I Have studied Togakure Ryu but I consider myself to be a Ninja not because of those studies, but because of my background, I was a soldier for 14 years so have my military tarining. some of which was with special forces and included close target reconnaisance and tailing targets etc I have belts in various martial arts including Ju jitsu, Aikido, Aikijutsu, Karate. And I have studied various weapons including sword. So I'm sort of a Ninja :)
ahahahaha I love how he goes fro his "kuji" book as a guide!!! very amusing as much of the info is also... incorrect... Just another one who has not done enough physical research, as in training from a master for many years haha I love these entertaining videos because eh actually seems to think he is correct
@TSOAS2008 You've proved Kuji 9 nicely - the bigger the brightness the bigger the darkness - I'll quote "Look around is there evidence of Authentic beauty and good, brightness, does it attract negativity and darkness" the answer is yep and here you are, trying your best to align yourself and grow some self fame from a very established, trackable tradition, let's face it that's what you're after... Otherwise you'd be trying to de fame all styles not just the most popular mysterious one......
Respond to this video... Kuji also works much differently to what you've explained and much much deeper, those books you're reading are a great introduction to a very simple, first step into understanding the art... But you're missing many elements - Kuji invokes and reminds you of a "feeling" a "capacity" which triggers throughout the body releasing the energy built up over years of study... Lesson 1 - the ninja kuji actually came from Tibet and china time to research there.. Good luck
@Filmsource im not trying to say how to, or go deeper, i am trying to explain the basics and that its not ninja. If people want to learn Kuji they need to go to a qualified person. My aim is to dispell ninja myths!
@TSOAS2008 well time to do some more research before you go attempting such things you know little on.... Sorry just being honest... Good luck with it all...........

If u ask a Tendai or Shugendo buddhist priest if the kuji has anything 2 do with nin-jutsu they will tell u no..They don`t wanna associate there practices n traditions with ninja..They also say that the kuji is just a small part of the gomo fire cerarmony..And I believe that the kuji was firt devoloped and used in the taoist tradition.But I heard it might b from either tibet or india..The bujinkan ryu kukishin ryu has it`s own kuji.They used it as a means 2 psyke them selves up for a battle..
hi mate, thanks for the comments. Well it seems that his Kuji and otake's kuji are the same, i do not see a problem with his work. Otake sensei told me and its in his book, that kuji is a way to protection and it is "magic" so the guys info seems real enough, but this is only research, i have not trained in Kuji
or just read a lot of books on spirituality ,i REAly really prefer Stephen k hayes nd bujinkan people or real legit people. all the stuff that is REAL in his books R kind of from the well known resources nd rest seems like he filled the gaps by himself. again don want to talk badly, but it just seems too suspiciuosly easy in is books, cause such big secret requier tantric initiation. so i wonder how much of what he is talking matches with what yu heart from ninjutsu historian or peple in japan
hey, antony I have Just discovered yure chanel and al ur reasearch work its absolutly FANTASTIC i know its legitimate, im going to buy that book nd the one about the assassin , uv met the best ninjutsu historians nd been to japan, but i've Got to tell you im not soo shure about the credentials of that man who wrote the majutsu book, i have all 4 books on kuji nd know his stuf for quite while(3 year or more) stuff he explains do make sense , but wonder if its legit , if he is Inititiated into it
I remember reading about this in one of Hatsumi's books when I was a kid. It seems today the Bujink* either doesn't teach these esoteric ninja "arts" anymore, they hide it, or save it for supposed advanced levels. Correct me if wrong but it seems that way. thanks.
Otake Sensei seems to claim it as part of his school and he made a connectoion with his ninjutsu and it. But i do not think he said it was ninjutsu, he said how people do not understand it today. I do not think that ninjutsu is connected to Kuji Kiri at all, i just think that Kujikiri was used by the Japanese people of the time, samurai included. but think that many people see that now
wow this verey good i use kuji in and kuji kiri verey wies use both and not be play with spiritial side can help or can use for evil learning beath crecetly and use kuji kiri that magic spell casing have law to it what every you send out there three forld law it wies by it @c4nn37 might know little but not all self hypnosis talk about on throught pain i do self hypnsis if other med dont work time beathing right and block pain i did for long time but only really use for channling chi
You are using the Kuji-kiri? Hhaha...yes, for sure.
Magik (or magic, as you write he he)? Again, yes for sure.
I might know little about hypnosis?? I wrote a manual 10 years ago ( no, I did not publish it, but I had two offers that I rejected) on hypnosis, which contains everything you need to know to start.
@C4nn37 you have no point kuji kiri or in still have spiritiual side of ninjutsu what make you think it hyponis when have historical fact you dont have right mind set and chicken to face me an your firens ninjaerbuster youll two are jokes an try shame
mr cummens i hope you know he is firend of my too take my vices stop while you still have head to think
@kissrdbc Yo u have the wrong mind,heart,body,n soul to even b attemtping any nin-jutsu practices.Ur uneducated u spell like u didn`t go past1st grade.U make terrible videos with afat semi retarded GF.U film inside of a dirty disgusting house with hole all over the walls.U should have sum pride n self respect n get a job n stop being a leach on society collecting welfare.N pay4sum lessons with a teacher.Hatsumi wood never except u as a student.Ur not the type of person he wants training with us
@computron808 as a practitioner of buddhism and daoism as well as ninpo,I feel very strongly that you give the ninpo community and the rest of the esoteric community a very bad name.
@computron808 I felt like you were denegrating someone in a way that was wrong,honestly i was a little upset and should not have said anything but i did,maybe you could have been alittle nicer to that person. there is so much negitivity in the world right now and unfortunately for myself i let it get to me some times. just look over your statements and ask yourself if that was right.
@Forgedinsuffering Your totally rite.. I was wrong for saying any of that.. I was angry at that guy. I can`t even remember why... I let my anger and ego get the best of me...
@computron808 im glad you rsponded positive or i would have just ignored you,i generally stay out of all these arguments but just like you said my anger and ego got the best of me.
@Forgedinsuffering It`s funny how most people can`t admit they were wrong. Making decisions while in a negative mindstate is in my opinion always the worst decisions one can make. Cause when your feeling anger or fear your not thinking straight.Someone once told me "Never make a decision based on fear"... And I believe that to be so rite..
@computron808 yep,so hard to controlle our emotional minds without purification(training) and not likely without a spiritual guide,which we westerners generally just dont understand so I understand the frustrations on both sides of this issue.there just are not enough qualified spiritual guides to meet the demands of those who are fed up with our extreem materialistic society.its a huge problem that needs a viable solution asap.
@kissrdbc N u obviously don`t read or maybe u don`t no how2read.Any Hatsumi books.U have no idea what nin-jutsu is all about.Here`s a lesson4ya.It`s bettering ur self.Not reallying on others to survive.Like being on welfare cause u don`t wanna werk.It`s about mastering everything u do in life.Or trying to.N perfecting the things u already do.N educating urself.No all of ur weaknesses n over come them.If u can`t read or spell learn.Always b a student n study everything around u.Don`t ever give up
@computron808 i dont give up one thing your one dont know to madvest it im you are nothing about kuji ini or kuji kiri and i have money more then you sorry just you sad man little sad man
@kissrdbc U have no idea with what u playin with.Until u have reached a level in ur training with a teacher.U will have no idea what it`s all about.U can`t learn kuji from the internet.U need2 learn it from a teacher.Just like nin-jutsu it is transmited from person2person.If done wrong the kuji can shorten ur life.I recomend u take formal classes with a teacher.Other wise u will never ever understand it or get it.
@TSOAS2008 I was told Kuji-Kiri was nothing more then a dexterity exercise...is this person wrong? Or are is he just somebody who doesn't believe in the super-natural?
@TSOAS2008 I doubt it, Kuji-In also has the same ritualism behind it that Kuji-Kiri has. Heres probably the situation, the person who told me is atheist, and does not believe in spiritualism or any of that. With that said though, he might've been speaking realistically(from his perspective of course). Then again I dont know ("\(-_-)/")
@Susanoo58 I got into them also, they're very interesting. I am not a practitioner of Ninjutsu(Judo ftw), nor am I Ninjutsu buff like this individual. So its nice to learn different perspectives of Ninjutsu.
@TeHGoodReverend - I have studied several Japanese martial arts and I was taught that Ninjutsu is more like a military science than a martial art. That's why I like Antony's videos. Not like many people on you tube, privateer013, who call themselves experts. Then you find out that they never trained in martial arts,or that they're a bunch of smartasses who dropped out of college.
Real Shinobi never argue, especially about Ninjutsu.
