Martial Arts Myths: Ninjutsu, part 1
Finally, at long last, I’m able to put this up. And it’s a doozy people… 40 minutes of me flapping my gums about Ninjutsu, and all the BS in it. And trust me, there’s a whole lot of it. That’s why it took me 40 minutes.
Of course, they’re all broken up into 4 parts. You can set aside some time for yourself, and watch all 4 at once, or you can just take your time and watch each part at your leisure. I’m not picky.
I’m pretty sure that because of these videos, all types of ninja wannabe kooks are gonna-come-a-knocking, all posting about how much I don’t know, or how they’re going to beat me up, or whatever. Please. No amount of grandstanding, fact dodging, or name calling will change things. The fact is, this information is out there for anyone to look up. And a lot of it doesn’t look good for you guys (fanatical wannabe Ninjas). You can act like idiots about it, or you can just accept things and move on. Of course, if there is something I’m genuinely wrong about, please let me know. Of course, I will look it up to make sure it’s correct, so no trying to BS me please… it’ll just be a waste of time.
Oh, and just to get this out of the way: I’m not saying there aren’t some legitimate Ninjutsu schools out there, nor are there not credible teachers. I’m well aware of the Bujinkan, and some of the people associated with it, and I’m sure they can fight well. But amidst this one jewel, there’s a whole sea of mud. And the few jewels there aren’t as bright as you might think.
Anyways, enjoy guys. I certainly hope you guys DO enjoy it, after all the crap I had to go through just to get it done.
Oh, by the way… I have to thank the Bullshido.com website and forums for all their great work and information, without which this wouldn’t have been done. I did know a lot of this stuff already, but since I lost most of my old martial arts library, I’d have to do this from memory, and that’s an easy way to mess facts up. Bullshido.com had a lot of the info I needed in one place. Thanks guys.

Every martial Art …
Every martial Art gets criticism, from Wing chun, Taekwondo, Aikido, Krav maga, BJJ…..Truth is they ALL have flaws……too many high kicks, too much floor fighting, not enough spirituality, chi energy nonsense ect………just know how to punch fast and run fast!

I trained and …
I trained and taught ninjutsu for a long time.while there are some good practical techniques there really is a lot of B.S the techniques present a lot of flaws.Also very spotty history, some of the ryu dont even exist! Lets be really honest with ourselves,if all you ever practice is 1/2 speed YOU ARE NOT READY FOR REAL COMBAT!I challenge any member of the bujinkan to take a BJJ or muay thai class, you wont last, the warm up alone is going to kill you! some parts of the system are great,mostlyBS

you cant disprove …
you cant disprove thing he has said can you?
how can he be ignorant when he actually STUDIES this stuff ??
ignorant basically means lacking knowledge. SS is clearly not lacking in knowledge…
but as i have said before… if you got some disproof i would LOVE to see it.
no way to counter it so you result to a simple ad hominem… get real pick up a book and lose YOUR IGNORANCE!

I feel your point man. all those who say you are full of shit.
Nice tunes btw.
Creationsofmyown
when you cant …
when you cant attack the opponent’s argument and instead have to attack the opponent. you have already lost….
if you can counter anything SS says in this, or any other vid, call him on it… i think its more likely that you are aware that your lack of knowledge on the subject leaves you ill equipped to make any argument at all… not to mention ur #1 subscription is ChosonNinja, a documented fraud, liar, thief, and con-man.
get a clue… and make sure that you bring some facts next time

can you cite a source for this? i would like to verify it. thanks a bunch

i’d like to point out that i said they “began” that way. how/what they ended up becoming may be different, but there origin was from peasants

This might not be …
This might not be helpfull
but allot of these myths came from what people “saw”
just like how magicians do “magic” it’s not real you just can’t see whats going on in the back stage

Actually, I’m not …
Actually, I’m not wrong. What you’re talking about is a small subset of peasants who didn’t put up with the crap that shogun and samurai were inflicting on them, but for the most part, they worked for shoguns. Further proof of this is the fact that samurai arts were intermingled in with Shinobi arts, and so called famous Shinobi were actual samurai: Hatori Hanzo ring a bell? I do agree with your sentiment about the government though… it IS supposed to fear the people.
isizaisasexymoma
you’re both wrong. …
you’re both wrong. Ninja’s began as a means of retaliation against the lords holding their lands, ppl were tired of having to let their wives get by some other dude (their lord). this was originally a means to ‘take the power back’ and make the government fear the people, not the people fear the government *WHICH BY THE WAY IS HOW THINGS ARE TODAY YOU PUSSSY AMERICANS. BUT ILL KILL SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND MAKE THEM REMEMBER HOW THINGS NEED TO BE* remember isiza
isizaisasexymoma
hey guy, the thing …
hey guy, the thing you left out is that being a ninja was a job back then. being a master of karate is not a job.
isizaisasexymoma
and another thing, …
and another thing, ninja’s dont really have many H2H moves. their close quarters combat is designed to kill as quickly and efficiently as possible. its not some big sword swingin shindig, its cold/calculated murder. And for those of you who couldn’t kill someone, quit calling yourself a ninja you stupid shmuck.
isizaisasexymoma
so all i got from …
so all i got from this guy was that theres a difference between being a ninja and practicing ninjitsu. and btw you’re dumb. navy seals are still around. and another thing you’re wrong about is that yes, Tokyo does have a special ops team. and while they changed from the uniform of cloth that ninja’s wore, they’re capable of the same things (if not more) as well as the same tactics.

I wouldn’t use ninjutsu’s H2H moves, but maybe the other skills they have are useful. I wonder how I can learn to sneak around…for legitimate reasons of course.

I’ve seen him on YouTube. All I will say is that he does have some martial arts skills, this is true. But there is a lot of fabrication going along with him. That’s all I’ll say: I’ve seen the stuff going on around him and about him, and I really have no desire to join the fray or enter a flame war.
Swordsage
True, but if those …
True, but if those guys were just learning the hand to hand skills of the seals, without going through boot camp, weapons skills, navy training, working for the government, etc, would you call them Navy Seals?
It’s simple logic that I’m using here. The only people who would disagree are those who want to live in fantasy and jump around trees and bushes at night in their backyard thinking they are something they’re not.
