Hi there,
The first part of the problem with this is that it often tends to miss out on a key thing for the Instructor...namely Rent. If the Instructor is operating as I do, teaching out of...
Hi Randall,
I'm sorry to hear that you've tested positive...but people either cancelling or pulling out their kids from such a class is a common experience and one that you will continue to...
Hi Eric,
Not a problem, you raise a good question. In the Bujinkan, Hatsumi Sensei pretty much leaves it up to the instructors in regards of each schools curriculums. But there are several...
Red Samurai,
Hi there! Ok let's take a look at some of your responses:

If you are dedicated you will travel yes. I agree. I traveled states for my current teacher. You cant say im...
Red Samurai,
Hi there! Ok, can you learn something from books...yes, you can. Are there things that you need an instructor for...yes!
You need to understand one of the reason why...
Red Samurai,
Hi there, but no...we're not talking lovely technicalities...usually when I give a comparisson to today's special forces...people see that the extra amount of leeway that they...
Red Samurai,
Hi there, your analogy is way off base. In how easily you try to equate anyone as being a Ninja or Assassin. For example, anyone who joins the Marines or Army learns basic...
Hi there,
You've got a bit of chaos going there, and there's pro and con to it. On one hand you've got a freedome of coming in and just going over whatever lights your bulb that day. If...
Hi Giuseppe Storto,
Hatsumi Sensei stated along time ago at one of the Tai Kai's that I attended that we wear Black not because it's hard to see at night, in truth, if you wear black and go...
Hi Chris,
I know you directed this at Dale, but perhaps this'll tide you over till he's got a chance to respond.
One of the main problems that Officer's run into when utilizing the...
Hi Glenn,
I think it's great that you're seeking out studies in the Bujinkan, but as Dale indicated, John is not the ideal instructor for your studies.
For example, he likes to let...
Hi Ryan,
It's been a long time since I've viewed the Kajutsu Video, while I enjoyed it, it's not one of my favorites that Dick has made...however I did like it like. In the video he shows...
Hi Ryan,
I have several of his videos, they are a blast. In terms of cost, Dick's tapes are very affordable in comparisson to others and the details provided are excellent. During the Year...
Hi Ryan,
I think you'll like the Shoge tape quite a bit. While it doesn't show katas, it showcases numerous ideas and strategies for utilizing everything from the ring to the blade and...
Hi Ryan,
A long time ago, I purchased several of Dick's videos & I enjoyed them thoroughly. Dick presents some great concepts & I got toether with my training partners and we had a great...
Hi John,
Pepper Spray is better than Mace. If you've served in the Military, then you've been exposed to tear gas...and while irritating it will not stop an attacker. They're still able to...
Hi there,
While I would agree that Tear Gas is worthless, as it can be powered through...the Pepper Spray is good.
Unlike Tear Gas, the Pepper Spray will force their eyes shut...so...
Hi Mark,
Actually you can do the self-defense...just focus more with them on what they can do when someone makes contact. For example someone grabbing them while they are walking, standing,...
Hi Mark,
In addition to what you pointed out, that of having them place their hands on your leg, arm etc to feel your movement.
Try closing your own eyes and experiencing the...
Hi there,
After defeating Japan in WW II, the US had intended to completely reduce Japan to the status of a 3rd world country so as to ensure that like Germany after WW I, that the Japanese...
Hi there,
The key to the whole thing is having talked about it previously.
I remember teaching a seminar in which a mother stated that she was studying so that she could protect...
Hi there,
As to whether having a total hip replacement will stop you from working out...don't worry. You can still toss your friends and be tossed around.
If you're a wrestling fan,...
Hi Harvey,
I agree with you completely. Sticks won't make you an expert with blade just by transference...but they can be utilized to develop familiarity and a better understanding before...
Hi there,
I think that training with sticks is great for simulating the blade & I utilize both in my training.
For critics who state that you have to use a blade for blade training I...
