YAY! I knew all of those!
in order, their japanese names are Rin, Kyo, Toh, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen. Except for the last one, but you just put your index fingers between the middle and ring fingers of the opposite hand.^^

That sign for dimension is actually taken from statues of the Mahayana Buddhist diety of Dainichi Nyorai. The hand mudra stands for the five worldly elements, omniscience and wisdom of universal lawfulness.

Ironic that a religion associated with non-violence and anti-materialism would be taken up by a martial art practiced by hired assassins.

It was a village magistrates job to keep the peace on a village. Not a Ninja.

Not a Ninja. do some more research, your tlaking to a ninjutsu student here. samurai were definatly power hungry tyrants that terrorised people to gain more land for their warlord. if the samurai did the protecting, there would be no war because who would be there to cause it? it's "feudal" japan!!

And you're talking to a Jujutsu student, we're at polar opposites. We can't help it. xd I suggest you read Hagakure. It was written by a Samurai protector of a family. Not all Samurai were power hungry. Some were devoted servents to their masters.

I think the point being made by both sides here is that you shouldn't make generalizations about either Ninja or Samurai. It's hard to believe the whole group of someone are all like this, or all do that.
