i like bujinkan, but these victims need to stop being flacid cocks, and force the attacker to make it work. yhese videos are sort of showing off. as oppose to raw training.

[wackattackjack]

if the uke falls over so easily, how do you know a good teqnique from a excellent one?

[kempobrad]

@Blazureokami i am aware of that. just making an observation. and i agree the same could be said of any art that uses kata, which is just about all of them really. but it seems with so much freedom to personalize (given to instructors) ..there's no uniformity even in the kata. at least in karate naihanchi is naihanchi with only slight variations which can't be helped.

[Blazureokami]

@kempobrad the same could be said of taekwondo and many martial arts, the western taekwondo is mostly the sport variation (I know Ive studied at several places since I was a child) while in the eastern side of the world, there's more of the heavy damage. Thing is in the Bujinkan, the taijutsu is more ending the fight in as few hits as possible (arm comes near and you break it). We do still learn kata but kihon happo isnt a kata, it's the fundamental strikes, the kata is a seperate topic

[kempobrad]

@Blazureokami well thats the point. so many schools have a different curriculum than any of the others, there's no uniformity. but the point was that you should first understand the kata, and then understand that the henka come from the kata. people are sometimes so worried about putting their own unique spin on things that they can't even do the basic movement correctly. (not pointing fingers at anyone specific)

and if they spar and bujinkan doesnt work quite right? adapt it and learn. isnt that what its about?

[wackattackjack]

fair enough for home training but i know that in most dojos this is all they do. i know some of the moves are risky (for both partners) but isnt judo an offshoot of jujitsu like bujinkan? in judo they manage to spar safely and can actually try and TEST themselves. it would be well worth while if bujinkan sparred using its throws and tips. for gods sake in one karate kata i learned there was a move to rip a mans nuts off, how many castrations have there been in organised karate competition?

@owenspence Uh, you obviously have a overly romanticized view of Japanese Samurai. Many Japanese Samurai did not follow Bushido. In fact "Bushido" is a recently developed term. Ninja was a job. Which many Samurai performed. And usually Ninja were Samurai.

[owenspence]

Perhaps the kusarigame was a common weapon of feudal Japan, but the kyoketsu shoge was not common, at least not among the samurai, who would have considered it a dishonourable tool to use.

And by the way, the Bushido, was not shared by the ninja & the ninja were forbidden to act in self defense & therefore had no real code, so were free to act as they saw necessary. So ninja probably masqueraded as samurai, but were emphatically NOT samurai

The problem with this video is the b.s. compliance on the part of the "victim". The scenario in general is b.s. because no one is going to offer their wrist, arm, or shoulder for these "incredible" take-downs. I absolutely love the rolls at the end. This wouldn't work in the real world and the fantasy pretty much ends there. I will say that the workouts in general are great for balance, posture, and coordination.

@wackattackjack its for learning at home position distance and the movements when you have no one to practice with learn power and speed in the dojo. however bujinkan generally has! had its wings clipped because we are not allowed tokill our enemies in society

[ExposeChosunNinja]

@BlackShinobiShozoku It contains both elements, and I would not say it is either mostly one or the other. If you train in the Bujinkan you quickly realize that this is not a system that is focused on one particular area of martial training. It has a pretty broad spectrum.
