Please don't confuse what you see in ninja movies as real martial arts.  Oh yes,
they do all the kicks, punches, and screams, but their motive is entertainment.
Unfortunately, many people consider death as entertainment.  Real martial arts
is a study of life in balance, peace, self control, spirit, truth, ect...
These are merits with lots of moral value!  Given, `Master of Death' is a mean
title, and would probably be a great character in the next karate-chop flick-
but this is not something martial artists are really proud of. :-}
