  • @ToumasuKun very interesting but how old i must be at least to learn this i'm 14 :-)

  • very interesting but how old i must be at least to learn this  i'm 14 :-)

  • not half bad im more of a koga man but i must say these guys arent to shaby lol XD and P.S. when your kid show's that he's a big fan of ninja's and wonna be 1 you now know that he saw this vid B4 you and now know why all the poeple that under estamate them died XD in other words your son knows who the wining team is (speaking of ninja in general not special clan's)

  • he looks like yoshi from nigahiga

  • i wonder does those ninjas rite now still doing their services like ancient ages??

  • @zackrosario yea. but the ancient ninjas ar now called Special Operations or Special Forces.

  • Can we borrow you in England!

  • Soo... The "naruto looking" headband was actually used in feudal japan? o.O

    I´v been trying to research it but haven´t found anything about them, I was almost beginning to think it was just another fictional ninja-myth, much like the straight-bladed Ninjato.

  • @Ozzy2817 Honestly I doubt they were used by ninjas. But somthing similar was used by Samurai's to define clans and groups. Ninjas didnt have any uniforms or tags just because there uniform was what farmers or swordmakers wore so they infiltrate easily. I doubt anybody would pass unnoticed if you wore a full black suit and a blaclava. Altoughh in some cases they did wear the legendry black suit for stealth night missions and the suit actually was dark blue because when the moon is shining you ..

  • @Ozzy2817 can see black sillouhettes really easily. since the camouflage patterns werent discovered yet. they might have uses 'ghillie suits' though, and in the uploaders case, he is wearing something which people expect of what a 'Ninja' would look like.

  • DAMN. I went there.  TWICE. I never got to see this demo. I know the Kuji-in by heart, but my fingers are too stubby to make the mudras unhappyface. Oh, and the words up top for those who don't know yet, are "Nin-Jya-Su-Te-Ji" or "Ninja stage" in engrish.

  • DAMN. I went there. TWICE. I never got to see this demo. I know the Kuji-in by heart, but my fingers are too stubby to make the mudras unhappyface.

  • Dis is a sickle!

  • Holy ridiculous

  • @artie416 thanks!

  • Stupid sound effects that's all i can say haha

  • japanese ninja rules!

  • Not very stealthy with all that talking :D

  • This ninjutsu thing reminds me of naruto.

  • @Arteanor

    How about you try the Bujinkan?

    Seriously, google it asshole,

  • @MarvHartigan1

    bold enough to write a comment (and type my name on it) , but not enough so to make it an reply...

    there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE to support the bujinkan's claims of ninjutsu..

    Takamatsu Toshitsugu made up that story  after the kukishin ryu wouldn't support his claim ( as he told Hatsumi and Tanemura) that he was teaching them 'kukishin ryu NINPO'

    there is ALSO the major hitch in the story... there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE of Toda Masamitsu Shinryuken.

    did you have some?

  • @Arteanor

    Alright perhaps that's right, still any Bujinkan practitioner can kick any of our asses. Yours too, unless you got any evidence to dispute that?

  • @MarvHartigan1

    "still any Bujinkan practitioner can kick any of our asses. Yours too, unless you got any evidence to dispute that?"

    sure, since it is a baseless assertion... but by the letter of what you said, i only have to show 1 example of a bujinkan member i can beat.

    these are easy to find, as there is little to no quality control being put forth by hatsumi or much of anyone else... its just a race to throw money until u can throw it at hatsumi... so people will throw it at you....

    scam.

  • They took the sound effects from Tenchu lol

  • @bhayden73 In life, there is no point to do something half assed, do everything well or dont bother doing it at all. Master your movements, master your body, master your wepon, master your mind and soul...

  • haha wow, i didn't think id find this interesting because i couldnt make out what they were saying, but that last part was awesome.

  • His hand is kind of right up against the hilt isn't he choking it? I thought you were supposed to hold it towards the end because the leverage is better.

  • @bhayden73 okay

  • @bhayden73 haha :D it is called 'tameshigiri', a common practise in kenjutsu and it's supposed to simulate the density of a human neck.

    usually it's a bamboo-stick (= the column) with moist tatami (rice-straw mats = the flesh) wrapped around it.

    When your cutting technique is right, the sword should go easily through.. if not, the sword will get stuck somewhere halfway.

  • @ToumasuKun The fact that it's trying to stimulate the density of a human neck scares the crap out of me.

  • @ToumasuKun

    I understand. I appreciate your Kind Explanation.

  • i think is is the real,pure,original ninjutsu,just like kyokushin of masutatsu oyama,cause these ninjas lives in iga province,where the ninja village exist,there are so many ninjutsu style in this world outside the village..and it is hard to say...just a question,"master..our ninjutsu related to iga or kouga?""our grandmaster is iga ninja or kouga ninja?",if we want to learn ninjutsu,maybe the best way is go to japan,iga province and learn from them...if..they want to teach us...right?haha.

  • @izunaslice

    Trolling for the lulz or what?

    seriously??

    these are ACTORS!!!

    and ninjutsu is EXTINCT! only fakes are claiming to teach it now,,, and they all believe the movies and think its a martial art....

    "there are so many ninjutsu style in this world outside the village."

    name ONE!

    there are none that are real.

  • Where in the world is naruto?

  • How many people are in the audience??//?////????

  • @TheIronicBanana About 15, maybe 20 people.

  • @ToumasuKun Oh Ok thank you very much.

  • @TheIronicBanana

    My estimation.... Is around 7. But there could be 20 silent ninjas there too. Lol

  • I wish i knew what he was saying its soo amazing :(

  • i love naruto but i could never compare that bull to this!!!

  • this is mroe like some show i dont see skill demonstration here

  • Wow...I never really pictures kamas as throwing weapons, but I guess...

    Cool demo.

  • Is that the soundtrack from the last samurai in the background?

  • 7:08 pretty sure that one day, one rope's gonna fail and the axe will fly in the audience.

  • He is a ninja assassin :O

  • This vid seems more like a ninjitsu culture demo rather than the attacking part of the art. Interesting nonetheless.

  • the last part was epic!!

  • 'dis is a sickle' haha twat

  • naruto, makes ninjutsu look like a joke. this is much better.

  • no entendi nada pero esta chido

  • it could be nice with some subs

  • These are real ninja. To learn to be one you must go to the source inorder to capture the real spirit and structure of the beliefs and skills.

  • @KingCream23 Sorry to let you down but there are no "ninjas" anymore...

  • @DaneAraux As sad as what you say affects me I can not deny what you have said. It is..truly..a dying breed :(

  • man ninjas r awesome i know one ninja clan by my house they call them selves the Kage Ninja

  • what I love about assassin arts is that they deliver death from a box.

  • very nice video

  • Video is descriptive and good BUT at least some subtitles should be added. Thank you for the video.

  • 効果音に吹く

  • He's very good with those Shuriken.

  • nice men

  • So are these guys actual heirs to the Iga heritage? Cos that would be awesome. I've done some research on the Iga and Kouga clans of ninjas, and I wasn't sure if Igas and Kougas actually existed anymore. Man, studying with Bujinkan ninjutsu is one thing, but actually studying alongside the Iga or Kouga clans would be amazing..

  • @femoman

    "So are these guys actual heirs to the Iga heritage?"

    nope, the last practitioner of ninjutsu was Fujita Seiko, who died over 40 years ago.

    "Man, studying with Bujinkan ninjutsu is one thing,"

    it is one thing, i agree.  a false thing. the bujinkan has never provided any evidence for its claims to ninjutsu.

    from the looks of it, its a martial art that takamatsu made from his various learnings

  • @Arteanor Well to be perfectly fair, Im the sort of person who cares less about the art's lineage, and more about its effectiveness. That's why I prefer ninjatos over katanas, for instance.

  • @femoman

    "Well to be perfectly fair, Im the sort of person who cares less about the art's lineage, and more about its effectiveness"

    thats cool man, i totally understand that.

    but then here is the problem... what makes it OK to call it ninjutsu when we can show that it isn't ?

    'That's why I prefer ninjatos over katanas, for instance'

    which sort? straight square tsuba? or kokatana?

    i like the IDEA of a kokatana. especially with an O-wakizashi....

  • Incredible kama movements

  • great vid :)

  • Maravillosas técnicas con armas, especialmente del minuto 9 en adelante. Sin emabargo el Japón perdió la II guerra mundial. Aún así el ninjutsu es un arte extraordinaria, digno de aprender

  • Excelente demostración bravo

  • because naruto is based on ninjutsu

  • There were actually 7 ninjas in this video, and one tour guide.

  • It's fucking annoying how many "naruto fanboys" think they're experts on ninjutsu when they base all their information on websites.

  • irrespective of all comments, these people r skilled in these weapons.

    thanks for such an upload!

  • Man, being in a ninja village is so cool. I wish I was there.

  • @hayategumo Yea, I bet you would love planting rice all day long.

  • HEY ITS NARUTO'S TEAMATE

  • plz review my page Hastsumi showed the scrolls over a few decades ago when he was 23 or 24 I believe. I have it saved under Hastsumi's Interview. Just because your to ignorant to view all archives of hastumi on electronic file before you open your yap before you insult the last soke of Ninjustu is wrong. Yes he's the soke of Koga you people are Iga get over it. Koga / Iga made a peace treaty if you wish to know when and were all you need to do is ask. Don't insult my soke please baka san.

  • ToumasuKun ... both.

  • fuck this reminds me way too much of naruto

  • @johanbest : or is it that naruto reminds you of ninjutsu ? ;)

  • @ToumasuKun

    Lol xD

  • @johanbest lol naruto wtf xD

  • @johanbest that is because naruto is bassed on the japanese culture of ninjutsu .

  • @johanbest if i had a penny for every single time a guy brings up naruto after seeing a martial arts vid. FIRST there were martial arts, and samurai, and katanas and ninjas and all that shit, and THAN came the animation, ok? there actually is a reality out there that is not an animation or a video game. it's like a guy in "fish called wanda" -- hearing about a woman called portia, he askes "why did they name her after a car?"

  • @johanbest or naruto reminds ninjutsu of you? :-?...

  • @fataxel Maybe Ninjutsu reminds Naruto of him, if Naruto met him?

  • @brucenatelee =)))))

  • @brucenatelee

    How about ninjutsu reminds you to shut the fuck up.

  • @Datboyrydell At least that made sense...

  • @johanbest

    naruto is based off nin jutsu

  • @johanbest are they using sound effects..?

  • Actually, I've trained in the Bujinkan, and I have a 3 rd degree (san-dan) and the ninja's did use Nunchaku, since it was thought to be a flail, and u only named the ones that everyone knows, us shinobi has more of an arsenal than u think, and we DID use whatever came to us, since the ninja were poor! GET IT STRAIGHT!

  • i think you'ree right there. there is no defined set of 'ninja weapons'. they just used whatever they could use or train themselves in. so why indeed no nuchakus or tonfas. it doesn't matter :)

  • You are a "shinobi"? When was the last time you infiltrated a guarded castle where it the punishment of being captured was being boiled in oil? Your own patriarch - Hatsumi Masaaki - has clearly stated that the last "ninja" was Takamatsu Toshitsugu; not you.

  • @ipora88

    as usual hatsumi is talking out of his ass....

    the last ninjutsu practitioner was Fujita Seiko.

    he died over 40 years ago, and didnt teach his art to anyone.

  • @ipora88 stupid, you are called a ninja when you are 3rd degree! Shinobi is what japanese call it, most people outside of Japan call it "Ninja"

  • @Sonsry1

    seems your views about ninja historically are drastically skewed....

    i think you need to check out the Shinob Soldiers series on YT...

    there is no evidence shinobi were poor... same as no evidence for shinobi being half of the crap claimed after the ninja craze...

  • @Creationsofmyown Don't blame me, i trained with hatsumi, unless u wanna call the 34th grandmaster wrong be my guest, he has the scrolls!

  • @Sonsry1

    i AM saying hatsumi is wrong, he DOESNT have the scrolls.

    THATS why he refused to show them to the Nihon Kobudo Shinkokai.

    even takamatsu said he didnt have scrolls. that is why you will only see his claims listed as kuden, (oral transmission, NO PAPERWORK.)

    kuden basically means that we have no evidence beyond that someone says so.

    so im sure you can see that we cant just believe what everyone says,

    there is also the FACT that ninjutsu isnt even a martial art

  • @Sonsry1 of course it would be difficult to really say that all Ninja were poor, as an example I doubt that the famous Hattori Hanzo Masenori (sp?) lived in poverty having worked directly under Tokugawa Ieasu. But yes, a calligrapher can't be too picky about his brush.

  • @Sonsry1 Dude you may do stuff in a dojo but that doesn't make you a ninja

    it's not just about going to a dojo 2-3 times a week messing around with weapons

    all real ninja are long dead.

  • @Sonsry1

    'I've trained in the Bujinkan, and I have a 3 rd degree (san-dan) and the ninja's did use Nunchaku,'

    uh, except it wasn't used outside of okinawa.... and that was much later...

    and your bujinkan credentials in no way entitle you to assert about shinobi, anything you learned there....

    there is no ninjutsu in the bujinkan...

  • @Sonsry1 "Us shinobi" aha so you are the secret ninja warriors who comment stuff on youtube. Practicing 5 times a week so you are the "GET IT STRAIGHT" poor american ninja warrior? :D

  • @Sonsry1 Trained for 2 weeks? Learned 2 moves? Bought a black belt and brag on internet? kcool

  • Does Any One Know Of Any Full Time School You Can Do In Japan To Learn Ninjutsu ? Cost Aint Important SOmething Similar To The Chinese Kung Fu School 1 year or more Live There And Train Any One Can Help Me Out That Would Be Sweet !

  • @Perthboikungfu1991 just go to hatsumi's dojo

  • i enjoyed that, thx

  • if only they have subtitles...or even dubbing!

    yes i am even asking for dubbing...

  • xupa minha rolla@!@

  • sorry for wasting your time, mate :p

  • Comment removed

  • @Primovsky1 śmietana

  • wish they had subtitals, but cool to watch thanks for upload

  • SLOW

  • Kunai were used to take off fish scales. There are triangular kunai such as shown in Naruto and there are round kunai.

    Shuriken and boshuriken are thrown weapons and have purelly combat purposes, such as kusarigama, besides kama that is a farming tool.

  • Many of the tools favoured by ninja and other practitioners of martial art, were actually farming implement, including the kama, the tonfa and the nunchaku, to name a few.

  • ninja never used nunchaku.. hehehe nor did they use tonfas

    your watching way too much of ninja turtles.

    the weapons ninjas used were .

    kama,kusarigama,shuriken,kunai­,shinobigatana(they were not straight),black eggs,blow darts,hand claws,knives etc.

  • Are you ninja? I don't know, but I doubt it. Ninja used anything that came to hand, which is why they are so diversified. The weapons they were historically known to frequently use, were the ones listed above and in scrolls. Thanks for the update. I am aware of the tools ninjs used. I have been reasearching them for 16 years and I am still learning, but these things I do know. Who said the ninja- to was straight? You forgot the halberd style weapons.

  • isn't that obvious but ninjas as such were not carrying nunchakus and tonfas period!

  • i wish i was a ninja

  • in fact everything they show can be learnt at the bujinkan

  • Amazing but everything they show here is present today in other schools as far as I know the only ninja school still running is the bujinkan. These men are highly skilled but don't forget they are just performers at a tourist attraction

  • I like that bad ass IGA thugrag on his head.

  • btw didnt shuriken and kunai were used by farmers or something like that in their daily shores?

  • Shuriken we're used as a weapon.

    Kunai we're used to cut grass and weeds, farmers used it as you said.

  • yes, the kunai was, but the shuriken they made

  • the senban or star shaped shuriken were used for removing nails and a kunai is any sort of knife. The shuriken were mainly intended as a distraction and much like the knife only works to throw if the other person doesn't see it coming.

  • They were also used as a hidded attack device, when up close.

  • damn I need to learn japanese :\

  • The traditional ninja back in fudel japan and korea wore navy blue.. Not black.. It was later they took on the black.. Many things about the ninja are folklore.. Like they walk on water ect ect. Exaduration by locals who came in contact with a ninja the ninja used deseption and fear to their advantage this combined with mastary of stealth made them the most powerful force in fudel japan and korea

    Humble follower of shadow

    Ninjapupil123

  • lol

  • So true, black stands out way to much in the night. There is hardly anything truely black

  • Actually a type of pink is used on some British vehicles. The pink absorbs the dark and blends better so maybe ninja should wear pink and not grey or black

  • old school sound effects haha

  • Thye animal signs are part of thier form of meditation called kuji kiri. If you are thinking naruto that's becaue naruto took that from real ninjutsu. The hands signs each have a meaning like strength of the tiger power of dragon and so forth. Each one also had purpose like for good luck courage, safety, protection...

  • I don't really understand japanese.. but it looks like he's trying to sell those weapons... xD

  • no hes telling them about the katana i think

  • It's cool when he throws two shuriken at the same time at 4.12.

  • ofcourse you will get an answer ;)

    but it's already answered somewhere a few pages back i think

  • give me the link then please

  • i have studied ninjutsu since i was 13 im no ninja at all but as for the comments of how their style or form is wrong is stupid because in a real sword fight even the most skilled of fighters never stick to the script the true power of the ninja is being able to adapt to the situation

  • Iga!

  • Also Ninja never used black suits as it shines to much at night, Ninja used dark blue.

  • everyone knows that, except for hollywood :p

    but these guys are wearing grey suits, which i think also blends nicely in dark areas.

    some even used red because it becomes crimson in shadows. black indeed gives a high contrast in the dark and is easily spotted

  • some apparently used dark fabric with red woven into it: the red woud mask the blood if the ninja were wounded; thus contributing to the myth of invincibility..

  • -_-'' ok PPL dont write sensless shit like "theyre doing it wrong" or "it isnt the proper form" cuz they are the few who carry the title "iga" and guess what? you dont. so i think............ i KNOW that they know what they are doing and talking about.. so unless you are actually from the iga or practice budo for a lon enough time to call yourself a grandmaster, dont criticize..... dumbass.

  • i hear you, people need to show respect

  • iga isn't a title it's a place and these people aren't ninja they're stuntmen any one of them will tell you're they're doing karate mixed with wushu with a little bit of real japanese martial arts but it's all for show.

  • You're not much better.

    You don't do real ninjutsu.

    You aren't even a martial artist, just a kid overly obsessed with Japanese culture.

    Scottsninjutsu ftw!

    Whenever an enemy attacks you.

    Start by teaching him Ninjutsu history and then speak to him in Japanese. Then after you wake up in the hospital. You have truely mastered Scottsninjutsu.

  • no this is wrong

  • care to explain ? :D

  • 1:06 when he drew his sword, either use it as a killing strike or go into a posture immediately. his first blow was a one handed downward cut. if an opponent were to block the first strike(with ease), he would have lost his weapon or his life. plus his arms are way to far out except the fifth strike which was close. the problem with not keeping it in close is that you can easily loose your balance and the strike isnt nearly as powerful. just isnt proper form.

  • Ninjutsu.......and a combination of last resort FIGHTING techniques. Don't argue when you don't even properly know the subject, and stop wiki searching, you won't learn from that. I can put under a guitar on wikipedia, that it was invented by me, and not used for an instrument, but as a weapon thatgives off musical soundwaves that tortures the victim.

  • Basically, what I'm saying is you need a wider view, if you know what I mean. You need to look inside. You can't look once and say thats not effective either. The bujinkan trains almost exactly like the real ninja had.

  • Oh, so that's why they teach Budo Taijutsu. Yes. Go read Japan Ninjutsu books by Onbure Dono, Juan Hombre, an actual member of the Iga family and of the JAPAN NINJUTSU FEDERATION.

  • Iga ryu is dead, go read up on it.

  • oh, then Soke Jinichi kawakami, rightful heir of the Iga Ninja as it says in the Iga-Ueno museum, must be dead too. What a shame, such a young lad.

  • well actually since there's no proof of his teachers existence it's a pretty well known fact kawakami is not an inheritor of any form of ninjutsu. so you were at the museum? thats funny because it doesn't say anywhere that kawakami is the head of iga ryu, he's just a researcher.

  • Hatsumi-sensei is the inheritor of all 9 traditions, including the Iga-ryu

  • no he's not the inheritor of iga ryu, he's the soke of some ryu that are from iga but not iga ryu

  • This is right, Ive been to Iga in Japan and this looks like the "ninja house" / museum just down the road from the castle. This is a tiny place in the middle of nowhere. Mia prefecture. These people are stunt men for visitors, some of them wear pink suits lol. I have done Ninjutsu and not even the Bujinkan can really say its genuine but it does have some roots but how many are a real is unknown . Hatsumi has scrolls but are the complete? i don't think so. Straight swords aren't real ether.

  • Sickle/kama throwing looks deadly

  • oh really ? that's great : ) if someone could translate the important parts i could put it in the description (with ofcourse credits for the translator).

    Those guys were actually very nice.

    I talked to them.

    if you would ever get the chance to visit Iga Ueno, be sure to check them out : )

  • they want to teach about Iga Ryu Ninjutsu

    and I can understand them

    they want to transfer their passion to other people and they have right

    and with shuriken it iz very impressing

  • these guys are better than any bujinkan or genbukan....... they really have something to teach...

  • Thats a very quick statement there. Their performance may have been excellant, however, the bujinkan is 100% true Ninjutsu. Never say this is better. Do you even know true ninjutsu. This may be a quick look, but look into the Bujinkan. Thats the only place wiith exceptions to a few other places I don't know of, where you can find true ninjutsu.

  • Yes I know both and they both teach bullshit, 90% not efective !!!These guys are better trained than any Bujinkan member.....sorry if it hurts but its the truth...

  • The genbukan may, but the bujinkan in one of a few schools teaching the actual art. These guys are excellent at martial arts, but your no but not directly.Your not seeing the point. This is what the bujinkan teaches, but in a way that only those who truly understand the art can understand. The teaching of Soke Hatsumi are the direct teachings of the many soke before him all the way to the first Soke of Togakure ryu, Daisuke Togakure.

  • the Bujinkan is NOT a Ninjutsu organization. Masaaki Hatsumi isn't the rightful heir of ANY actual Ninja heritage. All you've got to do is look at the martial art they teach. It is NOT any form of Ninjutsu. It is Budo Taijutsu. Open your eyes, as the only actual Gendai Ninpo are the Iga and the Koga families, just like in the past.

  • Budo Taijutsu is a from of Ninjutsu. There are 18 discipline of the ninja. 1 is taijutsu. You open your eyes instead of talking about something you don't know about. Masaaki Hatsumi doesn't have to be a relative of a ninja to be passed down anything too if you had half a brain. Takamatsu Soke passed down the densho of the nine ryuha he inherited. Also, are you only saying the Iga and Koka were the only Ninja clans? There were alot more than just iga ryu and koka ryu, which are dead.

  • Budo Taijutsu is not a form of Ninjutsu because Ninjutsu isn't a martial art, but the combination of spying, stealth, escape, survival and at last resort fighting techniques of the Ninja. Also, the heir of the real Ninja tradition is Soke Jinichi Kawakami, go to the museum that's in the Iga-Ueno castle, as it says so there. Also, Jinichi Kawakami isn't dead, which must mean iga nor koga are dead, as they share the same origin, and their heir is Jinichi Kawakami.
