Basically, start as a boyscout, learn a bit of lock picking, a bit of sabotage, learn manipulation and acting mix it up together and done, you are a ninja
and one more element, spiritual refinement, which differentiates shinobi from thieves, robbers, murderers, etc... i do believe this is covered in one of Antony's books, possibly bansenshukai? can't recall at the moment.
Basically, if you want to learn proper ninjutsu, enlist in your military as a special ops recruit or work in one of your national security agencies. There is almost no other way. Japanese ninja(s) did it, covert ops from all around the world did it. There are other professions though, like corporate spies, police agents that specialise in infiltration in criminal ranks, etc. Who are ninjas by the very definition of the word, no doubt, but they have rather narrow areas of expertise. On the side note, Yugoslavian commandos from the 70s, 80s and 90s (can speak for sure before and after that period) were trained in Bujinkan's Budo Taijutsu (the actual name of the martial art). Bujinkan has the ability to teach you about survival in the outdoors, both group and solo useful tricks, ambushes, etc. And a great martial art to boot (tested involuntarily, though). But can they make a proper modern ninja out of you? They most likely can't and most certainly won't. Are you gonna learn electronic lock breaking, how to create explosives, poisonous gases, how to hack into computer terminals and similar stuff there? No, because it's illegal. As simple as that.
Danny C Illumini I think Bujinkan get's a bit more hate than they deserve. Is Budo Taijutsu a legitimate set of martial skills that "survived" from medieval Japan and currently being teached by Mr. Masaaki? Only God knows. I don't care how many original books and scripts has one read or how good fighter one's teacher was - it is impossible to know for certain. But would it work in medieval Japan? Yes, it would. Can it work now? Only the fighting techniques. It is ridiculous to expect that planting wooden stakes or pouring poison over the rope from the ceiling would work in modern times. However, the techniques are nothing short of brilliant, both in warfare and on the streets. I never really understood why those "mystical warrior" or "skulking assassin" concepts are so popular nowadays. Bujinkan ninjutsu is pragmatic and efficient and, therefore - useful.
This was brief but well put. A lot of the ninja stuff you see is, lets be honest, essentially just "playing ninja". Like using a lot of Japanese words that sound authentic, and dressing up in garb and performing antiquated techniques and tactics with impractical tools and weaponry. A true contemporary ninja should be a survivalist, and acquire diverse skill sets germane to the modern age we live in. But most crucially is the mindset and philosophy of purpose he must maintain when it comes to pursuing his agenda and the decision making that goes with it. This is where he can ply his ninjutsu in a practical way for his own benefit or to the benefit of whatever end the ninja has intended.
So what style is koto ryu shiden fudo ryu etc if Togakure is supposed to be Ninjitsu ? what are the other schools in the Bujinkan are they JU Jitsu what is been taught
i ask because i had heard Hatsumi had some scroll to backup some lineage, however i cant imagine many "ninja" wanting to be named on a scroll as a "ninja"
@SuburbanNinja8000 yes and no, it is not ninjutsu, but martial arts may be ninded when you perform ninjutsu (historically) so yes, just learn to fight.
Thanks antony (I'd say a bit of 1 and really 3 too) ^_^ For one thing the survival skills are certainly not out of date (in fact a lot of what you've shown and mentioned in your videos are still used today. I could always use that. :D
also when claiming the misunderstandings of jonin chunin and genin i suggest cummins visit a traditional clan and some yakuza. there IS rankings. and you Definetly do not want to disrespect the monsho of those families
@TSOAS2008 Antony : I think i got some information for you in the book Ninjutsu Kara Spy sen he form Seiko Fujita he mention something about Ninjutsu as a Marcial Art I havent read the book because its very dificult to find it ... have you read it? does it says something about ninjutsu as a Martial Art? ...
Of course we all know about ninjutsu NOT a martial art but in ninjutsu are there skills of poison ninja did assassinate so it seems thats necesserry and also you talk about explosives is this signalling or more hand grenade ( Did watch MMA vs Ninjutsu) anyway thats it so please answer Thx :D
Before I watch this video I going to say this. If someone wants to be train in ninjujustu, they should find a real true teacher, and not have Dr. Hasami or these other guys train them. A teacher who REALLY knows what Ninjujustu is and is not. Since there is no one in this world that really teaches REAL, honest Ninjujustu, won't be able to teach it. Because Ninjujstu is not a martial art.
Brother I am from the Philippines. Can you recommend a book for me that is now available here or can I order one online? All about the Shinobi thank you
HELLO TO ALL NINJA AND SAMURAI ENTHUSIASTS!!! ON BEHALF OF ANTONY CUMMINS I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT HE DOESN'T RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS FOR REPLIES TO HIS REPLIES. HE ONLY RECEIVES NOTIFICATIONS FOR NEW COMMENTS. IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE CHANNEL ANTONY WOULD LIKE YOU TO START BY WATCHING HIS 2020 DOCUMENTARY.
You should probably take the link down... It gave me a great laugh though! Anyone reading this in the future... Just do a Google search for his website instead. XD
@@forestmonk9 Hello there! just a heads up, Antony doesn't receive notifications for replies to his replies so he didn't see your follow up comment. Hope that link got sorted and you found what you are looking for!
“Ninjutsu skills are illegal “ Laughs in American 😂 the idea of the militia is very similar and the skills overlap. This ain’t getting into Native American warfare either. Which is basically hunting other people. But in all seriousness, I think this is why Americans are fascinated to the point of defending frauds of ninjutsu. I think we’re trying to get back to our ancestors skills
+temp911Luke the website is up but i think this document is not there anymore or the link has changed. go to www.natori.co.uk click antony cummins and look through the downnloads
i don't know what to say to this, its pretty simple, many of the claims made by hatsumi and takamatsu, are not shown to be supported by evidence... in my opinion, it appears takamatsu used the words ninjutsu and ninpo as some sort of marketing to draw students...
"Hatsumi had some scroll to backup some lineage, " no such document has ever been produced,... its just a story circulated among the buj to lend the illusion of credibility... bujinkan isn't run like a school, it is run like a business... the more people he can convince, the more money he can extort from ignorant foreigners... the minute he admits his ninja story isn't true, the whole game ends... i cant imagine dead ninja caring if they are named on a scroll, scribed after the fact obviously.

I created my own form of ninjutsu for today!! Some based on the historical and of course modern!! Naked ninjutsu is the foundation!!
You're missing electronic infiltration & hacking for information.

Even Dr Hatsumi can't prove his lineage?
He traces through Toshitsugu Takamatsu, so no, he can't.
Well said!! Cummings!! Love your books!!
In Portugal, Abrantes is possible to train Shinobijutsu. Come on.
i have always found that discovering the true parts of history always is.
i just bought true path of the ninja and the ninpiden. i don't train in ninjutsu, but I will soon. thanks for all the work
Its a great Idea if you have a pocket size book it is much more convenient.
Could you please republish (The Ninpiden - True Ninja Traditions)?!
It is too expensive in the amazon!!
So what style is koto ryu shiden fudo ryu etc if Togakure is supposed to be Ninjitsu ? what are the other schools in the Bujinkan are they JU Jitsu what is been taught

@foreshadow20 its about adapting, so listening in. You just have to adapt to the tech around you. But yes, taht would be a massive part of it.
@SuburbanNinja8000 yes and no, it is not ninjutsu, but martial arts may be ninded when you perform ninjutsu (historically) so yes, just learn to fight.

ninja did assassinate so it seems thats necesserry and also you talk about explosives is this signalling or more hand grenade ( Did watch MMA vs Ninjutsu) anyway thats it so please answer
Thx :D
Before I watch this video I going to say this. If someone wants to be train in ninjujustu, they should find a real true teacher, and not have Dr. Hasami or these other guys train them.

A. Cummings let's see you fight in MMA.
Oh My God. Do you not watch his many videos where he repeatedly says Ninjitsu has NOTHING to do with martial arts?

@Cokecanninja not quite! but good try!
@TSOAS2008 Oh, I guess I did it wrong.
real ninjas dont allow others to know so your all fake
tsoa2008.Answered my E-mail,thanks.An instructor can no longer teach you ninjutsu,Life does!.If you live it,learn from it and survive..
care to enlighten me?
Your website is down.

Ok, thank you.
@Antony Cummins is this Ninjutsu weapons. Ninjato, shuriken, kusarigama, blowgun, black egg(blinding powder), kama, sai, makibishi
i don't know what to say to this, its pretty simple, many of the claims made by hatsumi and takamatsu, are not shown to be supported by evidence...
in my opinion, it appears takamatsu used the words ninjutsu and ninpo as some sort of marketing to draw students...
he can`t
"Hatsumi had some scroll to backup some lineage, "
no such document has ever been produced,...
its just a story circulated among the buj to lend the illusion of credibility...
bujinkan isn't run like a school, it is run like a business...
the more people he can convince, the more money he can extort from ignorant foreigners...
the minute he admits his ninja story isn't true, the whole game ends...
i cant imagine dead ninja caring if they are named on a scroll, scribed after the fact obviously.
