I agree. I actually train in the Yamaneko Dojo in Arizona... Shihan Jeffrey Prather's Dojo.... we're blessed with excellent instructors. I can vouch for the practicality of these techniques, because I've been on the recieivng end of them. The thing is... you can't fake it. You can't set it up. If a technique is to work right... you have to commit to trying to hurt your instructor. Best advice I can give for skeptics is to JOIN and TRAIN for a few weeks or months.
This is what real Ninjutsu is all about: effortlessly bringing down an opponent through extreme precision. There's a reason you always see ninjas teleporting, breathing fire, cloning themselves and becoming invisible. They were so skillful, the samurai believed that's what they had done.
For all the idiots out there who just complain - ninjutsu, aikido and the like are based on a 1000 year old tradition that wasn't just based on "kicking the shit out of everyone to get the chicks" like muay thai and kickboxing. These martial arts teach you and help you to mend your mind and body, to become a better human being and show you the way of the japanese warrior while following, respecting and honouring the code of bushido!
Großartige Vorstellung. mit lockerer Einstellung und fast gedankenloser Leichtigkeit lässt sich vieles viel besser beherrschen. Gute Selbstverteidigung kommt aus dem sicheren Greifen ohne Vorzeichen zur Aggression.
When you fight an old man who has been doing martial arts his whole year, they can beat you while looking like they are joking around and that you are playing along with them and turning for them. My master in taekwondo did that, he knew the body joints and pressure points so well that he smiled happily while casually flipping us like mofos.
One my scariest moments ever (no understatement) was at a Jack Hoban seminar (an incredible practioner and person). He simple grabbed my wrist with ease and dropped me to the ground, I have dabbled in a few diffrent MA's but none as scary as Bujinkan.
this art requires sacrifice, patience and a willing mind to accept, change and evolve as you keep up with training. and good humor is needed. never try untdertanding it from videos (impossible) mind and body need to experiment and feel... then you'll understand. so.... PLAY!
people will always have negative things to say about Hatsumi but I say its a 100 times safer to sit at a computer screen and type then to travel to his dojo and train. the truth is in the feeling and for most the realism is in the "fight". Most critics always say it wont work in a fight"
yes I'm dutch myself and i've learned from our dojo's jidoshi that most "instructors" go to japan to graduate in exchange for money....idiots. my teacher is like a demon whenever he attacks, uncompromising and lethal.....makes me shiver just thinking about getting him on my bad side. and always remember that the best instructor is the one that still trains to push his or her boundaries to the limit.
to everyone that doubts abaut ninjutsu, its a martial art, japanesse, (combination of jiujutsu) samurais and ninja did this, no karate, is a budo martial art so theres no champsionship, or public figths only demostrations, because all techniques, have dislocatios and controls being really painfull if you do it at fast speed, and another part is with weapons, and they are reall
Yep klosk86, some people are dumb enough to think that Hatsumi made it all up. Its funny because Togakure is one of the main ones, and its techniques are so involved and complex, theres absolutely no way just ONE person made it ALL up. It would be pretty much impossible. Oh, good video. Thanks for sharing. Much respect! ninpo
trained in muay thai little karate little boxing and lots of bjj of allthe styles when i trained in ninjutsu bujinkan that is i made it my basis this is the most advance martial science you will find and most effective against any kind of opponent no speed or strength needed only timing and distance no techniques just ways to get a result it takes alot of dedication few can handle the training if you have trained in other styles it actually is harder to learn as it is so different.
Check out the throw and neck break at 0.30 secs, even at training speeds how fast do you have to be. As always, to watch Hatsumi's footwork is to watch something amazing.
I trained in Bujinkan for 3 years then did aikido for 3 years (I only meant to do it temporarily for a few reasons) Bujinkan is MUCH BETTER!! I'll do it for life.
true people of the arts will never defend or personalize actions of the weak or defenceless for there own personal gain a true artist will know he or she is more proficient and share that to others with repect and honesty be true to what is right in life and repect all walks of life.
@kickboxerk1 Ive taken bujinkan/ninjitsu and we had some new students which were former MMA practitioners and i will tell you that in the demonstration's we did on them, brought them to the ground every-time! MMA is a sport for action and fun, ninjitsu is for survival. that is why you don't see alot of ninjitsu competition.
Yes, unfortunately I'm stuck with TKD for another year and I absolutely hate it. Not sure if it's the instructor, but I've learned nothing, absolutely nothing that I would considering using in a fight. I hate doing it and I learn nothing. I'll be happy when I get to drop it. Something like Bujinkan is exactly what I would like to do, providing the teacher is good.
@Arteanor #2 - what missions? balck ops guys does missions, hatsumi don't. he is not a policeman. - what to disguise from? the camera? in fact, disguise is there: in ninpo you never know what hit you. - escapeing is the most effective way to survive. (The most effective way of attack. is nuke) - ninja-s dont exist anymore. but bujinkan is 7 different martial arts. - in fact many people challenged him and his master. he's master killed them. he just beated them.
what im implying is that when the time comes to take life will we have the right mind frame to do so it seems that to days society is more on who,s better then the next guy the deep rooted facts of soke hatsumi is that the history and believe is some thing this world is lacking thats why people have a hard time dealing with alot of issues of the arts i believe that it bujinkan has been here for centuries adapting and molding the way for the future the a living art not some thing .
at which point there are 3 options. go to his or any Bujinkan Dojo and train in the style,2 go to his or any Bujinkan school and Attack not challange a bujinkan instructor (be sure to have health insurance and or a will) or 3 keep quite and watch another MMA "fight".
kyle sharpe Masaaki Hatsumi had hold of me when he was 60 it was very scary! fingers in my mouth scratching my gums! in my ears up my nose. my mouth was bleeding afterwords very painful!
kyle sharpe I have very lucky to meet him several times. if you do you will never forget it. he is amazing and approachable he even tried to kill me once! this is me 1995 Bujinkan perfect Sakki Godan Test .
alot of techniques in ninjutsu is a quick disable or a quick kill using technique and less force, it's not BS when you do the right thing on a situation,
@Creationsofmyown , I've seen "Shinobi Soldiers" before, and agree with most of what he has to say. AS each X-kan dojo differs from place to place, primarily what you learn is Budo Taijutsu, which is (yes) a very old form of jujutsu and Kobudo. But when you start going into the relm of espionage, gathering of inteligence, infiltration ,etc. , that's what's refered to as "ninjutsu" ( historical context). Very educated on the subjects and under no illusion here, friend.
well just look at the way native americans live im a native and there is alot of things that the world does not know about us thats just the way it is what you see is not what it may be my people have surrvide many a battle to this day we still fight it is all about flexability and adaptation to a situation just like bujinkan just do what needs to be done and get on with life
@franno12 Ninjutsu is not a fighting style. It means: The art of beeing invisible, ot something like that. Originally, they were spies for the emperor, but they also functioned as bodyguards. I think that the farmers were taught to be ninja or Shinobi.
Well the techniques aren't bullcrap. But certainly a lot of teachers in the US are. I can understand where people say the art is ineffective. If I weren't blessed to have trained with some good people, I'd say the same. It's not the art that's ineffective, it's the majority of the teachers out there. Soke is great. The Japanese Shihan are great. A small handful of others are great. That's about it.
Come on man, it's still good to at least try our best based on what we have to try to keep this going. From what little I've read about Ninja (I'm just getting into research and starting to like Ninja) the Ninja had a very unique and interesting way of viewing life. They were very cool, it's not exactally how the real guys did it, but it's even worse to just say screw them they deserve to be forgotten forever...
I find it so sad to see amazing skills like this - a lifetime of practice - and know that as soon as he dies, all that effort - that amazing human being - will be nothing. I suppose it's true of anyone talented.
My Uncle trains TKD, and he really enjoys it. I don't think he plans on getting jumped anytime soon as he's in his 60's, but he always claimed those kicks are devastating. I personally don't agree though. How many TKD guys are UFC champions? How many high jumping kicks do you see a Marine do? I just don't see it being practical. Good luck finding a good Bujinkan teacher! Not easy to do. Message me and I might be able to refer you to the kind of people you want to learn from.
You can, you just gotta practice a lot. I'm not Ninja, in fact I'm a MMA fight, I mostly do Brazilian Jujitsu. But I do know that this Hatsumi guy is not a God, he is awesome and very proficient in his art. He seems to be the definition of what a "master" is. But he started out just like everyone else. A white belt or whatever you guys have, he started at level zero and worked his way up. You can too dude! When he's dead, someone has to keep this art alive, why not you?
I love how all tbe people who are saying its bullcrap are the ones who havent even tried it. I'm but a lowly 7th kyu and I can tell you simply tbe angling and distancing taught in bujinkan will win in any street fight. You meatheads satisfied with boxing mma and street fighting make easy prey. Go ahead and underestimate us. We like it.
Well there is a Bujinkan near me fortunately, of Shadow Warrior. It seems legit and the instructor claims to have been taught by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi himself. Though I'll question him a lot and making sure it's 100% real, not another McDojo.
@timelessendless you are wrong each of that movements incluides, dislocation, and controls over muscles and bones, one move will put one a person out of figth
@zexeru. He's not in a real fight, he's teaching, isn't he? And with all due respect, unless you have been there and experienced how painful some of those moves are, you have no idea whether or not someone could (or would) keep fighting.
Why do people try to compare MMA to Ninjutsu?I love MMA but Ninjutsu is nothing like MMA .The Ninja were assassins, get it straight. It's the most deadliest martial art period. Therefore Ninjutsu can't be used in a ring.
Do they have a website? If so, send me a link in my inbox. What's the instructor's name? If the name of the dojo has "Shadow Warrior" in it, it sounds like a BS dojo trying to sell the ninja image. May not be though.
"you try to run forward and cut him," this is what i am talking about... the uke swings ages before he can possibly contact hatsumi.... " and he simply pushes your energy in your face. " keep trying to sell that magic mumbojumbo, but im not buying it.... "It's like trying to cut an ethereal wall" exactly, the imaginary ethereal wall you think is hatsumi's forcefield... that is the ONLY THING the Uke was aiming at.... i have no interest in discourse with liars... were done.
for what it's worth, it's pretty common for older people to have purple/dark blue hair here in japan. cant say for his liability but yeah. japan's got alot more than anime bud :/
Who is "he"? Lots of people responded to my comment. His uke isn't attacking with much intent, that's true. That's not soke's fault. It's the uke's. Just because the uke doesn't put up much of a fight doesn't mean soke couldn't handle him if he did. If I were soke's uke, I'd be reluctant to even attack. From what I've heard, his techniques are a tad painful. Really freaking painful. I would suppose that would give a reason to the uke's lack of intent. Thanks for your time.
I did this for a year and trust me the video does not do it justice. Until you have these moves done on you, you will think it's bull crap. It's ment to be effective not flashy and showy. If you were expecting gymnastics go watch the Olympics.
no fears just will not entertain a jester as thats the jesters job fact hatsumi is the soke of the lineage handed down from daisuke togakure also the only national treasure of ninjutsu history by japan and only recognized school the bujinkans 9 ryu were the only remaining systems this is not debatable this is researches and widely agreed by the Japanese government as a practitioner a private security worker mma competitor and student of 4 other disciplines i will tell you it is real as life.
This all very cool and the old man rocks but none of this is very realistic. This was all a show and basically one stepping. More or less if you do that then I do this. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that in real life.
@Creationsofmyown Do you have any evidence of your claims ? That "there isn't a connection between any Takamatsu-Den art, and Ninjutsu" ? Be interested to see or hear that...
@Pha4ton " escapeing is the most effective way to survive. (The most effective way of attack. is nuke)" it is if you don't know ninjutsu.... shinobi would be part of your unit already, and would be biding his time... "- ninja-s dont exist anymore. but bujinkan is 7 different martial arts." 7 different? not 9? yet another rewrite i guess. "- in fact many people challenged him and his master. he's master killed them. he just beated them." this does NOTHING to prove his ninjutsu legitimacy.
@recurveninja that does NOT make what he does ninjutsu.... which is the only thing being said to you... HOWEVER, BECAUSE there is no standard curriculum unlike real koryu bujutsu, there is a profusion of unskilled yet high ranked members/instructors in the bujinkan... that said. there is no evidence to suggest that hatsumi inherited a ninjutsu lineage...
@Creationsofmyown The only thing that I've "learned" from Ep. 3 are two or three guys going back and forth over the same subject; that they agree to disagree. And yes, you do make the clain that ," if you think there is any connection between any takamatsu-den art and ninjutsu, you are indeed indulging in make-believe... " . You seem very defensive for someone so set in his opinion. So with that said, I'll take the way that TSOAS2008 has, and respectfully "agree to disagree".
I agree our training is practical they are merely haters you can take even the biggest numbskull down with the taisabaki ghost technique after all we are trained in a battlefield art not some random bullshit our technique's are meant to kill or disable
@BrokenTengu99 if your not going to read it all, don't bother... "unless you had some evidence for his claims... " i haven't made much in the way of claims, other than a lack of evidence. if you would like to remedy that claim (of no evidence) you are going to have to provide some.. like how about the term "ninpo taijutsu" i want to see that term ANYWHERE that predates takamatsu. i suggest you go and learn from buffon399/buffonmusa and the shinobi soldiers series, ESPECIALLY ep 3
***** I am a 8th Dan Shidoshi Training since 1971 and Bujinkan since 1982. trained 80hrs with Soke Hatsumi my main teacher is Dai Ju-go Dan Peter King. and many others
***** Are you training with him or on a long distance course? because it needs to be hands on it is about the feeling not what you see seeing is nothing . try and get to train with someone not from a video. ua-cam.com/video/6V_R8aiHmkI/v-deo.html
@BrokenTengu99 "If it works, then it ain't LARPin' !!!!" says you... the rest of us in the real world, know that effectiveness does not equal legitimacy. if you want to believe that what you are studying has ANY relation to anything done by shinobi, you are in deed roleplaying, so yes, you are still larping if you think the bujinkan has ANY legitimacy in its claims... ninjutsu isnt even a martial art... shinobi soldiers would be a great place to start when you "EDUCATE yourself."
"Hatsumi can "only win" with the uke doing hicho kaiten?" first, hicho kaiten never takes place in the Bujinkan Con video... nor the Mind body and kick ass moves one.... "You can't prove that." so hatsumi really can dodge someone swinging at him? why did the BJKguy not even try to connect with him then? "Have fun discussing endless circular arguments with countless UA-cam users. " there is nothing circular about my argument. "I'm not one of them. " did u even WATCH the Bujinkan Con video???
@nicholas46461 Yeah if you just watch UA-cam videos, that's the impression that anyone with a logical brain would get. When seen, some of the techniques look like bullcrap. But if you have a GOOD instructor (not always easy to find in America) do these techniques on you, you feel absolutely helpless. The pain and the control they can put on you is overwhelming. I'm a Bujinkan member and I sparred with a TKD guy recently - completely owned him with basic Kihon Happo from Bujinkan.
@jgum86 ok I knew you had to be American with a comment like that what makes you think UFC has anything to do with real fighting? it is a sport! easily proven if we got in a cage and I pulled your Eye out of its socket!, oh yes I did 28 years of Bujinkan so kiss it!
I agree. I actually train in the Yamaneko Dojo in Arizona... Shihan Jeffrey Prather's Dojo.... we're blessed with excellent instructors. I can vouch for the practicality of these techniques, because I've been on the recieivng end of them. The thing is... you can't fake it. You can't set it up. If a technique is to work right... you have to commit to trying to hurt your instructor. Best advice I can give for skeptics is to JOIN and TRAIN for a few weeks or months.
This is what real Ninjutsu is all about: effortlessly bringing down an opponent through extreme precision. There's a reason you always see ninjas teleporting, breathing fire, cloning themselves and becoming invisible. They were so skillful, the samurai believed that's what they had done.

Großartige Vorstellung. mit lockerer Einstellung und fast gedankenloser Leichtigkeit lässt sich vieles viel besser beherrschen. Gute Selbstverteidigung kommt aus dem sicheren Greifen ohne Vorzeichen zur Aggression.
The top thing I have to say about Hatsumi sensei is that he is the most kick-ass, 81 year old, Japanese man with purple hair I have ever seen :)
When you fight an old man who has been doing martial arts his whole year, they can beat you while looking like they are joking around and that you are playing along with them and turning for them. My master in taekwondo did that, he knew the body joints and pressure points so well that he smiled happily while casually flipping us like mofos.
One my scariest moments ever (no understatement) was at a Jack Hoban seminar (an incredible practioner and person). He simple grabbed my wrist with ease and dropped me to the ground, I have dabbled in a few diffrent MA's but none as scary as Bujinkan.
this art requires sacrifice, patience and a willing mind to accept, change and evolve as you keep up with training. and good humor is needed. never try untdertanding it from videos (impossible) mind and body need to experiment and feel... then you'll understand.
so.... PLAY!
One of the best bujinkan vids I've seen!
people will always have negative things to say about Hatsumi but I say its a 100 times safer to sit at a computer screen and type then to travel to his dojo and train. the truth is in the feeling and for most the realism is in the "fight". Most critics always say it wont work in a fight"

to everyone that doubts abaut ninjutsu, its a martial art, japanesse, (combination of jiujutsu)
samurais and ninja did this, no karate, is a budo martial art so theres no champsionship, or public figths only demostrations, because all techniques, have dislocatios and controls being really painfull if you do it at fast speed, and another part is with weapons, and they are reall
Yep klosk86, some people are dumb enough to think that Hatsumi made it all up. Its funny because Togakure is one of the main ones, and its techniques are so involved and complex, theres absolutely no way just ONE person made it ALL up. It would be pretty much impossible. Oh, good video. Thanks for sharing. Much respect!
ninpo
it still impresses me time and time again atr that age Masaaki Hatsumi can still fight like it was nothing.mt idol
Very well said. Hatsumi is absolutely incredible.
trained in muay thai little karate little boxing and lots of bjj of allthe styles when i trained in ninjutsu bujinkan that is i made it my basis this is the most advance martial science you will find and most effective against any kind of opponent no speed or strength needed only timing and distance no techniques just ways to get a result it takes alot of dedication few can handle the training if you have trained in other styles it actually is harder to learn as it is so different.

se la basica de este gran arte marcial , pero ya entrare para el intermedio , espero lograrlo para ser un experto. buen aporte
I trained in Bujinkan for 3 years then did aikido for 3 years (I only meant to do it temporarily for a few reasons) Bujinkan is MUCH BETTER!! I'll do it for life.
And seeing as he's a Ninja, that's probably the way he wants it xD
i love how masaaki does this stuff like its nothing special :D
true people of the arts will never defend or personalize actions of the weak or defenceless for there own personal gain a true artist will know he or she is more proficient and share that to others with repect and honesty be true to what is right in life and repect all walks of life.
awesome! a great video of Hatsumi Sensei *bow*
@kickboxerk1

What you have to realise is that you are watching a man in his late 70's
this video is a great example that you should not judge a man by his size or his age ...
***** never judge an 82 yr old ninja,um make that never judge a ninja in any shape or form.
kyle sharpe Masaaki Hatsumi had hold of me when he was 60 it was very scary! fingers in my mouth scratching my gums! in my ears up my nose. my mouth was bleeding afterwords very painful!
I would love to meet Hatsumi.
kyle sharpe I have very lucky to meet him several times. if you do you will never forget it. he is amazing and approachable he even tried to kill me once! this is me 1995
Bujinkan perfect Sakki Godan Test .
i love it how at 0:35 he's like "thats whats up son!"
alot of techniques in ninjutsu is a quick disable or a quick kill using technique and less force, it's not BS when you do the right thing on a situation,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASSAAKI HATSUMI
You can, you just gotta practice a lot. I'm not Ninja, in fact I'm a MMA fight, I mostly do Brazilian Jujitsu. But I do know that this Hatsumi guy is not a God, he is awesome and very proficient in his art. He seems to be the definition of what a "master" is. But he started out just like everyone else.

I'm but a lowly 7th kyu and I can tell you simply tbe angling and distancing taught in bujinkan will win in any street fight. You meatheads satisfied with boxing mma and street fighting make easy prey. Go ahead and underestimate us. We like it.
well ninjas were samurai but they focused on reconnaissance they were like the special forces
0:35
Hatsumi: "That all bro?"
SENSEI SUPERRRRRRRR Ninjutsu Bujinkan Masaaki Hatsumi :) FANTASTIC
Well there is a Bujinkan near me fortunately, of Shadow Warrior. It seems legit and the instructor claims to have been taught by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi himself. Though I'll question him a lot and making sure it's 100% real, not another McDojo.
@timelessendless
you are wrong each of that movements incluides, dislocation, and controls over muscles and bones, one move will put one a person out of figth
he is the sensei of my sensei :D
With a statement like that. I'm assuming Hatsumi was the last ACTUAL Ninja who was born and raised as a Ninja?
More Ninjutsu MA... MA standing for "My Ass"
it's a good thing i'm from europe
As leader of The Springfield Ninjitsu society I train my students as close to these methods as I can. Kudos.
i´m not sure if it is really so effective as others say. real fight got another dynamic and speed!
@zexeru. He's not in a real fight, he's teaching, isn't he? And with all due respect, unless you have been there and experienced how painful some of those moves are, you have no idea whether or not someone could (or would) keep fighting.
Why do people try to compare MMA to Ninjutsu?I love MMA but Ninjutsu is nothing like MMA .The Ninja were assassins, get it straight. It's the most deadliest martial art period. Therefore Ninjutsu can't be used in a ring.
Do they have a website? If so, send me a link in my inbox. What's the instructor's name? If the name of the dojo has "Shadow Warrior" in it, it sounds like a BS dojo trying to sell the ninja image. May not be though.
@YipManneke everyone once in a while, what is truly spectacular, IS real. in the martial arts world, this is the bujinkan, if taught rightly.
hatsumi ftw!
"you try to run forward and cut him,"
this is what i am talking about... the uke swings ages before he can possibly contact hatsumi....
" and he simply pushes your energy in your face. "
keep trying to sell that magic mumbojumbo, but im not buying it....
"It's like trying to cut an ethereal wall"
exactly, the imaginary ethereal wall you think is hatsumi's forcefield... that is the ONLY THING the Uke was aiming at....
i have no interest in discourse with liars... were done.
all hail the king of the LARPers!!!!
for what it's worth, it's pretty common for older people to have purple/dark blue hair here in japan.
cant say for his liability but yeah. japan's got alot more than anime bud :/
@recurveninja he is a real master :D
PPl who dare to talk about hatsumi sensei first the my get old and when they get that age try to do what hatsumi do right now and we will talk
Ha-ha-hatsumi ;-)
@zekk0ut yes it is!
You want find actual fight on video because at the techniques or meant to seriously injure or kill your opponent not win a fight. Its about survival
Then your trainer does it differently than all of the Bujinkan folks I've ever seen train - and that includes those shown in this video.
What is song's name? Tell me pls, it's very good.
Who is "he"? Lots of people responded to my comment.
His uke isn't attacking with much intent, that's true. That's not soke's fault. It's the uke's. Just because the uke doesn't put up much of a fight doesn't mean soke couldn't handle him if he did.
If I were soke's uke, I'd be reluctant to even attack. From what I've heard, his techniques are a tad painful. Really freaking painful. I would suppose that would give a reason to the uke's lack of intent.
Thanks for your time.
Man is there also a bujinkan school in belgium xD
I did this for a year and trust me the video does not do it justice. Until you have these moves done on you, you will think it's bull crap. It's ment to be effective not flashy and showy. If you were expecting gymnastics go watch the Olympics.
have to wonder why ninjas are fighting in samurai armour...
no fears just will not entertain a jester as thats the jesters job fact hatsumi is the soke of the lineage handed down from daisuke togakure also the only national treasure of ninjutsu history by japan and only recognized school the bujinkans 9 ryu were the only remaining systems this is not debatable this is researches and widely agreed by the Japanese government as a practitioner a private security worker mma competitor and student of 4 other disciplines i will tell you it is real as life.
This all very cool and the old man rocks but none of this is very realistic. This was all a show and basically one stepping. More or less if you do that then I do this. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that in real life.
why hatsumi fears to answer anthony cummings qustions
@Creationsofmyown
Do you have any evidence of your claims ? That "there isn't a connection between any Takamatsu-Den art, and Ninjutsu" ? Be interested to see or hear that...
@Pha4ton
" escapeing is the most effective way to survive. (The most effective way of attack. is nuke)"
it is if you don't know ninjutsu....
shinobi would be part of your unit already, and would be biding his time...
"- ninja-s dont exist anymore. but bujinkan is 7 different martial arts."
7 different? not 9? yet another rewrite i guess.
"- in fact many people challenged him and his master. he's master killed them. he just beated them."
this does NOTHING to prove his ninjutsu legitimacy.
bujinkan has 3 ninjutsu schools and 6 samurai schools
all hatsumi does seems so easy
@lobocrack
se, como el aikido... te agarra uno que pelea en la calle y te caga a trompadas jaja
@recurveninja
that does NOT make what he does ninjutsu....
which is the only thing being said to you...
HOWEVER, BECAUSE there is no standard curriculum unlike real koryu bujutsu, there is a profusion of unskilled yet high ranked members/instructors in the bujinkan...
that said. there is no evidence to suggest that hatsumi inherited a ninjutsu lineage...
is it true that there's a death strike in ninjutsu that almost resembles a thump that was once used in CPR if regular compressions werent working
yea, it's considered very lethal.
@Creationsofmyown
The only thing that I've "learned" from Ep. 3 are two or three guys going back and forth over the same subject; that they agree to disagree. And yes, you do make the clain that ," if you think there is any connection between any takamatsu-den art and ninjutsu, you are indeed indulging in make-believe... " . You seem very defensive for someone so set in his opinion. So with that said, I'll take the way that TSOAS2008 has, and respectfully "agree to disagree".
This art is very very painful and very deceptive (hence the ninja) to all no sayers try this art give it a year or two it's worth it.
Looks like stand up comedy
I agree our training is practical they are merely haters you can take even the biggest numbskull down with the taisabaki ghost technique after all we are trained in a battlefield art not some random bullshit our technique's are meant to kill or disable
@chris60036 hmmm i've never seen people from CMA breaking boards
@BrokenTengu99
if your not going to read it all, don't bother...
"unless you had some evidence for his claims... "
i haven't made much in the way of claims, other than a lack of evidence. if you would like to remedy that claim (of no evidence) you are going to have to provide some..
like how about the term "ninpo taijutsu" i want to see that term ANYWHERE that predates takamatsu.
i suggest you go and learn from buffon399/buffonmusa and the shinobi soldiers series, ESPECIALLY ep 3
I hear some instructors arn't very good anyone know about the instructor in Thailand? His name is Osothongs Ake.
@ninpo4life: March 2012 + Flagstaff AZ = むりょく【無力】
0:50 that Ura Gyaku will hurt like fuck! I must try it next lesson!
***** I was doing it the same way on my students last night after 3 months I have it nailed
***** I am a 8th Dan Shidoshi Training since 1971 and Bujinkan since 1982. trained 80hrs with Soke Hatsumi my main teacher is Dai Ju-go Dan Peter King. and many others
***** Are you training with him or on a long distance course? because it needs to be hands on it is about the feeling not what you see seeing is nothing . try and get to train with someone not from a video. ua-cam.com/video/6V_R8aiHmkI/v-deo.html
RESPECT for comm
@BrokenTengu99
"If it works, then it ain't LARPin' !!!!"
says you... the rest of us in the real world, know that effectiveness does not equal legitimacy.
if you want to believe that what you are studying has ANY relation to anything done by shinobi, you are in deed roleplaying, so yes, you are still larping if you think the bujinkan has ANY legitimacy in its claims...
ninjutsu isnt even a martial art...
shinobi soldiers would be a great place to start when you "EDUCATE yourself."
Springfield Ninjitsu Society meeting this Friday. I will text time and location details.
"Hatsumi can "only win" with the uke doing hicho kaiten?"
first, hicho kaiten never takes place in the Bujinkan Con video... nor the Mind body and kick ass moves one....
"You can't prove that."
so hatsumi really can dodge someone swinging at him? why did the BJKguy not even try to connect with him then?
"Have fun discussing endless circular arguments with countless UA-cam users. "
there is nothing circular about my argument.
"I'm not one of them. "
did u even WATCH the Bujinkan Con video???
@nicholas46461 Yeah if you just watch UA-cam videos, that's the impression that anyone with a logical brain would get. When seen, some of the techniques look like bullcrap. But if you have a GOOD instructor (not always easy to find in America) do these techniques on you, you feel absolutely helpless. The pain and the control they can put on you is overwhelming. I'm a Bujinkan member and I sparred with a TKD guy recently - completely owned him with basic Kihon Happo from Bujinkan.
i want to see some real videos but all the ones i find on youtube just seem like demonstrations rather than an actual fight.
@jgum86 ok I knew you had to be American with a comment like that what makes you think UFC has anything to do with real fighting? it is a sport! easily proven if we got in a cage and I pulled your Eye out of its socket!, oh yes I did 28 years of Bujinkan so kiss it!
