  • I started practicing about 20 years ago and trained for about 6 years before moving over to Aiki Jutsu, which I've been practicing ever since.

Examples

  • Well, you see, I think I can explain this. You see, the reason it would, or at least it should, work is because the person's body should have muscle memory like all bodies do, so that person's body should naturally be able to pull off the Jutsu, right?

  • Well, I have to disagree because Yamanaka's can read minds, which means that they can figure out how to use the Jutsu through reading the person's mind.

  • Well, along with what Dragon said about muscle memory, I mean since the Yamanaka would be reading the person's mind, wouldn't they learn from the user themselves how to have the concentration and skill to use the Jutsu?
