Ninjutsu - Tengu Sword Form 1

First of four Tengu Sword forms of our Ninjutsu system. Tengu swords are reverse katanas - 2/3 handle and 1/3 blade- and can be used as a short spear. The Tengu sword system is also known as the art of the double spinning swords. These forms are designed to cultivate cutting and throwing techniques from any angle through skillful waist movement, footwork, and hand dexterity. Further understanding of the subtleties of these forms will enable a practitioner to give an "edge" to any surface/weapon.

To blayral:

Arrogance only leads to self defeat. Judging from all the comments left on your channel people have a real love for you. Maybe if you spent more time loving what you do and less time hating on other people. You might actually accomplish something special in life rather than spreading ugliness.

Ray thank you for sharing that beautiful form. keep it up

@deejin25 It's not a katana. The description states: "Tengu swords are reverse katanas - 2/3 handle and 1/3 blade- and can be used as a short spear."

@AmericanSamurai100

Ninja jobs were not being assasins, they were intelligence gatherers

[BlackShinobiShozoku]

@AmericanSamurai100

Actually yes it does keep them at bay. You are keeping a sword between you and them. And yeah it also helps measure distance as well.

And spinning your sword around is not practical. How is doing something that makes your grip less stable and having your sword spinning around meaning for a split second your sword is facing the opposite direction from your opponent. Albeit there are kamae with sword pointing opposite direction, but it's ready for a cut.

@BlackShinobiShozoku And if you look up art of war, he sometimes suggests sabotoge and assasinations. That is warfare, especialy today!! And no, that is not all ninjutsue is. Some street fighting, mostly assasinations, and doing it before the enemy knows your there. That is ninjutsu. get in, get the mission done, get out.

[AmericanSamurai100]

@BlackShinobiShozoku Not true, if doen correctly. look up Dao Sword . now, granted, you don't want to use a katana like that. They were ment for a direct slash, not spinning. But still useful to practice. And on your "It keeps him at bay," thats false

. its so you can measure the distance better. If he gets too close to your sword, you cut. Actualy, if you read japanese swordfighting books, you relize that being in close is the best place to be.

[BlackShinobiShozoku]

@AmericanSamurai100 Actually no it doesn't, when you are spinning the sword you don't have a stable grip. Therefore while in the stress of battle you can either 1)Drop your sword

2)Injure yourself

3)Get your sword knocked from your hand

And keeping your sword infront of you keeps your opponent at bay. That's the benefit of keeping your weapon between you and your enemy. The Art of War is strategy for military. Ninjutsu is for one man trying to gain entry or intel

[AmericanSamurai100]

@BlackShinobiShozoku .and "Art of War" did Influenced it, becuause Sun Tzu inspired other chinese generals. I've read it, and Ninjutsu is more linked to it. And alot of Japanese phylosiphy is based from china, which, in tern is based from India, aswell as Confucius. And, no, not in Japan. Most Japanese warfare is frontal, with a fue outflanking, and 1 sea battle. while ninjutsu is based more on chinese war, like you said. And, its only common now because of printing press. Generals today use it.

[AmericanSamurai100]

@BlackShinobiShozoku No, thats not true. In wushu sword fighting, they do similar stuff. It keeps your opponent at bay, while blocking at the same time. Keeping your sword in front is like keeping your hand in front of you in Taijutsue. Its for judging distance. Now, if used by an untrained swordsman, your right, its useless. But, if used correctly, useful.

[BlackShinobiShozoku]

@AmericanSamurai100 No the twirling motion won't keep anyone at a distance. If you want to keep someone at a distance keep your sword infront of you and pointed in your opponents direction. All the twirling motions aren't effective and are just making you susceptible to your enemies attack and makes you more prone to dropping your sword. And Ninjutsu isn't based on "Sun Tzu Art of War" it's based on common war tactics (which is influenced by China) and Japanese philosophy

[AmericanSamurai100]

@BlackShinobiShozoku Well, that depends. the twirling motions could be to keep the apponent a good distance away. Thats actualy like saying that true wushu (kung fu) is useless. A good defence is a good offence. And yes, your right ninjutsu is of japanese origins, but its based from Sung Tzu Art Of War. now, regarding this style, I personaly don't kno its origins, but dont ever think just becuase it could be new means its usless. kung fu and taijutsu did help make karrate. just remember that

I have to add my voice to the chorus.

This is not Ninjutsu, or anything even close to a Japanese sword system.
