Tai sabaki, Ninjutsu movement tutorial in the Judea desert

"Fire in the hole!"

@jmaltube Nah, just a raghead

THis is interesting, and I like the method of placing the foot. The huge part that is missing is the incredible slowness of the initiation of the step. He has to shift his weight opposite of the direction he is stepping time and time again. That shift is deadly and creates more than enough time when he is immobile and can be struck. You can still step this way, but start by moving your weight in the direction you want to go, so you're not so much thinking about picking up the stepping foot.

Wow, this really makes sense. I trained ninjutsu for a while and I always thought the stepping was weird and stupid. I just thought it was because it was kata-like and then you had to find the deeper meaning in the movements with bunkai....but this really makes sense. Thanks a lot for your great videos. You make me want to train ninjutsu again (currently doing JJJ and BJJ) :)

[ninjalla]

@ProzacPreacher sure. keep training

[Thome90]

what does he say at 3:00? does he say Gesundheit? that would be weird

[ninjalla]

@Thome90 That is weird, it's gesundheit alright. So Danke schön.

[molezay]

Sorry to say that these techniques are wrong.ur jump must never be vertical but horizontal>>Mouvent is always parallel to the ground in martial arts!!!!!!!!!

[ninjalla]

@molezay respectfully. Not so

[cariocavip]

I would rather sue someone by body lesions and win some money.

The ''Full Step'' makes you take unnecesary risk, like your opponent throwing you off balance kicking your leg to a side... then you will fall for sure.

Also, it gives your opponent an idea of what your intentions are

and the third point, Tai Sabaki is used as a defense then offense, never ofense first. If it was an offensive tecnique, then it wouldnt be tai sabaki

[ninjalla]

We seem to have different opinions RFTAEC100

[RFTAEC100]

then just say it :P thats the comments page for ;)

[RFTAEC100]

to share ideas

[ninjalla]

The challenge in both dojo and outdoor situations is to control the distance from your opponent.

The risk of falling down is multiplied outdoors so the stepping technique is necessary.

[RFTAEC100]

Hmm good point

[ninpomasta111]

Good tutorial, and it's cool that it was done outside on an uneven surface.

[63dmcooke]

I typed in 'Tai sabaki tutorial by masked man in disused quarry ' and wasn't disappointed.

[ninjalla]

Luckily for us you didn't type "Jewish pirates" or the identity of our arch enemies would have been revealed.

[kemele]

LOL

[ninjalla]

@63dmcooke coincidence here!

I typed keyboard warrior's comments and was not disappointed too :)

[Shinobiriz]

So..Taisabaki is like a leg skip? on 6 direction?

[ninjalla]

Tai sabaki is moving the body. It even includes rolling etc.

[Shinobiriz]

Thanx.. :P

[killakali408650]

ohhh cool, just a suggestion try doing it with ankle weights in the beginning...then take them off, you will be faster...

[killakali408650]

uhh he is contradicting himself first he said you shouldn't the full step cuz ud run into stuff and then he is doing it??

[ninjalla]

You can do any step, as long as the leading leg feels the terrain and not shuffles.

[eddiedaskull]

enjoy it.Some good basic solid knowledge

[psimin]
