In a thread called "Absolutely astounding ninja !!!!!!!!" someone complained that they watched a Bujinkan class which was not good in their opinion and did not teach realistically.
Several people responded that there ARE indeed good Bujinkan schools and teachers out there. I have seen this point made in several places and I agree with it myself. The trick is how to find them, especially as we agree that rank is not necessarily a good indicator.
I suggest that there is a thread in which these good instructors and their dojos be recommended. Rather than bad-mouth or shaming the bad ones, this would ignore them and focus on the good ones. Hopefully this will aid new students in finding a good teacher and will eventually reduce the number of "Absolutely astounding ninja !!!!!!!!" posts and may even improve people's perception of Taijutsu/Ninjutsu.
I'd like to see the unknown (but still excellent) teachers be identified because not everyone can train with the Peter Kings, Brin Morgans and Jack Hobans of the world.
