Well, maybe. But, according to
this CBC News article, the Shaolin Temple might take a Japanese internet user to court if he doesn't apologize for saying a ninja beat them all...
(Having not heard anything about the alleged match at the time, I suspect the Shaolin are in the right in this one... but I have no proof either way.)

Yes, but the battle was On-line Streetfighter Alpha3 and the Ninja cheaped out and played Chun-li.

Once every few semesters we get someone in the swordhandling class that says they are training in ninjitsu. I smile and nod a lot at this. One pair noted that they trained as a particular park at a particular date (Saturday mornings) they invited me to come observe. Perhaps it was to be gang-up on the fat samurai douchebag time.
I went. I arrived at the appropriate time, and walked through the park. No one was there - well, I thought to myself, these guys are pretty good.

I would love to take a swordhandling class, so I can go beyond "being able to carry it from place to place without cutting myself badly".
Took me a few years to get to that level from "able to carry it from place to place (in a scabbard) without cutting myself badly.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979
