Muzosa Budo Taijutsu on Inside Martial Arts

[@irgordon]

I appreciate the way this instructor explains his philosophy, goes over his reasoning and gives examples of what he is talking about. This is how #martialarts should be taught.

[@mickeogh]

I've decided to come back to training after a number of years off doing other things, this video sums all the things I'm coming back to in a nutshell!

[@townstunsltd6727]

What a great introduction to Budo Taijutsu, what a comprehensive wealth of information! Many thanks Sensei Jeff Christian.

[@negativeionz]

Fantastic taijutsu. Thank you for showcasing our arts so professionally.

[@wtfschindler]

Oh showcase them he did indeed.

[@righteousshadowsdojopt.3979]

Excellent to say the least. I'm lol at some of the comments. People on the outside looking in just don't it. Smh

[@DekeeHo]

One of the best description of Ninpo Taijutsu on KZbin, no many will understand true Ninpo especially ego based martial artists or ninja (movie) fanatics who wannabe / traditionalist. Get home safe... NINPO IKKAN

[@Ben-qm9zq]

Zach D. Ho 💯🙏 Ninpo Ikkan!!

[@righteousshadowsdojopt.3979]

Ninpo ikkan

[@AwakenedJus]

There is no such thing as Ninpo Taijutsu it's a scam made up by Hatsumi to part westerners with their money.

[@anthonynathaniel3994]

"You use instinctively any technique you've learned according to what's happening", for me this holds truth. I trained in Bujinkan for two years and had the unfortunate (yet eye-opening) experience of actually being attacked in the street on my way home. I was able to subdue the attacker using a principle of a technique I learned in class. At the time I didnt think I just reacted - it was only after I got home and reflected on it that I realised the usefulness of the art in defending myself.

[@yagua0500]

True...I've also been in situations where I've neutralize any attacks gracefully based on my training with him back in the late 90's-early 2000's. the training in techniques & especially mindset is priceless.

true but still

[@xdfgsh]

***** knowledge is power

[@xdfgsh]

***** u touché! But I was just joking about the whole throwing a book at him thing haha

[@justinsane11]

I agree at times the showmanship with the rolling and whatnot can make this look gimmicky. But the first thing you learn is how to fall. If these students don't break their falls, their joint, ligaments and tendons will be shredded if they don't follow with his movement. The flip is intended to allow the instructor to follow through with his technique without destroying your partner.

[@Dimension2364]

I just love this! I've been practicing Bujinkan Budo for seven years now and he explains it so well! Thanks for this video!

[@westsidelover79]

Thank you for this video, finally a honest and skill full interpretation of the bujinkan. Seen so many embarrassing videos, this restores hope.

[@AwakenedJus]

Why its not realistic? Lmao

[@claramayllagas]

I hope there's someone who gonna teach Genjutsu, I'll probably join.

[@claramayllagas]

+Terry Harris i was joking it's a supernatural power from Naruto.

[@Diggy22]

I know what you mean. I work in a similar field, and my own martial arts experience have definitely come in handy with taking control of a situation.

[@jamesinct]

that was hilarious ! especially love the way they throw a slow telegraphed punch , then just stand there .

[@vrishankkanagala1514]

The video was just for demonstration, obviously it’s not gonna be like that in a real fight

[@goldestmean]

This is the best gaijin Bujinkan video explanation I've seen yet. There are comments that no one attacks like the way they are in this. But that misses the idea of recognizing the approach, the choice of delivery mechanism and finally the attack. While attacks can change, safe angles are safe angles. This video displays that concept beautifully. Gonna go train now. The bar has been set pretty high :)

[@AyeJordan7]

No this is still not good

[@DeathWarrant90]

part of the Bujinkan is not only learning different techniques, but saving them in a "box" in your mind. There is no answer to what techniques you must use in a situation, 'cause every situation is different. Thus, when attacked, you use instictively any technique you've learned according to what's happening. And all I can say: Practice, and more practice, and the moves come by themselves without thinking

[@dmitritr]

Awesome video! Thanks a lot! Very impressive and inspirational!

[@kungfuninja314]

Very very good, great representation of the art.

[@joe12524]

I work with violent mentally ill "clients" and this art saved me a few times from some sticky situations bufu ikkan.

[@DevelopingDreamsFoundationInc]

Yes probably the best taijutsu, video i have seen, great job i bet you are an amazing teacher.

[@andrewgarcia4600]

I died when he book-slapped that dude.

[@kamacazi8]

How did you write this then?

[@RekLawXeRo]

Awesome Video, Jeff.

[@delinquentgod]

ninjitsu will teach you a number of basics from several Japanese martial arts. it's a great way to try lots of different things and see what you like. it's not for everyone but what have you got to lose? i've been training for 2 years. it can be very painful. it is very useful. forget the image of "ninjas" and do it to better yourself. i have also trained in karate, aikado, judo and systema. this works best for me.

[@anthonynathaniel3994]

Right on. You should train with the intention of actually going into 'battle' as it were. The problem with certain martial arts is that they turn all of the movements into a dance-like form and practitioners lose sight of what the techniques are actually trying to achieve. If one does not attain the mindset of defending themselves then all they have is a glossary of movements for which they have no use.

[@maceioninjutsu]

Ol school training Jeff gotta love it! These 90s instructors need to learn from the 80s bujinkan guys! Greetings from Chicago bujinkan great work

[@MsBorodatch]

Hello)) I do not know if I compare. Video by Vladimir Vasiliev was recorded before, and contains the same motion. Even the words are the same. We can assume that it Vasiliev and Ryabko use taijutsu technique. But where is the video and books written before the grandmaster Vasiliev?

[@alancalleja]

exellent stuff thnx alot for posting!!!!

[@lukerobinson9646]

this guy gets it

[@markjrich1]

This is a great explanation of the Bujinkan with some excellent technique. Impressive!

[@kyotonyc]

Sensei Jeff movement's it soo effortlessly simple but my experience training with him i find complex and mysterious in treating to know more. It is a honor to have opportunity training under supervision Sensei Jeff. He has elevated my taijetsu to multiple levels where i can't even comprend but i just keep going even in my darkness moment. Thank you for your words of wisdom and more.

[@ninpobudo3876]

His movements are good but then again he's doing whatever he wants to someone who isn't resisting him.

[@ChiaroXOscuro]

I actually agree with this. I'm lucky in that I train with a group that expects real attacks from the Uke, and for the Tori to respond realistically. I know though that there are a lot of groups that don't train that way, which saddens me.

[@symonedmead1067]

Amazing video.

[@tonganeitor]

Nice work

[@rogerkreil3314]

Just remember whatever you do to someone, you will have to justify in court.

[@clementinogisondi5202]

i really like this

[@TheRabbitpaws]

The only issue I have with some of these multiple defense situations where a person is grabbing your left arm and another your right arm is that the choreography looks good and possibly could work, IF the people continued to hold onto the arms when you went into your technique of throwing them. Also, you're not taking account that the people holding onto you aren't skilled in grappling themselves. So while I can appreciate the applications of a form into self defense I just dont' think it practical that a guy holding your arm would NOT let go when you try to throw him to the ground. IF he was locked up or trapped that's different but the technique shown is the guy holding onto the arm and NOT letting go as he goes to the ground. Again I'm all for applications of form into self defense I think the attacks need to be more eclectic then is shown.

[@stephanrogers8947]

Because you couldn't grab their arms back?

[@ninpobudo3876]

You're correct mate

[@spiritualnofwup9555]

Regular ninja practiced hunting techniques, street fighting, dirty kenpo and infirmal jujutsu (bearing close resemblances to aikijutsu and judo)

[@ANGELSGYMSINGH]

For the person critiquing this art, the techniques and its combative applications.... Control of a situation starts with control of ones self. if a Martial Artist uses the 10,000 rule for his/her genral training and applies it to the specific aspects of that training (mentally, physically, emotionally) then they will be ready for an uninitiated aggressor. If his/her training is pugilistic then they will be rady for multiple uninitiated aggrssors. From what I see this man may use this standard.

[@daniellica6145]

antes eu práticava kung fu doze punhos de shalin.hoje eu deixei kung fu de lado e resolvi lutar taijutsu,que combina mma,judo e junjitsu

[@MVK_GS]

I won't compare arts. That argument never gets anywhere. I will say, however, that I am personally very skeptical of what I see here. Certainly, the people demonstrating have put many years into their training and they are likely very honest when they believe it will work. So, I don't see it as deception. But, from my own experience, I would never advice attempting much of what I see here against someone determined to really harm you. It's just my opinion and much respect to the people portrayed here for their dedication to their art.

[@Kev80ification]

+Juan Perez I agree completely. I love the traditional arts but stuff like we witnessed here will not against a guy, or men, with violent intent. The distraction stuff is good but the rest would want to be pressure tested for their sake.

[@ActuallyJozu]

Yeah, I agree. I don't see catching someone's full power/full speed punch at the bend of the elbow then wrapping your arm around their's to make them do a back flip being realistic. In every demonstration I've seen of this stuff as soon as the demonstrator touches the other person or catches their punch the attacker freezes in place and follows the motion of the demonstrator. In a real life scenario if someone is attacking you, with the intent of beating your ass or even killing you, catching their punches and flipping them around with one hand is not going to work. That's why you never see these guys who train this stuff at actual martial arts and grappling competitions. If they tried this on the mats or in the ring they wouldn't be effective at all and be beaten very handedly.

[@ActuallyJozu]

I couldn't agree more. People are not gonna ever attack you in exactly the same way you are taught in a demonstration. It's a completely different scenario when you have a raging person charging at you and swinging at you to seriously harm you. A lost of bogus self-defense and martial arts classes do not even spar. I began as a child and I believe it's the only way (outside of being in a real fight) that can actually prepare you for real scenarios. Competitions are also great to prepare you for a real street fight where actually severe bodily harm is at stake. Nothing will actually prepare you like a real fight will though. Street fights have no rules and can be utter chaos and violence. Drilling techniques over and over with a compliant partner will never train you enough for a street fight.

[@edgaralido9533]

Do you have an instructional DVD for this??

[@superpigforlife]

watch out guys we got a bad ass over here

[@yagua0500]

[@herasmito]

Awesomeness! Sweet sweet taijutsu!! :)

[@PeuRo]

(Part 2 too :P KKKK ): If a guy want to know self defence for an emergency, so they need some technique of self defence for emergency. Bujinkan is for life. You live better. If you go for the true marcial art itself, so you will become better on your mind. Its hard to believe unless you look for it. Oh! I'm sorry if I somehow disrespect you. I'm just trying to explain to you. Probably that's not the marcial art you identified. Yoy need to do what you like to do! Thanks for your considerations!^^

[@farghom]

the problem with bujinkan is that Dr hatsumi gives teaching credentials to any Joe 6 packs that walks off the street with out checking for proper mental, psychological, and emotional stability. as the result u have unstable and sometime bad people teaching this art. the tragic part is that because of this good innocent people are severely hurt.

[@elsorzis5692]

@Justin Stout Psycopath? Why do you make that claim? do you know him?

[@mariacruz07]

That book scene was very Jackie Chan lol loved it.

[@JissenDojo]

Awesome!

[@MVK_GS]

If one looks at the uke on the right side at 1:46 of the video, she essentially stops fighting for a full 5 seconds to allow the tori to complete the technique. By stopping, she also negates the very power of her movement (kinetic) during the attack. Imagine an enraged attacker in her place while an equally motivated attacker is on the other side. The best thing the students in this particular school could do - rather than attempt any of what we see here - is simply to run away fast. Much better chances to come out alive, period.

[@Dead2Zamorak]

I dont know why people criticize bujinkan so much.... I am not a master, but at least where I train we are not told to hold back... instead they tell us that if we dont strike like it would happen in real life situations or partner will not learn. Of course first we practice the movements in a passive way because in that way you get used to doing the moves.

[@hgfxjnn]

Yeah I look this up because honestly I never heard of this style of martial arts. I heard of this from just walking past a dojo and send how this style of fighting arts is actually good for "survival." In other words you trained to kill, or immobilizes your enemies. Am going to study this for defensive propose only. Am not a violent guy, but where I live I need to protect myself.

[@vikitheviki]

Your taijutsu is very good :)

[@rickstevens7292]

Where’s my pistol? This reminds me of yellow bamboo...

[@ChiaroXOscuro]

If your in a good dojo, thats only the beginning. Once you get a technique down, you should be training with a fully resisting opponent at least occasionally. In my dojo at least we are expected to be able to deal with follow up attacks as well as multiple attackers. As for the passivity, some of it is because if the technique is used in real life you would have caused them pain enough at some point that they would not be thinking of resisting, though we also train for if that fails.

[@abdullahalmoreb4580]

[@elijahrose5992]

Ancient ninjas didnt learn a specific martial art, they learned what there clan picked up, which was usually jujutsu, karate or some form of kung fu that found its way to Japan, therefore this is classified as bullshit

[@Jeff-0012]

This doesn't say 'Ninjutsu' or that it's a specific martial art. Bujinkan is actually a collection of several arts learned by Takamatsu that came from both Samurai and Ninja lineage.

actually there are about 2000 kata in the 9 schools of the Bujinkan I know I have them all down on paper

[@nicktomlinson8701]

can I have a copy?

[@MsBorodatch]

To use a mechanical transfer during a philosophical discussion ... Thank you all for the reaction)). Wikipedia has told a lot of Taijutsu. I also began to jujutsu and agrees that the right road a lot. I pointed out the resemblance Systems and Taijutsu, as well as the fact that the words of the master on the same video with the words Vasiliev. Hello, and success in the arts

[@DannyHDorf]

I do Wing Tsun and I can somewhat relate to this...Principles are simple and effective, I can't see any magic just physics so-real stuff...but the problem with my Wing Tsun and this Bujinkan is that you have to train and work very hard and very long to actually be really effective against let's say 3-4 guys on the streets...

[@carzoparazzo9698]

I arrived 9 years later but Im agree, some martial arts like this needs several hard training and body understanding in order to stand on the streets. On the other side sport combats are simple and faster to learn.

[@wtfschindler]

Seems like an exceptional instructor with a warriors heart. But coming from a booj student of several years, these techniques are crap. And honestly a disservice to anyone who thinks they can tie up multiple attackers with the flick of a wrist. Wake up folks - ninjutsu will get you killed in the street.

[@bfnew4440]

This guy would die in a real fight, period

[@NovaScotiaNewfie]

Does "justsu" refer to war. When do stresses personal development? Also does Togakure Ryu still exist? I mean Togakure Ryu is what Takamatsu Sensei taught. So when Hatsumi Sensei developed he took aspects of Togakure Ryu that he brought into the Bujinkan but it's not the entire Togakure Ryu curriculum is it?

[@RighteousBeard]

'Jutsu' means "art" or "skill", the same character for 'Shu' in chinese Wushu

[@ilaninglis]

they do have all the school, or all that's left.

[@raisedbybears1991]

'Jutsu' can be translated to mean technique. A Jutsu was something samurai and soldiers practiced for war (kenjutsu being sword fighting, jujitsu being unarmed grappling/disarming/joint locks/throws, etc.) The other side if the coin is 'Do', which meant art or way. Do were martial exercises safely practiced for spiritual refinement and self-betterment, with minimal emphasis on practicality (kendo essentially being fencing, with padded armor and fake blades, Judo being a composite system of limited throws and holds practiced for physical conditioning and mental development). In modern times many 'Jutsus' are learned for giggles and many 'Dos' can be utilized in combat, as at this point those terms just apply to the original intent of the style, but most styles that were Jutsus are now taught for self defense and most Dos became popular sporting events internationally and extracurricular activities in Japan. I'm certainly not sitting on any styles (Judo mam myself), but Jigoro Kano (founder of Judo) believed it should be practiced as an almost meditative art, with emphasis on character building, expanding one's knowledge of anatomy and encouraging comradarie amongst all people, saving the self defense applications and striking attacks for advanced students and disapproving of its inclusion in the Olympic games for fear it would become too competition-orientated.

[@clementinogisondi5202]

falling on wooden floor and falling on tatami have their own benefits. i prefer styles where the body is tenderized (hardened)

[@MsBorodatch]

First, thanks for the comments and reactions. I came to your conclusion based on a comparison of available videos. This video is a repetition of educational films by Vladimir Vasiliev. Even the words are the same. But Vasiliev took his movies before this video. This video certainly liked it, but I would like to compare the original data. With best wishes. ))))

[@TheMrgamerbat]

i was going to do Wing chun kung fu but now im going to train ninjutsu, taijutsu

[@JeffChristian]

When I first started training in '83, we were told there were no kata in the Bujinkan. That turned out to be untrue, but we spent quite a few years just working techniques and scenarios. I can say that after nearly 30 years, the path to formlessness in the Bujinkan is much more complex than just techniques and scenarios (although clearly still essential). But that's the path in the Bujinkan -- I speak for Systema, and I firmly believe there's more than one path to the top of the mountain.

[@JustinStoutArt]

You call what you did training? hanging around talking shit for years collecting ranks isn't what I would consider training.

[@gijoemolinaro]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. ..hilarious to think this stuff would work today xxx

[@GeneticAlgorithm]

You get the same point as me, there are only few techniques that really works on real fights and I'm not talking about MMA. People think your opponent will just stand in front of you waiting for your moves. In case of the MMA, there is no rules in the streets. But martial arts has its jewels, I think Muay Thai for standing combat and Jiu Jitsu for ground with some self defense training (like krav magá) is really worthy of training if you like martial arts. Now if you want to protect yourself buy a gun because it is a lot easier and no martial arts can beat the bullet speed.

[@gijoemolinaro]

Oh yes I'm glad someone can tell that I know nothing about martial arts and that I'm an armchair hero from such comments I can only wish to aspire to such insightful knowledge and make assumptions like that lol ... deary me

[@gijoemolinaro]

Well its like this Alex ...because I don't think he's really moving them dude! With all due respect I think they're offering him minimal resistance because of whatever reason either crap biomechanics or just politeness...I don't know ??? all I know is what I see and what I see is comical that's all happy now? Lol ah man I'm traumatised by him!!!! enough already!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@GeneticAlgorithm]

Your enemy will not stand waiting you to grab his arms and do your stuff. You don't need to be a master in martial arts to see that kind of stuff will rarely work. The most simple is your technique more efficient, easy and fast you will be. And you're wrong, I'm training martial arts since my childhood, and the first thing I've learned was to face my limitations and not be blind by my skills and training. You can overcome your limits, but you still are a human being. Bruce Lee said once: "The hardest thing in life is to be honest with yourself". I'm being honest, I don't train martial arts because I want to kick 20 men like in hollywood movies. Is a way of life, and I will not lie, if your only goal on martial arts is to protect yourself okay, after months of hard training you will start doing some nice moves, but using a gun, is easier, cheap, and more effective.

[@tonywilliams49]

***** the tori attacks the uki. Both must attack and defend in such a way that they can go to work the next day. If they hurt each other how can they learn. That is why the attack and defense is controlled.

[@ShyBurgos]

WOW i forgot i got my butt handed to me during this. Oh fyi all those sounds are Jeff beating me up!!!

[@JustinStoutArt]

Or you allowing him to beat you up is more accurate.🙄

[@ANGELSGYMSINGH]

However, critique of every art is a good thing as the martial arts has a purpose. That purpose is to enhance the mental, physical and emotional ability of the practitioner. When that adept who uses the 10,000 hour pugilistic rule meets another who has done the same there will only be respect as they both know a harmony born of innr security from outer harm. It is at this point exercises involving Spiritual growth can begin. Healing practices of self and others now grant the title of master...

[@dguerrero115]

4:40 hahahaha. thats amazing

[@fernandiwxbc13]

[@ChiaroXOscuro]

This. If you train initially against a resisting opponent you wont learn how the technique works. Resistance should only come after learning.

[@ChiaroXOscuro]

@Solas O'Dimm 1) way to dredge up an 8 year old comment 2) Yes, I've done martial arts for a long time, and 3) the reason you don't start out training against a resisting opponent is because you have no idea what you're doing or how the technique works when properly applied the first time you do it. If your partner is resisting, you won't learn HOW the technique is supposed to work, and you could injure them through your lack of knowledge. You practice against resistance once you know what you're doing. If you rush to build a foundation, don't be shocked when your house falls down.
