Martial Arts Myths: Ninjutsu, part 3

This is part 3. I go a bit more into the history of the art, specifically how it could have possibly survived into modern times, and what schools are likely to still be legitimately taught.

Part 4 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWAOupEPR5I

you can find part 1 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMqtekE0A8s

you can find part 2 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMNCd13AqYE

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 I’m sure the people associated with it 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.

Some Basic Leg Stretches

Here are a few of the basic leg stretching exercises. You should spend about 15-20 mins stretching each day. I tried to do my video in half the time because of the 10 min time limit. There are more leg stretches I want to cover in future videos and I will post how to stretch all other parts of the body as well. For example, the Neck and Back, The Shoulder, Arms and Wrists, The sides of the ribs, hips and abdomen, and of course all the muscles and joints in the leg. Including thigh, calf, ankle, knee, inner and outer part of the leg, bottom, and lower back or tailbone.

Japanese Jujutsu and Shiatsu / Massage and Martial Arts

Footage from our March 21, 2009 class. Saturday classes typically involve four-plus hours of jujutsu (lots of ukemi) followed by shiatsu, since we learn and practice both disciplines. As a result, we can (usually ;-) fix what gets tweaked on the mat, which is a nice perk.

For those familiar with Hakkoryu / Hakko Denshin Ryu / KoKoDo Jujutsu, the following tachi-waza from shodan-ge are featured in the video: Hakko-Nage (a couple interpretations considered to be kihon), Kubi-Shime-Dori and Ushiro-Zeme-Otoshi (mostly henka from a rear arm choke).

Unlike most of our videos to date, the techniques shown in this video are kihon waza (the formal pre-arranged techniques that make up the system’s syllabus) or pre-determined vs. on-the-fly variations (henka) of the waza.
________________________________________

As with much of the other material we’ve posted and will post to YouTube, this video depicts students achieving training goals with varying degrees of success, vs. simply serving as a “best-of” highlight reel for our school. Our goals in doing so are to properly represent the realities of training in self-defense-oriented martial arts, and help you form reasonable expectations should you one day choose to train with us. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share our passion for jujutsu with you!
