Bujinkan Soke Masaaki Hatsumi - Gyokko Ryu - Koku

Bujinkan Soke Masaaki Hatsumi demonstrating the Gyokko Ryu technique Koku.

[@dustincaldwell2354]

“Don’t learn the form, learn the energy behind it.”

[@mauler31za66]

I really don't know why people like to dismiss the bujinkan as nonsense just because they see these kata like demonstrations. If you listen clearly at what Hatsumi-sensei is saying and this is what my sensei told me as well is that, he is not teaching a kata to use when fighting but the ways to move your body in a fight as well as the elements within the kata (for example wrist locks, punches to vulnerable points, ways to avoid punches and kicks, how to retaliate and when, how to manage your spacing in a fight and how to seek weak points in opponent's stance or how to create and exploit it) that you can use against your opponent in a real fight. My sensei told us not to be stupid and fight as if we are doing a kata as we would get our asses handed to us, but to rather look deeper into the movements of the techniques and find the useful parts that will help us in a real fight XD.

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

I agree 100% with you but how do you do this?

[@leifodinnson]

exactly. The same goes with every single traditional art out there. If you use it traditionally, yes you will get your ass kicked. That's why you adapt and improvise.

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

@@leifodinnson Naturally. Did you see that this video is about ONE kata? It is basically the very first kata that a student learns after some basics of kicking, blocking, punching, falling and basic weapons training. I think that improving upon what was done before is a really hard thing to do. There is not much new in the world. It is arrogant to think that we can do anything better than the warriors that came before us. The only modern fighter that I know of that has really done anything truly new was Bruce Lee and he died to young to finish what he started, a great loss. All the rest of the "modern" MA is just mix and match and some better ways to build cardio and muscle mass as well as better ways to understand what is going on in a fight due to our HUGE collection of world fighting traditions that you would not even see a video of 100 years ago. Modern sport fighting is all about maximizing the possibilities of one against one in a ring with no weapons. and additionally how to maximise your chances within the rules of the ring. As an example of this look at how the game changes if you give the fighters gloves or not, a gi or not (looking at you BJJ) or time outs to breaking up ground work to make the fight "exciting". None of these little perfections will make you a better street fighter but it will win you the match against fighters that have almost the same training as you do. That little secret shot of hormones you took last year. The months training at altitude, the special concentrated food products. ETC ETC ETC. Bujinkan is not about this and they actively don't want to be about this. But you would be stupid if you think they are not watching it, trying it out and learning. Akban is a great example of this. Also note that this kata is traditionally done in FULL!!!! armor. This is why some of the movements look odd to an untrained (in armor fighting) person. But more fundamentally note that the WHOLE video is about ways you might vary the kata and also each variation is showing one of the "secrets" of the kata. It is a brilliant video, if you know how to use and understand it. Clearly Hatsumi knows that he is WAY too old to jump into a cage fight. He is not out to teach anyone how cage fight in this video or any public video. (you will not find much, really any, videos showing more than 5th kyu stuff.) This is a newbies, 5th kyu or so, video and a great one at that. He is teaching in this video how to learn from your first kata and in many ways more importantly how to change the kata. How to be an artist. If you fight then you know that using the same tricks over and over will lose you a real fight. This is why creativity and art is the true nature of martial ARTS. Hatsumi himself has said thousands of times that no attack is the same as any other attack and no response should be either (really he says the response should be appropriate to the attack but same difference). Hope you liked my book. :-)

[@felixsu375]

Shhhhh...Bujinkan doesn't work. Let them believe that. People will believe what they want anyway. You won't be able to change their minds. Personally, I've only had to use what I learned once and there was no contest. A friend of mine was in prison and he also only needed to use it once. No on bothered him in prison after that. Why try to change minds that you know already has a bias against Bujinkan? Who cares what they think? Let them believe what they want.

[@mrmachine5632]

no not because of katas as you well know, its because its simply a non functional art that ignores any form of pressure testing its movements, lets see ANY sparring against a resisting attacker that uses what it teaches. there is none and never will be

[@Arkhael666]

I did BBT for 12 years or so. My teacher was crap so I decided to go abroad and study, got to say the improvement was significant. Now the way I see it: 1) you want an ever-ready martial art that can be used in any given situation: study under Iron Fist or any other fictional M.A.because it doesn't exist. 2) BBT can work in real life, I used some fundaments in 2 separate occasions. Don't be foolish to think "ah, I'll use kata 'Z' because it's situation 'Z', and if you expect that out of any M.A. you are going down... Hard! 3) Is there tons or crappy-LARPing ninjers on pajamas posting on forums and KZbin? Heck yes, I'd bet it's 99% of what you get looking for Bujinkan. On the other hand there are very good teachers that complement kobudo training with modern waza (sparring, newaza, weapons, conditioning, etc.) Where are they? Training! They spend time showing that to students, not showing off on the Internet just to satisfy biased keyboard warriors. 4) Yup, even BJJ is crap when a gun or knife is added unless you have had military or police weapons training. One thing is biomechanics and the other weapon mechanics. Yes, I left it because of the politics and that sort of crap which is common. I get why people think it's a cult (a lot of cultish behavior and Hatsumi that only watches and makes up silly excuses like " Japanese culture is like this..."). My 2 cents.

If they practiced with reaction time and not knowing what the other person is going to do it will work but this type of practicing never works no matter what style.

[@renehenriksen1735]

When I watch this I get fillled with both joy and sadness. Joy because Soke Hatsumi is so wonderfull to watch and listen to and there´s so many wonderfull lessons to learn from him. Sad because there might not be so long until the day he dies. I mean, he´s still very energetic and vital despite his age, but the day will come and on this day there might not be someone to take over from him. His heritage and wisdom is great and it´s a big job to lift this task. I hope he has thought of something to continue Bujinkan in his spirit however that´s going to be. That is the wish of many I think despite of the rumours and the headlines in some newspapers. The day Hatsumi isn´t in this world anymore there will be something missing. He´s a man of many seemingly irreconsilable contradictions. The best of them in my view is that he´s so humanistic and wise allthough his occupation is martial arts. That is what makes him great. This is missing in the more competitive martial arts. For them it´s about belt-grades and medallions and titles. The whole humanistic aspect of it is something they don´t take into their martial art at all.

[@LoganBruneau]

René Henriksen I feel that you must not understand what goes on in competitive martial arts. Nothing draws out humanism more than fighting against an opponent. It’s not about titles, medals or belts. There is something much deeper within it that you would never understand only training a martial art that doesn’t utilize practical fighting techniques or sport competition.

[@renehenriksen1735]

You don´t know what martial arts I practice. Besides I don´t see why some people think ninjutsu doesn´t have practical fighting techniques. Ninjutsu isn´t singlemindedly about being the best. There they all lift each other as high as they can and want to be lifted. This thing about that it´s only about being the best creates rivalry and hatred. When everyone only cares about being the best then everyone else automatically becomes a rival. It´s not at all about sharing or exchanging experiences and knowledge. It´s only about belt-grades, medals and titles. Ego is the driving force in everything these people do. The difference in this and let´s say ninjutsu is , that in ninjutsu you must survive every threat that is thrown at you, in martial sports you must win points and titles and gain belt-grades. That´s the big difference.

[@LoganBruneau]

René Henriksen I highly recommend you try training in a martial art that is also a combat sport, because it sounds to me like you’ve never experienced stepping into the arena against a skilled competitor and what that does for check your ego, and develop you as a person and martial artist in a positive manner. Perhaps you’re basing your opinion on what you see on TV, when the media tries to hype up an event by getting opponents to trash talk each other. There’s a Japanese concept called 切磋琢磨 which ultimately means positive development through rivalry and competition. There’s no real animosity between opponents but rather a genuine appreciation that they have helped you improve. Testing your skills will actually crush your ego, whereas when you never spar you’re ego will grow as I have seen happen to so many ex ninjitsu practitioners who left when they realized what they were learning was mostly useless and made up techniques (and you better believe Hatsumi is just making stuff up)

[@renehenriksen1735]

I prefer an art where everything is allowed and not a sport that is restricted by rules for what you´re allowed to do in a fight. I would also prefer that you would learn to spell ninjutsu correctly. The word you wrote means hidden fruit and not hidden art. When people say Hatsumi is making things up and teaching people useless things I will very much prefer that they get specific. I´m simply tired of all those useless videos where they evaluate Hatsumi and come with all kinds of useless comments like " - Here I really fear for his mental health!", after he has demonstrated a technique. What use is such a comment? They never explain what is so useless about his techniques and that´s why I can´t take such shitstorms against Hatsumi seriously. And when they say he makes stuff up I can´t help thinking that he´s improvising. It all looks more like you and everyone who says what you do about Hatsumi wants nothing else but to recruit me and decide what I´m allowed to think and what I´m not allowed to think.

[@LoganBruneau]

René Henriksen I’m not telling you what to think but how to think critically about something. Sorry about the ninjutsu spelling it’s just spellcheck. But I actually speak Japanese (descended from the Sanada samurai line) and I’ll tell you Ninjitsu doesn’t mean hidden fruit. In fact ninjutsu wasn’t even a commonly used term in ancient japan, it was most likely spoken as shinobi no jutsu and it was not an art of hand to hand combat. And it never utilized defence against modern firearms and yet Hatsumi demonstrates defences against guns, something that he has no knowledge of, so he definitely made them up. And moves where he immobilizes your entire body with just a foot or knee placement is not possible or else you would see it being done in MMA, where it would be PERFECTLY LEGAL. In fact almost all of the hand to hand techniques he demonstrated are legal in MMA...and yet you still never see anyone employing them in the cage because they simply don’t work! You make it sound like Ninjutsu is all about “no rules” combat but how can you prepare for combat if you’ve never been pressure tested?

"Make sure you do not snap your own hand"... this tells me there is accumulative force from the arms down into the hands, power. Dr. H also said, "Using martial arts" in the wrong way can get you killed. I know that in cultures, weapons are used and its too bad more people do not grasp less than lethal moves of the body. A great move finished with resolution and no ambulance is an honorable feat. I'm weak, not in the best of health, over the normal weight, body disfigured but I like to watch this to see what I could still do. I can run 300lbs at you... better dodge. My hands are still strong. Are yours conditioned? I do not mean with lotion. Well I learned Kung Fu at 10. Very few actual "fights". I don't like fights. Homeless guy came after me last year and I did a weird mudra and started throat singing like a Tuvan and asked others to stay close... the guy took off. I needed to mimick a bunch of stuff. He was really intense in the eyes. The city has a homeless problem. I'm tired of people's aggression and having to skip around and sing but he did leave. Is "psych" cheating? Feels weird to act bizarre and throw a brain but he was mean.

[@ninenzinga154]

No! That's exactly ninpo! You used what you had, didn't blow your cover, and you controlled the guys ability to fight without killing him/ taking his back/breath. Perfect!

[@Bushidoblog]

Is there any videos of sparring or resistance from the opponent. Not holding your arm or body the way the instructor wants you to. Basically an aggressive attack from a non Ninjutsu person ? Credit to this instructor as his spirit seams like a very nice person and has nice attitude.

[@playfulsteps9249]

Great question. Students are free to try to apply and "spar" within certain margins of safety since a lot of strikes and movements can injure and maim. Here, Soke is taking his valuable time to explain the art of taking one form and turning it into a million applications. Eventually, practicing all these variations you can respond infinitely.

@@LoganBruneau Could be. Could not be. I don't know I've never fought him.

I bet he could hold his own. I bet he could at least survive a confrontation and tell the story the next day.

[@LoganBruneau]

this art comes from combative arts. 6 samurai schools and 3 ninja schools. from the beginning of this video Soke allowed one of his students to demonstrate the basic technique of Kukan and then brakes it down by its individual parts. Later he starts showing the different waza by using timing, distance, space, joint manipulation, and so on. Soke has used his 50 plus years of training and knowledge and has taught many armed and security forces all over the world and is respected by many organizations including the FBI and CIA

[@LoganBruneau]

Jasper Rae Mina A lot of FMA still suffers from the same problems as ninjutsu, a lot of dead drills in most FMA schools

[@LoganBruneau]

BrokenTengu99 what I mean when I say I haven’t seen it yet is that when you watch the hundreds of videos online of people successfully using martial arts in a real fight, it’s always Boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, BJJ, Judo, ect, but never ninjitsu. This is because ninjitsu typically doesn’t practice aliveness. The kata you mentioned may be open ended but the opponent almost always just feeds the attack, and rarely resists FULLY. I’m not a disembodied troll, I’m a martial artist and a fighter and if you just run a search on my name you will find videos of me employing my skills against fully resisting opponents. Show me even just a sparring match of your skills working against a resisting opponent.

[@ephilok50]

I have studied other arts, Goju ryu Karate, Kenpo, Aikido, Wing Chun and a few more, and each school has people who will say that this one is fake or this one is real. First for all the training with pads, how is that any more real, no fight I was ever in gave me time to go don pads and if you train with pads you are restricting your options. What about rules, no biting, no hitting in the back of the head, no kicks to the groin, again, real fight=NO rules, certainly no tap outs. The schools taught under Bujinkan have been used in Japanese warfare for a thousand years, and before that were in China and India. While you may not understand the ideals of the art itself, you are saying that this guy was able to fool covert operators and agencies from around the world for almost 4 decades? Unlikely at best. I always thought that you had to demonstrate techniques to students for them to practice, but apparently some people just already know all reasons, moves, and techniques and walk in and kill students on the first day, hmmm, well that is a different approach I guess! No one below the rank of Shidoshi (5th Dan) trains directly with Hatsumi sensei, and even most Shidoshi do not, mostly 10th Dan and up and those trainings are never videoed. I can say I trained with Hatsumi sensei, along with the other 200 people in the room! You can think its real or fake, doesn't really matter. Don't like don't train in it!

I trained in this art for five years and have been to the Honbu dojo in Noda-shi. I trained with Senou-sensei, Hatsumi-soke, and Nagato-sensei. I am experienced in this art, with the highest rank achieved being shodan. It is complete and total bullshit. The training you see people do here is the exact kind of training done by beginners. I would understand slow and careful with beginners, but at no point does the training ever "ramp up" (even aikido has better randori because at least the attacks have some semblance of speed at higher levels). NO ONE spars (spare me the "it's too dangerous" and "our school spars, yours must suck" ego defenses), and there is A LOT of compliance and overacting when it comes to the higher-ups performing techniques on you. There's also sufficient reason to doubt the heritage of the arts that make up the Bujinkan system, if lineage is important to you. I've ever heard that he wants to register the Bujinkan Dojo as a church to avoid taxes, which is weird to me (I can not confirm this, however, so please take this bit with a grain of salt. Everything else is my own experience). If you want a Japanese martial art that can provide you with excellent combat training, there are much better alternatives. Most people involved with this are in it for the "ninja" allure, but even that is massively downplayed. I spent a lot of money and time on this and am embarrassed and angry at myself for doing so. I can only imagine where I'd be if I had spent that money on something like, say, judo. I'd probably be proud of the black belt I earned.

[@BrokenTengu99]

@ kungfuman82 Well , I've been in about a decade longer than you , also trained with Senou-sensei, Hatsumi-soke, and Nagato-sensei , and I can tell you that you're so full of shit , I don't even know where to begin . Firstly , this is TRAINING , not a preparation for two dudes going head to head in a knock-down / drag-out . And if you payed attention in class , you'd know that the reason that they go slow is so everyone can see and experience the intricacy of techniques and feeling as to move to henka ...not to gratify your ego . You also state that " NO ONE spars " which is also a lie , as many do . Shihan Melvin Williams in Chicago is a fine example of sparring withing the Bujinkan as well as some in the Midwest . Is there " compliance and overacting " ? Sure , and the culprits are put on blast when that happens , by fellow practitioners ( thank you , SM ! ) And the " rumor " that you heard about " registering the Bujinkan Dojo as a church to avoid taxes " is a fabrication . Had you payed more attention in class , rather than contribute to the crap-flinging and rumor mill , then perhaps you would have gotten somewhere with your training .

@ Pestipeto The techniques shown are a starting point . What is derived from them are ' henka ' or variations . If you've never experienced BBT , don't ' ass-ume ' shit . BBT has saved MANY of asses in actual confrontations ...including mine .

[@pestipetobeatz023]

@@BrokenTengu99 It is my opinion. I don't belive it. Waste of time for me; you can always put your style of training on pressure testing. Even with very light sparing with bjj or wrestler/boxer who is beginner. This art has no chance. It's cool for demostration.

@@pestipetobeatz023 Truth doesn't require your " belief " that is fueled by assumption and no experience , and people within various Bujinkan Dojo do " pressure test " what they've learned . Like I said , BBT has saved MANY of asses in actual real-world confrontations ...including mine . That's all the proof I need .

Never see full speed....just slow punches where the arm is left out there..... ridiculous LOL

[@SupermanForever1979]

This system of training is a study of concepts at a level much higher than your understanding. There is more to ''fighting'' than punching, kicking and using speed as your weapon. As demonstrated, this is not an example of fighting, but a method of delivering ideas and concepts which can be applied in a more realistic way in a more natural situation.

[@lucubri1678]

Yes, you are correct on that part this is just study of concepts. And nothing more. Delusional concepts. Not higher state of fighting, just higher state of delusion.

[@lucubri1678]

No he can't. Because he cannot fight. No one have ever seen him fighting or there is any kind of video with him fighting.

Bujinkan is not that much about using the power of your arms or your legs, so it is not a punching or kicking martial arts. Much power is delivered out of the movement of the whole body and being in the right position. It's like a boxer who uses his feet to work on the correct distance all the time. Bujinkan is about distance. I had some training of this and believe me, it's freaking painful. Try a serious strike, I think, you wouldnt even touch a trainend Bujinkan-fighter. It is very likely he is always out of distance or behind you - until he is not, until he rushes into you and strikes on points you even didnt know they existed. Instant death or K.O., broken bones and nerve points, you have the choice. The harder you attack, the more like it is you will die. It's a martial arts without compromise, it's not about getting points, it has been developed in war times, on the battle field, when death was not the option. Keep that in mind. What you see here is performed in slow motion. Of course, nobody would stand there with a long arm. But with short jabs you will never touch a ninja, trust me. By the way: Bujinkan-techniques were mostly developed for "invisible" strikes, so when used, nobody would guess you are a trained fighter. While you think, you have seen something above the belly, a punch, a touch, whatever, actually the ninja stands on your foot makes you fall and you break your ankle. It's so much more than punching and kicking, it's distance, it's "invisible" strikes, it's bringing the opponent out of balance and all movements look "normal", like a normal standing man, who did step forward or backward. From all martial arts I have seen, I would say Bujinkan is the most hard to learn, because it's all about distance, perfect timing and knowledge about human body, how bones are connected, where nerves are, how to bring in the pain. It's really hard, that's why most students look like noobs when they train it. Bujinkan begins with the black belt actually and ends with the 15th black belt. It takes years to performe it right. And Hatsumi does a great job, Bujinkan is really into him and he is into it. And for his age he is still quick. Never felt a pain like this while training it.

The technics are not applicable to urban warfare.

[@davefletch3063]

How so? Urban warfare doesn’t utilize hidden weapons? Covert movement?
