Did Shugendo Influence Ninjutsu?

Shugendo is the esoteric art of the Yamabushi, for a long time people have suspected that the Yamabushi influenced the Ninja with their religious rituals and practice. This video looks at the evidence for that influence. Please feel free to comment.

what were the other names of shinobi clans beside the Iga and koga clan for examp[e the Fuma clan the Sanada clan to name a couple what were the other clans that existed? and why we dont hear much about theses other clan that were out beside the Iga and Koga? please explain to me please.

@beduoasis that is a good question and difficult to answer, we know that Fuma was a posibility, and that Natori ryu did exist. But mainly infomation goes from teh documents, which tend to be Iga Koka area. I will be looking into this in the future.

I am wondering the connection between iga/koka ninja and shugendo too.

Those shugendo mountains existed outside of iga too but it didn't mean there were ninja.

Sangaku Shinko (mountain religion?) has been everywhere in Japan.

Mountains in Iga are pretty small though.

What kanji is Honjintubo?

Can you ask yoshie to type it in Japanese?

My Shidoshi has told me that from the teachings he received, There is clear indication that the Yamabushi influenced Ninjutsu. In fact he holds yearly Yamabushi Gasshuku seminars.

[MartinJFaulks]

@reginaninja

see the thing is, im not only entitled to my opinion, but im entitled to VOICE it too... isnt freedom of speech great?

and it keeps you ninjers on your toes... having someone to call your BS out...

and since i have already established MY evidence for my claims, i would like you to substantiate YOUR CLAIMS. "that you have to soil ours with your BS?"

if what i am saying is BS, then prove me wrong,.,, and if you cant, stop fucking crying and get the fact that im right.

@reginaninja

see i dont understand you ninjers... you post here on antony's vids saying how right he is... and then totally ignore that he is telling you THE BUJINKAN IS BULLSHIT,,,,

why is it that when i condense what he says in a video into 500 chars, every bujbaby gets butthurt?

is it because i ask hard questions that you cannot possibly answer? or is it because you dont understand that the questions i asked are precisely that way for that reason?

takamatsu' story doesnt make sense

[reginaninja]

@Creationsofmyown Hey, if you do not want to accept the teachings of the Bujinkan as legit, fine, your entitled to your opinion, but seriously, "Fuck Off" and find another group to pester, or do you simply not have enough of a life, that you have to soil ours with your BS?
