Ninjutsu 'Stick fighting' basics - Hanbo training for the AKBAN wiki

[@danielappleby9375]

Honestly, that was an excellent demonstration! The Hanbo breakdown I have seen yet. Thank you for sharing.

[@AkbanOrg]

Thanks for the good words Daniel 🙏🏻

Thank you for providing me with an advanced refresher course on how to blend kenjutsu and bojutsu together, I appreciate it. I actually use a similar blend of techniques when utilizing cane fighting drills. They are quite effective.

[@AkbanOrg]

Always welcome

Where does he teach at

[@patrick9761]

the best most patient instruction online, thanx for the effort and upload of this video

[@AkbanOrg]

thanks

[@Zanderkoala]

This really resembles some things we learned in Arnis. Particularly the 12 high intensity strikes. We did an almost identical drill every day. This really brings on the nostalgia. Really there are a lot of similarities between the two styles. There are some minor differences but it's amazing how similar they really are. I love this thank you for posting these videos. You've earned a subscriber.

[@hebrewakban]

Thank you Sir, Keep training!

[@johniglesia283]

All martial arts at the higher level is formless..they fused and becomes one flow...

[@Alexxave32]

what impresses me the most is how complete this discipline is, you are getting advanced concepts of HEMA and even "Verdadera destreza" (Spanish rapier fencing style) and in other videos judokas and MMA practitioners have spoken about the great accuracy of the methods: If I had access to an AKBAN dojo you'd never get me out of it

[@elginbolling337]

It was very much reminiscent of Filipino stick fighting I learn. Specifically the angles of attack and the roof blocks

[@AkbanOrg]

Exactly

[@tullynona2750]

Beautiful techniques reminding me of when I trained in Ireland. Finally looking forward to joining local Bujinkan in Australia. Thank you for your beautifully constructive videos love them all.

[@TheTrunewb]

the squeaking noise their feet make on the mat sounds like servos in robots (specially with the bad sound quality) , totally makes it seem like two fighting androids (: TY for the techniques

[@multidinero]

Strong video on the basics of short stick/quarterstaff fighting. The application to long sword/katana combat is very noticeable, and the master's explanation about the differences of it's application with a weapon with and without a guard is key. Great starting point, indeed.

[@danielappleby9375]

Finally, scooped up a 3’ oak dowel! Excited to work on this.

[@arthurd9118]

You are an excelent master. Very objetive. Congratulations.

[@AkbanOrg]

Thanks. If you like these kind of perspectives, there are hundreds of videos I uploaded.

[@AkbanOrg]

Thanks, my friend, as always, I'll pass it on to my instructor.

Thanks!

[@frederico4d]

Really like how it is divided by levels of violence. Being that I only practice the balistic strikes of jogo do pau, it is nontheless great to have other options for when you don't want/need to really hurt someone,

There is not alot of good clips on youtube of ninjutsu so thank you for all of these clips David there are or were alot of real good clips on here by grandmaster Dr.Hatsumi.

Thanks, hopefully more lessons will follow.

[@frederico4d]

I've seen it mentioned in the video, and I think it is great job he is doing by teaching it! keep up the good work!

[@kaleb9135]

I needed this for my project! Thanks!

[@jester9159]

Just happen to come across this video and your channel. Excellent material. I've contemplated getting back into a form of martial arts after several, several years. I've always been drawn to staff weapons, in particular. Though I live in a somewhat rural area, I hope to maybe find someone to instruct me in jo and hanbo training, specifically. Not to mention, with seeing the direction society is going, the System is too quick to crucify those who defend themselves with firearms. However, becoming deadly proficient with what law enforcement would see, in a defense scenario, as just a "stick" has its advantages I believe.

[@AkbanOrg]

A stick is a perfect weapon, because most of its uses are very mundane

[@OttosTheName]

Great video! But just a little heads up to headphone users, at 4:17 it gets quite a bit louder.

[@AkbanOrg]

sorry 'bout that

[@bremnersghost948]

excellent teaching style, and very similar to the techniques I learned under Avi Nardia at Kapap

[@AkbanOrg]

thanks

[@donoberloh]

Deffinately moves from Hatsumi/Chambers book on stick fighting, (with hanbo) he uses the twirling from the Aikido 22 and 31 Jo Kata, but he has not trained extensively by the way his balance and footwork. He also throws in some modren Shindo Muso Ryu from Shimizu' s Seitei Jodo. Don't see any Okinawan influence, an his Nihon pronunciations are though he learned from non-japanese speaker.

[@AkbanOrg]

Probably you’re right

[@dialectiks]

Wonderful video, thanks a lot! Also, how long are the sticks you are training with? I've seen Hanbos in the 90 and 100cm variants.

[@AkbanOrg]

Usually we use a 100 cm hanbos

[@robpelarde4734]

What is the best wood for a short staff? What is your preferred length?

[@AkbanOrg]

[@wilhelmquenzert4250]

an other very interesting unit, thanks for sharing!

[@devitomichael]

This is great and all, but nobody has unlimited time, it’s important to get the most return on one’s training per unit of time. I’ve trained in a lot of different styles of martial arts and the greatest return on my time I’ve noticed is when I practice Jiu-Jitsu. My 47 year old 6 months of Jiu-Jitsu/mma white belt self could absolutely destroy my pre-Jiu-Jitsu entire life since childhood obsession with just about every martial art any aged younger self. For example, I roll with more different people, body types, skill levels, weights, etc, in a SINGLE class than I sparred with in over a year of Ed Parker’s Kenpo, or even in basic training for that matter. I make an analogy between Jiu-Jitsu training and Navy SEAL training in that SEAL’s, in addition to their actual military related skills, by exposing themselves daily to frigid ocean water, they also become almost immune to the hypothermia that would overcome the average person, this is similar to the way Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, in addition to practicing our actual Jiu-Jitsu technique, acclimate to the struggle of combat by constantly exposing ourselves to fighting and getting choked out every day by every possible skill level and body type, we become “immune” so to speak to the discomfort of literally fighting for consciousness on a regular basis. This I’ve noticed leads to a kind of “toughness” that other martial artists just don’t generally possess - walk into any competition Jiu-Jitsu school for a complimentary week’s lessons and roll with the students and staff and see for yourself - Jiu-Jitsu is the real deal, I don’t care what martial art and for how long that you’ve practiced, a Jiu-Jitsu black belt will tie you up and crush the air from your lungs without even using his arms, put a weapon in the hands of a Jiu-Jitsuko and he/she is basically a bona-fide assassin.

[@eugenevictortooms4174]

How thick should a Hanbo be?

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

Why block a strike that is not on target to hit the body?

[@CiPhEr505]

Douglas E Knapp When it's not quite on target, what matters is how they did it and what you want to do. Now, I did a totally different marital art, but the idea is the same. If it's going to miss and it is low density, you block to stop a follow-up strike. Back in tournament days, good opponents would sometimes "just miss" to test your attention, and whether or not to feint for points and/or combine attacks. If it's a haymaker that's going to miss... simply use footwork and take the point. Sometimes blocking though is part of a series of things you want to do, and doing so just puts you in position. -----' Or they wildly missed and are your bitch for whatever move in your arsenal is appropriate.

[@AkbanOrg]

Easier said than done. Well said

[@Overunity357]

the high level violence moves were the thing that i found most usefull. i need to know hanbo vs. gun, hanbo vs. knife, and hanbo vs. empty hand. even better how to use a jo in a modern context. i practice JKD and BJJ and they are nice to have but i prefer the range advantage of the cane and jo and would rather not have to use my CCW. but apparently, no one teaches the Jo vs. random violent guy. as a young tall guy the jo is the most incognito weapon i can carry thats not a gun or knife and i want to learn how to use it but there is literally zero instruction on you tube that is teaching the jo for the street. can anyone help me out?

[@chaos_omega]

Dog Brothers have a good staff DVD. They use alive training, like most JKD and BJJ.

Looks like an Escrima block called "payong" or umbrella..

[@AkbanOrg]

Indeed, one can see this block in many stick and sword disciplines

[@Wil.Sanchez.hispal]

The perfect translation of "Hanbo" from Japanese into English would be "medium-stick" or "mid-stick" instead of "short-stick"... Wikipedia.org: El hanbō (japonés: 半棒 'bastón medio', de han 'medio' y bō 'bastón, palo' ) es un bastón de madera de aproximadamente un metro de longitud (o 90 cm) y 3 cm de diámetro.1 El short-stick es el Tambo (12 until 18 inches) 30 a 45 cms. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamb%C5%8D

[@AkbanOrg]

Ok

[@ryanhoskins01]

Just noticed, these guys step before or as they strike. Anyone know what I'm referring to here....?

[@AkbanOrg]

hmmm

[@brisingreye5209]

Ok so at some point in the vid you state that it is a weak grip to have both hands right next to each other. Even so you use it at around 5:00 for an attack ;) Besides it is the grip used by most swordfighters using a 1,5-2handsword.... so what is going on here if I may ask :P

[@tacti-cool4022]

brisingr eye with blunt weapons your bashing not slashing so you want a little more stability like chopping wood; but less stability with a standard sword grip let's the sword slice as you swing it ...I have zero training but it's my best no-nonsense guess

[@btensionfree]

Is it possible to fight a Bo staff, staff or a even a sword with a Nun Chuck..????

[@AkbanOrg]

Possible, but not prudent

[@btensionfree]

Thank you very much for your valuable knowledge and blessing..

[@beepot2764]

Hmm interesting. I'll stick with arnis.

[@jeremywhitfield4556]

Don't you mean escrima?

[@HiNRGboy]

Hanbo is superior, it's like your stick but further length.

[@AkbanOrg]

Sometimes the circumstances determine the weapon

[@iitim2152]

Uh... So sliding is a legit technique in staff fighting, but why in the name of God would you do this with a stick... You are sacrificing range, power, leverage, and speed. Then we transition to the worst technique in the history of weapon fighting, reverse grip. Which sacrifices all the same stuff as well as grip stability. It's all a shame because these guys move very well and if they learned how to fight, and not how to look cool they might be very effective.

[@Mr71paul71]

I'm afraid I have to disagree !!! if your being attacked and want to go home intact, then you have to dial it up to maximum violence ASAP in order to end the fight quickly. your attacker is trying to hurt/kill you. so end it quickly with maximum violence

[@AkbanOrg]

With respect, Sir, we disagree. For a concise AKBAN perspective on this, please refer to www.akban.org/wiki/Levels_of_violence
