A few weeks ago, @SenseiSeth came by our dojo, @ChapelHillQuestMartialArts, to look at some of the ninja's weapons. The resulting video is • Ninja Weapons are TERR... , and it is great. But during the filming of that video, we had a few discussions that didn't make the final cut, and I wanted to elaborate on something. Why do some of the old Ninja masters refer to this style as "The Art of Winning?"
I have been able to connect to a couple of brands I believe in and use to bring you guys some cool discounts and, in turn, receive a little support from the brands in return.
The first brand is a shoe company I have been a fan of for over four years. EarthRunners makes a minimalist-style sandal that I keep coming back to because they work as advertised. They are low profile, comfortable without being bulky, and stay in place. They provide a great grip on the rocks when I fish and explore in the mountains and allow my toes to spread naturally. I have done a few reviews on these sandals on my UA-cam channel, but the best endorsement for these things is the sheer number of friends at our dojo who wear them. It is almost the “official ninja summer footwear” over here. If you check them out and decide to get a pair or two, please consider using this link: earthrunners.c.... If you use this link, it supports us as EarthRunners pays us a small commission. If you get used to these, it will be hard to return to anything else.
The next brand that I have been able to gain an affiliation with is one that I gets me super excited. Origin, the maker of the best jiu-jitsu gi’s in the business, has given me the hookup. There are many reasons that I’m excited about this connection:
1. Professor Roy Dean, my jiu-jitsu instructor, is affiliated with them; these are the gi’s he wears.
2. In addition to gi’s and jiu-jitsu equipment, they have a supplement line that I have used for over two years (I take their krill oil).
3. They are now making what is looking like a pretty cool hunting line of camouflage gear.
4. Most importantly, they are making their stuff here in America. They are rebuilding NC mill towns and bringing back real manufacturing jobs to our country.
If you take a look at these guys, please use this link:

And if you decide on some gear, use the code “MERRITT10” at checkout for a discount. Using the link and the code prompts Origin to give us some monetary support in return.
If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen that I have been pushing some new NinjaEveryday T-shirts. If those interest you, we have several colors and styles and lots of cool Chapel Hill Quest merch. Check out our Shopify page here and grab some gear! chapel-hill-qu... - Фільми й анімація
Like Batman once said in _Batman The Animated Series_ "Their (ninjas) only code is to get the job done"
Love this concept. Bruce had a quote from that show Longstreet "learn the art of dying" - which on the surface sounds like the antithesis to winning. But, to be free of the thought of dying and doing your best - you have no choice but to win.
Thanks for watching! I love the idea of the old samurai practice of starting out each morning by practicing being dead for a few minutes. Gets your head right.
Bruce Lee was a fraud who never fought but took all the credit
BRUCE LEE NEVER FOUGHT
@SINdaBlock411 WHY ARE WE YELLING- but seriously, he did. Boxing. Look it up
@@metrolinamartialarts HE NEVER FOUGHT
loved everything except.... Guns didn't come to Japan through Cmdr Perry. Perry arrived in Japan in 1853. Oda Nobunaga was using guns back prior to 1600. I believe the Portuguese brought them to Japan and the Samurai took advantage of them. I love that viewpoint that "Ninjutsu" is the Art of Winning. Win or die! I love your videos and the way you incorporate your BJJ with Toshindo.
You are right and I realized my mistake after the fact!

Diamond Dave was wise beyond his years!
Wow. These are some powerful words Friend! Thanks for putting it together. 🐉🦖
Thank you brother!
Your facility and program are amazing! I wish you were in my state. Love the videos you've done with Sensei Seth.
Hey man, thank you very much for watching! Stay tuned because we've got more in the hopper. If you have any questions about starting a training group in your area, shoot me a message on Instagram or Facebook!
Sobering reminder that the ultimate goal is to win and not get dismembered or killed, and to use everything at your disposal. love these videos, and i've got some binge-watching to do!
Thank you for watching!

I have a question. If ninja had to win under these circumstances, when then is things like Bjj able to beat ninpo taijutsu so easily or is that just an urban myth?
@@richardmartinez2973 BJJ wins in a one on one fight most everytime (because of good techniques (that most martial arts understand at least on a surface level) but mainly because of the way that it is trained with resistance). But imagine someone skilled in both arts that could excel in a one-on-one exchange as well as train for more complex conflicts.
No, the last or ultimate goal of a shinobi no mono is complete the mission and come back alive...and not use force or fight in the process...
This really helps me get a better understanding of ninjutsu and toshindo im a green belt in wind and i just love it . I wouldnt say im literally a green belt because im still understanding and learning even the basics just being in kamae knees bent in gravity etc are dojo is the only one in the uk so im very fortunate to be able to study 3 hours 3 days a week as well
Awesome! Where are you training?
@@TheNinjaEveryDay its a church in the northwest my teacher is Dale Akitoshi Hesketh who is under Anshu stephen k Hayes 😀
Enjoy your training and please tell Mr. Hesketh that I said hello!
@@TheNinjaEveryDay will do buddy I'm there tonight
It's nice to hear "Hayes" & "Hatsumi" being mentioned...I studied many of Hayes' books when I was younger, from my teenage years to my early 20's! (Feeling nostalgic). I also studied briefly at Frank Dux's Dojo.
I remember seeing a show about testing ninja skills in comparison to modern tactical strike teams and seeing whether there could be a modern relevance of ninja skills...Stephen Hayes was put to the task...objective: get to a highly guarded target within killing distance before getting killed...tactical team got it done (fairly quickly)...Mr. Hayes also got it done! It took him about three hours (using guile, deception, misdirection and lots of patience...but he did it without weapons, the tactical team had all kinds of fancy toys and a five elements unit, if I remember correctly.
Some say that the birth of the modern tactical and covert operations systems are all founded on the shanobi system.
Thanks for watching! I remember the show that you are talking about, and it was very cool, on the Discovery Channel I believe.
I just watched the Stephen k Hayes video...interesting how he uses ninjutsu
@@jackmoba611 I belive that illustrates more of the reality of ninja operations back in the day. Truth be told most of us have an image of how ninjas were, based on legend, myth and the glorification in movies. As one covert operations instructor said "If you get to the point of doing all the James Bond action stuff...jumping out of cars, planes...shooting out with the badies or diffusing a bomb with 10 seconds to go, then you failed as a spy!"
Some records and evidence seem to suggest ninjas were more of the unassuming blend with people type of operatives. Sure, they had a vast arsenal of skills and knowledge at their disposal, but I am assuming those were used seldomly or just in case.
Is like if you say "I don´t not learn nothing"
Thank you so much for this incredibly powerful and insightful video
Thank you sir!!!
I really liked this presentation, and with so much misinformation as to what ninjutsu was or is in the modern sense, perhaps this video will give an accurate crash course to those who are curious about it.
Thank you for watching, I hope this video sheds a little light on what has been misunderstood for so long!
@@TheNinjaEveryDay indeed it does, though I have always had an interest in the material, I bought many of Stephen K. Hayes' books in the 80s and the dvd To Shin Do course when I trained with my brothers. I really like your training approach to it and I hope you continue to be successful.
Fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing! 💚
Thank you!

I wonder which group you are referring to. Saika-Shu or the Negoro-Shu.
Saika Shu were more of a mercrnary group and Negoro-Shu are buddhist warrior-monks, they were both known for their ninja retinue and marksmanship.
1:30 I just had a flash of icymike doing an imitation "what about your mind?" **rolls eyes** about people saying your mind is the greatest weapon for self defense.
Ninjutsu Hiketsu Bun FTW
Perry arrived in Japan in 1853. Firearms have been used in Japan since the 13th century gaining popularity with the improved matchlocks brought to Japan by the Portuguese 1543. If the instructor can not get basic history right how can we trust his teaching?
You’re right! It seems that the Portuguese introduced Japan to functional firearms! Thank you for pointing out the mistake!
True, it is 織田信長 who used these firearms in Japan when they still were not favored by many other 大名, the firearms you speak that came from the Portuguese in 1543 were not brought by the Portuguese intentionally, but rather their ship wrecked at the shores 種子島 of the coast of Japan for the reason of a storm that blew them off their original course. Introducing these firearms was part of the reason 織田信長 was victorious in the battle against 織田信方.
Oh how I wish To-Shin-do is available across the world. Particularly in Singapore where I’m from 😅
You could always start a training group! Thanks for watching!
after learning ninpo for almost 2 years and on 6th qui (principles), I am still not acquired fluency. The syllabus is long and technical and demanding and after learning principle, it takes fluency in the art to make it effective. Unlike boxing it is not simply about knowing how to throw punch and kicks but to combine grapling with space and body dynamic, pressure point. Ninjitsu is Jspanieise juijitsu with a different combat philosophy. Only those who have martial attitude will succeed.
from what I've seen ninjas were basically soldiers that had an expertise in guerilla warfare.
It’s not, but cool.
Hahahaahaha...don´t exist the so called "NINJA WEAPONS"...All the weapons are used by militar people, called BUSHI...
