Yea that last comment is fos friend. Most Bujinkan ppl forget how you train is how you fight.

noone, including the maker of this video, seems to realize that the "holding the arm out" is just to allow for the instructor to demonstrait the technique. in real conbat it would happen so fast, you normally wouldn't habe the ability to think maybe i should pull my arm in. only a combat (close empty-handed or other such weapon) veteran would be able to handle it. actually have a go with one of these guys who have trained for even a year and see if you can do as you seem to imply

I laughed my ass off watching this ! It is all ways a shame to look at demos of teachings

And yes alot of bujinkan forms - (of old formal teachings) require - uke to perform lunge punches ect - art , combat, & demonstrations & training are different things

And hard too make sence out of - but I am sure you will find your way

lols. This is trully why i regret a bit training with the Bujinkan system, cross-training is the only way to make it work anyway.

The only way to learn a technique and it's principles properly is to learn it slowly and thats what they are doing. A real fight (jissen) is totaly different and is where you automatically put into practice these principles of taking balance etc. Understandable all the negative comments when they don't understand the learning process it looks funny. Many arts look similiar on the surface but are very different, and yes they do speed it up but you will never see it on a video here. Keep training

Tinorr28, wearing pads is a good idea; training in slow motion is a bad idea.

The only way to practice realistic self defence is to train at full speed, against full resistance, and use effective techniques. In other words, don't train like they do in the Bujinkan.

I look forward to the day when I see a video of Bujinkan techniques being trained at full speed against full resistance; if you uploaded a video showing that, you'd be the first person in the world to do that.

@slapupchrist ok... I'll try to get that on camera and post it. Like I said it'll be a bit because I currently live 8 hours away from my dojo but I'll get there. Beware that most of the techniques won't look like they do in a slow motion environment so I'll break it down and try to point it out when I'm putting it on youtube. Also, probably my parner and I will have a few pads on and won't be following through to the completion of some techniques ( breaking arms etc.)
