Choson Ninja !!!??? could it be Sul Sa do ?? In the their website
www.sul-sa-do.com, thye claimed how Sul Sa Do influenced the development of Ninjutsu in Japan???
As far as I know , Ninja techniques are nothing new, though Japanese ninja are the most or best covered due to movies. I am sure Korea has their own groups of Assassins, but whatever their names will be.
I am not against any people who has the freedom to claim this and that, but sometime certain martial arts being labelled quickly as " real korean arts" , may not bring good effect on the development of the arts itself. Will it cause a generalization by outsiders who will thinks anything "Korean martial arts " must be made up" or " make belief" ??
Even till now, I am still having a reaction with people knowing me practising HDGD ,
" Oh thats Japanese Style Korean Sword Arts " or " Oh you are trying to be samurai ??" or WORSE , while I am practicing , there are people from God knows which floor they are in the their apartments , screaming from at top of their voice from the window " Hey you there, you are practising kendo , arent you ??"
I hope HDGD will remain true to its roots , irregardless whether it has new or old historical linking in the past. Thats I am truly striving for.
