Evasion and Shifts

[1960jjd]

can you attack while doing evasions and shifts?

[ShinobiMystic]

yes you can. These put you in great places to counter attack.

[chazbriggs]

what follow up srikes would you recommend after the chinese shift

[ShinobiMystic]

a back fist.

[chazbriggs]

thanks the knee strike might take too much time

[ShinobiMystic]

and knee strike.

[chazbriggs]

thanks you gave me some great ideas with the chinese shfit

[Fupper16]

nerd

[KagenohachiKarasu]

@Fupper16...

So your saying the Shinobi out training is a nerd, and you, the one on the computer looking up ninja is not? :P

Funny! you should try making jokes that dont insult your self though... XD

[ge1983]

Oh my God! You just dodged all of my attacks. Congratulatios!

[molezay]

u stii have couples of years still to improve man but tanx for sharing

[ShinobiMystic]

yes I do need to improve, thanks for watching.

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes if you feel that way about kendo try kenjutsu, you stay bladed the whole time, for less contact surface area. These do work well with a blade, I have a video titled Taisavaki-jutsu Art of Avoidance Evasion & Shifts Kicks & Sword. Check it out friend.

[uchiha5555]

this is really helpful! Where did you get the gloves?

[ShinobiMystic]

They are SUG gloves, I got at wallmart.

[uchiha5555]

SUG? i hope they sell em in england (no wallmart there) :(

[Paullugg]

I hope people will take note of this video.

[Paullugg]

Hello mike, I hope you don't mind. I have posted a response video to add to your video.

[ShinobiMystic]

no way, that is so great. Thanks paul, I can't wait to get to a new level in my training.

[rvking2005]

I have been training off and on in a real Kouka ryu school here in ohio.Listen the katas and stuff are important but really the final break down is what is the end goal ninjas would train hard to keep in shape but... when they made moves i..e.. (hits) they would train harder for spacific tasks like wall running more lower movement for stealth but it was the end result that mattered cuz if you know what your going to do then u know how to train for it. bestthingisimaginwhatyouwant then train4 it

[rvking2005]

Shinobi has a leg up on the rest of these ppl on the net. He understands that constructive critizeim is for helping on his journey in Budo. He is on the right path.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thank you friend. Yes this website is my greatest training tool and link to other like minded individuals. I have a few remix to this video.

[rvking2005]

that is a Chinese move. one very impractical for ninjitsu because your heel acts as a pick in the ground with a strained leg like that involves it will plant your leg and foot making it easy to stop the ankle braking it and the bridge of your foot. knee trick you leg then disconnecting your leg from your hip. Vwala crippled for life. this move is impractical only for a rushing opponent, but if they are fast enough the a Thia kick can shatter the whole thing. this move is not a ninjitsu move.

[rvking2005]

nothing should be planted and sticking out like that when doing that. thats a chinese move even bujinkhan dont do that. While you have your leg straitend and knee with your ankle. the only way this is effective is when someone is rushing you, but still then a Thia kick to that planted leg would surely break the knee and if stomped properly the ankle and bridge of you foot. More wise move would be to go shin to shin knee trick and push the chin up and as there falling wrap your leg around-----

[ShinobiMystic]

thanks that is the kind of info I needed. I will work more diligently with my evasions and shifts.

[rvking2005]

i can see your leg broken into atleast 4 places doing that against someone who knows what their doing.

[ShinobiMystic]

which leg and when?

[DesuAnonDesu]

Great video, man!

I have a tip for you: I would recommend moving the back leg to the side as well when doing the diagonal shift, so that you're more turned to the opponent, as this helps in protecting the groin.

And again, great video!

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes I have been finding that, the rear leg does kind of lag behind we do need to more it more. Thanks for the tip.

[jerclan]

if you can master these shifts then they will be very useful in a fight but you need to be quick as i have learned from sparring with an opponent.

[ShinobiMystic]

yes you do. And you can't think about it either just do it.

[DanTheGuitarMan94]

hey i'm just wondering i'm also a marshal artist in ninjistu. where can you get some weapons? a magazine, a web site, what?

[ShinobiMystic]

Make some, they will be the best ones. I buy alot of stuff in person so I can see them. But there are some online stores like tigerstike dot kom some of the larger suppliers is century martail arts.

Thanks for watching.

[justdfactsmaam]

So...how much DO clothes cost in the Matrix?

[ShinobiMystic]

It is a digital reflection of my self so it costs nothing.

Thanks for watching.

[Thiefcopy]

good video, but it seems like these aren't useful in a real fight. Like whenever I see people demonstrating, it is always quite a slow punch or kick, and the person is ready for it, when you know exactly what someone is doing you don't need anything fancy. So how exactly do these stances help, or moreso, apply to real life fights?

[ShinobiMystic]

Try to watch the remix to this video and let me know what you think. I will have to do some free sparring using these techniques in the future, many people have asked what you have friend.

I will show you in the future. thanks for watching.

[Th3Unf0rg1v3n95]

in my karate school whenever we train self defense and stuff like that everyone usually goes not full speed. but i usually work with my brother so we go full speed because we actually want to get something out of it. all of these "shifts" require way too much movement and if someone came up to you and threw a full force punch those would never work. the best "shift" is pivot your hips as fast as possible and your leg will follow. i am thinking about making my own channel and videos.

[ShinobiMystic]

I know I am showing the shifts slowly here. And yes do you not see the movement for evasions is in the hips moving. I understand, I have made a remix since then watch that and let me know what you think.

[Zeeleeuwlul]

i used to do jujitsu and but got bored with it because it wasn't a challenge. now im looking for a other combat sport but i dont know witch one is good. could you gief some hints or pointers about diffrent types?. i would like it to be defesive and a intensive sport.

[ShinobiMystic]

I don't know much about sport martial arts, I think that tae kwon do is very intense sport, and there are many kicks that can be countered and blocked. However I don't know about defensive. Do you mean defensive like Aikido, where your intercept the attackers force to subdue them? Go to the local library and look at the books on martial arts, you will be suppirsed what you find. There are far too many kinds of martial arts to list here friend.

[callajjjj]

Nice video man!

But isent it hard to evade or shift while in a real fight like that?

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes it is a bit hard, thats why you use strikes to stop the opponent while you shift and evade.

[josepy021987]

wait until you get into the wind element.

[ShinobiMystic]

yes I can't wait, wind is very special and I think it is great for these kind of movements thanks for watching friend.

[killarmy101]

ic thanx for sending that vid i juss thought u might have the same reason for ur training as me but u dont not that urs is bad or anything juss wanted to know

[ShinobiMystic]

No problem thanks for watching. I wonder what are your reasons or goals friend?

[killarmy101]

you would think im crazy lol

[ShinobiMystic]

oh!

[bostonangelgforce]

hey when you think about it ancient scrolls were past down wich described techniques, arrow making, even astrology. The student studying the scrolls would practice the technique until he has mastered it. POINT: It is possible to learn from books and videos.

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes I agree, I also think it depends on the person and their amount of dedication, determination, and focus.

[saphira123177]

Ur so cool! your really good at this! :)

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching friend.

[tony2113041987]

Shinobi Mystic. A good tutorial video. How did you discover these techniques?

[ShinobiMystic]

These are in many martial arts like Kempo, and I learned the horse shift from my TKD training. And the Chinese shift from a kung fu book.

[killarmy101]

hey man do u train your self?

[ShinobiMystic]

well I have a video about myself and my goals if you care to watch. But yes I do train myself mostly but I do have a black belt however I have been getting formal training recently. Thanks for watching.

[killarmy101]

yo man u wanna send me that video about ur goals and such and ill check it out

[KiropGR]

you really are a masterful character in the secret arts of the shinobi warriors brother.although im big and powerful i dont have what it takes to beat those who posess martial arts knowledge.but now i come to know what it takes to reach the maximum of my power.thanks brother.

[ShinobiMystic]

I am not a master, but a student and I am humble enough to share what little I do know. I thank you for your kind words, I advise that you search for the way of the shinobi as well.

Peace be with you always.

[Rafidayn4eva]

nice choice of clothes

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks friend.

[nightuga113]

i love all your evasion videos seeing as when i sparr i always counter 1 in 50 times do i attack these help alot 5/5

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes the foot work for these shifts should put you in position for an excellent counter attack.

[kissrdbc]

nice movment inshifted the body out way

[ssnakeydnb]

ashihara evasion techniques are nice

[n3phlim]

if u are going to ram your opponent with your shoulder while moving and shifting your weight diagnoly if your opponent is trained they would try to stay in the center of balance aligned with yours(try to stay directly in front of you) if you move diagnoly how can you hit them. BTW are you a black belt if not u should not try to teach others what you have not mastered.

[nightuga113]

he is a blackbelt i think hes like a 3rd dan

[scopeophile]

lovely, now could you please show the whole thing with actual attackers. So as we can see the process physically working.

Also- on the Chinese shift, it's better to rotate using the ball of the foot as opposed to the heal.

This allows quicker shift of weight should you need to evade suddenly again... and should their attack still disrupt balance you just lower you heel to 'grip' more to help compensate.

Also, it's easier to keep balanced - leaned that from doing tai chi.

[scopeophile]

That's lovely...

Now, can we see some demos involving an attacking opponent, so as to test & understand these principals in context?

Oh BTW - the Chinese shift... much more effective if you rotate using the balls of the feet(the fleshy bit under the big toe) as opposed to the heal.

You'll have the option of shifting your weight again - but have more balance should the need arise. Plus, should your attacker disrupt you balance, you can drop the heal to compensate.

Learned from doing tai-chi.

[SipahiWarrior]

I have a question, in order to learn martial arts? Is it possible to learn by yourself? without a teacher?

[ShinobiMystic]

this is still debated, I use these video's mostly to augment and learn from my own mistakes and develop new courses for my training.

[SipahiWarrior]

Thank you very much for informative videos, I like martial arts and enjoy them, thanks.

[DarkShader01]

Nice Video Pal.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching. It is a concept that I wanted to discuss.

[togakure89]

yo hey thats a nice video! really kool dude!

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks, I have been trying to develop good evasion.

[TheDivineSoldier]

Very good concept, easy to follow and very realistic and effective. This seems good to use against multiple attackers when done in a few repetitions, to evade hits. Thank you for sharing!

[ShinobiMystic]

I should show this with multiple attackers.

Thanks for watching.

[Kempojiujutsu]

An excellent video Mike and good shuriken throwing by your friend. I liked your explanation of the stances. 5 stars. Thanks for sharing.

[eMichaye]

Excellent video.I see you are proud of it,as you should be.Some notes:

1.With the heel shift,you look like you compromise your balance a little bit;it may be difficult to parry immediately after you do it.

2.You focus on straight punches. A wild hook could diminish the effect of a milder shift.

Still,these are great.I like to practice multiple shifts in succession,following up each with a counter-attack.I'm not confident enough in my skills to record it,though,so this joke's on me.:D

[Archklaine]

I believe shifting is crucial if you want to be a good fighter. Your opponent usually puts he's body weight into an attack and that's why, when you shift, he will usually go off balance giving several openings.

Side shifts are some of the best, but a good offense can be used as defense, even when it comes to shifting, I hope to post some videos sometime and I'll be demonstrating that.

Thanks for sharing

[Cheerok]

hey did you kinda copy my style of resynching the vid afeter its shot :D anyways nice vid shifting is really important even if many martial artists pay less attention to it

5 Stars my friend!

[ShinobiMystic]

No I did not copy your style these techniques I learned from various masters of ninjitsu.

I am very interested about your style now friend.

[Cheerok]

i wasnt talking about the techniques ^^

i was talking about the way to edit the video to lay the sound under it after you shot the video.

your techniques are good and really important to know since evasion is a fundamental for every art

anyways i hope to get some more videos up and ill inform you when theyre ready

cheers Cheerok

[ShinobiMystic]

Well I am just working with what we've got. Thanks for watching. I look forward to your video's friend.

[nightuga113]

Hey if its no bother i would like it if you did vids on protection against kicks grapples and weapons plz

[pmaughmer]

Very good video. I tink shifting is one of the most important movements in combat, alot of peoples natural reaction is to back up.

Im glad you made this video. Keep up the great work and train hard.

[ladysha1]

cool vid & i agree with blackfigmentparkour...thanks 4 sharing

[usamanta]

Great video Mike! I like to use the spear shift alot, and the others might work aswell, but perhaps not so much vs a trained opponent as in sparring.

Peace out

[ShinobiMystic]

You would be supprised what you can do.

[thommark123]

[kenshin715]

[MOUNTAINOUS]

[MartialArtsFanatic1]

Great video Mike. Thanks for sending me the email of this video. Glad i saw it. Keep up the great work.

Much love Rachelle.

You are a wonderful martial artist

[blackfigmentparkour]

Yes, I previously watched this shinobimystic :) very good, you should also do a rolling sideways, forwards and backwards into this :)

[mikereis77]

Good job! I've seen many of these before and I believe they can work especially if timed right.

[karateninja56]

[ShinobiMystic]
