    I quit after getting my first black belt because the school I was a part of was in the process of lowering their standards A painfully honest KC Elbows

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    rock on!

    what style of "_______" was he supposed to be anyway?

    I always like the 'internal' shots of him breaking bones and ripping hearts out and ****.

    Oh yeah, Sonny is a ninja. The man's coolness has no limits.

    Looks like his initial karate training was under Mas Oyama. Not a bad start.

    yea, Oyama would be a good start.

    but, why, oh why, did he have to sully it with neenja training???????????????????

    i think in the movies it was actually suppose to be a cross between japanese karate and chinese kung fu. if i have my chiba series right anyway.

    he is a half breed by story line. I think thats the street fighters story, havent watched any of em in a while though.

    sonny chiba is fresh.

    i would have loved to watch him fight bruce lee in real life.....i would put my dollar on chiba

    Because karate is actually Okinawan, from China, and not even Japanese. What they call 'ninjitsu' actually comes from ryus of jujitsu and taijitsu. There's only a few that are actually what most people think of as 'ninjitsu' (concealment, certain weapons and all that).

    Oh, and the Ninjitsu dark costumes are B.S. that was designed out of the Kabuki cinema. They had people who wore dark costumes to move the props around between acts, and when they started portraying 'Ninja' on the screen, they used those costumes. It's total B.S.

    ninja would wear dark clothing. sometimes red. or get thier clothing wet before a known battle if possible.

    to hide blood from any wounds they may have.

    they sometimes also carried small boxes with holes in them that housed crickets. for sneaking around outside at night.

    the sashes they would wear would often be of an extreme length near 10 feet or more, to be able to create a small hammick of sorts in trees for extended recon...or to tie yourself to a tree for dozing off.

    Supposedly they usually wore common villagers clothes to not be noticed, and when on 'missions' in the palace or whatever they would wear clothes of the enemy, once again, to blend in and not be noticed.

    But who knows. There's supposed to be a Chinese counterpart to the Japanese 'ninja', but I can't seem to find much info about it anywhere.

    The style I usually see listed is Kyokushin but you can find Goju Ryu Kata and techniques in there, which makes sense because Kyokushin draws upon Goju Ryu. If the wikipedia Sonny Chiba article is true (it says he is a first Dan in Kyokushin and a second Dan in Goju Ryu). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Chiba
