Shao-Lin Kuei Ninjitsu

I am 10th Dan Shao-Lin Kuei Ninjitsu (Shaolin Forest Demon Ninjitsu, developed from Wong Yam Lum's Tiger kung fu), and 10th Dan Tai Shing Pek Kwar (Chinese monkey style).

My teacher is named Takeshi Ukeno, and he is perhaps one of the most respected teachers in the United States, outside of guys like Adam Hsu and Yang Jwing Ming.

It's nice to meet you guys. I've been doing martial arts for at least 45 years or more, so I have a pretty good understanding of what I'm talking about.

I've studied Judo, Jujitsu, and Krav Maga as well, but thought they kind of sucked, and left them be. Nothing will ever compare to Ninjitsu.

Most people have no idea who the Lin Kuei were, their connection to Wong Yang Lum and the Shaolin temple, etc. I also studied Ninjitsu. So it's just for simplicity. It's Shaolin Kuei spliced with Ninjitsu (and they're almost the same thing anyways; two sides of the same coin).

It also has personal meaning, since I am half-Japanese, half-Chinese.

Thats cool, I like the meaning behind it too, so its your own art?

Welcome.

Though, I think is is calamitous to mix Japanese stuff with Chinese. People from both cultures would be offended to say the least, lose face.

Sensei/Shifu=Senfu. Might as well rename sushi to sukung paoshi

Wow! Could you give us some more information about your instructor? I did a google search but only got several posts on various forums.

How long did it take to earn your 10th?

Personally, I think anyone saying they are 10th degree of something has a numeric accretionary fetish.

I am willing to be fooled a whole bunch as long as every once in while I meet someone who is singularly great. Benefit of the doubt.
