Some of what is in there is absolute truth. Some of it is historical fact that few people would know. (I was surprised) Most of it is just funny BS.
Krav Maga is HEAVILY influenced by the Bujinkan. (I'd guess 50% of what they teach comes from our books.)
Aikido was founded by Ueshiba Sensei who studied under Takamatsu Sensei for a while, and you can see this in their weapons work, espeically Bojutsu, which is virtually identical to our Bojutsu techniques. (It's straight out of the Kukishinden Ryu)
I consider both these schools to be Bujinkan (ninjutsu) spinoffs to a degree.
They have their own distinct natures and spirits now, but it is never wrong to show Takamatsu Sensei the respect he deserves.
If a fight goes to the ground, it will be won by whoever is willing to do whatever it takes to survive. The problem with the list is that you have a mixture of enlightenment arts, performance arts, sports, and budo.
It's easy to tell the difference - If your teacher has never showed you where to push on someones' body to make the blood shoot out of their slit throat faster, then you are probably not studying budo.
That may sound like a joke, but it isn't.
