have you even studied martial arts. the religion behind martial arts is primarily Buddhism, then Taoism. True ninja's who are from either the
Koga or Iga region of Japan believed in Buddhism. Watch Ninja Scroll. The Kuji-in practice the ninja and samurai mudras that was taken from the
vajra mudra practices.

have you? buddism and taoism and shintoism all blend together in japan.
besides what does your argument about a modern incarnation of tv ninja have to do with this thread about a japanese secret society?
i fail to see your point. we arent discussing religion!
if you cant contribute with valid and coherant points, then dont
ninja scroll is hardly a historical document. i have had many many years exposure to both modern ninjutsu, bujinkan and togakure before it became
bujinkan and am actually in japan, studying martial arts now.
we are discussing people ONCE known as yamabushi, who founded all ninja clans, including but not limitd to iga and koga ryuha.
a group who have been around since before the birth of japan. shaping its course. perhaps they are buddhist, or shinto OR daoist. or presbyterian
pentacostals. who knows.
the only valid point you make is yes... the kuji kiri is 9 mudra from buddhism, 9 of over 2000 mudra.
well. i thank you for your input but please read the entire trhead before posting. you really didnt understand what anyone was saying here.

How high can you jump from a standings point....How high is your vertical jump?
Please indulge me... I am just a layman ... who collects knowledge...and I am curious.

The mudra are the best 9 for hitting accupressure points, witch would be from pre historic china. I belive Huang-Di the yellow emperor got credit for
the accupuncture system (he was half dragon by the way). Also didnt the Japan ninja learn from half man half crow aliens the crashed in japan?

the creatures you refer to are called tengu. in chinese tiengou or heaven dogs.
they are depicted in early literature as half man half crow and can be quite the tricksters. they also taught every japanese warrior ninja, or
otherwise, strategy and warfare.
in later times they are depicted more human like, as a mountain ascetic called a yamabushi.
the two distnctions are yamabushi tengu and karasu (crow) tengu. while teh origins of tengu are unclear they are certainly still seen in japanese
artwork, temples and plays.
the yamabushi tengu is now the most common.
i have no idea about the foundation of accupuncture but skyfloating wrote a wonderful piece this week in three parts about chinese mythos and ancient
astronaughts. including the yellow emporer.

Delicate topic here, folks. Google Black Dragon Society and Green Dragon Society. These leads may be of some interest. Op, if youd like you may u2u
me, and we may exchange further information. First id like a sample of just how far you have dug into the matter. If you can provide me with an
obscure reference to the subject not found on the internet, i will expound upon it as a reply. That way, things may be verified and we can both be
sure of not wasting each others time.
