Though Spinjitzu is really now a martial art, and it should be tought to the students, so that they at least can use it in self defence. Also, non elemental based Spinjitzu is not as powerful as elemental based spinjitzu like fire spinjitzu, why? because it would hurt more to be punched in the face by a flaming fist than a normal fist.

Also the Skulkin and Serpentine would know Spinjitzu, the reason why is to have the spinjitzu sets make sence, so the skulkin (at least the generals and Commanders (that is what i call the named Skulkins: Frakjaw, Bonezai, Chopov and Krazi)) would have been thought Spinjitzu by Garmadon, while the Serpentine would have learned Spinjitzu by spying on the humans some time before the Serpentine war, also Spinjitzu was more used in that time, then it was today, where practicly no one even knows of it. 1. I don't mind the Ninja teaching at that school. I think it's a great idea for them to give back to a school they and the viewers are already familiar with.

2. I get that Elemental Spinjitzu is more powerful, but if anyone can just sign up for the class, then it can get sketchy. More people are going to use it as an advantage to themselves than as defense. How would police stop robbers that can do spinjitzu? We've seen that police don't carry guns in Ninjago, so when it comes to melee, they wouldn't stand a chance.

3. Spinjitzu was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, so I don't think he would want random people (especially villains like the Serpentine and Skulkin).

4. Spinjitzu seems more like a family thing that's quite hard to teach (especially to the Skulkin that aren't very smart at all). I don't like the idea of lots of people knowing spinjitzu. It's the whole basis that Kai can't defend himself against Samukai, and doesn't know what spinjitzu is. Also, the one way the Ninja had an advantage against the whole Skulkin army in the pilot episodes was by doing spinjitzu. If all the Skulkin (or even just the top ranked ones) could do it, then how would they beat the Skulkin army when first meeting them?

Spinjitzu is supposed to be special, and I just think this takes a bit of that away.
