shaheediyan Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Depends what you want to gain from it. My advice would be to take up something that offers a complete system i.e. all types of weapons and open hand which uses the same principles as the weapons element. I would recommend Shastar Vidya or old school forms of Silat or Kali. Ultimately, its about finding a good teacher, rather than a particular art form per se. If you are serious about learning, PM me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maha Singh Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) If you can find a proper Bujinkan (Ninjitsu) school which is run by students of Dr Hatsumi that would be a good place to start. Proper Combat Tai Chi is hard to find but that is also good if you can find the right teacher.

SURYADEV Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I second Maha SIngh on Ninjutsu. BUT make sure its by one of Gurdev Hatsumi's students! They usually use the names Bujinkan or Togakure Ryu or Tai-Jutsu in their titles. Ninja Charlatons abound aplenty! Try Stephen Hayes of the US (a former student of Hatsumi), he should have quite a few schools in Canada 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaheediyan Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Looks like you have found the best option. I would go with the above excellent advice, especially as you have a Bujinkan dojo on you doorstep! if you decide to take it up, hopefully you will be passionate enough to go and train with 'Maha-Gurus' abroad, whilst they are still around! Good luck and let us know how you get on. Master Hatsumi and his art is the bees knees! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
