Steve Hayes actually kept me from looking at the Bujinkan for the past 20 years. The titles of his books and his pictures actually turned me off Ninjutsu. I thought he was a sensationalist joke. Heck, 'till I came on here, I still thought that way about it all. I didn't realize there was serious stuff going on in Ninjutsu.

Next thing you know there will be a school on drunken pirate fighting.

Who here remembers "Ninja" magazine? Man, those were the days. I wanted that utility belt in the back ads of the magazine so bad.

I believe there was a cruise ship that pirates tried to take off the cost of Somalia. I believe all shipping traffic that is traversing the area is supposed to be 200 (or was it 20?) miles out from the coast of Somolia to minimize the risk of pirates. There was a cruise ship that came within the sight of shore and was attacked by pirates weilding none other than ninja swords! HAHAHA, no they were weilding AKs and shoulder fired rockets.

Depends man, depends.
Perhaps some of the smaller, less famous pirates... but how do you become famous doing that? In short... you dont. Some pirate captains had whole fleets of ships at their disposal... Like Henry Morgan, and decimated spanish trading ports... Edward Teach took on several larger ships, and blockaded whole harbors. "Black Bart" Roberts took on a fleet of 20 merchant ships with only 60 men, and a 20 gun sloop off the coast of newfoundland...
