ninja is a modern term made popular through b-grade movies. they are actually Shinobi. if you could go back to ancient japan in the Tokugawa period you will find that this is what they were called.

yes you can see a real ninja. the ninja was not a ailien. ninjas is not that you see them in the movie they can be invisinble etc. that is only fail from the movie t.ex ( ninja assassin )
@qwertyuiop9841 In response to qwertyuiop9841, I say quite the opposite, I say that Japanese borrows a lot of culture from China and Korea. Japanese writing system itself is from China which got to their archipelago through Korea. Go ahead and watch ChosunNinja channel and see the Korean's version of Ninjutsu, called the Kanjabup and its history. ChosunNinja explains explain a lot of truth that his haters don't want to accept even though the 2 countries are next to each other.
one thing i would like to tell people...dressing as a farmer makes a lot of sense...your not much of a ninja if your jumping around mid day in all black doing all sorts of fancy moves...an average farmer would make sense pulling a cart full of "tools" then when the time comes either slaughter everything in sight or get access too someplace on the mountain side as a "farmer"
If anyone wants to train I offer lessons in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu, as well as German broadsword, Akijutsu and ShotoKan Karate. Send me a message. I have seventeen years of active experience, and many, many hours or training to understand the mechanics of these styles. Great video by the way.
I've trained in ninjutsu for 12 years and am a 6th ryu. I know some of the past of ninjutsu and a few ninjutsu secrets. If anyone would like to learn the true past of ninjutsu, please contact me.
i think most of the use of wepons they did on video where awesome but the katana how they moved it i dont really think its the best my granny could do better but i guess they dont move it too much to dont cut the other.
Haven't practiced in a while. Shidoshi is the term. I sense some animosity in your tone. I apologize if you assumed I was being arogant. I just hoped my info would be helpful to you. The Japanese Ninja has a fascinating history. Too much to convey on a comment page. Look up 7 schools of bujinkan. Thanks.
Um, it did not say *No Ninjas Were Harmed In The Making Of This* so that man must be on trial for the murdering of other Ninjas. [I made this comment when i was drunk so i apollogise]
Ninjas are the most powerful force known to man, with the exception of black holes. Scientists right now are in hot debate about which is more powerful: ninjas or black holes.
So... Just reading the comment war, felt the need to put my two cents in... Not all ninjas Killed people all the time, and would rarely need weapons. They were used for recon and intelligence as well, negotiations etc. They disguised themselves as whatever was effective and subtle, if it was as a farmer, so be it. That would help them pass through one village to the next. Besides, anything in the hands of a capable martial artist is a weapon, and can be used as such. Many weapons were tools!!
Well they were bit too stylish but otherwise I think it's a fairly accurate picture of them from what I've heard and read. Although never heard that they had poison on their Shurikens since those were more used as a distraction, but again it's not suprising of course.
I've trained in many things, own knives, have used guns, and are used to using almost all of these in real conditions. BUT if some dude in a ninja outfit jumped out of a shadow speaking Japanese and was holding a weapon i would RUN LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER lmao
@lafucil I think you mean 63 Samurai, since Ninja victims either don't survive or they wouldn't have known it was a Ninja that attacked them in the first place.
Ninja's were best for recon...their main objectives was remain in stealth and evade contact...many myths and legends even have warriors of the past "flying" so to speak...so the only way to really know the past is to travel back into the past *_*...till then...it is all speculation
cool vid, though the statements you make are pretty far from the truth ^^ like the 'would disguise themselves as farmers'. read a history book, only samurai were allowed to carry weapons, thus the ninja not being part of the military couldn't carry spears and swords around, in some cases not even get their hands on them or train with them. and shuriken are not throwing stars but any thrown weapon, any piece of metal actually, spikes, needles, etc. sincerely yours, a disguised farmer.
@Xenobiarch sounds like you need to read a history book, chum. This samurai were the only ones allowed to carry weapons only started around the time of the Edo Period beginning with Toyotomi's sword hunt of the late 16th century. Ninja were active thru-out the Sengoku Period - the warring state period and places like Iga-Ueno were autonomous until about 1582 when they were crushed by Oda Nobunaga.
@RoninDave this is how our shidōshi put it. never heard anything about disguising as farmers before. and even if so, shuriken still aren't just 'throwing stars'. and no one is quite sure when the ninjas were active, or even what was real and what was myth before Dr Masaaki Hatsumi sama brought 'ninjutsu' in to the public eye. so I doubt that any hidden knowledge has been passed your way. sincerely yours, a practitioner of bujinkan budô taijutsu.
@Xenobiarch what people often get confused about was how long the samurai era was. They go back to about 9th century to the late 19th century. During that time there were significant changes in culture, military, and government. As for Ninja, the two areas they were known to exist were semi-autonomous areas during the Warring State Period and as such they made for good mercenaries not originally being tied to any one daimyo. In the Edo Period, they mainly spies Shinobi for the Edo government.
@Xenobiarch the classic image of the ninja being an assassin, thief, and sabatuer was not needed in the edo period when there were no wars. All that was needed was government spying to make sure no one was plotting against the shogunate. The Warring States period is when their services would have been most needed. Ninja did exist but were often called by different names.
@jamesglory1 lol! shurikens at dusk! I'm not arguing about Ninja history which is shrouded in mystery but about Japanese history in general which many ninja "experts" seem to be ignorant about. I need to get around to doing tutorials on Japanese history one of these days.
@RoninDave no, generally ninja were farmers. So, regardless of wether they could carry a sword or a spear or whatever, they probably couldn't afford one, that is why they used sickles etc. they already had them.
@RoninDave You owned all these guys with real History and solid arguments. I can't understand how people continue to insist. A "I want to be a blind man" effect from movies from 80's? Oh Lord!!!!!!
@RoninDave u were right about them being disguised as farmers they did it so that they could carry the sickles and other farming tools and use them as weapons
@Xenobiarch. My history book says anyone could carry a weapon including a sword to protect themselfves from bandits. It was ONLY the samurai who could wear two swords.
@Xenobiarch Weapons carrying - it depends on the period of history. I'm with RoninDave. Before Hideyoshi's sword hunt anyone & everyone carried weapons, The Central government didn't have the means to quash the riots so the peasants / monks took what they thought they were entiltled to. Hideyoshi sought to put a stop to their ability to riot by confiscating their weapons. This did not stop merchants from carrying weapons though. They had their money to protect and could bribe the officals.
@Xenobiarch From what I was taught by a Ninjitsu instructor. In early Ninja (Japanese Ninja) history. Ninjas were peasants, or lower class. They were farmers, mostly. The kasuri-gama weapon is a farm tool. They would toss the ball (weight into the stocks or crops. Loop them, pull them close, then hack them with the sickle. Also, (chuko) climbing claws, were used for carring bundles of hay.
@redsiren100 oh this is a old one. 'ninjutsu' instructor? that term hasn't been in use for quite some time now. so you practice bujinkan budo taijutsu or genbukan ninpo bugei? and yes, that's exactly my point. weapons weren't allowed so the ninja crafted them out of farming tools.
@redsiren100 Then your Ninja "Teacher" is a fraud. Ninja were not farmers they were samurai, They had to names, for example Hanzo Hattori has two names and was from a samurai class, Ninja were samurai as they had two names common for a samurai clan. Also your japanese spelling is wrong its not Chuko it's Shuko (しゅこ).
@chrisgeorgegray I have to disagree with the ninja being samurai. samurai were somewhat bound to bushido which the ninja didn't follow and which is the exact reason they were used. and being nameless, well that just sounds like something of a movie. soke hatsumi has a name doesn't he? and you can't get any more ninja than him : D and he most certainly is no samurai.
@Xenobiarch In the old times i mean, ninja wouldn't have had a SURNAME however a first name. The topic of Bushido is actually shrouded in much mystery, and its very existence is questionable. If you ask soke Hatsumi he will clarify this it is common fact to those who actually know ninja history. Please tell me your not one of these people who believe that ninja were farmers?
@chrisgeorgegray well no-one at my dojo is a farmer as far as I know, but I don't think it would make much difference even if they were. there's nothing even remotely 'shrouded in mystery' about bushido either. it sounds like you've learned your 'actual ninja history' from a japanese cartoon. questioning the existence of bushido is like questioning the existence of taoism. people still follow the philosophy today. ^^
ps.your japanese spelling is wrong, it's tekagi-shuko (手かぎ手虎) ;>
@Xenobiarch Please you do not read english well do you? I'm not remotely saying that anyone in your ninja class is farmers I am saying that this modern hollywood misconception that ninja were commoners. No if you actually look deep into historical evidence Bushido's main publicity in historical documents was WWII. Please i am aware i was simply writing it in Hiragana for the more less able japanese students. Please present to me some evidence that ninja were not samurai? any historical documents
@chrisgeorgegray I never said anything about samurai. I said it doesn't matter if you're a farmer or a samurai. we wear o-yoroi sometimes during practice too, social class is irrelevant in this conversation. what you're saying is that no one has any proof of anything, including you. and yet somehow you are right about everything? contradict yourself much?
@chrisgeorgegray the art is deception. that's what ninja are good at, can we agree on that? acting like you know everything and are better and smarter than everyone else only takes you further away from the truth. yeah yeah, everyone knows hollywood ninja are bullshit, no great revelation there. don't base your argument on thinking that everyone else thinks that ninja throw fireballs and turn invisible.
@chrisgeorgegray to add; all historical documents on the early ninja would also be based on pure assumption, pretty much what you're doing here. see, there's the deception thing again. it was somewhat a secret art back in the early days. you can check the definition for 'secret'. it means you wont find the truth in a book. go to a certified dojo, not a bullshit american 'ninjutsu' dojo. an actual bujinkan dojo. practice a few years, with your eyes and ears open. then we can have this argument.
@Xenobiarch So what your telling me then is all ninja items are based on assumption, including the ones you have put forth to me? corrupt dojo's are everywhere, a simple test to varify your claims about being a Bujinkan student, would you class ninjutsu as a martial art?
Really? I have a book called Bushido Shoshinsu and it was written in the 1600s about the code of Bushido for knights by Taeda (something). If you want quotes as proof, I'll get my book and give some quotes.
@Xenobiarch many samurai were ninjas people forget that. and ninjas were not ment to fight usually they were ment to send orders to people in letters and so on. people seem not to know why alot of ninjas have ranged weapons its for the rare assassination but its actually used to keep people back or away so they can get away and avoid conflict, if a ninja never gets his hands dirty in blood than hes doing a great job.
@DrSpyda well some ninjutsu schools also train some samurai arts ;D But yeah theyre not only for killing samurais, they were used for war, they were used for assassination, they were used for spying and more.... ;D
@Xenobiarch Sorry, but any one could carry a sword. Only the samurai carried two swords. You should read up on Japan history. As for the ninjato (the straight blade ninjs sword) it "historically" did not exist. The ninja were often too poor to obtain a sword. Those that did often found them discarded on battle fields the samurai fought on.
@EviLlDrago I agree the Ninja-to did not exist. Thats all Hollywood. As for who could carry swords, according to martial arts champion Mark Dacascos on the documentary "Samurai", he stated the samurai were the only ones allowed to carry two swords. Antony Cummins, co-author of "True Path of the Ninja" also says any one could carry a sword but only the samurai were allowed to carry two swords.
@5564keith well i am doing Ninjutsu (Art of the Ninjas... full name: Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu) and i watched a documentary, and both say only Samurais were allowed to carry weapons.. its not the talk of a sword... its the talk of any weapons as Samurais did not only have the Katana as weapon. They also had Yari,Bow and so on. So Ninjas were not allowed to carry ANY weapon. But lets stop quarrel, its just ending bad ;D
@Xenobiarch this is a show put on for tourists.....ninjas are a myth made up for tourism and gullible people who want to study some mysterious martial art and believe manga comics
Ninjas are real, dude. They were important for Tokugawa Ieyasu's survival and his eventual coronation as the shogun of Japan after Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Oda Nubunaga executed a ninja hunt, Tokugawa had ninjas to help him save his family and allow him to survive after being overpowered by Oda and having to flee.
@kendosendo ?!?!? Ninjas are real... this may be a show but Ninjas are real.... im even studying their techniques (or: Im going to Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu aka. Ninjutsu)
@Xenobiarch actually, Ninjas really diguised as farmes,... Hira Shurikens,Knives and Kusari's (sickle) were normal tools for farmers... in the old japan everyone who wasnt a samurai wasnt allowed to carry a weapon, thats actually the biggest reason.... and also their houses had lots of secret exits, thats why they thought Ninjas would use magic to get invisible...
@Layz613 first of all the ninja would be the ones who don't flaunt their skills.
secondly; what good is your gun when you're just walking and someone suddenly stabs you in the back of your neck.
if guns were superior to blades in every way wouldn't the inventor of the first rifle pretty much have ruled the world then?
yes I agree, if your target is just standing and whirling his blades 30 meters away then guns are vastly superior. but to do that you would have be a complete idiot eh?
@Navlek79 hellz yeah, farming is your part time once you become full time... when someone asks "why you wake up in the afternoons?" you answer i polish and sharpen my john deer every night XD
It is very funny that every time we see "ninjutsu" demonstration, ninjas are shown more as "warriors" than assasins. Samurai were warriors, they learned warfare and strategy, fighting was their specialy - NOT a ninja specialty. Ninja were specialists of assasinations, their traning were VERY different from Samurai training.
Beware anyone claiming to be a ninja. If someone is truly a ninja, they would never claim it. I'm not a ninja...

@Xenobiarch the classic image of the ninja being an assassin, thief, and sabatuer was not needed in the edo period when there were no wars. All that was needed was government spying to make sure no one was plotting against the shogunate. The Warring States period is when their services would have been most needed. Ninja did exist but were often called by different names.

@RoninDave and btw you got some nice videos uploaded, not including this one, I very much enjoyed them. have a nice day.

@RoninDave seems like you guys are ready to fight!
The history of 'Ninja' is shrouded in a lot of mystery, owing also, perhaps to the legends and fearfilled stories and propaganda of that early time.
Great videos brother. thanks.

@jamesglory1 lol! shurikens at dusk! I'm not arguing about Ninja history which is shrouded in mystery but about Japanese history in general which many ninja "experts" seem to be ignorant about. I need to get around to doing tutorials on Japanese history one of these days.

johan965731120 1 year ago
@RoninDave no, generally ninja were farmers. So, regardless of wether they could carry a sword or a spear or whatever, they probably couldn't afford one, that is why they used sickles etc. they already had them.

@RoninDave u were right about them being disguised as farmers they did it so that they could carry the sickles and other farming tools and use them as weapons

@Xenobiarch. My history book says anyone could carry a weapon including a sword to protect themselfves from bandits. It was ONLY the samurai who could wear two swords.

@Xenobiarch which bit? anyone could carry a weapon or only samurai could wear two swords?
davep118 1 year ago
@Xenobiarch Weapons carrying - it depends on the period of history. I'm with RoninDave. Before Hideyoshi's sword hunt anyone & everyone carried weapons, The Central government didn't have the means to quash the riots so the peasants / monks took what they thought they were entiltled to. Hideyoshi sought to put a stop to their ability to riot by confiscating their weapons. This did not stop merchants from carrying weapons though. They had their money to protect and could bribe the officals.

"This did not stop merchants from carrying weapons though."
but it DID for the most part hamper their ability to carry LONG SWORDS.

@Xenobiarch From what I was taught by a Ninjitsu instructor. In early Ninja (Japanese Ninja) history. Ninjas were peasants, or lower class. They were farmers, mostly. The kasuri-gama weapon is a farm tool. They would toss the ball (weight into the stocks or crops. Loop them, pull them close, then hack them with the sickle. Also, (chuko) climbing claws, were used for carring bundles of hay.
redsiren100 11 months ago
@redsiren100 oh this is a old one. 'ninjutsu' instructor? that term hasn't been in use for quite some time now. so you practice bujinkan budo taijutsu or genbukan ninpo bugei? and yes, that's exactly my point. weapons weren't allowed so the ninja crafted them out of farming tools.
Xenobiarch 11 months ago
@redsiren100 Then your Ninja "Teacher" is a fraud. Ninja were not farmers they were samurai, They had to names, for example Hanzo Hattori has two names and was from a samurai class, Ninja were samurai as they had two names common for a samurai clan. Also your japanese spelling is wrong its not Chuko it's Shuko (しゅこ).
chrisgeorgegray 10 months ago
@chrisgeorgegray I have to disagree with the ninja being samurai. samurai were somewhat bound to bushido which the ninja didn't follow and which is the exact reason they were used. and being nameless, well that just sounds like something of a movie. soke hatsumi has a name doesn't he? and you can't get any more ninja than him : D and he most certainly is no samurai.
Xenobiarch 9 months ago
@Xenobiarch In the old times i mean, ninja wouldn't have had a SURNAME however a first name. The topic of Bushido is actually shrouded in much mystery, and its very existence is questionable. If you ask soke Hatsumi he will clarify this it is common fact to those who actually know ninja history. Please tell me your not one of these people who believe that ninja were farmers?
chrisgeorgegray 9 months ago
@chrisgeorgegray well no-one at my dojo is a farmer as far as I know, but I don't think it would make much difference even if they were. there's nothing even remotely 'shrouded in mystery' about bushido either. it sounds like you've learned your 'actual ninja history' from a japanese cartoon. questioning the existence of bushido is like questioning the existence of taoism. people still follow the philosophy today. ^^
ps.your japanese spelling is wrong, it's tekagi-shuko (手かぎ手虎) ;>

@Xenobiarch Please you do not read english well do you? I'm not remotely saying that anyone in your ninja class is farmers I am saying that this modern hollywood misconception that ninja were commoners. No if you actually look deep into historical evidence Bushido's main publicity in historical documents was WWII. Please i am aware i was simply writing it in Hiragana for the more less able japanese students. Please present to me some evidence that ninja were not samurai? any historical documents
chrisgeorgegray 9 months ago
@chrisgeorgegray I never said anything about samurai. I said it doesn't matter if you're a farmer or a samurai. we wear o-yoroi sometimes during practice too, social class is irrelevant in this conversation. what you're saying is that no one has any proof of anything, including you. and yet somehow you are right about everything? contradict yourself much?
Xenobiarch 9 months ago
@chrisgeorgegray the art is deception. that's what ninja are good at, can we agree on that? acting like you know everything and are better and smarter than everyone else only takes you further away from the truth. yeah yeah, everyone knows hollywood ninja are bullshit, no great revelation there. don't base your argument on thinking that everyone else thinks that ninja throw fireballs and turn invisible.
Xenobiarch 9 months ago
@chrisgeorgegray to add; all historical documents on the early ninja would also be based on pure assumption, pretty much what you're doing here. see, there's the deception thing again. it was somewhat a secret art back in the early days. you can check the definition for 'secret'. it means you wont find the truth in a book. go to a certified dojo, not a bullshit american 'ninjutsu' dojo. an actual bujinkan dojo. practice a few years, with your eyes and ears open. then we can have this argument.
Xenobiarch 9 months ago
@Xenobiarch So what your telling me then is all ninja items are based on assumption, including the ones you have put forth to me? corrupt dojo's are everywhere, a simple test to varify your claims about being a Bujinkan student, would you class ninjutsu as a martial art?

Really? I have a book called Bushido Shoshinsu and it was written in the 1600s about the code of Bushido for knights by Taeda (something). If you want quotes as proof, I'll get my book and give some quotes.

@Xenobiarch many samurai were ninjas people forget that. and ninjas were not ment to fight usually they were ment to send orders to people in letters and so on. people seem not to know why alot of ninjas have ranged weapons its for the rare assassination but its actually used to keep people back or away so they can get away and avoid conflict, if a ninja never gets his hands dirty in blood than hes doing a great job.

@Xenobiarch Sorry, but any one could carry a sword. Only the samurai carried two swords. You should read up on Japan history. As for the ninjato (the straight blade ninjs sword) it "historically" did not exist. The ninja were often too poor to obtain a sword. Those that did often found them discarded on battle fields the samurai fought on.

@EviLlDrago I agree the Ninja-to did not exist. Thats all Hollywood. As for who could carry swords, according to martial arts champion Mark Dacascos on the documentary "Samurai", he stated the samurai were the only ones allowed to carry two swords. Antony Cummins, co-author of "True Path of the Ninja" also says any one could carry a sword but only the samurai were allowed to carry two swords.

@5564keith well i am doing Ninjutsu (Art of the Ninjas... full name: Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu) and i watched a documentary, and both say only Samurais were allowed to carry weapons.. its not the talk of a sword... its the talk of any weapons as Samurais did not only have the Katana as weapon. They also had Yari,Bow and so on. So Ninjas were not allowed to carry ANY weapon. But lets stop quarrel, its just ending bad ;D

Ninjas are real, dude. They were important for Tokugawa Ieyasu's survival and his eventual coronation as the shogun of Japan after Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Oda Nubunaga executed a ninja hunt, Tokugawa had ninjas to help him save his family and allow him to survive after being overpowered by Oda and having to flee.

@Xenobiarch actually, Ninjas really diguised as farmes,... Hira Shurikens,Knives and Kusari's (sickle) were normal tools for farmers... in the old japan everyone who wasnt a samurai wasnt allowed to carry a weapon, thats actually the biggest reason.... and also their houses had lots of secret exits, thats why they thought Ninjas would use magic to get invisible...

Ninja /play around with flashing blades
Random dude with a gun /aim from 30m away and shoot
isnt that simple?
Layz613 1 year ago
@Layz613 first of all the ninja would be the ones who don't flaunt their skills.
secondly; what good is your gun when you're just walking and someone suddenly stabs you in the back of your neck.
if guns were superior to blades in every way wouldn't the inventor of the first rifle pretty much have ruled the world then?
yes I agree, if your target is just standing and whirling his blades 30 meters away then guns are vastly superior. but to do that you would have be a complete idiot eh?

It is very funny that every time we see "ninjutsu" demonstration, ninjas are shown more as "warriors" than assasins. Samurai were warriors, they learned warfare and strategy, fighting was their specialy - NOT a ninja specialty. Ninja were specialists of assasinations, their traning were VERY different from Samurai training.
