A indepth going over for Knight vs Samurai

16th century was towards the end so we're talking mounted and seriously armored. I'd say if the Ninja plays his game he assasinates the Knight, if he plays the Knight's game he dies.
Hey that was a very good article FOG, and so was the Rapier vs Katana article at the same link.

Thanx for posting em.

Ugh...Ninjas weren't suppose to make history. Ninjas were a highly secretive group of assassins who avoided any kind of attention.

Knights were slaughtered by the Mongolian Horsemen..... and Ninjas were not fielded at huge levels for defense... think of the Ninjas as the Special Forces of the past....

Sempar...please do not tout things that you are unfamiliar with...
Ninjitsu is not the same as jujutsu..they are different fighting forms..!!

ninpo has a few teachings from bushi, say 30% the other 70% is totally different, from hand to hand combat, methodolagy, and spiritual teachings.

They are not the same..... its like saying

Karate is the same as gung fu or Tae Kwon do is the same as muay tai or hapkido is the same as judo or Pankration is the sam as Jeet kune Do.... There not..!

and if you ever where to say to someone that studies ninjitsu/ninpo that it is jujitsu....you will end on the floor faster then you can count to 1..!!

BS!

Does Ninjitsu not teach you grappling and using your opponents momentum/weight against them? And yes they might not be teached the same, but like I said before Ninjitsu teaches different things.

Wow...how pathetic.

So sad that you can't answer a simple question like...Does Ninjitsu not teach you grappling and using your opponents momentum/weight against them similar to Jujutsu?
