You're welcome.
I realize that I didn't finish my statement.
So basically, there are officially no more ninja clans, but there are schools that teach the techniques and very well could be teaching authentic stuff.

Of course, a good ninja clan would not be known, especially in this day and age. I believe that it is possible that there are still groups of people in Japan who ply the espionage trade for wealth and power. The tactics may differ, but the concept remains the same.

The class is still taught in as traditional manner as possible. To be taught by an Instructor whose instruction comes directly from the 34th Togakure Grandmaster is such an honour and an absolute thrill. As mentioned previously the Instructor and students visit Japan annually to train with Dr Hatsumi and so I can't wait to go, meet and train with the legend himself.

The class is in Cambridge on a Wednesday night and the Instructor is Shihan Jake Sharpstone (How cool is his name?!!) If you drop me a private message then we can liase and sort out the travel arrangements. Shirindo also has my mobile number if you want to get it from him.
