Ninja in the News
The Bujinkan has been popular with the media these days.
Recently CBS news visited the Hombu for an interview with Soke and to film the training.
The best part was that I got to toss Lucy Craft onto the mat!

About
My name is Doug Wilson, originally from the US (CA). I have been studying martial arts for almost 30 years, 20+ of those years in the Bujinkan. I have spent 14 of those years in Japan training at the Hombu Dojo. I act as a main interpreter for the Hombu Dojo and have co-translated the above books by Hatsumi Soke, released by Kodansha International. I feel that the time is right to provide my acquired information to the Bujinkan public about training in Japan. I guess I can say from my unique position and close proximity to Soke, I can provide a perspective that most can not. Here, I will post what I have recently learned, translated, experienced, and interpreted as well as been told to say. Some may find the content to be too direct or controversial. It is not meant to be, it is the truth provided in a “zero” way to those people who are interested in hearing it. It is not a place designed to draw fire from those who live online, expending energy arguing about things that mean nothing. I am a student of Hatsumi Soke and this is MY perspective. I hope to provide an insight to the dedicated practitioners of Hatsumi Soke’s Budo and the Bujinkan.

Cool!
I was unable to follow the above link. (it kept taking me to a blank video screen.)
Should others find they are having the same problem you can go to the main page: http://www.cbsnews.com And in the search form search “CBS news” using the term “ninja” and “The Art Of The Ninja Soldier” should be the top most return (as of 7.14.2008).
Best Regards
Anthony
