TONFA TOOL TRAINING with SHINOBIMYSTIC

[onimas1]

you look like kickass XD nice video

[viattomat88]

@Shinobi1126 Maybe that's why he wears a mask lol too embarrassed

[ShinobiMystic]

@Shinobi1126 OUCH!!!, yeah you win. I think there is no question any ninja could pick up anything and use it as a weapon. I know this is not classical ninjutsu, or anything., this is YOUTUBE ha ha.

[99681655]

respxcet ninjas 

[99681655]

respect ninjas are great people one ninja vs 10 karate

ninjas=chechen power

[JoeyCZ100]

Verry good. I´m learning from this video : ) Good job

[hipelephant]

My wooden tonfas never last, the handles always come loose, so i bought a pair of fibre glass police tonfas which last. But i still have a go with oak tonfa. I've bought so many pairs of tonfa it's rediculous

[0gami1tto]

fucking okami music

[99681655]

@0gami1tto hi bro do u know name of music?

[JoeyCZ100]

Good job man : )

[Vatcommando]

Nice video. 

[rustynippl3]

after watching this video i started to taiste funny cullors so i punched a baby.

yes..... its ure crap video that made me kill a baby.

[sisca1968]

......Megaloman

[rosswoof]

Some interesting moves but my advice would be to unlock your footwork some more - make it lighter not anchored because you have some fast kicks when you go for it. If we have a match and I have a stick or sword you'd be as good as drunk. though ;-) keep posting - nice hand work.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks friend. I love these weapons. @rosswoof t

[FlareSaber]

great video. I have been wanting to get a set of tonfas so I can try and learn them...err well try to learn any martial art really. thanks for sharing. Also weird question but what is the dummy made of and how did you make it?

[jipruitt]

I train with tonfas and I can tell you have the basics down at least. Keep up the good work.

[maccus17]

Great video, man!

[maccus17]

Great video! Keep posting more, Shinobi Mystic!

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching friend.@m the tonfa are my favorite weapon. accus17

[tapoutcampion111]

its jungle ninja

[samuraiwarrior1988]

ya need more hip in those kicks!!

[JeffSims009]

is this a joke video? I really can't tell.

[ShinobiMystic]

Na this is me training, laughable at best right. @JeffSims009

[JeffSims009]

@ShinobiMystic It's just so cheesy, and that ridiculous mask- I thought you were just making fun. Not to mention the audio....

[noraac]

why did you put a belt on the dummy?

[ChakaGon]

Tonfas are for girls.

[Aeir100]

Quit insulting the guy. Personally, I know next to nothing about martial arts beyond common sense and a few self defense moves taught to me by a member of the national guard as a demonstration. To those of you who didn't insult him, thank you for doing something productive (Or, at the very least, not unproductive.)

I wish I could say more, but I can only make this comment so long. Keep at it, (advice you probably don't need), and thanks for posting. I've been interested in tonfa for a while.

[ShinobiMystic]

@Aeir100 I have other tonfa video's on the basics too. Thanks for watching friend.

[MarioGiMo]

@ShinobiMystic I personally came to think tonfa is the most apropiate weapon for melee defense even if you don't have much of training, it's kinda having your hands reinforced ....

Good video and music thanks

[Amukahok]

Lulz, Okami. <3

[Electr0cution]

Do you alwys run around with tonfas in your bag or what ?

Go Shotokan Karate, go TeaKwonDo !

[maccus17]

Love your videos, man! I have a question though if you don't mind, what's the length of your tonfa, and do you know where to purchase some real tonfa ( I only have the training tonfa and they've broke after a couple of years)? Any help would be highly appreciated!.

[BankheadBreaker]

Where can I find an honest website to by real, battle ready tonfa?

[panchothechihuaha]

hey umm i noticed theres some differences between the regular police tonfa and the ones ur using , does the ones ur using are lighter or better?

[muaythaikindaguy]

Neat video- looks like a pretty fun training area too. Two questions: One, what's the song playing? I really like it. Second, I noticed at 1:47 when you went for that front kick, you dropped your hands a bit wide and low. I'm not too familiar with tonfa- looking to get into them in the future- so is this a defensive move versus weapons? I'm only asking because I used to do that when sparring unarmed and I'd get my head boxed, haha.

Good video man. Peace.

[ShinobiMystic]

@muaythaikindaguy the song is shinobi by Dream Dance Alliance, and I guess I dropped my gaurd as a block for a low block. My other hand should be higher ready to protect.

[DEATHLOCKGRIM]

jus saying dude if u limite urself thats all u will kno

[ShinobiMystic]

@ElmStreetCrusader No, and I have been training more with this weapon since then.

[DEATHLOCKGRIM]

its cool n all but ur one sided dude if i was to fight u i would take out ur right side first and for gabrienne86 tonfa r chinese japs jus took the idea

[ShinobiMystic]

@DEATHLOCKGRIM Alright dude. I am sorry if have offended you. I just want to train and learn.

[bswantz]

This proves you can not learn martial arts from watching action movies!

[MGDinoSan]

Wow u got a cool ninja outfit.. lol

[gabrienne86]

I have never used the Tonfa... It was never introduced in my TKD training... I guess that is a weapon with too strong of a Japanese affiliation to be taught in a Korean style. However I do admire how your arms become like armor when holding them... forgive me for sounding like a nerd but it's almost as if you were punching somebody witha Gundam fist!... Yeah I said gundam...you got a problem you haters?!

[ShinobiMystic]

No way dude, yeah these are awesome defensive and offensive weapons. You can block almost anything, while dish it out with these strong block of wood. Mine is oak wood and the handle is getting loose. I have seen the ones police use are like super resin will never shatter or break.

[MGDinoSan]

Yep just like what Hibari does in Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

[Ygor45]

Not that it's not interesting, however, techniques are done on both sides... and those warm ups can also be used as slashes, so personally I would not leave my arm so close to the body while performing those slashes ;)

[ShinobiMystic]

at which part? I think I was trying to develop familiarity with the weapons ability to strike and contort around the body.

[Ygor45]

At 3:10 when you begin to do the warmup drills, those need to have a bigger space ;)

[ShinobiMystic]

do you mean between me and the weapon so put my arms farther away from my body?

[Ygor45]

Yep. exactly what I meant. The weapon that is attacking should always travel to it's full potential, even two more inches can make a big difference in a fight. Not to mention that it will help you to do more stronger and powerful slashes with tonfa ;)

[seekerofvision678]

hey Mike..ie Shinobi san...

shinobi san you should show how the tonfa is used to strangle your opponents from behind or as the shove attack with body weight concentrated in one point holding the tonfa both hands gives a bigger sneak up and dispose possibilety for a shinobi such as you are^^

i have no doubts in your capabilety to show that^^

[ShinobiMystic]

yeah good thinking I can do that, stay tuned.

[lukimusprime5]

is it bad if my mom took away my throwing stars and everything cause now i cant practice

[belzach]

dude awesome video ... i am about to get my tonfa ... and later another one hehehe... and i would do my besto to train as hard as you ... btw can you tell me the song's name plz is cool :P

[ShinobiMystic]

This is Shinobi by Dream Dance Alliance. Yes I have a few other Tonfa videos in my martial arts weapons playlist friend. Thanks for watching.

[agtjeff]

Nice work ... thxs for your videos

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching friend.

[Perfectlyunnormal]

I've been using the tonfa as my primary weapon for ten years now, and I have to say great video. And for those who are interested in it, its an amazing weapon. The best way to learn is of course off an instructor, simply because books and videos can't correct your errors. If you really want to learn from a book tho look up Fumio Demura, his books helped me. Well keep up the good work man, and hope the advice helps people wanting to learn.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks so much bro. Yeah I love the tonfa and still work to refine my technique. Thanks for the source and I do hope it helps. Thank you so much for watching friend.

[suck1000eggs]

my primary weapon'sy fist but when your up against multiple people (more than 3 "big guys" i'd say) you need alternatives, batons are great alternatives, as they are blunt instruments of pain that can kill but you use them because you wont kill with them. If the world turned to anarchy my primary weapon would probally be an m9 bayonet and then a baton (probally the extendable baton). I love watching tonfa vids, some of these guys can move them pretty fast!

[ShinobiMystic]

Dude sick user name. Thanks for watching. The tonfa are awsome weapons.

[yToshimitsu]

honestly, I noticed the discaimer, however I am currently unable to get instruction at the moment and I do want to learn how to use these things. any tips? safer beginner techniques and routines? please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Ninjapit]

Before you roll those things someone already get you down with some punches..i think they're low as weapons..

[eelwerdna07]

i have to disagree, think of the range of the weapons vs the range of a normal persons arms. to be up front, who ever was fighting unarmed against the person with the tonfas, would just get messed up. im pretty sure that any hits that connect to the head with the tonfa would be a one hit ko.

[ShinobiMystic]

yeah I agree a strike to the head with a tonfa will definitely crack the skull wide open.

[suck1000eggs]

Or alternatively and for your opponent to experience a faster death, why not a hard strike to the trachea? thats a put down move. Hey why dont I see in tofa vids people jabbing the jugular notch, special forces use strikes to the jugular notch because it puts people on the ground and they cant breath and if they push down it can kill them. (its an awesome move as it requires very little effort and is a defensive/offensive move.

[ShinobiMystic]

yes you can do that that the end of the tonfa fits nicely in there too.

[BabelOn4infinity]

this is illegal but not guns? huh?

[ShinobiMystic]

yes Bujinkan is the most authentic form of ninjutsu however they do not use the Tonfa, instead they use an array of other weapons. But I remembered the tonfa from my old training.

[bezerka]

tonfa are great , both offensive and defensive, a mix , its flexible , you can also grapple.. i wish we could carry them on the streets..sigh..

[ShinobiMystic]

yes I know they are great, one of my favorite martial art weapons.

[bezerka]

well i gotta give props to you for creating helpfull vids, really shows, the people who talk shitzer and the people like you who do something for martial artists.

tonfa should be made legal to use in streets lol..

[ShinobiMystic]

thanks.

[Hitman715]

Hi, I see that you are familiarized with the tonfa and nice moves by the way.

Could you please tell me what is the best style of tonfa to use or do you know some good website about tonfas? I already searched a lot and found little information about the different tonfa styles and what are they more suitable for...one more question, what is the average weigth of a tonfa?

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching friend.

If you look to the right in the related video list, the videos by Hempev have been really helpful in my training. I like the traditional okinawan karate forms for the Tonfa. I think you should choose a style that best fits your body style and dynamics.

Avergae weight, depends on what it is made out of, wood, metal?

[Hitman715]

I asked my father,who is very skilled in building the finest things out of a bare piece of wood, to make me a wooden tonfa. I showed him several images of tonfa and he made a prototype out of pine wood.

I wanted to know the average weight of a tonfa, so that when my father makes the definitive pair of tonfas i will be using, he makes them with the correct weigth, not too heavy, making them hard to maneuver and not too light, making them lack in strength

[ShinobiMystic]

I see, I don't know Weight: 510 g is what I have found. But make sure the weight is even along it if you can.

[Hitman715]

Thanks a lot for your advice.

I wish you good luck with your trainings

[conz000]

Tonfa are incredible weapons. I love how they are so effective at defending but in an instant can extend and reach far beyond to deliver lightning fast strikes and devastating thrusts. I can't wait to begin training with these. Well done Shinobimystic!

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks friend, these are fantastic offensive and defensive weapons exactly.

I wish you the best with your training, did you get elbow pads? Like in my Nintaijutsu Tonfa tool video

[dizzyrav3r1]

song name pleeze

[ShinobiMystic]

this is Shinobi by Dream Dance Alliance

[shadowman45810]

do you study ninjutsu because this is a karate weapon and those blocks are from karate i'm a little confused?!

[ShinobiMystic]

yes I have studied Karate, TaeKwondo, and Ninjutsu. Here I am using a blend of tactics.

[nelsomarrodrigo]

que merda eh essa rapaz, parece minha filha brincando, com o irmao..........

[Ajerboa]

flailing/ swinging strikes and traditional hand position strikes dominate your techique. There is much to be shown holding the Tonfa in other grips- using the handle to strike, hook or pin your attacker. Grip changes are essential to master with tonfa use.

[homoporno]

shinobi mystic u are god!

[YOHUTEI]

＞very coll(*´∀`*)　tonfa is very usefull i am japanese Σ(・ω・｀ ) `kiai` is very important(*´∀`*)

[seekerofvision678]

food for thought, as a shinobi as you are,

umm wouldent it be fun to show how to disarm someone using a tonfa against you or how to use it against other weapons? just a thought keep up the good work^^

[eugenmichailow]

i prefer the bo, i think its easier to handle, and it has a bigger distance, but i think all martial arts weapons have their own plus and minus, so your training vid looks pro to me^^

[ShinobiMystic]

Check out my bojutusu and bo staff video's friend. I have quite a few. Thanks for watching this stuff though. I love training in martial arts weapons.

[richardwarlockwannab]

I have been working with Tonfa for a little over a year and change and the thing to remember is that it's a "brawler's" weapon. Efficient brutality over finesse. Grab, dislocate, block, and disable, are just a few things you can do with it. The Police use what is called the PR24, or Nightstick, though anymore they use a straight baton that extends or is spring loaded.

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes, the tonfa is an excellent defensive and offensive weapon.

[realityfighting]

damn kid...you are killing me. Ok you need to come train with my crew.

[ShinobiMystic]

Maybe one day. This is just some training. And basic concepts with this weapon.

[adho01]

poor technique with tonfa...if it were effective, the puppy should be in few sekonds destroyed

[ShinobiMystic]

Word, I was just training. Practice makes perfect. Ya know.

[bayareahyphyazn]

thats also called a baton right

[ShinobiMystic]

yes, police officers now use this weapon in their arsenal.

[purklefluff]

i love the tonfa, and always considered them to be a very 'pure' weapon; almost an extension of your body (unlike weapons such as the flail or nunchaku, which have an element of uncertainty and a moment without control whenever you strike something).

it sounds strange, but i think someone can get really good with nunchaku, but one can really 'know' the tonfa. there's a subtle difference between solid weapons (such as swords) and ones with chains or segmented parts.

good video.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching. I see what you mean about the weapon being solid and more able to be "known" I can use the Bo staff well but I cannot use the 3 section staff.

Thanks

[goten7085]

it look like our attacks were weak but good form

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes, I will continue to improve thanks for commenting.

[killertuna]

Thanks for the video, will incorporate some of your techniques in my tonfa training

[ShinobiMystic]

Yes, I wish you the best of luck with your training friend.

[lucdanielaubut]

cool vid cool moves but your going to either have to train against a real person or put arms on it

you will understand why fast moving arms without strength can still block any and all attacks if you'd watch a couple of my vid( thought aimless they may be at the moment)

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for the tips, I will consider wisely what you have said.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy these techniques.

[Piotrek830324]

Very Nice film my Friend!! :) I saw You have GPS back Your shoulder :) I would love to put more films. Take Care

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching.

[Jonoichi]

Are the bladed tonfa from Hellboy practical? And if so would you use them in the same style as you do the wooden ones?

[ShinobiMystic]

I think those arm blades are mad cool. They would have to be used a bit differently but the weapon is very much the same for most strikes.

[Ale7Returns]

cool but did the guy do a punch with the long side cus thats like the coolest feature other than the swing

[Bgildersleeve84]

awsome stuff

[tonywpt]

I actually just purchased some tonfa to practice with. This helps me out alot. Is it possible for you to post more tonfa instruction? Is it possible to post some tonfa instruction with audio instruction?

I see on your dummy that there is a lot of give and the tonfa just passes by it, what happens when you go up against something hard and it bounces back? Do you think a heavy bag is good for tonfa practice?

Thank you very much for posting.

[ShinobiMystic]

I think a heavy bag might be good for tonfa practice. Be careful of your wrist.

I will post more tonfa with audio.

[vonhismean]

I would like to see one on your day to day training whether a description or whatever, I read Stephen Hayes book and always wondered how long most people train. subbed

[ShinobiMystic]

Most of these videos are my training. But you mean a day in the life of ShinobiMystic kinda thing???

I like to take a day and focus on different apsects of training.

[vonhismean]

Just on average a day of training. Like for how long.

[ShinobiMystic]

Gosh the quality went down hill after I uploaded to youtube. That kinda sucks.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for your kind words, I know I got more muscle weight. I really love the song in this video it is called Shinobi my Dream Dance Alliance.

I like teaching with no or little words because youtube is world thing and not everyone speaks english and I figured this speaks to them more.

Do you ever get emails in another language I do sometimes.

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks, I love the tonfa's but haven't made a video about it till now.

[balletman]

Tonfas are a fun weapon to practice, and they are also very practical for self defense (police officers around the world still carry variations of the tonfa to this day, for example) Good video.

[Joel12965]

Tonfa is pretty cool, i still prefer the Sais :).

Good video as always!

[ShinobiMystic]

I'll make a Sai one like this.

[axonian]

that was really COOL nice!!!

[grkrage85]

To be honest i haven't been watching your videos for quite a while. I have to really commend you though, your form and techmique have noticably improved. I'm impressed brother

[ShinobiMystic]

Thanks for watching. I have been trying. Thats why I do this to learn and improve, share and meet other like minded individuals.

[orhanc1]

Nice demonstration! Have you changed the intro or is it just me?

[ShinobiMystic]

Brand new into for this summer!

[ShinobiMystic]

yeah, it is good to use one when your getting warmed up. Thanks for watching!

[JusUno1]

great vid if at all possible could you do a few more tonfa vids eventually i'm going to achive a hihg enough rank in my Tora-Ryu Bujitsu studies to where I'm allowed to choose my 4th weapon (between the nunchaku and tonfa) I've already decided to go with the tonfa and would like some early experience with it. Arigato Ggozaimasu!!!

[ShinobiMystic]

Sure, I will I love using the tonfa to hit the dummy. I will put up more Tonfa video's. With some sound next time.

[ForbiddenClay]

You make things look so simple for us newbies! Thank you! :)

[ShinobiStorm]

excellent video, you give some great tips on how to use the tonfa. 5 stars

[MOUNTAINOUS]

very cool to see this vid. i thought all of us and i gave dan in case hi is in the intro and forbidden clay and i said we all use nintai intro after title then our own so we all have same beginning then our own. are you cool with that mike. nintai then our intro. also is it so muddy you have to wear boots still instead of tabi. very wet here and snowing all night and right now. my yard and town are covered in a fresh blanket of snow. and so cold. cool aplications with dummy. 5 stars

[ForbiddenClay]

Jesse mentioned something about it.. but I haven't looked at it yet.

[ShinobiMystic]

Yeah I'll start using the nintai then my own logo/into thing. Yea I've been wearing my tabi more. But I think it was supposed to rain the day I filmed this.
