Have you found a new Bujinkan teacher yet? If not, I would hesitate to put Bujinkan on your titles until you are part of their organization. People get funny about that.
@tarquinogilvie yes. you got to scroll my uploads but there are tons of higher rank guys much better than me doing it on vids. you need to know the names of the punches etc or throws you want to see. such as ometo gyaku. etc. i will send you a vid of me demonstrating some then you can search my username and the work mushadori and hicho etc and find other vids etc. but i have over a hundred budo type vids. what techniques do you wish to see a vid of?
Man I'm glad I watched this video, I am a shodan in Bujinkan and I recently moved to the jungle with no dojos in sight. But I train in my san shin and other weapon and striking training to try to keep up my budo skills, anyway its cool to see another Bujinkan student that trains in nature on his own.
@23mavcat thanks. i have vids of me in armor on horseback in the mts. water stealth in full ninja gear in lakes in the mts. keep looking around the vids 98-133 they are numbered. tons of fun stuff. then vids around 150 are me and my buddy in armor fighting etc. peace
You're an inspiring individual, i have Bujinkan dojo very close to where i live and i will be learning there, you're the one who has helped me mae my final desicion on the matter, so i thank you.
@funkyseefunkydo it's a shame though, every so often he had a few decent videos of techniques, but he had a bigger ego than most people, and in martial arts, there's no room for that kind of attitude
@SuperPresidentDead still dont get it. this is a song from the zen garden cd from the dollar tree for one dollar lol. are you a composer? not sure what you mean. lol
@MrAaronch at the time it meant 4th kyu. most bujinkan do green belt for all ranks up to black. and with the kyu patch a combo of silver or gold stars and anywhere from one star to four tells what kyu it is. same with dan ranks. they get a black and red dan patch and then do stars for each dan rank up to 5th dan and then patch changes and you start with the stars again. silver is first then gold. silver is 9th -5th kyu then gold is 4th - 1st kyu etc
@5T0RML0RD dont forget fu and ku no kata. and why list one of the 8 kihon happo. dont forget omote and omote gyaku with a punch. ura gyaku. jumonji, mushadori and ganseki nage. and now oni kudaki and yes i do know all the japanese words for all budo related things. i cant be bothered anymore. what the hell does that mean. go see my vid on all the earth forms sanshin no kata. i have vids on all kihon happo i will send you.
Your videos are really the best...Im sorry about that i cant put my videos in here yet...But im gonna buy a new USB cable right when i get in shop...=)
very nice thank you for sharing your video you inspire me to train more , to keep in mind that the path is with in your self . and will lead you to spiritual enlightenment i wish you well , happeness , good health and thank you
excellent video, i love the combination of music and natural settings, in my opinion the staff is one of the most effective and practical self defense weapons that a person can learn to use, i always carry a staff with me when on a hike, it's a great all around tool! :3
how many years you do this? and frome what age?you shood put some video obout basics and training pls:Dcuz i wana do to but in my town there are no stuff like this :(
@MOUNTAINOUS dude, that hittn the mitt video was awsome, i wish i had someone to train with around here. if i could afford it, i could attend master bud malstroms classes but, alas, i cannot. but im not gonna give up, im ganna continue on my parkour journey and continue reading soke hatsumi's books.
yes i recieved 7 types and 3 of each all free from adam. i show all of them in a video called shurikenjutsu of nintaijutsu and black dragon forge. i am not with nintaijutsu now but i was then. i show each one up close and do a review on them in my previous videos
dive roll. go to my other vids on just rolling. i do plenty of no handed rolls with weapons and pistols in my hands and no hands touch. it is very easy. i do what about 30 different rolls. some one hand some no hand. some with guns. etc.. go to a vid called battojutsu i made recently and see me rolling with sword no handed no fingers. and drawing a razor sword and spinning 180 on the knee fast and cutting mid draw.
Some of the more traditional types could view your forefingers pointed down in hira no kamae (with bo) as disrespectful to Takamatusu Soke. Nevertheless, your intent and good heart shine through in your video. Well done.
Isn't there a picture of Takamatsu in hira with a bo with his forefingers down? I've seen it in several other japanese books but it's never something we actually talked about in class.
Yes, this was one of Takamatsu Soke's signature finger positions. Some say that the forefingers pointed downward implied you (uke) were going straight to hell.
might i suggest you land your strike before your foot lands on the floor, so that you can have your body weight in the strikes. this applies to weapons also.
i am on speaking terms with all the shidoshi i have trained with in the bujinkan. my bujinkan teacher is on my facebook. and they support what i am doing. it is the same ryuha. like genbukan or jinenkan. kamiyama is just another school that broke away. even with the great bujinkan i have noticed more making fun or hate coming from bujinkan guys on forums etc...all schools are good. it is the man or teacher that makes the student. i can come to any class or seminar still in bujinkan.
Welcome back to the Bujinkan. You're on the right path. Nice videography too. And rolling on stones and pine cones near a cliff edge...very brave. Adds a nice realism to training as opposed to foam mats in a gym. Keep going strong. You have neat to watch videos. It's apparent you study Japanese martial traditions indepth and intensely. Do you study Buddhism and Taoism too? Is that what caused the rift with Choson Ninja? I have heard he is a bit of a bible thumper, or is that incorrect?
choson is still my friend i was sick of his history vids and drama. i made tons of cool vids after this. 115 vid i wear real armor on horses in the mountains. etc... lots of real armor vids. and each vid is a lake or waterfall or river etc.. archery in armor etc... i have cristian background too. i am a student of bujinkan ryuha but i am part of ralph severes kamiyama dojo. he is one of the best to ever come from the bujinkan. i am on his side as shodan now. art of combat site
I have a great deal of respect for you and your path...please let me kno what city master park does his training...where's the dojo. i wish to join to further improve my skills and discipline...much thanks for your time
The area where you were working out in was very beautiful to bad you lack respect for it. Punching holes in a defenseless tree with shurkens I see this as very disrespectful to the tree and to nature itself
if you dont want to watch you dont have too. i respect and connect spiritually to the forest and spend more time in the forest than anyone i know. period. it is my life. this hurts nothing. the bark on these trees is like 2 inches thick. and i dont do this often. go to vid 115.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but in the opening minutes of this video, it appears you are using different angles and kamae, in conjunction with shuto.
you are correct. it iscalled sanshin no kata meaning basic 3 hearts pattern. it is from the gyokko ryuha of the 9 ryuha that make up the bujinkan. the omote and ura shuto meaning palm up and palm down shuto are the earth elements water and fire. sui no kata is the water form. palm up. ka no kata is the fire form. palm down. hope that helps
How long have you been traininig for? I'm 6th kyu as of yesterday and I've been training for two years under duncan mitchel, he trained with Hatsumi for I think about 20 or so years.
no these are real forged and from black dragon forge. i got all my shurikens free from them to demo. they are great. if you go to a video when i was in nintaijutsu called nintaijutsu shurikenjutsu and black dragon forge i show all of them i got and close ups and i give the link to his site
this gi top is a cheap gi top i bought in 1997. 12 years ago. i have no idea where i got it. the pants are hakama that chosonninja send me as a gift free. i have no idea where he got them. it is just a normal gi top and black hakama.
Good luck on your new path. It is always good to see those who have passion find the true way for themselves. I hope many more of Greg's followers see this and get a clue.
for your high blocks then ura or mote sheto(i get those 2 mixed up)try using your hips a bit more, rotate your body using the power of your hips to get more strength in your blocking hand( 3:08)
i get all shuriken free from black dragon forge. i dont know if it is mild or not. i know they work good. take care. my new vid is me on white horse in the mountains and in red armor and teaching horse to like my bow and arrows for future mounted archery vids in armor. check it out if you have time. take care
This is a very nice place to train, and I live the river. It gives the natural dojo of yours a feeling of tranquility. I train in the woods too, but its nowhere near as beautiful as the spot you train. I have much respect for you, especially leaving Greg now to pursue true ninjutsu. Your skill in bojutsu is incredible too, and your zenpo kaiten are perfect.
I have just come across some of his videos,some are pretty interesting but i noticed there borrowed from different arts is he saying that he invented them himself? because i noticed some tags that are giving him some flak.
I'm glad to see that you've taken a more sensible path mountainous. As a fellow martial artist I am always concerned when I see people following a path which isn't exactly straight.
You look good - with your gi on and not the nintaijutsu gi. You also look like you've lost weight. I'm happy for you. Good luck in your quest to perfect yourself in martial arts.
By the way, your swordsmanship is much better then Park's. Seeing Park do your chiburi made me cringe, for so many reasons. Now I hope you don't stop doing it for principle reasons.
...and does this mean you will slow down now? cuz we all know there is someone in the bush.
slow down. bush. what does that mean. ya it was weird when i have combined a cut and 2 chiburi from differernt ryu and i make it my signature chiburi now and then next vid after i leave someone else did it and i was like wait a minute. that is my move and i never seen him do it till i leave. did you see my bajutsu in yoroi vid. i made it last night. wild stuff.
Very well done you skill level is way beyond 4 kyu. Go to a dojo and get graded, visit Japan if you can. You may even be ready for the sakki test. Very well done again Bufu Ikkan.
wow cool. i plan on attending a few seminars far away when i can afford them. i live in remote mountain village. but i send you a vid with hghlights and my newer ones 104-113 are my newere vids. i have trained for years since my last rank and i have improved alot. thank you for the kind words.
Respect friend. Many stay in a group they know they have grown past because they are afraid of what others think. I know I have been there. It is even harder when some of those people are like brothers. You made the right choice and the rewards if you choose will be the growth of your character which far out weighs any martial technique. God bless your journey.
wow... jason im happy for you that you are following your own path in your training i think not following master park and nintaijutsu is a good thing... but it may backfire
it cant backfire. i want traditional japanese ninjutsu and you will only find it in bujinkan, genbukan, jinenkan and toshindo. in that order. bujinkan is true source for real ninjutsu. bow
This is great. I like how even though you left nintaijutsu, you said you'd still be there for your friends who study it. Thats wisdom. They may disagree with you about choson, but they still are your friends. Thats awesome bro. But I'm glad you're leaving choson's "art". Its certainly not an art. Much respect.
thanks. i wasnt gonna be a drama queen. all my friend from nintaijutsu and including greg, i hope they know i did this for my own reasons as well as disagreeing on how things are done within the group. our how the group handles things. i am willing to be friends or help any of them. and if you are reading this greg. thanks for all that you did for me and our friendship. i still care for greg. but i must go my own way.
i spent 6 years in class and about 5 years outside of class studying bujinkan specific stuff. my rank dont show it but i hope my skills speak for themselves. but i still got alot to learn. lol
Wow. Just wanted to say that must have took a lot of courage to seek out the path that's best for you, I'm sure it was a very tough decision. Much respect!
it was a very tough decision because i still care for each and everyone in nintaijutsu that i got to know. but i want real ninja from japan. japan is my life. always has been.
Lol My comment is not here. Oh well here we go again. You are the fucking man. I love the traditiional training. the fire is alive in your soul and you have freed yourself in many ways. Congratulations. No matter what anyone says you are a dedicated practitioner of the killing arts!!! You are like a real life action figure dude!!!!
thanks. i have had problems posting on others vids too. did you see mike and billys blinding powder vid. at one point they are both in kamae rocking back and forth working on motion to throw. it looks sick. i am like ya guys. everyone has supported me including all nintai friends. i will not bash them or trash them. i will still watch their friends and be there for them if they need me. honor integrity bro. action figure. lol. look me up for my weird story or on msn in about 30 min.
That is such a peaceful and beautifel area to train in. I'd love to go camping there and train and just stay there for a few days. How fantasic would that be.
i understand where people are coming from. but 300 year old trees 300 feet tall have tree bark 3 inches thick. i never get to tree. hurricane. flood. 20 feet snow. 70 miles a hour wind cant hurt tree. my litte shuriken dont hurt. i love the forest more than anyone i know. i wont hurt forest. thank you for enjoying my video
jason don't you have an archery target you use? or you could throw at downed trees. or get a big saw and cut log rounds off one of the downed trees those are the best targets for shuriken aside from tatami
my archery target is 3 milk crates zip tied together. with a double thick cardboard box duct tape on top. then i take several layers of cardboard the size of the box and put layers on the front and back. and they i make my own bullseye. it works for about 100 arrows. and it is free. lol. i used downed ones when i throw semban style but for other throws i used ones standing. i love the forest. i dont think this hurts them honestly and i picked a few trees use alot and there are
if i knew it hurt them i probably wont do it. when i see someone litter on mt i want to. well i wont say. but nothing makes me madder than tourist disrespecting the mt. but bark is 3 inches and i never get to meat of tree. maybe i should make target and put one nail in my favorite tree. and hang a target and take it to and from. if it thought it would hurt the tree i never would of did it. we will see what i can come up with. they just stick so good and solid. and if throw sucks tree wont stick
a big log would be awsome. like from a down tree but 3 feet around and a slice 8 inches thick. then i could put it in my truck and keep it there and the inside of a tree sticks good. then stand it on its side on a fallen tree and have 3 foot circle target.
may be leaving area in next year. 1/2 acre hear with no cabin. 300,000 dollars. southern illinois. where i am from. and hilly but not mt. in southern illinois. 18 acres forest in the middle of no where. lots of turkey and deer to hunt. cabin lake stocked fish. 50,000. my bro is looking for vacation cabin for me to live full time. and build biggest obstacle course, horse barn, mutliple archery targets. zen atmospherer. who knows. but it is in the back of my mind and family wants me closer.
i will try to stay but parents78 years old. and in nursing home in next 10 years maybe. and sell their home. my whole family lives in illinois. and maybe if the right land is up even 12 acres with cabin and pond i go. i can build rock sidewalks with just rocks. japanese bamboo wind chime. litte budda for lawn i see at garden place.boom little baby japan village for me to live the rest of my life. work little play alot. train and live every day in hakama. we will see. it is my dream to build this
Im more impressed with someone with training in the Bujinkan than I am with someone with Nintaijutsu. Although Im a beginer Id like to see more of what you can do. Thank you.
you are great. you had a black belt in choson ryu? giving that up for something authentic is admirable. i'v seen some kata that i know... im training for my 4th kyu tests.
Jason an excellent video first off 5 stars. A very respectful way to say goodbye to Nintaijutsu . I will be sad to see you go but you must do what is best for you. I will continue to watch your videos. Good luck with your Ninjutsu training. Beautiful rolls brother and some good shurikenjutsu skills you have there. You will always have my friendship . Have fun training Jason.
thanks. i felt i left with honor and dignity. i wont bash greg our any of you guys. i got my own agenda and i am not afraid to admit the history vids that are supposed to make japan and korea love each other is not working. it is pulling them apart. me and mike came in private and talked to someone and it did no good. so i made my choice. i will still watch all your vids and my other friends in nintaijutsu. but for me i want real ninjutsu of japan. take care and i will be watching you. peace
Hey Jason! Great video as always, awesome grouping with the Dragons Teeth! As far as Nintaijutsu goes, we all move to and from schools as our own experience grows over time. It will be a loss for Nintaijutsu, but a boon to the Bujinkan. I just hope that there is no pettiness over your leaving. Talk to you soon!
Hey, did you say Ed Martin? Thats my teacher's teacher! I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly, he trained Shidoshi Sean Kennedy, who is my teacher. I've heard absolutely great things about Ed from Sean, so I'm sure you'll love it. Good luck.
Thank you, his dojo is 10 miles south from Allentown, which is 30-40 miles south form where I live, so it's less than an hour away. And yeah, I've heard lots of great things about him too.
Well, I haven't followed the nintaijutsu drama very closely, but I am aware of it. IMHO, this is a good choice for you, and I am excited to see you're new beginning! Best of luck to you on your renewed journey!
BTW, you're bojutsu looks excellent! Better than ever! And you have quite good accuracy with those shuriken!
I continue to be impressed with your work, and look forward to seeing more and more awesome vids from Mt. Hood!
You have my respect. When it is time to grow past something most stay for fear of what others think. You moved on and set a good example for others. I know how this is, as I have done so myself. It builds character which is more valuable. Because we can only contain the measure of wisdom that our character allows. As our character grows so does our life. God bless your journey.
I see you are wearing your new footwear! Sweet! If one wishes to train like a samurai or ninja, it is best to learn authentic Japanese styles. You don't go to China to learn Krav Maga, you know? In my humble opinion, it was a good decision on your part. As always, it is excellent to see your videos, keep them coming! Peace.
nice. i dont know what bmx vid you saw but the other day i did a google search and typed in jason stork bmx and one of my newer bmx vids from youtube is featured on a pro bmx website with pro riders next to my vid and pro ads. wild huh. take care
send me a vid that you want pointers and let me know what you are working on then i can help you with pointers. but just to look and help is to general. all of us and even me can improve everything. i will not bash you but if you want i will constructively in a positive way tell you your mistakes and do my best to guide you to fix them. take care
Well, thats not good. Have you gone to a doctor about your shoulder? Even if you were to train online, wouldn't your shoulder still bother you if you trained with a partner? Besides, like scottbiaoisdead said, its not a good idea to train online. Especially in Bujinkan. You HAVE to have someone show you exactly how to do it correctly. This is a very deep art. Saying that you shouldn't train online isn't meant to be anything bad against mountainous, its just a really bad idea in general.
Only reason why I have not was I More in likely Need a MRI just to see what happed to it. Also the best they can do and Cut out the Sear tesset and thige it up thats it.
i told him.. some just dont understand because the are used to what we did and what i did before. i wont teach but they can still watch and it may persuade them to find the real deal
hey jason, does this mean you wont be doing anymore ninja videos and just make samurai ones instead or are you still going to do both, i hope you still stick with them all still. best wishes though.
greg park and nintaijutsu had nothing to do with ninja. the bujinkan is true ninjutsu. mountainous knows this and is devoting himself to true ninjutsu
awesome I hold 3th kyu in the bujinkan great training.

i am on speaking terms with all the shidoshi i have trained with in the bujinkan. my bujinkan teacher is on my facebook. and they support what i am doing. it is the same ryuha. like genbukan or jinenkan. kamiyama is just another school that broke away. even with the great bujinkan i have noticed more making fun or hate coming from bujinkan guys on forums etc...all schools are good. it is the man or teacher that makes the student. i can come to any class or seminar still in bujinkan.
MOUNTAINOUS 2 years ago
Welcome back to the Bujinkan. You're on the right path. Nice videography too. And rolling on stones and pine cones near a cliff edge...very brave. Adds a nice realism to training as opposed to foam mats in a gym. Keep going strong. You have neat to watch videos. It's apparent you study Japanese martial traditions indepth and intensely. Do you study Buddhism and Taoism too? Is that what caused the rift with Choson Ninja? I have heard he is a bit of a bible thumper, or is that incorrect?
tengukagekan 2 years ago
choson is still my friend i was sick of his history vids and drama. i made tons of cool vids after this. 115 vid i wear real armor on horses in the mountains. etc... lots of real armor vids. and each vid is a lake or waterfall or river etc.. archery in armor etc... i have cristian background too. i am a student of bujinkan ryuha but i am part of ralph severes kamiyama dojo. he is one of the best to ever come from the bujinkan. i am on his side as shodan now. art of combat site

The area where you were working out in was very beautiful to bad you lack respect for it. Punching holes in a defenseless tree with shurkens I see this as very disrespectful to the tree and to nature itself

if you dont want to watch you dont have too. i respect and connect spiritually to the forest and spend more time in the forest than anyone i know. period. it is my life. this hurts nothing. the bark on these trees is like 2 inches thick. and i dont do this often. go to vid 115.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but in the opening minutes of this video, it appears you are using different angles and kamae, in conjunction with shuto.
owenspence 2 years ago
you are correct. it iscalled sanshin no kata meaning basic 3 hearts pattern. it is from the gyokko ryuha of the 9 ryuha that make up the bujinkan. the omote and ura shuto meaning palm up and palm down shuto are the earth elements water and fire. sui no kata is the water form. palm up. ka no kata is the fire form. palm down. hope that helps

Among the people whom was related to Park, and leave him, two kinds of people exist.
The people who merely ran away to their world
In another people taking the responsibility for having "taken part in evil design of a park"
Real courageous people taking the responsibility will do the next action by all means.
They request You-Tube to delete "the video that a figure of themselves was abused" in video of ChosonNinja-liar.

By the way, your swordsmanship is much better then Park's. Seeing Park do your chiburi made me cringe, for so many reasons. Now I hope you don't stop doing it for principle reasons.
...and does this mean you will slow down now? cuz we all know there is someone in the bush.
CentredOne 2 years ago 2
slow down. bush. what does that mean. ya it was weird when i have combined a cut and 2 chiburi from differernt ryu and i make it my signature chiburi now and then next vid after i leave someone else did it and i was like wait a minute. that is my move and i never seen him do it till i leave. did you see my bajutsu in yoroi vid. i made it last night. wild stuff.

Respect friend. Many stay in a group they know they have grown past because they are afraid of what others think. I know I have been there. It is even harder when some of those people are like brothers. You made the right choice and the rewards if you choose will be the growth of your character which far out weighs any martial technique.

scottbaioisdead 2 years ago 2
my archery target is 3 milk crates zip tied together. with a double thick cardboard box duct tape on top. then i take several layers of cardboard the size of the box and put layers on the front and back. and they i make my own bullseye. it works for about 100 arrows. and it is free. lol. i used downed ones when i throw semban style but for other throws i used ones standing. i love the forest. i dont think this hurts them honestly and i picked a few trees use alot and there are
MOUNTAINOUS 2 years ago
if i knew it hurt them i probably wont do it. when i see someone litter on mt i want to. well i wont say. but nothing makes me madder than tourist disrespecting the mt. but bark is 3 inches and i never get to meat of tree. maybe i should make target and put one nail in my favorite tree. and hang a target and take it to and from. if it thought it would hurt the tree i never would of did it. we will see what i can come up with. they just stick so good and solid. and if throw sucks tree wont stick
MOUNTAINOUS 2 years ago
a big log would be awsome. like from a down tree but 3 feet around and a slice 8 inches thick. then i could put it in my truck and keep it there and the inside of a tree sticks good. then stand it on its side on a fallen tree and have 3 foot circle target.

Well, thats not good. Have you gone to a doctor about your shoulder? Even if you were to train online, wouldn't your shoulder still bother you if you trained with a partner? Besides, like scottbiaoisdead said, its not a good idea to train online. Especially in Bujinkan. You HAVE to have someone show you exactly how to do it correctly. This is a very deep art. Saying that you shouldn't train online isn't meant to be anything bad against mountainous, its just a really bad idea in general.
