rob lil old ladies and call themselves a Crip or a Blood? All titles (belts, trophies etc) are useless, the only award for a soldier who kills the enemy on the battlefield is living to kill again the next day. The only usefulness for a martial art is being able to defend yourself and empower yourself through learning to take action everything else is ego...
