its a true shame that people can't truly appreciate all the hard work and many years of training to takes to master an art, much less understand its core principles.
Of course this not only "Ninjutsu" but that is the special in bujinkan. The bujinkan tai and ninjutsu are a compilation of 6 Samurai schools (Ryu/Ryuha) and 3 Ninja Schools. Sôke Masaaki Hatsumi deservse respect for his lifetime work.
Wow, almost all the way to the bottom of the page before someone who actually knows what he's talking about steps up.....thanks. All you guys who think you would kick this guys ass somehow.....LOL.
For those suggesting techniques look slow : it is done slow to teach how it is done and also to promote safety. No one in their right mind wants to be liable for injury.
When teaching martial arts, you demonstrate slow, and practice slow a few times..... But you build up the speed (otherwise you're in for a rude awakening when you have to do it for real). The sensei generally will demo fast to show the technique, then slowly to show you how it's done. Where is the fast footage? And where is the footage with someone genuinely trying to resist (ie, not a compliant assistant).
I've trained ninjutsu (not _REALLY_ related to my nickname which i got from my days playing quakeworld). And i can say that this really works, really hurts, and if did fast it can invalidate someone forever. We used to train so when making grips the opponent should always try to escape Now, in real life, i've mostly "boxed" in fights, but ninjutsu gave me a good sense of space when fighting multiple opponents. And good low kicks too. 8 months ago i had a serious street fight against 2, and won
Since I first seen this video I now love this song, its only been 4 weeks since the first day I watched this and I've heard this song before, but this live version I like a lot more.
I did this for 4 years and I can tell, thes techniques are very bonebreakin' and very painful. Most of these moves are so quick and so "hidden executed", you cannot imagine their effectness. It's hard to understand what happens in these videos, but I think, each black-belt will agree with me. If you have an eye for these techniques, you know, what actually happens and where it hurts. And THIS is only for demonstration, in a real situation it will be like 5 times faster.
Dude, these “techniques” are shit, you wasted 4 years. 1 year in any other real discipline and you’d be better than u would of been pretending to be a ninja for 10.
Agree. I've trained in this and several other systems. They should rename the system "The Door to Pain". I hate Bullshido as much as the next critical thinker. This is NOT Bullshido.
Except this is complete bullshit. Someone with a couple months of boxing or wrestling training could quite literally kill this man. Even a guy off the streets probably could
@@anthonymike1ps4eso85 Go to a real dojo and try it yourself. Don't belive all that propaganda made on youtube by MMA fanboys. Real martial arts are not for everyone, not everyone can understand them.
ANY MARTIAL ART OR COMBAT EXPERIENCE INNATELY TEACHES DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, CONTROL, AND SELF-PRESERVATION. These are the truly important techniques! It is the state of mind, that primal survival instinct which resides within us all, that we must utilize to master ourselves. Irregardless of the school of discipline you learn it from, it's doctrine is universal: survive.
I hate when folks watch videos that are shown for learning purposes and somehow think it's to show off. he's not trying to impress anyone he's teaching.
ninjutsu in essence isn't a battle strategy - it's a way of life, involving physical, mental, & spiritual aspects. it's not about doing unnecessary harm to or killing people so much as it is about self-protection and survival. real ninjutsu isn't meant to be a competitive martial art or a technique used by the military, but rather a means of overcoming one's personal inhibitions so that he can defend himself from outside threats.
He has a gentleness in his spirit. I can see this even as he throws them down on the mats, he loves everyone. But I bet if he really wanted to kill you, you would have a heart attack just by looking.
Honor? that is not in their dictionary. ...not sure what you are talking about oh, you meant the modern Ninjutsu wanabe teacher for hire? Yeh, they teach using words like honor cause people like you love the word. Any martial arts used by Ninja have already been forgotten and its last practitioner never had any descendants. Their extinct and forever forgotten. ...If someone claims their are, its 100% a lie.
I went through a little of your video comments, why are you so bitter? Are you racist or what, u need to start thinking in terms of people not their color or origin. If I knew you I would be ashamed
I really want to see the practicers against to the MMA fighters, so they are ashaming to the traditional martial arts with simple techniques, we have to show the true proud of the traditional martial arts
What I love about this man is his fluidity and economy of motion, using only the minimal of energy to inflict the maximum amount of pain. What I would give to have this kind of skill.
Yes he is pretty good. But many think this is not effective and can not be used for real situation. They should not underestimate what this old man is showing. He is very dangerous. He can simple kill somebody. I dont like how they guard them self. But this is not all what is about a fighting system. Time and Future weapons change the way we fight.And from person to person we create the art how we defend our self. in real situation we decide what we use and how.a growing prozess.The pain and the seek for the truth will show you in the battle that we doing something right or wrong. The old Teachings should not be forget and realy like i say before it should not be underestimate by the young generation. To me a martial artist should be effective in his skill even in a high age .Thats what is all about. and to survive. You cant do the things you have done in young age. And thats the very important key for the young one. Dont waste your energy like a bruce lee. You will not survive so long in a real battle, without weapons and for sure not if your ass get old. Yes thats a great skill and knowledge he have. And the funny thing is he is not showing us what he realy can do. Thats here is still childplay! I wish him best and you too.
funny as the over exaggerated moves may look, the main point everybody misses is that they are designed to teach you balance and flow. even in mma, if you cant keep your center and advantageous positioning relative to what your opponent is doing, you usually lose. its finally making sense after all these years. i had a wrestler try to take me down recently by stepping in and behind me with the leg for a throw setup. i didnt even know what he was doing, i just felt his weight and countered
(3) The other side to ninjitsu is hidden in the art of something as simple as throwing shaved glass into the enemies eyes, or dropping poison in their drink. The key to the way of stealth is that you are always effective. I hope everyone keeps that in mind. Stealth warrior vs toe to toe brawler...two different experts.
@telemetricsT Ninjitsu was around for longer than 300 years, and remember the ninja had to kill in self defense in order to protect themselves and their families, because they were hunted by the samurai because originally the Shinobi(ninja) were called Mountain Mystics because they were seeking self enlightenment, but the priests of the ruling class believed that only priests were allowed to be enlightened and sent their armies to destroy them.
@student908065 seals are the modern ninjas. ask any seal, they dont fight fare and they dont care if the enemy is sleeping. all that matters is the enemy is dead and the goal is acomplished.
I have just started taijutsu and fell far this art in a big way, Masaaki Hatsumi is yoda I am sure of it, good tune/s for any of his montage is Photek Modus Operandi or Outlook & Mono - Plea Of Innocence.
@Arteanor plus, MOST Ninjutsu originated from the city of Iga, not Koka city. Obviously Hatsumi learn't ninjutsu from takamatsu and opened the Bujinkan. Then Tanamura opened the Genbukan, so I'd say our ninjutsu school is extremely authentic and has a heritage that most organisations cannot claim, plus as the Shinobi-Kai, we're the oldest ninjutsu organisation in the UK. Peter Brown sensei helped set up one of the first ninjutsu seminars in Europe with the help of the 'Shadows of Iga'.
This is a great badass video all around. People can quibble about this and that, and I have vast respect for all Martial arts, but if you've ever trained Ninjitsu workouts, they will challenge you, kick your ass and leave you broken at times lol.
@fardisghomeshi "This goes even for people who have received very high grades and who present themselves as direct students of Hatsumi sensei. First of all, the densho and makimono were not written by Hatsumi sensei, these are densho and makimono that were written by Takamatsu sensei. Among the densho that Hatsumi sensei received from Takamatsu sensei we find the writing of Ishitani sensei who was one of Takamatsu sensei’s three masters."
@Wariar11 " In the late 1960s to early 1970s the concept of combining the elements of multiple martial arts was popularized in the west by Bruce Lee via his system philosophy of Jeet Kune Do. Lee believed that "the best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt to any style, to be formless, to adopt an individual's own style and not following the system of styles." To this day, Bruce Lee is known as "father of modern mixed martial arts".
@Arteanor Fujita Seiko... Everyone knows (who is educated in such ways) that Toshitsugu Takamatsu was the last 'real-on-mission' ninja, who trained Hatsumi and Shote Tanamura, ofcourse Tanamura was one of Hatsumi's Shihans who went and opened the Genbukan, which is a harder school than the Bujinkan, similar to how the Gyokko Ryu and Koto Ryu schools are opposites but still sister schools. My sensei Peter Brown was awarded NiDan by BOTH Hatsumi and Tanamura... cant get more authentic than that!
@fardisghomeshi cant agree. yes, it isnt modern, but its definitly not battlefield oriented. The samurai were battlefield oriented, while ninjas were stealth, moslty for espionage, less for assasinations. There were ninjas for combat and battlefields, but they were adapted differently. And im afraid that if a ninja and some other fighter like kickboxer, mauthai or other would fight in a ring and both were not allowed to kill, the ninja would be in a big disadvantage..
Wilfredo Figueroa sorry but soke hatsumi, he isn`t from koga Bujinkan represents the Iga Ryu Ninjutsu his master were from a Iga ninja clan, The Koga Ryu belongs to another line of ninjutsu clans that thought the american gran master Ronald Duncan, and master Frank Dux they learn ninjutsu from koga Ryu clan members, ,, Hatsumi belongs to the Iga Ryu togakure is a Iga school One of the 9 schools of ninjutsu Iga Ryu,
Does anyone ACTUALLY know the true origins of Ninjutsu? For those of you debating this, I will say, time has changed it as a discipline. As a Martial Artists I say, what we teach/learn now is only a fraction of the true disciplines. All disciplines must adapt to change. More weapons means more risk, this requires new techniques.
MrBoneStripper98 for president! I have trained in Budo for a while and that shit hurts! I know just enough to understand: 1. how good Hatsumi Sensei is and 2. How much that shit really hurts! You just have to get your limbs twisted and beaten a couple times before you realize the severe damage that would occur if you did it in an "alive manner". Timopyeon, that's equivalent to saying boxers should only fight barefisted.
t should be noted that in a lot of these techniques he is demonstrating a core principle of JKD, that being "intercepting " through the use of timing, controlling distance and reading the opponent.
Of course I know what ninja means. I have freaking Chinese as first language and I also read Japanese quite well. You're right, they are not necessarily spys or assassin. But it is one of the jobs they do for a living on the battle field during war periods.
I am Japanese. There might be a teacher of a lot of art of invisibilities in the United States. However, it is only a pretender. Hatsumisensei is a real thing. It is not only an art of invisibility that Hatsumisensei is teaching. The teacher has acquired the military arts of a lot of sects. There is only Hatsumisensei if the art of invisibility of the truth is learnt.
Besides the sense of space, ninjutsu practitioners looks for making damage in many spots in the same movement. A step to a side could be a knee strike in the opponent legs.. a defense becomes an attack against the arms. The thing is, all this is barely noticeable unless you know what to look for. Of course ninjutsu as seen here will not save you, but the real benefits are not evident until you absorb those kind of movements. BTW, i haven't practiced bujinkan ninjutsu in 8 years :( .
(2) You need the brawlers like the UFC/MMA fighters on the front lines, bashing faces and breaking skulls. However, you also need the assassin-esque warriors that are slitting throats and causing detrimental damage to the enemy as a whole. You put up a Muay Thai fighter vs a ninja type fighter, it'd be hard to tell. But to be honest, the Muay Thai fighter, if the ninja was good at what he did, would never know he was being stalked and or killed.
@Dooshtv it makes perfect sense... he was ASKED about togakure ryu, which he originally taught to hatsumi and tanemura as kukishin ryu ninpo, until AFTER the war when kuki had said no to him opening a branch selling it.... 'did he always call it togakure" no, not at first. first it was kukishin ryu ninpo... i don't understand how you can misunderstand this... i can pull down the quotes from kacem's interviews that say that all of the documents/makimono/densho were written by takamatsu..,.
@Arteanor A Menkyo Kaiden is just a teachers licence, it doesn't mean that you're the soke of that particular school, it isn't a grade as such, just a recognition, whereas Hatsumi has the Densho for several different ninpo and jujitsu schools, As a Densho is hand written and passed from student to teacher, how authentic is that? VERY! And the fact that Takamatsu never left the country DOESN't mean that he never provided a Nijutsu service to the active government.
combat is hardly about fighting . its about surviving. anyone thinking they could out maneuver Masaaki a person who has perfected the minutia of movement is pompous
@mingofilaz MMA Fighters and Ninjitsu practitioners alike are both very skilled artists in their own right. Harping on which is "better" is like debating on which traditional martial art is "better" than the rest. Ninjitsu like other martial arts, teaches skills tailored to the history of which they came. MMA Fighters fight with strict rules in the ring. There's no debate.
i watch this kind of stuff and i think like, it looks bogus when demonstrated, how could it really work, but then i remember, ninjutsu was used by the ninja to take control of japan for a shogun, this art is centuries old.
@VoyageurCountry Actually, boxing is SAFER when done barefisted. Due to how hard the skull is, you can break your hand unless you hit it exactly right, meaning most boxers back in the day before gloves RARELY aimed for the face. At most, you got a few cuts and bruises, maybe a broken bone. Death was very rare. In the last thirty years alone, there have been 200 deaths from injuries sustained by boxers. The gloves give an illusion of safety, making them hit harder, causing brain damage and death.
@fardisghomeshi and my PERSONAL FAVORITE. "So yes, these “famous” densho, I had the chance to see them and read a few. Now to say that Takamatsu sensei created these schools is hard to say, and to prove… Even Hatsumi sensei says openly that he doesn’t know. " LOVE to hear that, FROM KACEM,,, how is THAT for credibility? he is your groups historian in your pocket, and even HE says he, and your soke, aren't sure...
by stepping forward/diagonally and moving perfectly with him in the middle of his stepping in. its wierd but i felt what he was trying to do in a split second and countered, pushing him at the right moment using his momentum to push him forward to the ground while i just walked on past him in passing. its really wierd but idk what else to say. it was pretty cool though. he was like wtf that never fails. oh well. sorry
@mingofilaz They try to, and Hatsumi uses that movement to get them EVEN MORE out of balance... And that's only the most basic part of what he's doing. MMA is a sport, this is an art, the depth of them are completely different. MMA keeps what works best and leaves the rest while Bujinkan cultivates every aspect of the techniques which have survived for hundreds of years. It's like comparing a bunch of guys playing with softairguns to real soldiers that have real weapons.
@mizututi I think I read somewhere, that some Hwa rang Do Teachers are saying that both Shaolin and Ninjutsu Arts came form them ( Korea).......well,...........I know it raises a LOT of eye brows(including mine)
@mingofilaz i agree that in a real fight you find out what works for you, and mma is showing everyone what direction martial arts should be taking, what i'm saying is you should go find out for yourself what is crap and what isn't before you make negative comments, i'm sure there are parts of your kung fu that you could use in mma. We as martial artists should always keep an open mind otherwise we wouldn't be able to improve.
Its takes eyars to become good in this, so you can defend your self in the strrets, because its a large scale of techniques. I dont like Bujinkan because of the way they theach,but i respect Hatsumi for his skills.
@Kkunoichi uh, problem then.... there are no ninjas in the bujinkan... see takamatsu, the guy that taught hatsumi taught him all he did, but told him parts were 'ninjutsu/ninpo'. something that according to bujinkan scholar/member Kacem Zoughari even hatsumi isn't sure. i also think it is a little suspect that he only left the kukishin ryu AFTER he had taught 'kukishin ryu ninpo' to hatsumi and tanemura.... when kuki refused him a branch ryuha, he left and made up togakure
I've been developing a one-handed style of Krav Maga, as you can probably guess this is DIFFICULT. I believe all people deserve the right to defend themselves no matter the hindrance. Some say I'm mad, I'm not, I'm dedicated.
@Dooshtv "Tatara magazine page 6. John Lindsey in an interview with Tanemura S asks: "Did Takamatsu S always call it Togakure ryu?": "Not at first. When he was associated with the Kuki family he planed to introduce Kukishin Ryu Ninpo in the form of scrolls and densho. But after the war he distanced himself from the Kuki family and decided not to do this. then he met Hatsumi S. and Fukumoto s. Takamatsu S.i decided to teach them Ninpo. That is when he decided to use the name Ninpo."
@Arteanor Just because those books were written in 1655, 1676, 1681 doesn't mean that ninjustu hasn't survived and been passed down to Takamatsu and then to Hatsum and Tanamura, the fact that there is still a Soke for ninjutsu means that the art is still evolving and progressing. 'go WATCH the shinobi soldiers series'... Well that'd be better than you going and getting your info from the bloody POWER RANGERS!!
this stuffs mainly done for balance and other reasons. i used it to avoid someone trying to punch me. moved backwards just a hair, missed the punch, moved back forwards to the right, and kicked his knee in in a split second. good thing i only used a little bit of force. if u say its crap, you miss the point. what do you expect though. no one really understands. yes this is acted out. mostly. ever see cats play fight? guess what thats for. ill never show anyone what i know that doesnt deserve it.
@GlassyDream "u never been in a karate class or anything before?" we aren't talking about karate. were talking about the bujinkan. "you train the moves to try and make them become reaction and than you apply them real time with the person moving or resisting. " this doesnt happen in the bujinkan. ask around. "Your comment confuses me, its not supposed to be impressive, he wouldnt use real swords and cut his students..." but they don't do sparring, because their training is "too lethal" for it
@3rdeye7thdimension "why are you throwing that quote up?" The answer to your question is: Im throwing that quote up because it comes from Bruce Lee; A person that is much respected in the martial arts community as a martial arts expert. The quote backs up what myself and others on this site before me have been trying to tell you.

Everyone knows (who is educated in such ways) that Toshitsugu Takamatsu was the last 'real-on-mission' ninja, who trained Hatsumi and Shote Tanamura, ofcourse Tanamura was one of Hatsumi's Shihans who went and opened the Genbukan, which is a harder school than the Bujinkan, similar to how the Gyokko Ryu and Koto Ryu schools are opposites but still sister schools. My sensei Peter Brown was awarded NiDan by BOTH Hatsumi and Tanamura... cant get more authentic than that!
Beautiful!
Great footage....kind of an odd choice of music...and it's not "Learning To Fly," the song is called "Hey You" and it's from The Wall.
@fardisghomeshi cant agree. yes, it isnt modern, but its definitly not battlefield oriented. The samurai were battlefield oriented, while ninjas were stealth, moslty for espionage, less for assasinations. There were ninjas for combat and battlefields, but they were adapted differently. And im afraid that if a ninja and some other fighter like kickboxer, mauthai or other would fight in a ring and both were not allowed to kill, the ninja would be in a big disadvantage..
great song great footage
I love the music!
Osu! Great respect for the Grandmaster Hatsumi from Koga ryu ninjutsu.
Wilfredo Figueroa sorry but soke hatsumi, he isn`t from koga Bujinkan represents the Iga Ryu Ninjutsu his master were from a Iga ninja clan, The Koga Ryu belongs to another line of ninjutsu clans that thought the american gran master Ronald Duncan, and master Frank Dux they learn ninjutsu from koga Ryu clan members, ,, Hatsumi belongs to the Iga Ryu togakure is a Iga school One of the 9 schools of ninjutsu Iga Ryu,
Does anyone ACTUALLY know the true origins of Ninjutsu? For those of you debating this, I will say, time has changed it as a discipline. As a Martial Artists I say, what we teach/learn now is only a fraction of the true disciplines. All disciplines must adapt to change. More weapons means more risk, this requires new techniques.
MrBoneStripper98 for president!
I have trained in Budo for a while and that shit hurts!
I know just enough to understand:
1. how good Hatsumi Sensei is and
2. How much that shit really hurts!
You just have to get your limbs twisted and beaten a couple times before you realize the severe damage that would occur if you did it in an "alive manner". Timopyeon, that's equivalent to saying boxers should only fight barefisted.
I idolized this guy and his student Stephen Hayes...when I was 14. Then I realized all these guys are fake af
This is the man who Bruce would have never beaten. He is the deadliest man in the world
Steve I hope you're joking ...
Non of that shit works as the gracies showed time after time!!!👎
t should be noted that in a lot of these techniques he is demonstrating a core principle of JKD, that being "intercepting " through the use of timing, controlling distance and reading the opponent.
PINK FLOYD to a Hatsumi video? yeah why not, can't think of a better band!!!!!!
Of course I know what ninja means. I have freaking Chinese as first language and I also read Japanese quite well. You're right, they are not necessarily spys or assassin. But it is one of the jobs they do for a living on the battle field during war periods.
good song and grand master:)
I am Japanese.
There might be a teacher of a lot of art of invisibilities in the United States.
However, it is only a pretender.
Hatsumisensei is a real thing.
It is not only an art of invisibility that Hatsumisensei is teaching.
The teacher has acquired the military arts of a lot of sects.
There is only Hatsumisensei if the art of invisibility of the truth is learnt.
Besides the sense of space, ninjutsu practitioners looks for making damage in many spots in the same movement. A step to a side could be a knee strike in the opponent legs.. a defense becomes an attack against the arms. The thing is, all this is barely noticeable unless you know what to look for.
Of course ninjutsu as seen here will not save you, but the real benefits are not evident until you absorb those kind of movements.
BTW, i haven't practiced bujinkan ninjutsu in 8 years :( .
6:50 he frogged him then cut him with the sword.. lol
(2) You need the brawlers like the UFC/MMA fighters on the front lines, bashing faces and breaking skulls. However, you also need the assassin-esque warriors that are slitting throats and causing detrimental damage to the enemy as a whole. You put up a Muay Thai fighter vs a ninja type fighter, it'd be hard to tell. But to be honest, the Muay Thai fighter, if the ninja was good at what he did, would never know he was being stalked and or killed.
epic soundtrack.. ;)
@Dooshtv
it makes perfect sense...
he was ASKED about togakure ryu, which he originally taught to hatsumi and tanemura as kukishin ryu ninpo, until AFTER the war when kuki had said no to him opening a branch selling it....
'did he always call it togakure" no, not at first. first it was kukishin ryu ninpo... i don't understand how you can misunderstand this...
i can pull down the quotes from kacem's interviews that say that all of the documents/makimono/densho were written by takamatsu..,.
Where is Ashida Kim and Count Dante!
@Arteanor A Menkyo Kaiden is just a teachers licence, it doesn't mean that you're the soke of that particular school, it isn't a grade as such, just a recognition, whereas Hatsumi has the Densho for several different ninpo and jujitsu schools, As a Densho is hand written and passed from student to teacher, how authentic is that? VERY!
And the fact that Takamatsu never left the country DOESN't mean that he never provided a Nijutsu service to the active government.
El ultimo Ninja Soke Masaaki Hatsumi OSS !!!
I love pink floyd and I respect Hatsumi.
@leecohn
It's both.
Great music.You should have stuck around for the whole video.
Maybe another time when you are not busy.
combat is hardly about fighting . its about surviving. anyone thinking they could out maneuver Masaaki a person who has perfected the minutia of movement is pompous
@mingofilaz MMA Fighters and Ninjitsu practitioners alike are both very skilled artists in their own right. Harping on which is "better" is like debating on which traditional martial art is "better" than the rest. Ninjitsu like other martial arts, teaches skills tailored to the history of which they came. MMA Fighters fight with strict rules in the ring. There's no debate.
i watch this kind of stuff and i think like, it looks bogus when demonstrated, how could it really work, but then i remember, ninjutsu was used by the ninja to take control of japan for a shogun, this art is centuries old.
@VoyageurCountry Actually, boxing is SAFER when done barefisted. Due to how hard the skull is, you can break your hand unless you hit it exactly right, meaning most boxers back in the day before gloves RARELY aimed for the face. At most, you got a few cuts and bruises, maybe a broken bone. Death was very rare. In the last thirty years alone, there have been 200 deaths from injuries sustained by boxers. The gloves give an illusion of safety, making them hit harder, causing brain damage and death.
@mingofilaz We cannot show you a full contact ninjutsu video, because if it was full contact, people would break limbs, or even die.
@fardisghomeshi
and my PERSONAL FAVORITE.
"So yes, these “famous” densho, I had the chance to see them and read a few. Now to say that Takamatsu sensei created these schools is hard to say, and to prove… Even Hatsumi sensei says openly that he doesn’t know. "
LOVE to hear that, FROM KACEM,,, how is THAT for credibility?
he is your groups historian in your pocket, and even HE says he, and your soke, aren't sure...
by stepping forward/diagonally and moving perfectly with him in the middle of his stepping in. its wierd but i felt what he was trying to do in a split second and countered, pushing him at the right moment using his momentum to push him forward to the ground while i just walked on past him in passing. its really wierd but idk what else to say. it was pretty cool though. he was like wtf that never fails. oh well. sorry
true tuff guy :-)
@mingofilaz They try to, and Hatsumi uses that movement to get them EVEN MORE out of balance... And that's only the most basic part of what he's doing.
MMA is a sport, this is an art, the depth of them are completely different. MMA keeps what works best and leaves the rest while Bujinkan cultivates every aspect of the techniques which have survived for hundreds of years. It's like comparing a bunch of guys playing with softairguns to real soldiers that have real weapons.
@mizututi I think I read somewhere, that some Hwa rang Do Teachers are saying that both Shaolin and Ninjutsu Arts came form them ( Korea).......well,...........I know it raises a LOT of eye brows(including mine)
@mingofilaz i agree that in a real fight you find out what works for you, and mma is showing everyone what direction martial arts should be taking, what i'm saying is you should go find out for yourself what is crap and what isn't before you make negative comments, i'm sure there are parts of your kung fu that you could use in mma. We as martial artists should always keep an open mind otherwise we wouldn't be able to improve.
Its takes eyars to become good in this, so you can defend your self in the strrets, because its a large scale of techniques.
I dont like Bujinkan because of the way they theach,but i respect Hatsumi for his skills.
At least this one gets real as it gets.
@Kkunoichi
uh, problem then....
there are no ninjas in the bujinkan...
see takamatsu, the guy that taught hatsumi taught him all he did, but told him parts were 'ninjutsu/ninpo'. something that according to bujinkan scholar/member Kacem Zoughari even hatsumi isn't sure.
i also think it is a little suspect that he only left the kukishin ryu AFTER he had taught 'kukishin ryu ninpo' to hatsumi and tanemura.... when kuki refused him a branch ryuha, he left and made up togakure
I think his skills with the hambo are insane!
Who will be the next grandmaster?
6:10 that part was really devastating!! damn!
I've been developing a one-handed style of Krav Maga, as you can probably guess this is DIFFICULT. I believe all people deserve the right to defend themselves no matter the hindrance. Some say I'm mad, I'm not, I'm dedicated.
hell, i almost dont even look at what my opponent is doing anymore if theyre close. i just feel it and go with it.
@Dooshtv
"Tatara magazine page 6.
John Lindsey in an interview with Tanemura S asks: "Did Takamatsu S always call it Togakure ryu?":
"Not at first. When he was associated with the Kuki family he planed to introduce Kukishin Ryu Ninpo in the form of scrolls and densho. But after the war he distanced himself from the Kuki family and decided not to do this. then he met Hatsumi S. and Fukumoto s. Takamatsu S.i decided to teach them Ninpo. That is when he decided to use the name Ninpo."
@Arteanor Just because those books were written in 1655, 1676, 1681 doesn't mean that ninjustu hasn't survived and been passed down to Takamatsu and then to Hatsum and Tanamura, the fact that there is still a Soke for ninjutsu means that the art is still evolving and progressing.
'go WATCH the shinobi soldiers series'...
Well that'd be better than you going and getting your info from the bloody POWER RANGERS!!
this stuffs mainly done for balance and other reasons. i used it to avoid someone trying to punch me. moved backwards just a hair, missed the punch, moved back forwards to the right, and kicked his knee in in a split second. good thing i only used a little bit of force. if u say its crap, you miss the point. what do you expect though. no one really understands. yes this is acted out. mostly. ever see cats play fight? guess what thats for. ill never show anyone what i know that doesnt deserve it.
@GlassyDream
"u never been in a karate class or anything before?"
we aren't talking about karate. were talking about the bujinkan.
"you train the moves to try and make them become reaction and than you apply them real time with the person moving or resisting. " this doesnt happen in the bujinkan. ask around.
"Your comment confuses me, its not supposed to be impressive, he wouldnt use real swords and cut his students..."
but they don't do sparring, because their training is "too lethal" for it
@3rdeye7thdimension "why are you throwing that quote up?"
The answer to your question is:
Im throwing that quote up because it comes from Bruce Lee; A person that is much respected in the martial arts community as a martial arts expert. The quote backs up what myself and others on this site before me have been trying to tell you.
