Rick Tew Ninja Training Basics Grappling MMA Martial Arts Camp California

[UniversalQi]

The jumping kicks at the end were lame, and the techniques seem a little unrefined i.e. competition geared. That said, whether Tew Sensei is historical or not, he is a fun-loving, very athletic, motivated teacher who is not teaching much, if any, crap-technique. Just stylized technique. Every art had to begin somehwere, and he promotes health and well being through his art. I call fair play ^^ Thank you Rick!

I can only say they each have a flavour of their own as does the Jinenkan and I enjoyed immensely the training in both schools and hope to return to that training when I am able, I am a realist as regards my martial arts but I love the history and the like of the Koryu Ryuha :)

[BudoWolfy]

(Genbukan, Jinenkan) ARE a form of mixed martial art. Evan Hatsumi Soke has ceased to call the Bujinkan a school of ninjitsu in the way many believe.

As for the length of the Lineage, history etc , the Bujinkan definatly does NOT have a lineage or history stretching back 1000 years, HOWEVER the combined lineage lengths and histories of the 9 schools COULD be this long, I dont know enough about the history to know for definate.

Having practised both Bujinkan and Genbukan martial arts

[BudoWolfy]

this means that the Bujinkan is NOT a school of ninjitsu. It is a school teaching several schools of Ju Jitsu (or japanese martial art if you prefer :) )That has a section that is devoted to ninjitsu style techniques (concealment spying tactics etc) Each of the 9 schools with in the Bujinkan is present in their own right OUTSIDE the Bujinkan. It is not unusual for Japanese Ryuha to have several different lines of transmission. This means that infact the Bujinkan and the other XKan schools

[BudoWolfy]

1. There ARE nine schools in Bujinkan, however each of those nine schools exsisted as a seperate entity in the past and only came together as one school under hatsumi arguably Takamatsu. They are in fact 9 schools of Koryu Ju Jitsu (JuJitsu is a generic term so please understand this)

2. The spying techniques etc of ninjitsu were in fact sections of the curriculum of Ju Jitsu schools and the schools of tactics that exsisted in Japan at the time.

It probably is Genbukan. It's not Bujinkan Ninjutsu, because we would not use up so much energy performing strikes during these techniques. like high knees.

[Arteanor]

@adrozemog

i cannot explain the amount wrong with this to you in 1 comment, this may take a while...

"t probably is Genbukan"

the genbukan teaches the SAME stances, techniques and strategies, just in differnt ways than the bujinkan, therefore...

"It's not Bujinkan Ninjutsu, because we would not use up so much energy performing strikes during these techniques. like high knees."

is entirely erroneous, because, the genbukan uses the SAME techniques, which are NOT present here, OR NINJUTSU.

[Arteanor]

@adrozemog

but you knew that already because you have already been corrected by me on your assertion regarding "Bujinkan Ninjutsu" as no such thing has ever existed.

it is akin to me simply learning ANY other martial art ( than the jujutsu, koppo/koshijutsu of the bujinkan) and then simply naming it "___-kan Ninjutsu"

there is absolutely NO historical basis to claim that ninjutsu is or includes a martial arts/budo/taijutsu/ combat technique component... those were different schools.

[adrozemog]

@Arteanor would you consider a thousand year-old lineage of training to be a "historical basis?" Takematsu taught Hatsumi, who taught every legit ninjutsu black belt around today. One of those blackbelts is next up as grandmaster. Its been that way forever. What do you think ninjutsu is? Besides the stealth techniques employed for infiltrating castles, what do you think the ninjas used to dispatch their enemies? taijutsu and weaponry were HUGE components of the bujinkan.

[adrozemog]

@Arteanor excuse me, were-and still are, and will continue to be. There is in fact an organized combat system, which was practiced and varied among the 9 ninjutsu families. My only beef here is that this Rick Tew guy calls this "Ninja Training." It's MMA, a little bit of everything, but ninjas didn't do MMA, they did ninjutsu. Just ninjutsu, and that's how they killed people. I take ninjutsu, I know what I know to be true and if we aren't going to see eye to eye, then oh well.

[Arteanor]

@adrozemog

"There is in fact an organized combat system, which was practiced and varied among the 9 ninjutsu families."

uh, seems your butchering the definition of a martial art...

and where do you think this '9 ninjutsu families' nonsense from??

there were over 57 Koka ryu family ryuha...

"My only beef here is that this Rick Tew guy calls this "Ninja Training."

but hatsumi does THE EXACT SAME THING????

if ninjutsu is budo, where is the EVIDENCE??? why is it so hard for you to understand?

[adrozemog]

@Arteanor sorry, I meant 9 schools. There are 9 specific schools known today from which the techniques are derived. And do you know who Soke Hatsumi is!!?? He's the ninjutsu grand master. Anyone who has a ninjutsu blackbelt, including Rick Tew, perhaps, trained with Hatsumi at some point or another. Ninjutsu=ninja. If its ninjutsu training, it's ninja training. This video is not ninjutsu training. It's not ninja training.

[Arteanor]

@adrozemog

"There are 9 specific schools known today from which the techniques are derived"

uh, no there are not, takamatsu hatsumi's teacher, CLAIMS 9 ryu...

"And do you know who Soke Hatsumi is"

did you forget our previous messages?

"He's the ninjutsu grand master."

no he isn't. his teacher never learned ninjutsu, he doesn't know it.

"Anyone who has a ninjutsu blackbelt"

the blackbelt system began with founding of judo, ninjutsu used the menkyo grading system. masters trained decades.

[Arteanor]

@adrozemog

"would you consider a thousand year-old lineage of training to be a "historical basis?""

yes, i would. too bad no such thing exists in the bujinkan.

"Takematsu taught Hatsumi, who taught every legit ninjutsu black belt around today."

but what takamatsu taught to hatsumi WASN'T ninjutsu...

"One of those blackbelts is next up as grandmaster. "

actually his 15th dan's will NEVER inherit his schools, they will go to his menkyo kaidens.

you assert alot after that, CITE A SOURCE?

[LastShinobi01]

wait...is this guy in Genbukan? I'm in genbukan and...there are many techniques I see

[TeslaDRay]

if i had the money, i would join this, after thoroughly investigating/inquiring about it that is.

[starswitch]

I can see the Flaws here, BJJ better.....

[TeslaDRay]

@starswitch

well its supposed to be a little of everything, not ALL of everything, which would take forever to learn.

[MyoushinRyuNinjutsu]

FAKE NINJER;.

[ph33ric]

its hard to say..... some of the moves are just impractical. like the shoulder grab leaping double knees.

[SuperSneakySteve]

Yeah, I'm sure he's great at throwing stars and stuff, but his grappling sucks.

[zorankerkez]

That guy that is their sensei-i saw him milion times on TV.This is really cool.

[eyewishwalrus]

reverse roll up?, how about not...

[MOUNTAINOUS]
