Jidai Geki is the Japanese term that Lucas derived Jedi from. Jidai Geki means period drama, or a Japanese soap opera. Lucas had heard the word while staying in Japan and liked it.
Sidious Fighting Style
I was born in Japan and have been studying the Japanese arts all my life and I'am glad to finally see someone who has gone to Japan and learned one of our most sacred arts and culture. I have to say right on jpsmith 52.I just recently moved to the U.S. and found out that Westerners don't know much about Japanese culture or even understand the Japanese Martial Arts system. And to Darth Janus and LordSorgo yes the highest ranking Ninjitsu practictioner is given the title Grandmaster. Ninja didn't follow traditional Japanese fighting styles or customs they merely created their own system and own code from the first Ninjitsu Minamoto Yoshitsune who was taught by Buddhist monks who educated him in the Chinese book The Art of War by Sun Tzu. You can only obtain that title of Grandmaster by defeating all other students past and present on a ceremonial ground by the choosing of the Grandmaster and thereby ordained with the Ninja Ken that has been passed down for centuries. Finally, Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi is the last line of Ninjitsu Grandmasters. He is legendary and I suggest Darth Janus and LordSorgo that you take a trip down to Japan and learn the true history of the Ninjitsu warriors.

Now that i have read through that staggering bullshit, i shall counter attack your silly arse.
For starters
The highest ranking Ninjitsu master is not given the rank of Grandmaster. It completly breaks the Ninpo code. COMPLETLY!
The only reason Hatsumi is called Grandmaster is because he completly mastered the Martial Arts, but he is not a certified Ninja and unless you have traveled the world and looked at every single spot on the entire earth, than you do not know whether he is the last remaining Jonin Ninjitsu Master. He is just a popular Jonin. Actually, he does not deserve the title of Jonin because he does not abide by the Ninpo code because he declares himself a Grandmaster.
Ninjitsu Warriors
Ninja's are not Warriors....
Definition of "Warriors":
One who engages is combat using aggression and power.
Well, um.... Ninjas use aggression and power now? I thought they used stealth and speed? Oh but wait.... You're another experience Martial artist..... Coincidentally.
I just recently moved to the U.S. and found out that Westerners don't know much about Japanese culture or even understand the Japanese Martial Arts system
Then you are a stereotypical racist practicioner.... Not a martial artist! Here, let me be racist as well....
If you don't like us "Westerners" i suggest you head back east and finish your plate of rice.
Ninja didn't follow traditional Japanese fighting styles or customs they merely created their own system and own code from the first Ninjitsu Minamoto Yoshitsune who was taught by Buddhist monks who educated him in the Chinese book The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
Ninpo practically completly follows Samurai tradition, which everyone knows is Traditional Japanese arts/Fighting styles, so you are basically saying that Samurai's do not follow Traditional Japanese arts or fighting styles. But haven't you been studying Japanese martial arts for years?
And like i said before, if the entire Ninpo was entirely based apon Sun Tzu's lore, the Ninja would be chinese! And the Ninja "changed" the Bushido code, they didn't "make" anything, Mr. Experienced Japanese Ninja boy.
You can only obtain that title of Grandmaster by defeating all other students past and present on a ceremonial ground by the choosing of the Grandmaster and thereby ordained with the Ninja Ken that has been passed down for centuries
Wrong again. The rank of Grandmaster is obtained if you completly master every essence and practice of a certain Martial Art..... Or if you're a real good chess player....
I'am glad to finally see someone who has gone to Japan and learned one of our most sacred arts and culture
Apparently, you were born and raised there but you don't know dick all.
Now, i suppose you still think us Westerners are somewhat unknowledgable to that overrated culture of yours?
Wow, looks like i have had a first hand introduction to how rude homegrown Easterners are.

I'll write you down on the list of "Sarcastic moronic fools" before someone else takes away the pleasure of doing so....
That Choreography involves moves that were taken by sword fighting styles, Correct?
Pretty much what i thought.

Yes, but because of the meshing togetehr of styles movie choreography uses, not to mention the overlap of styles sharing similiar moves, you can't really attribute it to any one style of swordplay. Hence I shuffle it under the style of hollywood choreography.
You continously miss the point. Whether there is more than one point, the fact still remains that the Choreography consists of Sword styles. You repeated yourself, just with more wording.

Once again, I was trained by Jesus, so you and your grandmaster can go f*ck yourselves.

Ah, yet you STILL do not understand. This is quite entertaining. You can use a Sword using Spear technique and a spear using sword technique. There, i put it in the most basic form. Although i do not think i can continue to break it down to be on level with that knotted intellegence of yours.
