Would anyone comment on this "Tew Ryu" system?

It seems to be designed to attract uninformed people intrested in the martial arts.

Comments would be much appreciated.

Oh that's good stuff. I just can't figure out what stunt fighting, a career in digital video, and paintball have to do with each other, though. At those prices, the guy only needs about 3 students to make a pretty good living however. $2000 for "sensei seminars"?

I looked at the site.

Can anyone explain the two guys, each wearing ONE giant boxing glove, fighting AROUND a GIANT BABY BOTTLE on the Travel page?

I do not recall, anywhere in my readings about Nin-po, anything to do with either boxing gloves or giant western baby bottles.

Did I skip the groove here, or what?

Slightly sarcastically,

hey shoken;
you right on the money i feel. looks like he took some lessons along the way at some point and is now doing his own thing. i didnt see any mention of his teachers in the authentic ninjutsu system. which would be either steven hayes or robert bussey. they are the they guys who studied in japan and passed thier stuff down to the next generation.

Don't forget about Bud Malmstrom, who along with Bussey studied under Hayes in the 1970s and 80s. Those three were probably the top instructors and promoters of Ninjutsu in America during the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but there were others.

What's interesting is that these three, and others, have distanced themselves from Ninjutsu, particularly the name, since the Ninja craze of the 80s. Hayes in particular says that he was embarrassed by that fad. They've all set up non-traditional non-Ninjutsu organizations under which they now operate, although they still incorporate their Ninjutsu training to a greater or lesser extent. Shows that publicity can be a bad thing. Except for Sho Kosugi, but he wasn't even a Ninjutsu stylist. Image

Amen.

"Tew Ryu's non-sport emphasis focuses instead on self-discipline, personal growth, practicality and everything today's warrior is looking for."

Shure.

In Tew-Ryu you learn to fight in any situation, with any weapons. You never know when you will be attacked in the vincinity of a giant baby bottle while wearing one oversized boxing glove.
