When I was young, I saw the movie "Warriors" and wanted to join a gang. This was an unhealthy mythos I picked up from cinema. Luckily, I grew out of it.
During the 50's and 60s (especially in the 70s) a bunch a martial artists saw the Ninja mythos as economically feasible. In other words, they took martial concepts from Karate, Korean Styles, and Japanese Jujitsu, combined them with military combat tactics, and made up a style...
I do not doubt that those who train in Ninjitsu can fight, but is it a mentally healthy mythos to live in? Is being a "criminal," a "theif" or an "assassin" a admirable goal? I personally don't think so.
If you disagree with my assessment, please enlighten me on why Ninjas are good.
