I'd like to request more sexy ninjettes please!

[GeneChing]

We wanted to give you all a chance to gather your Halloween photos and submit them.

Here's the full-page spread for last year's winner that appeared on the final page of our March April 2010 issue (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56284).

Presenting Ninjenna!
http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/images/ezine/2009_NinjaStar.jpg

[GeneChing]

Design Sifu beat me to the punch.

Oh well. Can't get too much of Ninjenna. ;)

[Lucas]

so here is my question: we must prominently display tiger claw gear in the photo. what would be good enough? like a headband with a tigerclaw logo on it could work? i dont have a martial arts shop to have a bunch of gear displayed behind me, so im going to have to order something that can work, the only gear i have that has tigerclaw logo on it are some weapon cases for chinese weapons. i go for authenticity in look when i do ninja photo shoots, so if this is the case i might have to be killing someone using tigerclaw cloth weapon cases. :(

or can i insert a tigerclaw logo onto my photo?

[GeneChing]

...but you'll get extra points from the judging committee if you do, seeing as the committee is comprised of Tiger Claw (http://www.tigerclaw.com/home.php). You just need to be in Tiger Claw gear. Any Tiger Claw gear. You'll lose points if you're in gear from another company.

[Lucas]

okay. sounds good.

[GeneChing]

Meanwhile, I've put ninja back into my web newsfeed and am posting the stories of interest on our Ninjas! thread. (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1043178#post1043178) I love ninja news.

[Lucas]

I suppose I'll just ninja around all day for halloween seeing as how its a sunday. maybe ill get some cool ninja tourist pictures from random japanese tourists. thats always fun. we'll see if i end up in jail.

[GeneChing]

...you'll make the ninja news.

If you make the ninja news, you'll get posted on the Ninjas! (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1043178#post1043178) thread.

If your ninja news gets posted on the Ninjas thread and you're wearing Tiger Claw (http://www.tigerclaw.com/home.php) gear in your mugshot, you'll get disqualified.

I'm just sayin.... ;)

[Lucas]

dag nabbit. you gotta make it hard on an ninja dont ya :(

i assume they'll make me take the mask of for the mugshot so i should be safe.

we have this cool magazine here in portland called BUSTED. it just prints pictures of recent mug shots from recent arrests. its freaking hillarious, especially when you see people you know in it.

[I Hate Ashida Kim]

For October 2010, KungFuMagazine.com is once again holding an online photo contest. Submit a photo of yourself and/or your hapless friends as Ninjas (http://www.martialartsmart.com/ninja-styles.html)

I am confused by what you mean by "as ninjas."

I am always a ninja. So you just want a picture of me doing whatever?

[Lucas]

Don't post a picture of yourself doing mundane daily activities like I'm going to, or I'll poison your cheerios.

[GeneChing]

Please note the following stipulation in NinjaStar's official rules (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=921), I.H.A.K. :
ANY PHOTO DEEMED OF A PRURIENT OR PORNOGRAPHIC NATURE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

Also note that "All entries must PROMINENTLY DISPLAY TIGER CLAW GEAR in their photo."

Buying produce is allowable, but I think you just let the cat...or the cabbage...out of the bag there, Lucas.

Good luck everyone. We eagerly await your photo entries. :D

[I Hate Ashida Kim]

Please note the following stipulation in NinjaStar's official rules (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=921), I.H.A.K. :
ANY PHOTO DEEMED OF A PRURIENT OR PORNOGRAPHIC NATURE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

Also note that "All entries must PROMINENTLY DISPLAY TIGER CLAW GEAR in their photo."

But the honorable great grandmaster invincible ninja sensei Ashida Kim says that even a naked make can practice ninjitsu alone in a dark room.

And then you have to say no pornographic photos. Way to ruin my plans!!

(To be honest I had to look up "prurient" on dictionary.com... :o haha)


Wait.

Assuming I am wearing TIGER CLAW GEAR in my picture, can I also wear a deer pelvis on my head like Ashida Kim does? (pic for reference: http://www.dojopress.com/pics/cvr-invisiblefist.gif )

That is REAL ULTIMATE POWER if I've ever seen it.

That brings me to my next question: Will TIGER CLAW be producing martial arts deer pelvises anytime soon?

[GeneChing]

Unfortunately Tiger Claw will not be producing ninja deer pelvises at this time. That being said, you may use a ninja deer pelvis from another company but NinjaStar reserves the right to digitally blur the logos of any ninja deer pelvis manufacturers.

While I'm on the subject, check out our new thread on Supah Ninjas. (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1043721) Ninjas. They're popping up everywhere this Halloween.

[Lucas]

Oh one more question....can we only submit one image?

[GeneChing]

You can send as many images as you want.

You can see last year's albums on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/kungfumagazine/photos/albums/album/1305452) or facebook (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=147799&id=135964689362) best. They are spread out across last year's thread (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55370), so you can see the progression of last year's contest, but it's not quite as easy to view the entire gallery.

[Lucas]

Get your arc ready, prepare the red sea, because the flood is imminent.

[GeneChing]

And good luck to you.

We just got the trophy sword set in today. It was delivered by ninjas, who vanished in a flash with a smoke bomb. The ninjas say the custom plaque is being designed now and as soon as that is attached to the trophy stand, we'll have a pic for you all here.

[Lucas]

OH SWEET

i was slightly jealous and mad at myself for not participating last year, i had so much going on. but i loved that sword prize when i saw it.

quick question. the tabi boots you sell at martialartsmart, are they pretty durable? how many peoples faces would you say i could cave in from kicks before i bust a stitch, break a seal, etc.?

[GeneChing]

I've never actually tried to kick someone with tabi (http://www.martialartsmart.com/16-08.html). Let me get back to you about that.

http://www.tigerclaw.com/images/P/16-08.png

[I Hate Ashida Kim]

Unfortunately Tiger Claw will not be producing ninja deer pelvises at this time. .

This is a bigger disappointment than when I learned that Ninja Santa Claus wasn't real and that he didn't appear under the tree in a flash from a smoke bomb to deliver presents and then disappear up the chimney under the shroud of another smoke bomb and get back into his sleigh which was guided by 9 astral spies.

:(:(:(

[GeneChing]

If it's any consolation, Ninja Santa exists on the web. Amazing what you can find on the web, isn't it.

That being said, I don't think it's an authentic ninja deer pelvis if it's purchased off the web. Traditional ninjas have a code to uphold, you know.

Meanwhile, the ninja tip of today is this: Check out Die Antwoord (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58359).

[GeneChing]

We never did a Ninja Issue for Kung Fu Tai Chi for obvious reasons. But TC Media did a Ninja cover for the now defunct general martial arts publication, World of Martial Arts. This back issue is part of the prize package (http://www.martialartsmart.com/wm-802.html).

There's an untapped market there, Gene.

Photoshop is fair game, ManilaCrane.

Unfortunately, it's a DQ because Tiger Claw doesn't carry a white ninja mask anymore. White ninjas are so 80s. (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1044475&postcount=20)

[I Hate Ashida Kim]

I missed the obvious explanation.

Here's the Weekly Specials for Tiger Claw (http://www.tigerclaw.com/onsale.php?display=products) this week:

Ninja Black Wooden Sword (http://www.tigerclaw.com/ninja-black-wooden-sword-martial-arts-pr-6215.html)

Ninja Hi-Top Tabi (http://www.tigerclaw.com/ninja-hi-top-tabi-martial-arts-pr-6193.html)

I caught some documentary on Japanese construction worker fashion the other day. Apparently Japanese construction workers, especially the people that work on hi-rise scaffolding, still use tabi-style shoes. They showed some industrial tabi that had steel toes and belt straps.

[@PLUGO]

If only she (http://www.break.com/index/hot-chick-is-a-pole-dancing-ninja)was using a TIGERCLAW sword!

[Oso]

ok...just checked, pretty much all my tops of either persuasion are TC...do we need to take pictures of labels to prove such?

so, top, pants and tabi's will all be TC. my headpiece is custom though, not commercially produced.

[Xiao3 Meng4]

How to make a Ninja Headpiece using just a T-shirt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pobuw7Wk2k&feature=related

I don't mind if she wins. :D

[GeneChing]

You get extra points if you can show the label, but that's pretty hard actually. Remember:

The TOP 5 NINJA STARS will be selected by a special Ninja Council comprised of a panel of KungFuMagazine.com and Tiger Claw experts.

Technically, you could wrap your head in a 'got qi?' t-shirt (http://www.martialartsmart.com/95-036chn.html)and do that ninja mask like the gal in Xiao3 Meng4's post above. Of course, you'd have to show the label there to make that work, otherwise it'll read like a plain black T. Note that there were some DQs last year (and our first entry above is a DQ) because it's not TC gear.

If you feel that it's not clear, you can just state what part of your costume is TC gear in your email when you submit your entry to NinjaStar@KungFuMagazine.com.

[David Jamieson]

experts? at what? lol

I can judge who's hot in a pair of tabi and who's not. Can I panel it?
I'll bring my own couch! :p

[GeneChing]

Duh. I'm one of those experts. You'll all get to judge the top finalists, just like last year.

As for your couch, organize your own contest. This one is strictly for my ninjas.

hopefully you dont have to get any crusted blood out of that. 12 year old blood stains can SUCK!

It's the 15th and so far all I've seen is DQ'ed picture of a woman and bunch of other women in Hajib's.

I need my sexy ninjette pictures. If I don't receive them, I will have to release the Iron Crotch Ninja and that won't be pretty. If you think this is a threat, you are absolutely correct.

[GeneChing]

Anyone can post that they are an Iron Crotch Ninja, but will that work in the cage?

[Oso]

btw, the size 12 Tabis (http://www.martialartsmart.com/16-08.html) fit my 11.5W foot pretty well. I'd say they are a pretty true 12.

however, i either need to do some iron foot conditioning or get me some ninja tabi socks...the seams are a bit rough.

i don't see any on the website???? no socks, Gene?

[GeneChing]

We did just add monk socks (http://www.martialartsmart.com/45-001s.html), but that won't help you a bit, will it? You'll have to invest in some toe socks. Here - I found them cheap at Kohl's (http://www.kohls.com/upgrade/webstore/product_page.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=8455248926861 83&mr:trackingCode=CC899FF7-23BC-DF11-92F8-0019B9C04BE4&mr:referralID=NA&prtID=pfx&src=k232270&cm_mmc=Performics-_-Affiliate-_-Google%20Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Primary) for ya.

On another note, we've just added separate ninja masks (http://www.martialartsmart.com/16-02.html) too. Only $7.99 and just in time for Halloween. ;)

[Oso]

lol at the toe socks...thanks, but i found some, just wanted to make sure they were unavailable through you guys.

is that ninja mask a 50/50 poly blend? can't do that...has to be 100% cotton or a 'tech' fabric.

[GeneChing]

If that doesn't work for you, you can always do the t-shirt trick from post 39 (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1047537&postcount=39). Extra points if you can do that and get your got qi? logo (http://www.martialartsmart.com/95-036w.html) to show.

[David Jamieson]

Can Dr.McNinja fix that man's testicles?

Can he do it without being seen or heard?

because that would be impressive!

[Lucas]

make your own socks!!! its really easy, takes a needle and thread and a few minutes.

[GeneChing]

its really easy, takes a needle and thread and a few minutes.

so wait, all your saying i need to do to win is turn into some hot chick....now where did i put that axe.....

oh ya and is that you getting elbowed in taht other pic? I see that long hippie hair....hippie

ok, okay i kid i kid. for serious though I have a question;

So if I just wear a Ninja suit purchased from martialartsmart.com that is sufficient for display of product materials?

[GeneChing]

NinjaStar (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=922) is a campaign to sell ninja suits for Halloween. So yes, Lucas. Buy a ninja suit. (http://www.martialartsmart.com/halloween-ninja-assassin.html) Take a photo.

And skip the sex change. We like you just the way you are.

[Lucas]

okay cool, mine is on order. im going to put those foot and hand spikes to some good use too.....but thats a different matter.

Now im off to the costume store to buy some makeup and liquid latex to complete my deadly ensemble....of course it all rests on me finding someone to follow me around for a day capturing a ninja in his natural habitat.

[GeneChing]

Enter KungFuMagazine.com's NinjaStar 2010 (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=922) BEFORE HALLOWEEN and you'll qualify to win this Shock Doctor Hoodie.

As for the rest of you meat puppets, support this forum!
Buy something!

p.s I buy the mag and have gotten some coolio items from martial arts mart over the years.

[GeneChing]

Not to worry. We'll rally and have it back up again tomorrow.

The hoodie is real nice. If it were my size, it wouldn't even be going out as a prize. Get your entries in early and often!

[Lucas]

My photos will probably be taken on Halloween, as its the one day of the year im not required to walk in the shadows and slay all who witness my doings.

sooo....ya

[GeneChing]

That way you'll qualify for the hoodie contest. You can submit your other stuff after Halloween, but for the hoodie, you have to get it in before. You can enter multiple times, so don't feel inhibited.

[Oso]

real ninjas only enter contests once.

[GeneChing]

Let's try that again.

Here's a message from last year's winner: NinjaStar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B6IJv1vMgk)

lets see if it can stay up till i can get home and watch it. you know, unless those rival ninjas own your link again.

Here's the trophy sword set. Can you take it from Ninjenna? Can you dethrone her?

side note: i found a photographer, and shes HOT. so win or lose i win. what do i have to pay her? aww i have to take her out....darn.

:D :cool:

[GeneChing]

A hottie photographer? Sounds like you've got this whole NINJASTAR contest (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=922) dialed. Just don't mess with my nachos. You might get an elbow to the head for that.

[Lucas]

well, my good Sir...you know we cant all be fancy and beat up the Nacho King (that is the title I now bestow upon you, dont worry I have authority to do that) in our online ninja debute...but hey we can try.

ill let you in on a bit of my ninpo, im going for 2 types, one is a bit more horror based on the time of year, and the other will be classic ninja, based on the other 364 days I work as a ninja.

and ya, i got lucky to find a photographer that is not only hot, but demands that i take her to dinner first :rolleyes:

whats a ninja to do, oh what ever is a ninja to do...

I ordered the Tiger Claw ninja uniform on sunday, hopefully I get it tomorrow so I can start this weekend....did not show today. :(

[GeneChing]

We look forward to your submissions.

The cut-off for the additional Shock Doctor Hoody contest is midnight (PST) on Halloween.

[Lucas]

Ninja gear showed up today. :D

I'll try and get some random ninja shots the next day or so for the ninja push...if i can find someone to hold a camera for me...the hardest part about being a ninja is not having any friends. :rolleyes:

anyhow, for anyone reading. top quality ninja uniform. the extra hand and foot spikes are TOTALLY worth it. very functional. no joke.

Even if you arent dressing up as a ninja for halloween, and you arent a ninja in real life for your job, you owe it to yourself to own one of these ninja uniforms (and assorted accessories, get the hand claws at the very least) because you never know when you just might need it!!!!

seriously, stop being lame and buy a friggin ninja uniform already.

p.s. she almost has you disarmed fool!!!!! use the hidden knife!!!

[GeneChing]

May the best ninja win.

lol sweeeeet :D

[Oso]

just sent a pic in...it's an automatic DQ as it's a cell phone pic...but, that's fine...and, i'm like in the basement of a friends house in front of the washer/dryer :D

i dressed for two different parties and no one had a real camera at any of them.

not sure i'm gonna put it all on again to pose but there is still 9 days.

[Oso]

lol sweeeeet :D

dude, is that you? not bad at all...for a vain ninja ;) :D

[Lucas]

lol ya thats me. im the mostest vainest ninja eva! i want to see your pic.

i really wanted to get some good scenery shots, but....we never made it out of my apartment for the pictures, thats my livingroom wall haha

[Lucas]

not sure i'm gonna put it all on again to pose but there is still 9 days.

i feel ya, i wanted to get some shots rock climbing and scaling some building or something. and i wanted the zombie shot in the graveyard....:o

[Oso]

Yea, I've got a maple tree in the yard that'd be good.

I'm still waiting for a couple people to send me the pics that were taken in the black light room...have no idea how they turned out...and, i think i probably had a beer in my hand so not sure that's 'legal' but I'll post em when i get them anyways.

if Gene doesn't post the one i sent them, i'll post it. it's not bad, just not really dramatic

[GeneChing]

I post all the entries, even the DQs, as long as they aren't pornographic. I need to download them off the ninjastar account first, then upload them to our MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/kungfumagazine/photos/albums/album/1633631) & facebook (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=290977&id=135964689362), then I'll post them here. Give me a few hours because I have some stuff I need to get off my desk first, but I'll have the latest entries up here by the afternoon. Thanks for playing!

[Lucas]

Here are a few I messed with just in infranview. could only really mess with the colors...but i created a shadow....i mean i do ninja magic...just for fun.

Hey Oso, what kind of gloves are those, they look sweet.

well, the gloves are just some black Mountain Hardware liners...you might be asking about the 'vambraces' which are separate from the gloves and are just Tiger Claw black ankle supports turned inside out.


Gene, you gotta stop with the Jenna pics...i'm starting to get a crush on her :D
