Many thanks Paul for sharing with us.🤝
I always look forward to your new videos!
Thank you brother for sharing these things with us.
Awesome video! Thank for making this. Sensei never fails to invert our thinking!
Happy now !!! Happy to be digging !!! Happy to be able to watch and listen to you Paul !!!
Thank you for you time brother! I’ll keep at it!
Great stuff. Thx for the video.
Thanks, Paul , for sharing. These videos of yours have always some "pearls" that can make all of us rich as persons. I hope one day I can meet you and have a class with you.
Hey Paul !
Great video thanks a lot.
I appreciate that you are exactly the same in videos and in real life. 🔥
U know from my great teachers 4 that went into the next circle. U really appreciate a soke I became aware of grandmaster hatsumi in 1980 I appreciate his wisdom and essence
Thanks for sharing, I needed to hear that today 🙏😁
Hey Paul, I'm glad you are making videos again. You are making good content.
Thank you brother! There’s more to come..
Retuning to zero was a saying on the wall in the dojo what a life hes lived the many lives hes touched long may he live enjoying his time with his beloved pony's.
Thank you Paul Much appreciate you sharing these amazing thoughts to us. Going to Japan in Feb 2024. Hope to see you then.
See you soon!
Hello Paul! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful thoughts and messages, I think Hatsumi Sensei gave us the definitive life lesson, I’m shocked but I really appreciate it
I’m happy you like it!
It is so easy to forget "the power of a smile", or put another way, simply being happy in the moment. Why worry about inevitabilities and things outside of ones control? Just smile and enjoy right here, right now. Many thanks for sharing this!
Smiles are under rated!!!❤
Brilliant 👍 Nice to see you back thought you had stopped doing your English Channel 🙏 Which only reminds us to learn Japanese 😮 Take care. Stay safe 🙏
John and Kate
Thank you very much!
Appreciate you brother!
That is exactly what I would expect from Soke'. In the present waiting for eternity. He's created so much positivity in the world, made so many differences. I am forever grateful.
Forever grateful❤
Spread alot of fraud and bad training too. Lol
Stuff like this is what I miss hearing from Soké, the wisdom, the philosophy, the things that make us stop and question our existence and position in life.
中今 thank you for this, I’ll reflect on it. Looking forward to more 🤙🏽
Thanks Paul !!
I never trained in Bujinkan, I read Sensei Books & in some events in my life They helped me. He Helped me without I know Him .... While some other people That I knew Just Abused me. I owe Sensei, I wish I could see him Or train In Bujinkan.
Sometimes somethings are out of hand in life, You have many problems to solve, Or you should wait for others to decide about something ... You stuck in life & you can't move. If Sensei Die That Would be a very sad Thing.
Very happy to hear his teachings helped you!❤
Great thoughts Paul! 👍🏽🙏🏽💯
Appreciate your kindness!
Thanks for sharing, bro. Best wishes, Fernando
Thank you Fernando!
中今 indeed! Thanks for sharing, Paul!
Thanks Paul for sharing, listening what you sed and what Hatsumi Soke , my feelings of his wards are; I waiting happy...thats something what all peple should leave behaind them, happienes....
Tell your friend to look into new studies on red light therapy for eyes. Game changer.
Hatsumi Sensei has given so much, his purpose here fulfilled. That is so profound,...wow,....strive to be in the moment because this is where we will find happiness. Sir is it true that you used to be a "busking magician"? I ask because you was reffered to me on my first visit Japan 20+ years ago i think.
I was in this cult in the 90's!!! Got a Black Belt...I loved it!!! Maybe Paul Masse will fight in the UFC. He should be a world Champion!!!
Trained in Japan in the late 90s with soke and the shihans and when hatsumi put me in a lock you really felt the precision. Hatsumi must miss his wife and friends and family and the departed.
He's happy and content with how he's lived his life. MAYBE death is just another means to start all over and live even a better life.
I hope to meet him on the other side ❤
Next time you're in Austin. Look us up Paul!
"Modern Togakure-ryu and various historical claims are taught by Masaaki Hatsumi (Takamatsu's successor) and the Bujinkan organization. Criticism regarding the historical accuracy of the Bujinkan's claims of lineage have arisen from several issues of the Bugei Ryūha Daijiten:
The 1978 version of the Bugei Ryūha Daijiten states that Takamatsu's Togakure-ryu "genealogy includes embellishments by referring to data and kuden about persons whose existence is based on written materials and traditions in order to appear older than it actually is."[38]
The 1969 version of the Bugei Ryūha Daijiten states that Takamatsu's Togakure-ryu "is a genealogy newly put together by Takamatsu Toshitsugu, who made use of (took advantage of) the popularity of written materials on ninjutsu after the Taishō era" and that "there are many points where it has added embellishments, it has made people whose real existence is based on written records older than is actually the case, and so it is a product of very considerable labor".[39]
The 1963 version of the Bugei Ryūha Daijiten states of Takamatsu's Togakure-ryu "this genealogy refers to various written records and oral transmissions and there are many points/places where embellishments have been added and people appearing in the genealogy are also made older than they actually are".[40]Modern Togakure-ryu and various historical claims are taught by Masaaki Hatsumi (Takamatsu's successor) and the Bujinkan organization.

So Takamatsu Sensei modified..or made use of..ryuha..from a time in the past...or, for anyone that doesn't understand traditional martial arts....he made a style, or styles...based on battle tested martial arts..that came from his grandfather........and you all still care sooo much..that there is "lineage" discrepancies to it...timelines and "legitimacy" history crap that you still hold onto...yet how far has Karate changed from what it was..to what it is now? Point fighting kumite that has no basis in reality..all on judges decisions.. the bottom line is that the martial arts only survive because they become modified over time. If you can't see the beauty of it...then it isn't for you. Move on and leave it to the ones that appreciate it.
@@chunkymunky_mofo8006 The entire point of training in the Ninjutsu-related Ryuha is that it is supposed to be tied to their time period and their ways. If it is not historical like they claim then why bother investing money in doing it? Furthermore, if they admitted it is not a historical school then it would be fine and wouldn't be a big deal but they claim it is an "unbroken lineage" without providing any proof or evidence. My issue is everyone within the Bujinkan system loves to talk about historical legitimacy until it's time to prove it. Then they hit you with the same excuses that "The history doesn't matter because it's an oral tradition" and "they just want to train". Man, miss me with the bullshit.
@FanboyFreeZone sounds to me like you should go and join Antony Cummings new Samurai school mate....sounds like you already own his books.
@@chunkymunky_mofo8006 I do own his translatons of "REAL" Ninjutsu and I noticed many Bujinkans members have his books in their libraries as well. Besides what does that have to do with the factual information being presented? Come with a better argument instead of attacking the person next time.
@FanboyFreeZone I'm not attacking anyone? You seem very high strung on the whole thing...loved reading your novel..mostly book quotes, that takes a looot of time to write out book stuff, so good work man! 👏
Ain't we all!
the day Masaaki Hatsumi Sensei leaves this world behind, will be a bad day for anyone worthy being called a martial artist
i am happy to wait to, and i am 50. :)
😊 i think he actually just wants to let ya guys know, that ya still goin to have some good moments, and look for the bright side of the whole 😊
"Dr. Friday: These are just 3 out of 9. Problem is that if he is the 34th soke it means logically that there where 33 more sokes before him. If this school were a modern one it means they'd have to switch every almost three years which didn't happen.
That might be persuasive logic if there were any documentation to substantiate Hatsumi's claim to 33 predecessors. But there is none--as I noted earlier, no document for the Togakure-ryu that predates the Meiji period (or rather, none that survived the scrutiny of independent experts). Moreover, the genealogies claimed by Hatsumi (and by his teacher Takamatsu To*****ugu) are highly suspect.
The Katori-Shinto-ryu and the Kashima-Shinryu, two of the oldest classical bugei schools in Japan, are currently in their 20th and 19th generations. The Owari branch of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu is in its 21st. The Jikishin-kageryu is in its 18th. All of these schools date back to the late 15th or mid 16th century, the very dawn of the organized bugei ryuha phenomenon. How is it that the Togakure-ryu has passed through 34 generations. And why has the Kumogakure-ryu passed though only 14?
The Takamatsu-Hatsumi genealogy for the Shinden Fudo-ryu traces things back 25 generations to the mid 11th century, which is at least 400 years earlier than any historian accepts the existence of any bugei ryuha--and at least two centuries before the scale and organization of warfare in Japan would make espionage activity valuable enough for anyone to seriously consider developing methods for carrying it out.
Hatsumi's titles to most of the ryuha he claims to be soke for come from Takamatsu To*****ugu, who in turn claimed to have inherited them from Toda Masamitsu. It's worth noting, in this context, that in the third edition of the Bugei ryuha daijiten Watatani Kiyoshi stated that Takamatsu (who was, BTW, a personal friend of his) had created his "ninpo" ryuha and teachings from "ninja-gokko" ("childhood ninja games")..."
The lineage is suspect but people make.up MA all the time from previous stuff. The Gracies invented a whole system less than a 100 years ago that changed current MA. Same with Ed Parker, Bruce Lee, Ueshiba Morehei, Jigoro Kano, etc. I dont practice Bujinkan but its just as legit as anything else out there
@@bujindork Yeah they made up "systems" not whole lineages and history though. How is it legit if it's fake? make it make sense.
Because no one really cares about lineages outside of Japan. Most people just like the system and and train and go on with their lives. I train bjj and I could care less what line my instructor comes from(although he has traced it). Ive met Bujinkan people that believe Takamatsu made up the whole thing but they like the training so who really cares
@@bujindork Japan is the only place it matters. I have spoken with Bujinkan members who share the same view. I respect their decision although I can't say I share the same sentiment. I'm not training in a system for decades that is fabricated no matter what the system provides. Fake is fake. Lol
@AscendedJus nah I dont agree with that. Majority of Bujinkan practitioners are foreigners. Before the ninja boom Hatsumi had very litttle students. Foreigners is where his business is and they mostly dont have the Japanese hang up of lineage
My elementary Japanese wants me to think of naka ima as Naka = Inside, and ima = now. Is this close? "In the now?"
Sad. I think equally sad is how he broke up the lineages to multiple teachers. For someone who spoke so much about Takamatsu and the transferring of the arts, hatsumi does not seem to have put as much thought I to his succession and that’s unfortunate.
I think Hatsumi did the best thing because he knows that many want to learn the individual Ryu not teaching of 9 schools very randomly over many years. I like gyokko and kuki and I'd like to be proficient in those two arts
初見先生がいなくなる事はないと、私はそう思っています。高松先生がそうであるように、私たちは初見先生を忘れません。死ぬ事は避けらなくても、生きづつける事はできるでしょう。今回の動画で私も考えました。私も日本で武神館の技を日々追求しております。ポール先生ありがとうございました。
まさにおしゃるとおりです！頑張りましょう！！
"Kiyoshi Watatani (editor of the Bugeicyo magazine in 1963), suggested that Masaaki Hatsumi's lineage was not consistent with his claims, and therefore these claims were Hatsumi's notion alone and that he had no proof to back up these claims.[22"
God bless Soke the Phoenix. Very difficult times indeed, stay in the now, let everything flow through you and fill your heart with love joy and happiness. @ Michael, avoid man made blue light from tech devices brother, it breaks the bond between vitamin A and D which breaks down the immune system and artificial light at night causes myopia that leads to blindness. Thoughts and prayers to Hawaii. Stay safe everyone.
