"a penniless but powerful Ninja master" is a good way to describe a lot of ninja masters, tbh
The origin of the TMNT and Splinter, as printed on the back of classic Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure packaging:

Panel 1 is the Turtles falling through the sewer onto Hamato Yoshi with the text, "The Evolution of the Turtles... A boy's bowl of pet turtles falls into the stench of an underground city sewer. They land on Splinter, a penniless but powerful Ninja master who lives in the muck."

Panel 2 features Shredder pouring mutagen ooze down the manhole onto the the normal turtles. The text reads, "Splinter's enemy, Shredder (leader of the evil Foot Clan), pours a disgusting green ooze over Splinter (and accidentally, the Turtles!), hoping to zap him dead."

The third panel shows the Turtles and Splinter mutating. The text reads, "Instead, the Turtle pets mutate into Turtle teens, and Splinter turns into the biggest rat ever to face a trap."

The fourth panel shows the TMNT with weapons drawn. The text reads,  "Splinter, the big cheese leader, teaches the Turtles the ways of the Ninja! Together they form a kick-stomping fighting team for the side of good against the deadly Foot Clan! Get ready for the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!"

it's been a bit, but im writing something new for the website

this time it's about "ninja hand signs" (Kuji)
Donatello from IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles performing this universe's version of the Kuji-In hand mudra "Retsu." I picked this one because it looks only a little different from a real life Bujinkan kamae with mudra called Kongo Gassho

I did that a lot with the first one lmao

i may or may not be looking at a series of videos call "4-Direction Warmup" involving various ancient Japanese weapons

"Ghost of Yotei" is like perfect for me, but i dont own any of this generation's consoles and have no plans

watching streams of it makes me wanna get up and practice martial arts, tho, so there's that

that's different lol

i would really like it if at least ONE PERSON on Twitch who is streaming Ghost of Yotei would do some stealth stuff

every stream is like "welcome to Ghost of LEEROY JENKINS"

sorry, folks

im drowning in paperwork this week
Various handwritten martial arts rank menjo (diplomas) and one printed martial arts teaching menjo, one rolled up Japanese style makimono (scroll), a Mirage Eastman & Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed journal, and a copy of TMNT 1990 on DVD (dual sided; 4:3 and 16:9 presentation)

its really only because other people keep bringing it up that i even think about it, yeah

i like this strategy

regardless of if the story is serious or silly, the vintage toys really did inform my preferred TMNT aesthetic going forward

First clip from ‘TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: CHROME ALONE 2’ drops, set in the ‘MUTANT MAYHEM’ universe.

The Turtles head to New Jersey on a mission to stop a toy company cashing in on their viral fame.

I think it should be a rule that you can only describe your position as a "ninja" if a daimyo has felt the cold kiss of your blade's steel in the dead of night. We need to have standards here, people.

if you complain about your wife who's trained in ninjutsu, then instead of "the ol' ball 'n chain" you have to call her "the ol' kusarigama"

a TMNT cake with these candles was offered at grocery stores for several years when i was a child. i always wanted that cake for my birthday but that sort of thing is expensive

and now i'm learning that the part i wanted most, the candles that look like the toys, were available separately all along
TMNT birthday candles from the 1980s featuring the four Ninja Turtles and Shredder. They look to be based off the 1st wave 1987 Playmates toy designs the same candles from the first photo in unsealed blister packaging from 1989

remember not to engage him directly

And done with all Tales of the TMNT vol 2! Caught up on everything Mirage related that’s available on comixology. I think the original Mirage TMNT has become my fav incarnation of them so far.

A lot of stuff from the 1987 series gets adapted into later Mirage stuff which is neat.
