View Full Version : another "great site" and a comment.
I've been in the martial arts for over 15 years, and have had the chance to study and learn with a lot of great teachers. I'm planning to start giving demos, etc. of what myself and my training partners are now doing. Technically I can "teach" if I chose to according to certain people and credentials, but I have always been hesitant about doing so.
One, because I'm always a realist when it comes to MA .... (I'm not the best grappler, not the best striker, but definitely not the worst either.) I know I have a lot to offer, but a lot of other people do as well.
But I think the main reason is this........ :D Everyone wants to "create" a MA, or "start" some martial art organization. However the people successful at it truly are respected and have real world experience and skills. (And humbly, I think I am one of those people.)
However......... http://www.angelfire.com/ky3/hiddendragon/
Things like this make me cringe when I think of showing some of my knowledge. LOL I think the worst thing in the world is for people to see you like they would see this guy....... I don't understand how people like this can actually sleep at night. I wouldn't be able to.
Enjoy.

warning! The above site is not mine. This is a neo ninja site by a kid named Eddie Weldon.

Your site ****ing sucks
????????
This isn't MY site!!! :confused:
This site belongs to a 12 year old kid named Eddie Weldon who thinks he's a ninja. :D
The post was about how terrible some people can actually become when they get obsessed with being "known" in the martial arts.
:rolleyes: Looks like I'm going to have to make a gigantic sign that says who the site belongs to.

You know I think I've got to work on how I communicate things on this message board.
First I post a pasted excerpt from some MMA guy who got beaten up a little in a bar, and people think it's MY experience.
Then I post a link to this ridiculous ninja kid's site, and someone already thought THAT monstrosity was my own.
Not sure whether to laugh or really feel insulted. :mad:
Probably should just laugh. :D
But JEEZ, people...... :rolleyes:

Hey Ryu,
Great site,no it really sucks,I thought you did judo? ;)
His personal information is a bit freaky but those parts of site I checked were quite clear and up-to-date (very basic of course but if that´s what you´re looking for...)
Funny how he messes up mostly chinese and mostly japanese things-ninja-dragon.
The unfortunate thing is that the "basics" this guy talks about is simple things that can be found out on the net. This kid is definitely not anything "ninjutsu" and is kind of famous on e-budo for being the poster child for the neo-ninjas.

LOL... Ryu, relax the guys are just pulling your legs. :)
I hear you about the site. It's some inner-infant (what's child of a child?) that's dying to get people to give it the wanted attention. the roll and fall thing is going to get people hurt the way he described it. But then I don't think people will take that seriously. I think one thing that his "mastery" hasn't taught him is that real mastery beings at the first defeat when pain becomes a reality. One of my young students just learned it. He used to be thinking similarly to this kid - doing things his way despite numerous repeated instructions and warning. Finally last sparring session he got nailed good "doing things his way". Now his pays 120% attention watching the demo of techniques. He practially watch it like a hwak and wanted it done exactly the way it supposed to be. Martial arts are born of collective "painful" mistakes and experience not like video games. Unfortunately kids today don't understand you have only one game over in martial arts unlike video games. Video game culture... oh well.

It's a sad thing when things like that are actually taken seriously... especially when it's already hard enough to find somoene with real skills anyway!

I dont see why everybody is insulting Ryus ninja site. I thought it was pretty cool, and I learned a lot from it.
Keep up the good work!

He certainly deserves respect,I never heard of anyone else receiving the rank of hidden dragon (ninja?)

but your focus is wrong.
Ryu, you don't have to start your own style, or be th best to teach. You just have to know your subject and have a desire to help others learn it. You apparently meet those qualifications. There are, of course, a lot of other qualities that make a good instructor: communications skills, presence, judgement, even a fair ammount of ego- and the ability to keep it in check. I used to instruct several emergency services disciplines and, unchecked ego notwithstanding, I was good at it. Someone once asked me what I thought seperated an outstanding instructor from a good instructor. He was expecting something like superior knowlege, skills, or experience. But my reply was simply 'The profound desire to give your students the basic tools to be able to become better than you.' If you have that, you will find few things as rewarding to you or your students than instructing your art. Go for it.

"The arm is long . Not as long as the leg though . The arm is weaker then the leg . The arm can be used for a variety of things . It can be used to block or parry .As well as strike . In many arts they have the same method of striking . See the body is limited to certain movements . SO there are only a certain amount of ways to strike . "
does anyone else notice a certain rolls-like style here? :D

Ryu, I think you'll do fine teaching, as long as you don't teach that cr@p from your website.
BTW, I didn't know you were like 15. Chickypoos really robbing the cradle these days.
