Ep17: The Ninja - Stephen K Hayes

[@azadzeeman1243]

Possibly one of the most interesting interviews of Hayes. Such a great voice to listen to. Very inspiring. Love the way he described how it all began. The meeting in the inn.

[@normangriffin5227]

He's a good man he isn't pompas about who he is he is humble and kind loved this thanks

[@MrFabiomassid]

Pompous

[@shogun_arasaka]

He's a fraud and a liar.

[@Initium1000]

@@shogun_arasaka I like this channel but yea I follow Martial Arts as well and I agree with you.

[@shogun_arasaka]

@@Initium1000 Good man :) It's well known in the industry.

[@solidsnx]

Stephen Hayes has lived an extraordinary life. I feel honored hearing about his experiences. I really enjoy his teaching style as well.

[@samgarrod4781]

I learnt Judo, Ju-Jitsu, a little Karate as a child. Alongside Sho Kosugi, Sir Hayes was a bit of a hero of mine.

[@TacShooter]

I read what I believe was his first book, hardbound in black cloth, when I was 14, in the mid-80s. His books certainly gave me something to focus on for a couple of years. Then I joined the Army, where the approach was different. I didn't expect his voice to be so deep and "country". I love hearing more of the details of the story I read about in the first book. I went to only one lesson by a teacher of Togakure-ryu Ninjutsu. Most of what I learned about it was from the books. I will say that while I was in the Army, I more than once hid in a room with people in it and no one knew I was there. The stealth techniques were immediately useful.

[@TacShooter]

@Righteous Shadows Dojo Ah, well, it had his origin story and some fundamentals of Ninjutsu, so it was a good introduction. What was the title of his first?

[@rameshkrishnan4492]

Even I was amazed n captivated by Stevs books.

[@MrS85755]

Such a well done interview, as always

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

Many thanks for this insightful interview! I had the privilege of training with Hayes sensei and Hatsumi sensei in the 80's.

[@danjim249]

i've arrived too late for hatsumi, and too poor to travel to Hayes, so you have been lucky, whilst i'm lucky to be just enough geeky to run the internet in search of those time delayed teachings.

[@hancehinerman8099]

Great interview! Anshu Hayes is such an incredible human being 🙏🙇🏼‍♂️

[@stevek.hayesmma7334]

Prob is.. but his ninja stuff .. is a JOKE

Thank you for this.

You're welcome!

[@top5paranormal254]

His opening story made me cry.

[@renehenriksen1735]

He is the most cool Westerner. He´s authentic and has good hunch for psychology and human nature in general. I like the way he says: " - 23 books later I proved this guy wrong."

[@uphilliceskater]

Awesome interview! You should have way more subscribers.

[@top5paranormal254]

Great interview!

[@danjim249]

I made my way into security domains, with and without uniforms, while continuing martial arts because i was the bullied one in each and every school i was put into. Even in Judo, i became bullied by higher "belts" that used the youngster to practice their advanced (for our level) techniques while forcing us to take the hits. Once Bruce Lee died, we were hit by the huge Ninja Boom, in my country. We had bad teachers, liers, etc.. but at the end, when you search, you find, at the end.. i was driven in my search to meet some important teachers, each of them having their own human fails, but still teaching with passion and truth. Sadly never met Hatsumi, but Ninjutsu started in the serious way because of Sir Hayes books. It was such exactly finely explained and had a resonance with my desire for justice (after some time dreaming about revenge.. but not violent people end up abandoning killing dreams) , that is started a long path full of surprises , marvelous discoveries and some accomplishments, such as leveling into the transmission stage. At the end, what sweats from your art, is always your personality. And there is a saying that went correct in my own life "god flattens the path" when you live like he likes.. and you happen to like as well.

[@AndyKowal-gi8bc]

Second best Ninja in the world in my opinion

[@simongaudry1951]

Your a legend of the psychology of fighting .Ninjutsu is probably the best art, with its mind body and spirit path. it's complete.it really was the art of war.

[@drsssssssss]

Hatsumi was skilled in iado judo and japanese jujitsu...then he dubbed himself a ninja...he road the wave through rebranding what was basic level japanese martial arts.

[@nubian47]

Ronald Duncan compiled a Ninja exhibition team at Madison square garden in 1967. Stephen Hayes was fourteen.

[@hamstring6792]

In 1967, nobody had yet heard of ninjutsu. That was convenient for Duncan. He could get away with a combination of karate and jujutsu, add some weapons, call it ninjutsu and nobody would be the wiser, even if he couldn't prove his alleged lineage. Hayes has an actual verifiable lineage.

[@TwoForTwentyFilms]

Duncan was a fraud. There is not one single proof of a living traditional koga ninjutsu ryu. Where did Duncan learn "koga ninjutsu"? Name of his teacher and the ryu? No one can answer this simple questions, because it was all a big lie from Duncan.

[@rameshkrishnan4492]

I see an AUM in Senseis dojo '. That's great. ❤️

[@DjMakurimaru]

Steve was my good friend Takuan in his past life. However others are too. Souls spread.they also combine into newer souls. At 7 years old you start to forget until 9. Then your body is free of old experience. Steve and I are rare old souls.

[@maxfrank13]

Which book of his are you quoting from?

[@GuruViking]

Mostly 'Heart of Light, Blade of Thunder'

[@maxfrank13]

Thank you.

[@weshayes5444]

How u doing sensi

[@Dcassimatis]

Steve Hasn't changed a bit,... gotta love him for bringing Ninjutsu to the world,... even if he's a bit narcissistic,... he is responsible for Ninpo's exposure to the world.

[@thomasstillman4805]

What would have happened if he decided to go to Northern Japan, and found the Yamabushi!

[@atticusfinch6038]

This dude’s life is interesting as hell

[@douglashagan65]

Well yeah it's interesting the journey of your life from beginning of childhood to the present and you're always talking about presents it's kind of like being in the now of who we are what we're made up of the essence of our spiritual natures who we are some interesting but yeah it's been a journey just keeping tabs on what you're doing and your work because I was reading a lot of your books and interesting enough looking at a lot of different martial arts and I decided on just doing a media update on taijitsu and ninjutsu I was telling a little bit about the you know cooking ninja and how they fought each other and eagle ninja was the last guy matsumi Hatsune like the guy that you're training under was one of the last ninjas left of the eagle tribe the eagle Ninja or I can Ninja so he was quite a master I was looking at some of his videos with different types of weaponry and hand-hand combat so he was amazing I've seen that you doing seminars I think it was in England or something that your annual seminars and ninjutsu training interesting other than that it's been a very interesting I've seen it I got a couple books recently written by authored by you Stephen Gay's but they're in German but I still understand a little bit of German and I can buy the photographs they're in the book I'm able to see your work kind of interesting hard to get books by you I guess you'll look up maybe see what you're doing with your website books rare books on martial arts usually end up unfortunately in other people's hands all the time so I've had a lot of books but there I don't have a lot of books now because people want my books and then they buy my books and then I never see him again and then I try to get my books and I can't get them but I'm gradually starting to get my books back I caught on used book stores and I find one book at a time which now I'm just reading those and totally understanding different types of kung fu like I was studying a couple rare books on one's on crane style kung fu and another one was on praying mantis so those were pretty cool pretty rare books the white crane so online there are a few practitioners interesting soft style we're back in with 1600 ad that a white crane was fighting an ape and the white crane defeated the eight even though the ape was much stronger the white crane could use its wings to deflect the punches and it could use the jumping kick similar to which using karate kid it would attack the soft parts of the apes the news eyes anything that was the key vital points or soft points so it was very interesting I think that Bruce Lee actually the master of Wing Chun actually developed off of white crane because that white crane star was the softest style and so is Wing Chun soft it was taught to a woman who later taught

[@gbosnjak62]

In younger years of Steven k Hayes he was handsome guy Now he look very loveable old man ... very easy to love him He look like Popeye He is incredible human being

[@tariktimsiline2617]

I suppose this is the episode from the Lassie series Mr Hayes talked about : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2THlWmwpZaaY5Ifeature=shared

[@douglashagan65]

I've read very a lot of your volumes of the ninjutsu they're very interesting it's a different way of looking at martial arts it just fire water Earth a different types of elements how they contradict each other yet they are all part of what makes up nature as a whole the world we live in before elements which everything in the world is made up of those elements so that's the interesting thing you have an explanation of of the world that we live in in your martial arts techniques which I found was interesting weaponry I guess you got involved with sticks bows on different types of tonfa and studied nunchuck nunchucks right now I can but yeah long staff different types of things that the Shaolin amongst study in the temples which I found were interesting where is the weapon is just an extension of the hand itself a key door which is extension of key energy so extending key actually the samurai was fighting people on horseback that's when the master of the keto came along I guess.. Steven seagal when he was in Japan which was interesting that guys work more I I will just more I which is the master of okito which Steven seagal was a descended of before the master died so I guess it's the goal was the highest rank of a keto under a Matsu boots Toshiba

[@douglashagan65]

Well it's a all of us are seeking the same thing we're all trying to find the truth we're always trying to find you know you might be search all the different religions but what you find out that like the dalai lama says that it's just that there's many ways to the top of the mountain there it is and it's we're all seeking the highest spiritual level which Buddha said that we none of us can attain will probably only gets about the eighth level or something and so it's the road to truth really or the we're all on the road to Nirvana but we all are going up a different trail we're all hiking up different trails so what are what we're seeking is the truth and that's what we we all are the same searching for The emptiness and trying to fill that up so they could we could be whole but that journey you're always distracted in our life is always a story about a man a monk who I is distracted by something loses its concentration and goes off track so then later he because he's distracted he finds his concentration again focus gets back up on the elephant and then he he's on a spiritual journey again trying to get to a higher level of spiritual growth with a spiritual journey to the top of the 10th level of not going out or whatever it is nirvana

[@Dan.50]

I bought all of his books back in the 80's. I want a refund! Lol!!

[@emssherill]

Also know as the man.

[@douglashagan65]

Well I hope I get back with you and learn some of your technique we'll see you're probably one of the last American ninjas because the US has you know you've been the spearhead of ninjutsu teachings in America and I made it all possible because before then nobody heard of anything about a ninjutsu they thought it was some type of mysticism or something that was in steamy cloud or something missed that was not for real but actually when I started reading your books it is authentic there's actually it is real and there is such thing as a ninja

Fulfilled Matthew 26:67, Mark 6:3, Luke 4:28-29, Luke 23:18 Psalm 34:20 Not one of His bones will be broken (typically the legs were broken at the end of crucifixion). Fulfilled John 19:31-33 Zechariah 12:10 They will look on Him whom they pierced. Fulfilled John 19:34,37 John 20:27 Isaiah 53:8 He will be taken from judgement and be killed for the sins of others. Fulfilled Luke 23:24,46, 1 Corinthians 15:3 Isaiah 53:9 He was to be buried with the wicked but it was with the rich at his death. Although He had comitted no violence or deceit. Fulfilled Matthew 27:57-60 Psalm 16:10 and Psalm 49:15 His body will not decay in the grave. Fulfilled Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20 Psalm 68:18 He will ascend on high. Fulfilled Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51 Jesus was exactly who He claimed to be Sir. Remember: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Bugei Ryūha Daijiten, 1969, page 537, Watatani & Yamada 戸隠流( 忍 ) Togakure-ryū (nin) 高松寿嗣が、大正後の忍術読物の流行を利用して新しく編成した 系譜である。戸田真竜軒の口伝による伝承という。戸田真竜軒( 一 心斎 )は明治十三年に七十三歳にて死去。高松はそれより四年後 の生誕。この系譜によれば、異匀という者より発し、養和年間の 白雲道士の白雲流より分かれ、甲賀・伊賀両流の忍術になり、百 地三太夫の系統を経て、紀州落名取流に入り、戸田信綱以降は戸 田氏に伝承したことになっている。しかし、その系譜は、諸伝の 資料や口伝を参照して、潤色を加えた点が多く、文献上実在の人 物も、実際より年代を古くしているなど、なかなか苦心の労作で ある。 Takamatsu Toshitsugu ga, Taishō ato no ninjutsu yomimono no ryūkō wo riyō shite atarashiku hensei shita keifu de aru.

Thanks to Professor Peter Goldsbury for the English translation below. This is a genealogy newly put together by Takamatsu Toshitsugu, who made use of (took advantage of) the popularity of written materials on ninjutsu after the Taishō era. The transmission is said to be based on oral teachings of Toda Shinryūken. Toda Shinryūken (Isshinsai) died in Meiji 13 at the age of 73. Takamatsu’s birth took place four years later. According to this lineage, the ryū originated with a person named Ikai, separated from Hakuun Dōshi of Hakuun-ryū in the Yōwa era, became the Kōga and Iga-ryū of ninjutsu, passed through the lineage of Momochi Sandayū, entered the Natori-ryū of Kishū domain, and from Toda Nobutsuna onwards came to be passed down by the Toda clan. However, this genealogy refers to a variety of traditions and oral teachings, there are many points where it has added embellishments, it has made people whose real existence is based on written records older than is actually the case, and so it is a product of very considerable labor." "Dr. Hatsumi was asked many years ago to provide documentation of some of his lineage for admittance to the Kobudo Shinkokai, perhaps the most reliable of the major organizations of traditional Japanese martial arts, and according to Donn Draeger, in a conversation to me, he was not able to provide documentation which proved his lineage to their satisfaction. Thus, there are uncertain areas in Dr. Hatsumi's lineage."
