Sho Kosugi Ninja Theater 01

[singularku]

it seems its not a very good option against long sword like katana

[GinXYZ]

@Darthvader710 I do hope you're just kidding here because that is utter nonsense. By his own admission, he learned ninjutsu from a neighbor when he was in his teens...a neighbor that mysteriously disappeared one day. No one has ever heard of this person and he does NOT possess any certifications from any institutes that teach ninjutsu. Sorry to burst your bubble. If you want some authentic ninjutsu, look into the Bujinkan.

[meowmein]

i have been looking for an old film that was on ninja theatre that had a girl wearing metal shoes and when she'd take them off she could fly, i don't know the name of it maybe you could help

[Cubanito884]

this is hilarious! RETSU!!

[Jackhoofrost]

Gayest ninja fight ever)) His opponents aint even worthy of being cut or stabbed they just die from fatal secret ninja energy that his blades radiate.lol

[derrichtigerichter]

@midimaster NO HE DID! sho kosugi NEVER did real ninjutsu, he is a karate/kobudo guy! he said he learned ninjutsu but nowbody seen ever ninjutsu movements, when he fight is karate when he use weapons he use it like in kobudo!

and he know nothing about the traditional weapons! for example see here, he use jutte like sai, never used jutte like he show here and used 1 jutte and not 2 like a sai! and never gave ninja swords like he use! when he were serious he would did that. but for movie ok.

[fardisghomeshi]

@fardisghomeshi i am very certain that he only knows karate.the last combat ninja passed away in the 80s.he is a great actor and was my fav when i was a tenager.have fun and good luck.

[PakDaeHan]

all stage fighting and not really sword cutting

[realkef]

@midimaster lol why you copyin stuff of wikipedia

[electrodubz]

@realkef : Probably to explain who Sho Kosugi is, since Wikipedia is a valid source for facts on people and things.

[joeyang1976]

Those weapons make really cool letter openers too. With two, you can open your mail twice as quickly!

[jessiepricklebush]

this is a pile of shit

[wolfq]

do you have any more?

[takechan21]

This weapon was used by Japanese old sheriff.

[theboss9190]

thats the guy from the return of the dragon.

[fandelord]

nnnoooooooooooooo soke hatsumi is da man

[notendo1]

throw some more up yo! I used to eat this shit for breakfast!

[DrewXXX1]

wow Sho Kosugi's footage woudl have been more taken seriously had not for the awful sFx sounds clearly made in studio !

[ScandyTangerineMan]

Nice! I uploaded an intro (from Ninja Terminator), the featured weapon being the tonfa.

Kosugi IS '80s martial arts.

[msjinx2000]

You know what, 80's martial arts were the best. I can't fathom anything like the old Shaw Brothers actors happening today. There is no good martial arts anymore, I will take ti lung, Lo ming, Lu Feng and the others any day LOL.

[hanaman1]

jutte has some super coon technique. those shown in this video are kinda cinematic, and very different from the original ones. first of all a real jutte is just a black iron with a small sai like extension and it is mostly used to capture the opponent's sword. in this video hi's using them to stab, a move i'v never seen. also i'v never seen someone using 2 jutte, and i find it very bizarre.

[shinobizuken]

Sho kosugi is da man!

[Devilbat]

his sons are cool too

[squall600]

wheres the rest of sho kosugi's demonstrations

[katsumiizumi]

ok to everyone who saw my previous comment i did not write it someone is hacking my account

[Akaoushi]

Really how do you figure?

[Akaoushi]

You forgot his Daughter Aisha, I think that how it's spelled. :)

[AreYouWetYet]

Yeek Foi, WHich means 'Hello' in Japanese.

LOLOL...me and my cousin used to rent these tapes and dub our own words over this part and the movies that follow...

Hilarious films like;

Young Hero, LOLOL, and

Invisible Obsessed Fighter

[serria12]

[regondi]

This is horrible. The fighting sequences are so poorly executed. I can't believe i used to find this crap cool.

[nycusa11]

SHO KOSUGI i went crazy over him when i was a teenager i hunted for all his movies and i saw pray for death in the movies i only liked him he was the real ninja his son kane plays in movies now.

[midimaster]
