We have created 2 sub forums to this area.
Traditional and Modern.
Traditional is a forum for the X-Kans, Modern for everyone else.
This forum will remain as a "Ninjutsu General" where all can discuss and cross-compare.
The sub forums are restricted to the discussion of those areas specifically.
Discussion within the "Traditional" must be of a verifiable basis and at this time is restricted to the only known verified lineage.
Modern is for the discussion of the modern adaptions, spinoffs, or creations.
It is hoped that by separating things in this manner, some of the issues we have seen recently will disappear.
Now, some questions will arise:
Stephen Hayes. If discussing Quest/Toshindo goto "Modern". If discussing his relationship with Dr. Hatsumi, the Bujinkan, or the traditional teachings, goto "Traditional". "General" is also ok.
Ashida Kim - "Modern" or "General".
Frank Dux - "Modern" or "General".
Saito - "General".
Rick Tew - "Modern" or "General".
Hatsumi Lineages - "Traditional"
"Koga Ryu Nijutsu" - "General" (The last person to be recognized as part of the Koga Ryu lineage in Japan was Seiko Fujita. His knowledge of "ninjutsu" died with him - he left no successor.)
I realize this will not satisfy everyone. I apologize. However, the bickering, etc. which has resulted in several locked threads has given us 2 options. Split or shut down. I prefer not to shut down if at all possible.
If there are any questions, please ask them here.
We will slowly be moving some of the threads here into the new sub-forums to help 'stock' them.
Thank you.
