IntroductionIntroduce yourselves in here - Your background, style, interest, etc.
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.

just a question why the mix of chinese and Japanese in the name of your art i.e shaolin being chinese and ninjitsu being japanese?
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?
