This is really cool. Will students of Ninjutsu learn Kenjutsu?

[KendoWorld]

@DGHProductions I dont fully understand your question? I know of a lot of mixed arts that include both techniques which could fall under Ninjutsu as well as sword forms which could fall under Kenjutsu.

If you mean do most students of Ninjutsu do Kenjutsu, then I dont know enough to say. However a friend of mine from Sweeden who studies Ninjutsu also does Kendo.

Sorry if I didnt answer your question, dont hesitate to clarify.

@KendoWorld Well yes all i wanted to know was if Kenjutsu is a part of Ninjutsu, or if they are two different things.

[KendoWorld]

@DGHProductions Oh I see ~ ! Sorry about the misunderstanding.

On the whole, yes they are two different things.

Thanks

@KendoWorld

That is like saying: "kenjutsu is something different than samurai arts".

Tōjutsu (older name for kenjutsu) is an important part of ninjutsu.

[KendoWorld]

@kenninast Hence the use of more ambiguous wording. :)

@blackcerberus79 KNOW me? Really? Hardly surprising since I dont really go to lengths to hide, but I think know is a strong word! So because you know Toby outside the dojo, that automatically means that the rest of the people have nothing to offer in terms kenjutsu knowledge?

@Antellus1

If you think this is simply ritualised and stylized you are right, you are looking at kata. But the whole point of kata is to train muscle memory, so that you can replicate the same moves in a real fight without needing to actually think about what needs to go where.

This hyoho is actually quite fluid in the foot movements, and its not as anywhere near as rigid as most kata. Please practice it before commenting on youtube.

Regards.

@DGHProductions Yes, we do kenjutsu on our training. We practice with katana, tachi, shoto, also different types of weapons....

@DGHProductions Not like this

[Kilroy0128]

@DGHProductions as I know Ninjutsu students naturally practice Kenjutsu for exapmle Katori Shinto Ryu. That is very useful if you have less space to use your swords. Otherwise if someone wants to be a martial artist it is very useful to practice any kind of Kenjutsu. They are beautiful and they have good impact on the mind and body either:)

[DGHProductions]

@kenninast Good, that was the answer i was looking for.

[kenninast]

@DGHProductions

Yes it is. Togakure Ryū Ninjutsu has some rather interesting Tōjutsu gata.

[DGHProductions]

@KendoWorld Ok, thank you.
