    This is one of the best explanations of Yoko Aruki, not only the movement but how to incorporate and use it I've ever seen.

    :) Your words of wisdom shine, sir. A man at peace and grounded within himself can say everything by saying so little. It's crazy, perhaps, but I know when a man speaks from his heart without ego. He creates a light, playful atmosphere, yet leaves the shrewd observer in no doubt as to his relative mastery of himself. No aggression required. Thank you, "mauigio".

    this guy is an amazing instructor....i watch all these videos and i practice this step alot and what i find when putting this step into practice is that not only do you maintain balance and posture but you also maintain control of your ki and are able to apply it in the right direction and still maintain a strong stance through the entire movement...it also helps to confuse your opponent and is best applied while watching your opponents mid section so that you can watch his arms and legs

    It's refreshing to see a style of ninjitsu that is not complete horseshit...To me your style actually resembles a mix of Muay Thai and practical jiujitsu ..Very nice

    Rather than criticizing, why don't you watch videos and take the bits you like and leave the bits you do not like. Absorb the information the man has to offer and decide what works best for you and adapt it then you'll probably become better fighters!! '' Those who can, DO, those who cant CRITICIZE''!!!!

    You are correct. That is essential. Using any technique repetitively opens you up for attack

  • @adcyuumi
    @adcyuumi 5 років тому

    I'm enjoying the walk through these older videos. It's nice to see the cross step, a move relatively unique to ninjitsu, demonstrated. This video seems to concentrate on how attacks combine with it, but the step has other uses.
    One advantage of the cross step not demonstrated here is that from the crossed position, it is extremely easy to drop yourself to the floor then "bounce" back up to a standing position (if you are young and spry anyway) or tumble in any direction. You can only drop to the floor quickly like this and also stay on balance when you have your feet crossed. Otherwise you do not have you feet gathered under you to return to a standing position. Particularly when fighting with bladed weapons dropping "impossibly" low to attack along the floor and then getting back to a standing position immediately is relatively impossible without the cross step or committing to a directional tumble. The cross step is superior.
    Another advantage of the cross step is how well it changes lines; you do not have to perform the cross step directly toward an opponent, but instead to your lead side as a circling move that moves you quickly. Your rear foot ends up facing the opponent as your lead foot, and your lead foot steps into place as your rear foot. You arrive at your opponent's side or almost entirely behind them (before they turn to meet you) in reverse stance with just 2 steps. As your opponent shifts stance to meet you, you are ready to attack but they are unprepared -- this is one purpose of the step, to set more quickly that can be done with other footwork and then use that advantage to gain initiative. People who are not very ambidextrous can have trouble applying the cross step this way, but the traditional kata he demonstrated (briefly) shows how you reset to the stance you are most comfortable using.
    You do not want to be attacked in the middle of your cross step. Balance is mildly compromised, and the angle of your rear leg leaves that knee open to a potentially crippling kick. It is important to keep that leg slightly bent so that if you are kicked to that knee, your leg will pivot into a natural position (with your foot facing more away from the attacker) to bend without major injury. It is also important not to use the cross step forward unless your opponent is trying to back up quickly. Note that in the video, Yossi Sheriff tailors the size of his cross step to how far the opponent has moved. When the opponent does not step back very far, his step is small and sometimes does not actually cross in front of his lead foot. When the opponent steps back a lot, his cross becomes so large as to become a sort of gallop jump. That's an important detail.
    Very fine videos on this channel so far.

    1. Not all the reasons for movements in martial arts can be explained with mechanics. Many deceptions are not the most efficient mechanical move but that does not diminish their effectiveness.
    A person advancing forward does not move in a straight line. Only an abstraction of the person's center of gravity can be said to travel in a straight line. The joints, limbs etc. move in complex pendulums. So a 100 meter dash is actually a series of running steps that are jumps

    Take a look at our ninjutsu portal (google: "akban ninjutsu portal") - you can see, down below, that there are Traditional kata, these were not derived from Judo or Aikido.
    These kata are the basis of all the individual techniques in Ninjutsu.
    What we, in AKBAN, did is to dissect the kata, train on individual techniques and borrow modern methods of training to make these traditional kata more aplicable.

    You do realize that MMA stands for mixed martial arts. MMA fighters borrow from all other types of combat. So, in actuality this isnt the Superman Punch, its the Yoko aruki from Ninjitsu.

  • @SaiGirl
    @SaiGirl 9 років тому

    Ok. I've gotten to work on this a little bit. Most people are 'right" sided, so logicqlly next wonder whether we should start working "weaker" side as well? Basic assymetric character of this approach (omote of the hips) which people often inadequately describe as either "side stepping" or "cross-tepping". Anyway, after a few weeks working on this, the whole "left/right" question naturally comes up. Because you immediately discover how slow the less developed (usually left) footing is.. Good radar with the front parry/block ("jabbing") arm, helping to establish reach. The right step itself can deliver huge hip power on the right punch; plus perfect set-up for a front kick from the left leg. I would think the step would have to be complete quickly, so as not to unduly expose the "inside" of the right body (knee, femoral, groin). That seems like a risk or inhibiting factor.

  • @AkbanOrg
    @AkbanOrg  12 років тому

    We agree on this. Getting caught in mid-step by a low kick would send the fighter to the mat.

  • @TheNinjashideuno

    Looks very much like a "superman punch" from Muay Thai. Interesting, I've never seen this application before but it is definitely Yoko Aruki more or less.

    this is much like what i use in taekwondo, however i think i will try the shoulder thing in practice some. i really like how it masks the true intentions. i need to watch this video some more on this " superman punch". i got knocked out of a competition due to that, and it's nice to see it where i can review it slowly.

    Ninjalla, I must say, your videos are some of the most helpful Martial Arts videos I have ever seen. I have the Akban Portal on my Quicktabs for my Browser, and I learn one technique a day. Given, it's hard when I am only able to practice Solo, but it helps. You have earned another subscriber.
    Correct me if I am wrong, but Isn't Ninjutsu basically a mixture of Several Martial Arts? (Judo, Aikido, TaeKwonDoe, Etc?)

    • @DouglasEKnappMSAOM
      @DouglasEKnappMSAOM 6 років тому

      No. All the styles you mention are quite new, within the last 100 years or so. Ninjutsu is more like 1400 years old. Even if you say that they are not that old they are least from the 1600s.

    I have also seen Buakaw do it in Muay Thai, but both those guys are very very good and wont do it more than a few times, as a good opponent will spot the opportunity to injure you, The Superman punch perspective is good, and you make the point do it once only. I enjoy sparing with boxers in Muay Thai, they always leave that front leg there for me, but learn quickly.

    I wouldn't argue with you in this case. It also looks very much the old "California blitz" used in point fighting in the 70s and 80s. Bunkai is sometimes the only difference between entire styles so, application is always a question. My philosophy has always been to wring as much out of a form as possible. Oyo bunkai gives you more to work with as long as you don't stretch it too far.

    Has its uses, but would add, that anyone who has done any full contact kick boxing or muay thai, would avoid cross stepping except for the initial surprise of an attack, it can leave you off center and open to kicks on the inside of the knee, Koku is something from the past when people wore armour, but the strikes to under the elbow are a good weak point, especially taller opponents who leave their arms out after a jab, just my thoughts.

  • @keeganphillip5261
    @keeganphillip5261 6 років тому

    Great technique. Don't limit your imagination in thinking that the footwork is only applicable to the situations shown in this video. People are training. Also it's not a "Superman punch"...these techniques been around before DC comics and MMA existed. Plus that kick can definitely land and isn't the only a feint.

    Seems like I've seen this kind of footwork, "opening" of the right hip and leaping punches in MMA competittion, of all places. In fact lately, I've see it used to great effect in "Strikeforce" and UFC bouts. The problems occur with respect to footgear (especially heavy boots) and terrain. Obviously the movement would have to be adapted accordingly. Even so, these are skills worth spending a lifetime on ...
