should i go to kenpo(kempo) or ninjutsu?

[Fred]

I want to learn more self defense and im interested in martial arts so wich is a better way of martial arts

ninjutsu is mainly used for stealth and deception. It is a cool martial art but not to good for sparring or tournaments but it is good against opponent in a real fight because it has some good escape techniques and can confuse your opponent however you probaly wont be able to do all that cool ninja stuff in the movies if you do take it haha. neither are better but some have advantages in different situations.

Neither. Those two styles don't work in street fighting.

kenpo if you jsut want it for self defence. If you want to be a spy or something when your older then ninjutsu it teaches you to engage your enemy in stealth etc.

i would prefer kenpo as someone miught attack you in street and therefore ....

Depends, do you want to defend yourself or assassinate someone?
Stick with kempo.

Please do not listen to the man who knows nothing about ninjutsu telling you it's for spies.

Kenpo is usually used in reference to arts imported to Okinawa and Japan from China (as in Shorinji Kenpo), and are, while uniquely Okinawan or Japanese, influenced originally from China. USSD Kenpo centers tend to claim this sort of lineage, though Ed Parker, though my experience with them was lackluster.

Ninjutsu is usually used as a substitute term for the teachings of the Bujinkan, Genbukan, or Jinenkan. Typically, what's being referred to is the taijutsu (body skills) of the art. You might get a better idea or some good answers to your questions about the Bujinkan by following the link to my website below.

Ultimately, which you do should be dependent upon your impressions of the instruction you'd be receiving -- a great instructor in one is better than a lousy instructor in the other. Go to each, inspect the classes, see what they offer, and make your decision on your gut instinct. Be critical and enjoy! You'll do well, whichever you choose.
