Joe, Glenn, Fred and Don training.

This past Sunday, the Bujinkan New York Dojo was proud to host the 3rd annual Bujinkan Four Winds Seminar. Instruction was lead by Glenn Catania (shidoshi), Fred Feddeck (shidoshi), Don Houle (shidoshi) and joe Maurantonio (judan shidoshi).

Attended by about 21 people from all over the Metro NY/NJ area, the event shared lessons that were to help all Infuse Ninjutsu into their training. Topics included Controlling the Distance, Beyond Fundamentals, Intensity of the Tiger and the Sword of the Dragon.

It was a great time and after the training we all stayed around for pizza and snacks. Thanks to the instructors and the students for making it such a wonderful and insightful time.

To be honest, I think that he and I probably agree on some of our top ten martial arts films… BUT top three? I just wasn’t sure. So, let’s start off with my top three:

1. Seven Samurai (1954)
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
3. Ong Bak (2003)

Well, my friend sent me his list and I was impressed that we both agree that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon should be a Top 3 list. But his other two flims, aren’t really videos I consider that high up on my list. Though I must say that The Challenge is a really good samurai/martial arts flick.

1. The Challenge
2. Circle of Iron
3. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
