I agree that the weights are not necessarily a good idea. I have never actually attempted the regimen I described above. I was merely posting something that I had read.
I think the weight thing is a good idea.
I can see myself jumping onto high things.
But i dont think i would need to come back down.
It would probably be painful.
So i actually might try the weight things.
Although i live in an apartment and i cant legally dig a knee deep hole in my backyard...stupid management!
And by the way,if anyone wants to compare their arts history to mine,please feel free to do so...
(sorry if this is a bit off-topic but)
oh god i cant beileive i havent shown this yet.
This a(not by me) guide to being a ninja(or at least,what the author has made of a ninja,your opinion is the one that matters)
!I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANYTHING IN THIS GUIDE!
just wait a few seconds once the page loads and download it
heres the download link:
Wow, that guide is amazingly thorough, theres no way that I could put all of that into my post. I wonder how they found all that information, of course they must have gotten that information over atleast 1 month and a half, just an estimate
While the "Martial Arts - how to become a ninja assassin" may have useful information in it, the methodology is more that of a Western covert ops agent with some ninjitsu techniques incorporated.
Further, it concentrates on how to kill, steal, and destroy, with little or no information about controls or limits. Basically, this document takes all of the "fun" stuff about ninjitsu, adds explosives, guns, etc..., and sets the knowledge out so that anybody can learn it.
A sensei of ninjitsu, however, would be, in addition to teaching their student the "fun" stuff, be teaching morals (or at least obedience to the dojo/clan). Techniques that possess greater potential for destruction will only be taught when the sensei is confident that the student will only use them in a manner that is beneficial for the dojo/clan.
This document is the kind of thing that created a group of kids in my high school who made explosives for the fun of it. They would throw light incendiaries at passersby. They would crawl around in the sewers, vandalizing city property, damaging public waterworks. They would tap into people's phone lines and make long distance calls, leaving the phone off the hook until the phone company found the device. Meanwhile, the customer had to sort out a many-thousand dollar bill. At the height of their stupidity, all started by the fact that a kid with too much time and not enough guidance got ahold of a book very similar to this, two of them were arrested for armed robbery of a telephone repair truck, in order to get cooler toys to play with.
Sorry for the long rant, but something about this book just really rankles me. Stephen Hayes' books I can get behind. What Chapel suggested looks very good, as it touches on the spiritual aspect that this document ignores. As soon as I get an iai-to, kyu, Nintendo Wii, and a few other choice things, I'll be getting that book.
Well, one of them learned, at least. He wasn't very deep into the culture (can't think of a better word) these guys had set up. He had just been kind of hanging out with them. He was just more susceptible to peer pressure than I was, I guess.
Sorry. I probably would have found it funny if it hadn't had so much very real and very dangerous information in it.
There are too many people in the US who are stupid enough to see if cyanide is really as dangerous as people say. If they're the only ones who are hurt, who cares? If bystanders catch a lungful, however, that's a different story.
True, if you'r gonna be an idiot and do harmful things, make sure no one else gets hurt or else you are going to have to pay more (Along with the guilt of hurting an innocent person).
Like all of these kids who blow off their hands trying to make gun powder. Honestly, somethings should only be attempted in labs by people with understandings of the basic science behind it. Making explosives is not like making a cake.
