Don't tell me your an assassin

I am starting this blog with a rather amuzing story. Yesterday i had the second class in Nairn and although the class was very small, comprising of only a few students from inverness and 2 new students from nairn. I had to laugh when standing before me was a rather tall young man dressed in head to toe in - you guessed it - a bloody ninja uniform and holding a mask and gauntlets in one hand. I asked him who he was and why he did not contact me before hand to register his interest. As with all students, i normally interview them to ascertain their attitude. Anyway, i asked him the same question that i ask all students "why are you interested in the Bujinkan." His reply flabergasted me when he said "I want to learn the art of the assassin" the first 3 letters came to mind and i sent him to the Teakwondo class up the street.
This should be a lesson to all. When choosing an art to study, be grounded and read up on it before hand. Don't walk in thinking you are an expert which leads to my second story.

Only a few days ago, a gentleman called to ask if he could train. Inquisitive, i began to ask him questions and when he told me that he was a master without the physical training - you can imagine my thoughts and response.
