on 10/31/2008 the ninjas were the elite,not lower class.And they were not farmers.They were more like secret service,or a c.i.a. of those times.The Lords (who ruled provinces in Japan)had a sluth of Ninja's to gather information on the other Lords and to protect their lord. There is basically only 2 ninja clans,Koga and inca.Non of us are ninjas .Nor can we become 1.The ninjas died off in the sixteenth century,When the emperor ordered to execute all ninjas.Because they were a threat to him.Like you,I PRACTICE the art of NiN-Jitsu.I study MYAA ryu Nin-Jitsu do.Taught by Master Yusef Ali Abdullah.Our Grand master is Ronald Duncan.I have not watched any of your videos yet,but I will shortly.I'm not writing here to criticize,but to educate.All respect.Where is your Dojo located ?I'm from Williamsburg,Brooklyn.My name is Chris.ooosh
