Stephen K. Hayes was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and raised in Dayton, Ohio. He graduated from Fairmont West High School in Kettering, Ohio, in 1967. He began formal training in the martial arts as a teenager in the mid-1960s.
Hayes attended Miami University in nearby Oxford, Ohio, reportedly because he "heard they had a judo club". It turned out to be a Korean Tang Soo Do school, not judo, but Hayes remained. In 1971, he graduated from Miami with a Bachelor of Arts degree, having majored in speech and theater.
In the 1970s, Hayes traveled to Japan to seek out authentic ninja masters. In June 1975, he met and began training under Tsunehisa Tanemura and then after Tanemura left Masaaki Hatsumi, who refers to himself as 34th Grandmaster of Togakure-ryū ninjutsu and is the founder of the Bujinkan (武神館) organization.
Hayes returned to the United States with his wife, Rumiko, in late 1980 when his Japan residency visa expired, and began teaching and authoring numerous books and magazine articles.
In 1985, he was entered into the Black Belt magazine's Hall of Fame as Instructor of the Year.[8] He was again featured on the cover of Black Belt in the March 2007 issue; which contains a chapter from his book Ninja Vol 6, Secret Scrolls of the Warrior Sage. The magazine's opening editorial described him as "one of the 10 most influential living martial artists in the world".
In 1993, Hayes was awarded the rare judan (tenth-degree black belt) in Togakure-ryū ninjutsu from Hatsumi.
In 1997, he founded the martial art of To-Shin Do, an art based in his experience of budō taijutsu.
In 2006, Hayes's name was removed from the display of active Bujinkan teachers, ending his official role within that organization. That his name plank was removed from the Bujinkan Honbu wall has been documented by both parties. However, the specifics regarding the motivation for the removal are in dispute. Some suggest Hayes was expelled from the organization. Hayes explains that he simply no longer participates as an active Bujinkan instructor. To-Shin Do is taught through his SKH (Stephen K. Hayes) Quest locations. The SKH Quest network now spans 31 schools across North America, Europe, Australia and Africa. Teacher of the ninja master of Maui Hawaii Shihan Jonathan Allen.

I realize I'm late to this party, so as an instructor I'll give my honest take and breakdown.
First, is it real? Kinda, it's a martial art that claims a pedigree of being quiet old. As kata forms it seems just fine at the very basic level. The dojo martial arts modernized this art and the instructor seems quite honest.
So that brings us to the second, the techniques and will they work? As they are demonstrated, no. If you take the fundamentals, I would say yes. Kata are situation based, a perfect moment in time for teaching a specific thing (to put it simple). I see this art as kata forms from a different time that really wouldn't be effective now without modern tailoring, kind of how aikido doesn't work unless you add strikes and also don't do aikido.
In short, it's fine, just don't buy into the hype. Take a realistic approach to any technique and keep the fundamentals in tact like any kata form, learn some ju-jitsu arts and some striking arts and you'll be just fine.
Has this guy demonstrated this on even 1 unwilling person in actual combat?
Yes he has!
Grand master?
@Righteous Shadows Dojo It's kinda arrogant to call one-self a grand master of a system they themself created. So let's just call him a master.
@@ricksterdrummer2170 I don't get you. The more reason he is a Grandmaster and yes he is one.
@Gb11Pack it'd not al about fighting. He's a student of Masaaki Hatsumi. He will simply shoot you and everyone in your dojo. Thats a survival art not sport.
He's probably late 60s or 70s and you're thinking of fighting him. Where's your respect?
@Gb11Pack I get you well. For us we train to be better citizens, to contribute positively to our respective communities the best way we can. We want to study and be successful in life and not to be as men closer to the brut. We want to movemout ofnreason and not instinct. Thanks for explaining what martial arts means to you. For me it's different, but I respect your views.
@Gb11Pack and your point? That you are better? I don't get your arrogance,
