[Aztech355]

I wish I could go. : (

[alangname]

ill hire these guys to assasinate my boss!

[bio2020]

lol this is all bullshit. some people in japan just use pop culture fame of "Ninja" to turn it into a business.

this is basically Ninja Disney World

[BuffonSarutobi]

@bio2020

Though much cheaper than Disney.

[chri1236]

@bio2020 you are the piece of bullshit because if you ever search up ninja in wikipedia you will see that it said that they originated near the iga region

[darkbryan7]

Fantastic!!!!

Manuel From Rome, Italy.

忍者がいた　侍もいた　素晴らしき英霊も。なのになんで今はこんなんなっちゃつただろう­? 誰かか民主党をやっちまって!!!

[theadrianmander]

its cool how he showed the sword cn be used for climbing

[forlornblade382]

what r they saying

[zero123045607890]

これおもしろかったわ

[lugiametagross162]

ninja's are cool!

[Annihilation1919]

Just to back it up ...

The Ninjato is the most common name for the Japanese sword that the ninja were thought to have carried. It is often depicted as being a short sword, often portrayed as having a straight blade with a square tsuba. There is no historical evidence of the 'ninjato', and modern depictions of the sword originate from portrayals that were seen in early Hollywood movies.[1] Actual period ninjas used a variety of other weapons.

[Annihilation1919]

In this video he shows the use of the Ninjato and by what i can gather of information there is no proof that ninja's used this weapon so the history behind this demo is flawed

[k62626262]

かっこええ

[kaikoraninja360]

Ninjas = awesome :)

[Aelkamal]

that's what i call cutting the crap !!! in this sense it's bamboo...

[zexeru]

i was here last week and they are good !

and they are funny too !

in japan were many ninja clans not only bujinkan or genbukan ...

[NightUlf]

@zexeru Glad you had a good time there. Definately worth going to see.

[yeastori]

stab him in the ass lol

[zenaku85]

@yeastori yeah didn't know ninjas was so perverted

[hayategumo]

I love ninja weapons. This is really entertainment. I wish to be there to watch all this events.

[dugiri]

hahaha nice!!!!

very funy and great tecniques

[cungbanvutang]

I wish I was there!

[IdiotReview]

hey dickheads stop having a serious discussion on a kids entertainment clip lol

[jiahan22]

@IdiotReview wat u mean by kids entertament clip ?? this is a tradition^^

[Nhia89]

this is soooo freaking sweet

[Darkmessenger1000]

is it not possible that both is true?

Ninjas could have been samurai & they could also have been farmers. it does not take a genius to want to choose stealth over out in the open battle as a safer alternative why do you people think every continent had there own kind of assassins. If you can kill without being seen it seems the smart thing to do....Though the rush would not be the same....i guess the end result is still the same.

[FarseerOfPouiln]

Awesome twirly weapons!

[smokincrow007]

i love the you-tube experts... im shure u'all are way WAY more into ninjas than this silly guy here in the video...

[Yoshimitsu18]

How is this guy silly in this video, he actually knows what he's doing.

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

totally! who said he was?

it's extremely cool they demonstrate how something could be used as both a weapon and a tool for infiltration =D

I practice in Taijutsu. my sensei has the craziest selection of hidden weapons O_o haha

[smokincrow007]

i got an idea let the ninjas tell it how it is because if you arent a ninja how the hell would you know? wasnt the whole angle to operate in stealth? if i stole stuff killed people i don't think id go around advertizing my weapon of choice...

[smokincrow007]

oh i forget the "&" stole stuff & killed people

[NightUlf]

I like your comments.

So true!  =D

[OkamiNinja7]

Um, you do know that there are still books written by ninja and ninjutsu grandmasters that exist, right? And all of them support the idea of shinobi being samurai in Iga and Koga? But of course, you do know more about shinobi than anyone, so you must've known this.

[zyotora]

忍者刀もかっこいいと思うな。

The straight blades is also good-looking soon.

[Musicmancol]

LOL Ninja never used straight blades, what a load of crap. Ninjas used the same blades as Samurai. Except when they made certain weapons and Shurikens never killed people LOL, Shurikens were used to throw in the face of people and then stick a sword in them, of course if they had poison tips maybe die in a few days etc ;) Ninja performance is for the visitors, History is what people need to read!

[yagamahui]

Wrong, the ninja were outlaws, they usually couldn't afford a sword like the samurai and didn't have the materials to make one, but if they managed to kill a samurai they would take his sword.

[OkamiNinja7]

You say that they didn't, why is it that historical books written by ACTUAL NINJA like the Bansenshukai and Shoninki state that shinobi are samurai from Iga and Koga with the skills of spying? And why would a ninja use a sword in a time where curved swords were the style and that straight swords would make you stand out? Explain that, you must be a historian.

[THEPIELORD42]

your confused let me straightin you out samurai means to serve an ninja serve the people who imploy them there not samurai in the way your thinking there ninja who serve there lords like a secret police in a sense an they werent only spys they were mercenaries ronin + spys they really served whoever paid them the most they were not restricted by honor like the samurai ur thinking of there mentality was do whatev you need to do to carry out your mission

[OkamiNinja7]

Bushido wasn't a written code til 30 yrs. AFTER samurai died out. Back during the Sengoku jiai, samurai did dishonorable tactics as well. (Ex: Akechi Mitsuhide's betrayal) Anyways, if you read any ninjutsu document such as the Ninpiden or Bansenshukai, it's written that ninja of Iga and Koga were bushi. What does bushi mean? Bushi is a term to refer to a warrior of the samurai class. Don't confuse history from popular culture.

[THEPIELORD42]

im not samurai didnt use the same tactics ninja did they didnt crush glass an fill it into an egg an dye it black to throw in samurai eyes NINJA WERE NEVER SAMURAI unless under cover an more importantly samurai didnt use ninja tactics cause they thought it would lower themselves fagot

[OkamiNinja7]

1. It's "faggot", and faggot means a pile of twigs and leaves, great comeback, I'm insulted. (Not.)

2. Give me any source that says that shinobi were never samurai. Bansenshukai and Ninpiden say they were, and those are 2 documents written for the descendants of ninja by actual ninja.

[ExaltedLegend]

Obviously you have never seen a shinobi-gatana (Ninjato) before... it is a straight blade, and was cheaply made and used to thrust and stab, unlike the katana's nature of slashing. And shuriken were used for defensive purposes for a quick escape, or they were used from the shadows to make the victim think they were attacked by an invisible foe, it worked quite well to cause psychological damage and fear. Also the ninja were often farmers who felt they needed to rebel against the samurai.

[jcb878]

the straight blade ninjato never existed in history and ninja werent farmers they were samurai who developed a special set of skills because of the region they lived in

[ExaltedLegend]

Yes, some samurai went ronin and became ninja, but the first ninja were rebels. Farmers who rose up against the ones in power. And don't try telling me a ninjato didn't exist you fool.

[jcb878]

i said the straight bladed ninjato never existed in history you idiot

[THEPIELORD42]

yes they did you fagot the ninjato was a short sword so u wouldnt stand out with it cause you could disguise it as something else or you could carry it under your clothes bitch

[OkamiNinja7]

There is no specific ninjato, idiot, a ninjato is any sword used by a ninja.

[THEPIELORD42]

a ninjato is any sword MODIFIED from the katana to give them a edge in sword fight by the ninja i said they used short swords because it was a common sword used by them because they put the shortened sword into a average sized shealth so it was faster then a samurais on the draw

[OkamiNinja7]

That, for the most part, is correct. But any sword used by a ninja is technically a "ninjato", whether it be the wakizashi fitted into katana koshirae or just a katana itself.

[senxo]

Ya multiple strikes to the groin from a weapon that never existed historically and the cheesy sound effect show that this is more for entertainment than an actual history lesson. I mean seriously who wants truth right?

[ninjaboy552]

wait. the sword he's holding at 00:41 looks like mine, just shorter.  can someone tell me what it is? cuz it looks different from traditional katana

[NightUlf]

This is the ninja's sword called 'Ninja-to'.

Straighter and shorter than the traditional Katana.

[ninjaboy552]

is the sheath pointed for jabbing?

[NightUlf]

Yeah they can use it for that, and many other applications. (Some are demonstrated.)

[CobraVerde601]

at 1:14 he demonstrates that it was pointed so that you could drive it into the ground/dirt and use it as a step ladder (as well as other uses)

[DoomscytheHarvester]

Correction. Ninjato did not exist, historically.

It is actually a Shinobigatana. :)

Just mentioning that,

[CobraVerde601]

He does call it a ninjato at 1:00...so yeah...

[DoomscytheHarvester]

Respectfully, he is wrong.

Ninjato is a fictional weapon, however, Shinobigatana did exist.

Now, there may have been Ninjato that has curved blades, but a straight bladed 'Ninjato' as shown in this video is fictional.

[Yoshimitsu18]

Why would they lie to the visitors and give them false information about the Ninja?

[DoomscytheHarvester]

It is not so much lying as much as alot of people don't know as much about ninjutsu...

However, lately, more things proving that a straght bladed Ninjato existed have been surfacing. :)

[Yamatoikiski]

ya but in modern times we call it ninjato because they make it different than what it was 400 years ago so it is not a shinobigatana anymore

they upgraded it since then

[Yamatoikiski]

yes it is but the handle is quite longer as well

[johndi123]

i thought it was called chokuto xD

[Crim15]

I don't get a lot of what they're saying..

[Sazuko]

Whoa this is cool xD I gotta go next time I'm I'm in Japan~

[NightUlf]

Yeah it was great to watch, and they have a lot more to see there. They got a museum and a tour of a ninja house. Well worth visiting next time your in Japan.

[ASSUSAASS]

can you tell me at what city or village this show had been.......

[NightUlf]

If you check the 'Statistics' tab, you will find a google map. I have pinned the location.

Hope that helps. : )

[GuardianArt]

hahahahahahahahahaha

[ideiao]

忍者刀は刺す為ならば何故試し切りするのう？？？

[NightUlf]

It is to demonstrate to the audience how sharp and deadly the sword can be.

Not everyone who goes is an expert. ; )

[ideiao]

ご丁寧にありがとうございます！馬鹿な質問をしてすみませんでし­た。

[NightUlf]

日本語でコメントを併記するつもりが、忘れていました。ごめんな­さい。

日本語でもう１度コメントします。

観客は刀の専門家ではないので、どれだけ刀が鋭利で切れるかとい­うことを観客の皆さんに見せるため、試し切りをしているのです。­

[ideiao]

I can understand both,but thanks! I'm planing to take my kid to see the Ninja demontratitions!See you .

Best regards

[Sunseal19]

thanx 4 sharing!!

[fuyuame151]

who do you think is better iga or koga?

[NightUlf]

Now that is the question!

As for a place to visit, I would go for Iga.

As to which clan is better, difficult. Maybe Koga? ; p

[redstop1988]

a lot of big names who r ninjas were from Iga during the shogun times..lol..

i think Iga is better.

[goblinboy77]

one of the best ninja demo vids on youtube ever

[NightUlf]

Thank you very much. : )

[WerdnaFaz]

lol

[ichibudo]

The Iga rock hands down.  Also cool that they used a piece of music from the movie Azumi during the shuriken demo. IGA NINPOUCHOU ICHIBAN!!!

[NightUlf]

Didn't notice that piece of music, not bad pair of films either. They use interesting music accompaniment.

[shinobiteacher1]

Seen better. Bamboo don't fight back

[NightUlf]

I expect you have seen better, so have I.

Bamboo don't fight back, but I would not want to see a person cut up either.

[scy4927]

wow japanese culture realy interesting.

[NightUlf]

Yeah that is for sure. The more you dig the more interesting it becomes.

[Military49]

Japanese invented lots of interesting ways to kill a person, which also look very spectacular

[anirudhkrishnamani]

is there anybody who teaches authentic ninjutsu in india??

[NightUlf]

Sorry I don't know, maybe someone else may be able to help.

All I can suggest is search on line, find clubs, see if they have any instructors close to you. You could ask around your local youth clubs. Also look in Martial Arts magazine at clubs advertised in there and ask them.

[ComputerH4ck3R]

no you will have to go to the us or japan if that is not an option for you, you can learn online. you need to be 18 to do ninjitsu.

[allgoo19]

Some of it were dramatized for entertainment purpose but most of others were credible. No screaming in ninja techniques unlike kendo. They did it in total silence, that was the only way one person could complete his mission behind the enemy territory line.

[koga9376]

cool

[NightUlf]

Thanks

[abbesknetter]

very well done:P

[nicky666]

What's difference of Koga and Iga?? Someone Answer this question please

[NightUlf]

Both are ninja clans from different neighbouring regions.

I visited the Koga's on my previous trip, and I personally preferred the Iga's.

Both are interesting.

Related interest - film 'Shinobi'

[troanova]

what about the fuma clan

[NightUlf]

Ah, the love of the fox spirit!

[troanova]

fox spirit plese go on

[NightUlf]

You know the one, where he is training in the ninja village!

[SeijiiNakamaru]

As night said, its just two different places. Although they had influence on each other, their ways were very different.

[troanova]

japanese history is alwas fun ^_^

[SeijiiNakamaru]

yep

also, there are many ninja clans, but the koga and iga are just the main two.

[NightUlf]

There is a lot to learn, and it is very interesting.

[SeijiiNakamaru]

I'm gonna spend my life on that exactly, haha.

[NightUlf]

I expect I will be on the same road :D

[AoEHere]

007? lol

funny and nice video!

[NightUlf]

Unfortunately I am still learning Japanese so I could not understand a lot of what was said, but you didn't really need to. Yes it was funny. But I could not record all of it as my tape was running out, and forgot to bring a spare along. Well worth visiting, and I want to go again. Glad you liked it. : )
