I was thinking of becoming a Ninja but I wasn't sure if they still existed.

Yes, just like God they are everywhere, and just like God they're so good in hiding that no one can ever see them! See the logic in it? Proves the existance of both ninjas as well as God! :p

umm... you have people who still try to learn the art of ninjitsu, although in terms of profession, i don't think they would exist. as far as i recall, they were paid assasins. of course we have paid assasins today but they probably don't go around jumping through trees and throwing shuriken in your face...

they continue the grandmaster tradition though. Masaaki Hatsumi is THE Grandmaster. Below is a link with his picture. Also note Stephen Hayes, an American 'Ninja.' He is the author of several Ninja books.

edit: btw, i remember some years ago they would have American Ninja training camps. you could probably check that out if you were really interested.

here is a link for Steven haayes. apparently you can get instruction in ohio.

Of course they do. I saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

Finally someone who isn't talking out his ass!

Hatsumi is the 34th linear grandmaster of the Togakure-ryu, and heads the Bujinkan Dojo, the only authentic source of ninpo in the world. Stephen Hayes was technically the first American 'ninja,' but has since parted with the Bujinkan to become another self-promoting, business-oriented Western master with his To Shin Do school. Steve has written many books, and that's part of what bothers me: he's really, really vain. Jack Hoban and Bud Malstrom are better examples of American shidoshi, Bud in particular throws great seminars.

I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.



And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bwahahahaha! *Wipes tears* Bwahahahahahahaha!

Okay I'm set, I'm becoming a Ninja. I'll specialize in the long-range combat, using bows and ninja stars to defeat enemies. In short-range combat, I'll dual wield short swords.

ChocobaR, will that be WITH or WITHOUT the elf ears? You can be an elf eared fightin' Ninja.
