It simply amazes me every time I see a website portraying Ninja as a soldier, or commando, the display of Ninja along side someone dressing up in a soldier uniform with a machine gun makes me cringe to say the very least, what are these people thinking.

One of the things I do my best to avoid is politics, especially in the Bujinkan. There can be a wide variety of things (mostly childish) that can cause rifts and breaks between students and teachers alike, this is a common occurrence in the Martial Arts and sometimes unavoidable.

  There will always be students and teachers in the Bujinkan who will stray from the path and want to do their own thing or they may have this idea in their head that they know more than they really do and want to change things according to what they think it should be.
