I have enjoyed Mr. Hayes' work since I was a kid in the 80's. It is great to see what has done with his To-shin-do system. I will always appreciate his contribution to the art. Good work with the vid, thanks
@MelodyInjection No disrespect was or is intended to Mr. Lee, who is indeed the quintessential martial arts icon. The point of the opening is that not only people who fit that stereotype can enjoy and excel at martial arts. (e.g., you don't have to be male, asian, and ripped). Unfortunately, that is a stereotype that persists even today, despite great advances in recent years.
The people in this video have been training from a few months to 10+ years. The darker the belt color, the longer they have been training. We included both beginner and advanced practitioners to show that ninjutsu is fun for all ages and backgrounds.
This video was intended to show that you don't have to be a muscle bound man and martial arts aficianado to find out that you really love ninjutsu. It is so realistic, practical, and effective that I wanted to share it with everyone. Believe me, the students at this dojo know how to fight. This video featured a lot of beginning moves to show people of various ages and backgrounds coming together.
Wow, I would really like to have a training session with you guys. Too bad I live in California.

Great place! I went there for my blue-belt test and the people are very friendly and respectful.
And, besides the great people, To Shin Do is an amazing and effective martial

I noticed that at about 1:05, that the defender, after escaping the grab, leaned slightly back and made known, his intent to strike
