Ninja, Ninja, Ninja

Well we have all seen ninja depicted in media in someway. Of course since ninja are so secretive we don't really know much about them, but we do know that the idea of ninja are embraced well by the special forces units of today. But the real original ninjas may have never died out, they are just that good. Using the idea of Special ops units being like ninjas, what special forces units do you think are closest to being Ninjas.

Well my choice is a group shrouded in mystery. They are identified by a number that is unknown. They go by the nickname Duvdevan. A poinson cherry. They use disguises cross dress and are drilled in linguistics harshly. The feats they must accomplish are ridiculous. Their hand to hand combat skills are also thought of as fierce. They have made the hardest terrorist fear for their lives. Plus they infiltrated a wedding by pertending to be caterers. How great is that.

I've seen in a documentary.. in National Geographic channel.. about martial arts... they were comparing different martial art techniques to learn which is the best... I never knew Ninja is practiced as a martial arts before and they are just in movies or have "extinct" >.<

Ninja martial arts won the category of balance... man.. even Kung Fu lost to it in balance.. lol.. and you all know how good kung fu users in balancing >.<

Yeah that was pretty intense. I think the documentary you are talking about is called Fight Science. It was awesome wasn't it. You should also watch the show Ninja Warrior Challenge on G4 it is awesome. You would not believe some of the stuff these guys could do.

Jewish Ninjas....oh hell..... If only they had them during WW2. The Nazis woulda had worse of a time implementing their final solution.

I wonder who would win......Jappo-Nin or Juden-Nin?

In the end, I'd die laughing..........

I think the way ninjas are is awsome i wish i could move as stealthily as them... and has anyone noticed how naruto has depicted ninjas completly wrong i mean don't get me wrong i love the show but they just don't move like a ninja or strike like a ninja they fight as if thet're magical warriors with honour and... stuff like that

Elusive Shadows
Ultimate weapon by will.
We are the ninja.

Haiku pretty much sums it up.

Removing what fiction (especially Naruto) has implied and corrupted to the minds of people today, ninjas are basically people adept in all forms of fighting styles known in the times of the Sengoku Era, or beyond that, which they call ninjutsu (I believe). They are also capable of stealth, and have devoted a long time to master this element and gain favor of it to their side. There are some who say that the ninja has the ability to call in magic from dark (I think) powers which people nowadays considered as the jutsus.

That's pretty much I know of. Sorry if it's not much.

Yup, lots of traceurs and free runners compete on that show. They are physically and mentally fit to take on the course. I, one day want to be on that show. These guys ARE modern day ninja.

I hope you make it and give a shout out to animeonline when you do. Some celebrities have competed on that show.
