Nunjutsu acrobacy part?

Question

Someday I will study nunjutsu, I am atracted to its acrobacy and the sparring they develop.

I have never been good at any acrobacy, I know martial arts are supposed to slowly train you to do this stuff, but is the acrobatic part something a guy like me can really get to develop?,

I studied hapkido and TKD and currently enrolled in Judo, but only Hapkido had some acrobacy to it, like jumping 8 guys bending over, and I was really bad at this kind of stuff, they didn't have the spectacular moves from nunjutsu though.

I just wanna know if "monkey guys" you know natural elastic natural agile, are the only ones who can make this work, or just about anyone studying nunjutsu.

Answer 1

When I competed on the national circuit there was a guy by the name of Gary (sorry I can't recall his last name) who competed in Kung Fu that was a pretty good size person with some muscle, height, and bulk. He was nationally ranked very high in soft style forms and weapons and was very good. He could do a lot of things that most people smaller would never be able to do or master so I am sure it can be done.

I teach my students some acrobatic moves like cart wheels, dive rolls, back rolls and more difficult things for younger more athletic type students. These things make a person more physically fit but you have to build up to doing them just as gymnast's do. Certain exercises build your flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination in order to first learn and then practice such acrobatic type moves and take time. So you won't know unless you try and if you do-it is something that will take time, effort, and the proper training.

Answer 2

true ninjutsu wouldnt have too much acrobatics, porbably nothing too much more than rolls and breakfalls that is learned in aikido, judo, etc...nijutsu was about stealth and survival nothing too practical and stealthy about flip all over the place.

some more acrobatic martial arts would be capoeira and preformance wushu

Answer 3

stick with the judo
