R.I.P. The true arts of Ninjitsu...

Post by cresent34 »

Didn't think there were any real ninjas still around, much less becoming an endangered species:

You cannot mention anything about Ninja without bringing up Godfrey Ho, search for him on youtube and youll find tons of vids on his hilariously bad epics.

I already knew years ago that real ninja were still around, but yeah, very much rare.

....wasn't aware of this myself.

they fucking list tmnt and not naruto? lols. though tmnt, in its latest rendition, seems more along the lines of them actually being teenage mutant Ninja turtles. they use more stealthy techniques over straight up kills, they are jsut extra repared for a fight as well. pretty much combining ninjutsu with martial arts i guess.

Naruto was never THAT big over here. TMNT was massive when it first came out as it was shown on a standard channel before Sky and digital came along.

I'd say Dragonball Z is more popular and known over here still.
