LOL, such a satisfying clatter whenever that samurai dude gets floored.

hatsumi sensei is a bad ass

[ZZaiBoT2011]

Bujinkan is based on over 1000 years of tradition have been trained by the Samurai & Ninja

@CommanderYuan Yes, I suppose it will make you stronger, although I am sure it affects your balance, could be better to train moving under real conditions, but, that is your option. Strike points against armor dont change much, the same soft spots tend to appear, but I really doubt if I will ever fight against armor. Personal preference I guess, carrying weapons always felt distracting so I just carry the ones that came with my arms and legs.

@Calimantalkin Also, to fully study and use an art to its potential in a modern society, it is critical to preserve the original foundations and underpinnings of the art to further adapt and develop to maximize modern utility. We probably won't fight with swords, but the tanto exercises will definitely help special forces with knife combat. Fighting with armor will help one's movement when unrestrained by it.

@Calimantalkin Actually, think about it this way. Its a one in a million chance, but the nintai-jujutsu techniques are used against heavily armored opponents, which in todays world, is a heavy kevlar suit. Now you prob wont have the katanas to fight im, and he'll prob have a gun, but those techs are used in the chance that you get close enough for him to regret it. But otherwise, it's just for novelty, or fitness. People still joust today too

[Calimantalkin]

@FabrizioBiondini nope..tried that, ended up with clutter...useless clutter...got rid of them.

@Calimantalkin If you have a collection of postage stamp, why you have it? Understand the point?

[Gargamelim]

Only Hatzumi can make that armour not look absolutely ridiculous

[Maatdrummer1]

It's amazing how closed minded people can be. Get on the mat with one of these guys and find out. When you are done untying your pretzel self, come tell us how bad this sucks (getting your butt embarrassed.).

@Calimantalkin If you like tradition, you will find this amazing and fun! and not a waste. If you don´t like it, then don´t study it, nobody is forcing you. There is a lot to learn in real budo like this. Bujinkan is fantastic in that way, a lot of teachings you can translate into things of everyday life (kajo chikusei is one is particulary useful in my profession). Adapting to nowadays is something you, as a martial ARTIST, will have to do (fighting with a backpak, for example).

If you can beat a samurai you can beat anything! :D
