Dear All,
I am a resident of India and am wondering how many authentic teachers of Ninjutsu do we really have in our country. :confused:
(Well, I know a couple of for sure.)
I did a search on this site and found that members like KENDOINDIA never returned to the thread when they were asked to prove their credentials.
I have another example of similar kind on some other site :
http://www.kendo-world.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7859
I really would request Dr. Siddiq to prove his legitimacy here. (Since I know him through emails and do not want to see him picturized like this!!)
I have found some more people claiming to be teaching Ninjutsu (Of course First Time) in India :
1. http://www.indianninja.com
2. http://cyrusninja.qps.in
Does anyone know these people?
Well, recently I searched google and found a bujinkan dojo in Bangalore, India.
http://bujinkan.in And remember someone on e-budo has referred for Nikolaj (Instructor - Bujinkan India) for learning Bujinkan ninjutsu in India.
I understand that since ninjutsu is about stealth and sneak; many prefer to remain un-noticed. But to promote this art in India, we really need legitimate teachers and not self proclaimed goofs.
BTW, I know this person from Mumbai who claims to be a ninjutsu teacher. His name is Master M. J. Pillai. He claims to be world famous for his martial arts skills (Mostly kung-fu, chinese boxing, ninjutsu) and achievements. He is the founder of Meditative Martial Arts (Recently I found another name of martial art "created" by him KEIMOUDO. I have searched the whole web but did not find any references about him/his arts.
This is not an attempt to personally criticize anyone. Just trying to find authentic information from the Learned People on this site.
With the help of internet and computers, the whole world of information is open to anyone and everyone. I myself spend most of time searching information on martial arts history, practitioners around the world, dojos, etc.
Before anyone ask for my personal experience on this art :
My personal experience on ninjutsu and other martial arts is under Avinash Sensei (Mr. Avinash Subramanyam). I was learning under him for around a year and a half before I moved to another city. And as far as I know, he trained in Bujinkan Ishizuka Dojo - Canada.
Expecting lot and lots of comments on this post.
