8 mitos ttg ninja

Ninja yg kita kenal kan orang yg hobi ngebunuh pake samurai kan..??

Nah.. sebenernya tuh ada bbrapa hal tentang ninja yg ternyata cuma MITOS BELAKA...

Berikut akan ane bahas 8 di antaranya..

Spoiler for mitos 1:

Ninja Hanyalah Karakter Fiksi

Faktanya,, ninja dan seni yg mereka pelajari memang ada dan sudah eksis sejak 800 tahun yg lalu..

Kelompok ninja mengembangkan skill mereka untuk melindungi diri mereka dari serangan musuh.. misal Samurai Warrior...

Spoiler for Samurai Warrior:

Samurai Warrior

Karena itulah,, Ninja memiliki prinsip: "Melarikan Diri Jika Bisa,, Jika Tidak,, BUNUH..."

Ninja tidak mengutamakan etika.. Melempar pasir ke mata musuh,, menikam ketika mereka jatuh,, itu udah biasa, gann..

Seiring berjalannya waktu,, ninja digunakan sebagai mata2, bodyguard, dan pembunuh bayaran..

Spoiler for mitos 2:

Terkadang,, Ninja Dapat Menangkap Pedang

Hal ini tdk sepenuhnya benar..

Jika pada saat yg mengharuskan ninja untuk bertarung,, ninja dapat menangkis serangan pedang musuh..

Tapi tangkisan tersebut dilakukan dengan senjata atau perlengkapan lainnya yg dibawa.. Misal claw gear,, atau apapun juga yg sedang dipegangnya,, tapi tidak dengan TANGAN KOSONG..

Spoiler for mitos 3:

Pakaian Hitam-Hitam Merupakan Seragam Ninja

Mitos ini tdk sepenuhnya salah.. Pada jaman modern,, ninja yg bekerja sebagai bodyguard akan berpakaian secara modern..

Trus kapan ninja pake baju item-item..??
Itu ketika 800 taon lalu... Wkt itu ninja harus ngumpet2 di pohon ketika malam hari.. Jadi untuk men-support kamuflase dia..

Spoiler for mitos 4:

Ninja Dapat Menghilang

Mitos ini muncul akibat dari prinsip ninja itu sendiri: Melarikan Diri..

Jadi,, ketika terdesak,, ninja dapat melempar pasir ke mata musuh, melempar shuriken, ataupun melempar smokebomb untuk mengalihkan perhatian musuh..

Jadi,, tidak ada magic2an disini..

Spoiler for mitos 5:

Ninjutsu Merupakan Nama Fighting Style-nya Ninja

Faktanya,, Ninjutsu berarti "Art of Stealth and Perseverance" (Seni Menyelinap dan Ketekunan Hati)..

Ninjutsu memiliki 18 cabang ilmu yg menjadi favorit untuk ditekuni,, yaitu:

Spoiler for cabang ninjutsu:

1. Seishin-teki kyōkō (spiritual refinement)
2. Taijutsu (unarmed combat, using one’s body as the only weapon)
3. Kenjutsu (sword fighting)
4. Bōjutsu (stick and staff fighting)
5. Shurikenjutsu (throwing shuriken)
6. Sōjutsu (spear fighting)
7. Naginatajutsu (naginata fighting)
8. Kusarigamajutsu (kusarigama fighting)
9. Kayakujutsu (pyrotechnics and explosives)
10. Hensōjutsu (disguise and impersonation)
11. Shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods)
12. Bajutsu (horsemanship)
13. Sui-ren (water training)
14. Bōryaku (tactic)
15. Chōhō (espionage)
16. Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)
17. Tenmon (meteorology)
18. Chi-mon (geography)

Spoiler for mitos 6:

Shuriken (Throwing Star) Digunakan Untuk Membunuh Dari Jarak Jauh

Faktanya,, shuriken digunakan sebagai senjata sekunder.. Yg primer adalah menusuk dan menyabet dengan katana..

Jadi,, shuriken sebenarnya digunakan bukan untuk tujuan membunuh,, tapi lebih untuk menghambat, mengalihkan, atau melumpuhkan musuh..

Spoiler for mitos 7:

Ninja Hanya Menggunakan Katana (Pedang Khas Jepang)

Pada jaman modern,, ninja juga diajarkan untuk menggunakan senjata modern,, misalnya senjata yg berhubungan dengan mesiu,, seperti smoke bomb,, ataupun pistol..

Spoiler for mitos 8:

Ninja Harus Cepat dan Kuat

Faktanya,, ninja tdk selalu harus cepat dan kuat..

Yg diutamakan adalah harus dapat menggunakan tubuhnya secara EFEKTIF.. Tidak peduli apakah ia gendut, kurus, tinggi, atau pendek..

Selain itu,, seorang ninja harus dapat memprediksi gerakan musuh dan berpikir 10 langkah lebih maju darinya..

Dan ninja harus dapat mempertahankan body balance nya dalam berbagai posisi dan keadaan yg tidak biasanya..

Dengan gerakan tenang dan fokus,, ninja dapat mengendalikan pertarungan dan memenangkannya..

Pada Gambar di atas,, seorang ahli ninja berada dalam posisi santai dan dalam beberapa mili detik dengan sedikit gerakan,, mampu melempar musuhnya..
