Of Importance To A Ninja

The information listed below is meant to help ninja(begining and well into their training) understand more about their art. Pay close attention, for if you don't understand this information, the other information is useless.

THE REALITY ABOUT KOGA

We as a Koga school, must to admit that we come from a family clan, which is TONG AMIDA RYU, IGA schools says that KOGA ryus (KOHKA or KOUHKA RYU) school do not exist, to explain this misunderstanding, we know that Koga is not a Japanese word and that there is not a dictionary that explains this word, that’s why we put it originally KOUHKA. But the main point of what is Kouhka ryu is that clans from this valley were ninja families and not clans, they were 53 families each one having a leader. Which helped a location in Japan 1487 (ROKKAKU) to escape from the Shogun Oshinao when he decided to kill everyone in this region. One of the families of that location that had been rescued magnificently was the Sasaaki family. Well, the main difference of the Iga clans from those of the Koga valley is that they were clans from a beginning making organizations as they are still doing today. But the difference of Koga is that we come from families, which with the time we became RYUs, they say that there is no more Koga (as an occidental word) and that there is just fake ninjutsu all around the world and that their school is just the only one knowing ninjutsu. Well if they say that there is no more Kouhka Ryu why we are here with all this information? Maybe because we are fake too, uh??, It's true that we are not blood relatives(descendants) of families of the Kouhka valley, but we still keeping the real knowledge, as we said "you do not make yourself a ninja, you're born to be a ninja". So to those that think that there is no more Koga schools, I just said, " Open your mind a little more.
But what we know there is more schools that are out in this century and most of them are Koga, but the question is are they fake too? as the IGA says? For us that we are here, do not think so, maybe there are some fake ones, but Koga is here even if they do not like it. We don’t want to be the most popular, or the BIG one, we just want to help people and be the best that we can be, following all the knowledge that we have and that we may take along this life, because "one never ends learning, and always, in everyday there is something to learn". We have an open mind, we prefer listen than to talk, we prefer to watch than to act, to give than to recieve, to learn than to teach and all that is based in the "smart situation", because smart is that one that thinks and not that one that just acts.
They were two regions IGA and KOUHKA so that means that there is already two places were ninjutsu was developed, so why to deny something that is already in Japan’s history?
We as a Kouhka clan, must say that we come from two ninja families, one family TONG (China) and the other one AMIDA (Japan). It gives us more strength because our ninjustu had been developed by two families in the Kouhka valley. So there is no way to say that we are fake because we have two and not just one places that are in our background. Well there is not much to say. Everything is in the manuscripts of Japan’s history.

We can say that ninjas were the basis for different kind of tactics, like spying, assassins, sabotage, infiltration, and others. Well today we have different ranks all around the world using the same basis but more sophisticated, and for special operations.
They are soldiers trained to do different types of armament, surviving, infiltration, and others, and in that way become similar to ninjas, but just in physical and mind training.
We can talk about:
NAVY SEAL (AMERICAN) One of the best troops in the world, their members are trained to survive, their training includes water maneuvering, demolition techniques in water. In earth, combat and infiltration, camouflage, and guerrilla warfare.
DELTA FORCE COMMAND (AMERICAN) Created in November of 1977, their purpose: stop anybody who opposes to USA in anyplace around the world. SPECIAL COMMAND OF THAILAND ARMY (THAILAND) Their soldiers are one of the best martial arts training, they try to keep peace in Thailand.
GURKHA (NEPAL) Compared to ninjas, because their ferocity and knowledge in warfare.
SPECIAL AIR SERVICE OF ENGLAND (ENGLAND) Trained in languages, medicine, surviving, shooting, and knowledge in weapons.
SPECIAL COMMAND PARACHUTE ISRAEL (ISRAEL) Trained for parachute, infiltration, warfare, and rescue.
SPETSNAZ (RUSIA) This old troops were one of the best training physically, cause their members good physical preparation, most of them were athletes with military knowledge.
