if you plan on being a samurai/ninja in the 21st century sure lol. ninjutsu isn't a fighting style, its a type of technique used for espionage, which is basically like spying/being stealthy.
I do ninjutsu. They didn't stop teaching it when guns came out. They made gun techniques.
It's completely opposite of MMA. In fact, there is no sparring at all.

Hatsumi Masaaki is the head of one of the maybe two organizations in the whole world that teach ninjutsu still.

um it kinda is like MMA for punching you do boxing drills,but its more like teaching you stuff how to pretty much destroy someone in a fight in the streets.At that dojo they also did weapon deffence like how to carp someone up who has a knife it was pretty funny
usually ninjutsu, wing chun, krav maga, etc... are all against the rules(in sports fighthing like MMA).
They are meant to teach the kill and how to survive at all costs... just as Cye said.

In my experience none of the punches have been similar to boxing, which I've also done before.

might have just been the dojo i did it at cause they did MMA and tai kick boxing there aswell.just to make sure this was ninjutsu that i was doing you do a warm up which involves the splits and trying to get more flexible right?
A lot of martial arts have warmups that include splitting and stretching to get more flexible.
I'm a black belt in taekwondo and I've done judo for about a year to half a year? Though i do get some tips frmo other places to incorporate into my style. I've recently seen wing chun in action and i really like it, i want to try it once i'm out of highschool.
I've also had one seminar/class thing with Master Toddy (he trained like, 40 muay thai champions) and one seminar/class thing with benny the jet they were awesome.

I have done taekwondo in the past but stopped as I found it pretty pretty cramped with all the rules and did not like all the easy stuff we had to learn. I'm relatively interested in ninjutsu and jeet kune do. Unfortunately, there are hardly any schools of martial art in Singapore.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is coming to my high school next year, and I will be taking that
(along with my Tung Su Doe, basic boxing, and Wing Chun)

I recently saw some wing chun, and it greatly suprised me. It's a great martial art.
In a few weeks I'm starting either Black Taekwondo, or Shotokan Karate. I've heard from many that TKD is a horrible martial art, but I refuse to believe that, hearing it's like Karate but different patterns.
P.S look at my profile picture. OUS!

Tae Kwon Do is actually a really good art... but only if taught correctly. If you go to an americanized studio that gives you a belt every month regardless of how much effort you put in, you aren't going to learn much, but if you actually go to a good traditional studio, you will be much better off...
I agree. I myself do taekwondo, and I hold my own. The reason for weakness in taekwondo is the competition style taught, and the lack of diversity when training. When we train, we mostly train against kickers, who are basically the opposite of most fighters, so we get flustered during in fighting. You have to keep in mind that many kicks we learn aren't practical for actual fighting purposes, power is needed for the kicks effect to happen (i.e, spamming turning kicks is pretty useless if they're weak, and in most cases people would jsut push through in any case) and to try and keep yourself rounded.
I have found that out luckily through sparring with friends from other martial arts, not the hard way. Most taekwondo people neglect their arms, which is a very fatal mistake. But yes, when studied properly it's a very strong asset to your arsenal. Though I'm the first to admit learning solely taekwondo is not the best idea to become a well rounded fighter, we suck with grappling. xD

Yup, practicing many arts is definitely the key.
I learn most of my kicks and leg techniques from Tung Su Doe, I learn powerful defense, quick and simple attacks and intense focus from Wing Chun, strong punches from boxing type training, and ground fighting from grappling and jiu jitsu.
Honestly though, Wing Chun, when used properly is pretty well rounded in itself, but I'm glad I know other styles.

Schools like that are what you call "Mcdojos".
hah, like mine. Though we used to be very competition based 10 years ago... How things have changed.
In a couple of weeks ill be doing class, on ninjustu

Where do you guys practice ninjutsu? Chances are it isn't authentic. There are only like three organizations that teach it, and even within those three organizations it's difficult to find. Try finding a Bujinkan dojo. It's probably the only way you'll find real ninjutsu.
In a few months I'll be joining an MMA class for a more rounded training and doing a course in jiu jitsu with a view on picking it up. Hopefully it goes well, because atm I have to say my strength is in my kicks, while everything else pales in comparison.
Not exactly good when I go out in jeans, hah. Well not just that but I want to be more rounded as there are many situations that simply cut off effective kicks.
