Wasn't there another video from the history channel, I think, where they tested a samurai arrow stopper/catcher? They filmed it with that one medieval expert that shows up a lot on BBC documentaries.
Hey Antony. Some very amazing and entertaining stuff. I just received "Iga and Koka Ninja Skills" 2 days ago. Loving it! Glued to it. Lol I'm going to preorder your new book soon. I have a question is concerning crossbows. Did ninja actually use the crossbow?...or just Sho Kusugi lol. I've read some things about the "Oyumi". Look forward to more videos. Darryl Chafe
My is Tim Anderson. Mentioned Mr. Yamashita's Ninpo Book a Style: Nanban-Ryu Ninjutsu. Nanban Satto-Ryu is a Ninjutsu Fighting Style passed down from Hasshimotto Ipussai to Fujita Seiko. Fujita Seiko passed the Satsu-Ryu Ninja Scrolls down to Kenwa Mabuni and Imanzo Iwatta. The Satsu-Ryu is based of the 5 Elements of NInja Fighting from the Gorinto. Shitō-ryū is a combination style, which attempts to unite the diverse roots of karate. On one hand, Shitō-ryū has the physical strength and long powerful stances of Shuri-te derived styles, such as Shorin-ryū and Shotokan (松涛館); on the other hand, Shitō-ryū also has the circular and eight-directional movements, breathing power, and hard and soft characteristics of Naha-te styles such as Uechi-ryū and Gōjū-ryū (剛柔流). Shitō-ryū is extremely fast, but still can be artistic and powerful. In addition, Shitō-ryū formalizes and emphasizes the five rules of defense, developed by Kenwa Mabuni, and known as Uke no go gensoku (受けの五原則), Uke no go genri (受けの五原理), or Uke no go ho (受けの五法):[8] 落花 (rakka, "falling petals"). The art of blocking with such force and precision as to completely destroy the opponent's attacking motion. Examples of rakka are the most well-known blocks, such as gedan-barai (下段払い) or soto-uke (外受け). 流水 (ryūsui, "running water"). The art of flowing around the attacker's motion, and through it, soft blocking. Examples are nagashi-uke (流し受け) and osae-uke (押さえ受け). 屈伸 (kusshin, "elasticity"). This is the art of bouncing back, storing energy while recoiling from the opponent's attack, changing or lowering stance only to immediately unwind and counterattack. Classic examples are stance transitions zenkutsu (前屈立ち) to kōkutsu (後屈立ち) and moto-dachi (基立ち) to nekoashi-dachi (猫足立ち). 転位 (ten'i, "transposition"). Ten'i is the utilization of all eight directions of movement, most importantly stepping away from the line of attack. 反撃 (hangeki, "counterattack"). A hangeki defense is an attack which at the same time deflects the opponent's attack before it can reach the defender. Examples of this are various kinds of tsuki-uke (突き受け), including yama-tsuki (山突き). When, practing this Nanban Satto-Ryu the Five Element Ninja Fighting Stlye you practice Fighting in with Silent foot steps on Rice Paper. The 5 Elelments are practiced on your 5 Toes. This is a very small section of Shito-Ryu that has a Ninja Fighting System based off of the Five Elements and there are Scrolls owned by, Genzo Iwatta and all of the Scrolls passed from Fujita Seiko to the Shito Masters are known as the Koka Flow. I have an Ancient Document that talks about how the Gorinto Five Elements were used in the NInja way for as well as Women to Seduce Men by wearing Five Element of Make up and the Seasons. As well in Fujita Seikos Tora No Maki it makes the Requriment of the Godai No Heiho use of the 5 Elements can be used in Fighting and in Stealth. I also, previously own if not the last Copy of the Book Nanban Satto-Ryu Jujtsu by, Ippusai Hashimoto. The Book Mentions he was a Spy and an Assassin and was a Soldier during the Boshin War and was captured during the War and sent to Prison wear he exscaped and became a hired Assassin and Killed an attacker with a Shuto a Sword Hand. I have a rare Magazine Article that was Published in 2013 where the Ninja Scrolls known as the Koka Flow were passed down to the present day to Genzo Iwatta and there are photos of them and Fujita Seiko. I started Shito-Ryu in 1984. I have studied Ninjutsu extensively and focus my training arounf the 5 Elements of Ninjutsu and I also, train in the Toyama Batto-Jutsu that was that with Nanban Killing Southern Barbarian Style was taught to the Nakano Shadow Warriors. In 1936 Mr. Fujita founded the Kobudo Research Society. Okinawan Kobudo in Okinawa did not practice the skill of using twho farm toools as weapons only one. Such as one Jitte or One Sai not Two. Mr, Seiko changed that according to Koga-Ryu Weapons and tools were used by Two Hands. So, the Manji Sai was also, from the Manji Symbol of a Koga Samurai Caln known as the Manji Clan. Mr. Seiko gave a Menkyo Kaiden to Motokatsu Inoue. There were no 2 Handed Weapons Kata in Okinawa so, with the Koga influence of using two weapons instead of one were implementented by Inoue,Sensei and he learned of Shotokan from Gichin Funakoshi and added Two Handed Weapons Kata from Shotokan-Ryu. I have a Rare Book from Japan called Koga-Ryu Combat Ninjutsu. In the Book it speaks of that there were Ninja Clans that did indeed have a their own Ninja Fighting Styles. It goes on to say because, of the influx of Guns coming in from Spain this would hurt many Ninja Clan Families that had their own Ninja Fighting Hand to Hand Combat Systems. Infact, it mentions the names of a few of those Ninja Clans who practiced Red Hands in the Ancient Shrine Temples of Japan Secretly.
Out of curiosity... and I truly mean that, not to be a troll, what would the practical application of a "glowing sword" be? Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'd think that it would akin to carrying a big red chouchin with the kanji for "Ninja" on it, as one approaches their objective. Like I said, if I come off like a dick, that's not my intention, I'm just genuinely curious.
@@AzraelCaptain Ohhh man, this is an old comment. Shortly after that, I actually did it and yea, I could see how brushing the oil onto the sword gives a bronze or golden hue or appearance. Where in a world without light (As we know it) or things like TV, internet, etc, pulling it out gives the appearance of you having a molten metal sword. Especially if caught in moonlight or fire. Like "What sorcery is this???" Whereas in the manual, it reads that it removes your opponent's fighting spirit, though truthfully, I think the prospect of fighting a wizard is demoralizing as all hell.
my friend i just went through three of your videos but you haven't talked about ninjitsu / fake ninjitsu in any of those. Don't know if it's bad luck / coincidence on my part. Also, in this video you got to the ninja part at the 5:12 mark. I suggest you take speaking lessons.
Glowing swords and Fukushima.... hmmmm.... gonna need a geiger counter!
your humor is so dark that ninjas use it to hide in it IN FULL BLACK CLOTHES
For the breathing apparatus, you shouldn't need to contact a swimmer. You need a scuba diver or technical diver who customizes gear.
Wasn't there another video from the history channel, I think, where they tested a samurai arrow stopper/catcher? They filmed it with that one medieval expert that shows up a lot on BBC documentaries.
That was a Horo arrow cape. Same result different idea. His name is Mike Loades.
Antony Cummins That's why I couldn't check if I had the name right. I typed in Micheal loads. I was sort of close.
I like how you poke fun at your the opposition. It's done in a friendly tone. I think that this is what has gotten the ball rolling for you.
The entire spells thing totally interests me!
have you researched nine schools of Bujinkan, like gyokko ryu, kotto ryu and others?
It would be interesting to see you debate with Kacem Zoughari. I wonder why there hasn't been a talk about his books?
I am really excited!

Have you done a video on Majutsu and Saiminjutsu?
Does it give the details of how you go about making this Demon pills?

Anthony Sforza The glowing sword one is strange. I am not really sure. It is just there :(
Antony Cummins
Hey, thanks man. Jaja, I know we didn't get to the bottom of it, though your response was appreciated, nonetheless.
Could be to scare away an opponent, glowing fire sword would make me turn away in those days lol
A glowing sword makes you look supernatural. To a superstitious people, the theatrics involved could be a mental destroyer.

Fukushima almost sounds like I was swearing to me, my bad.
Time for a ninja heist movie
