Ninjutsu Grand Master Masaaki Hatsumi in Action Pt. 5

[@eternaltruth1666]

its a true shame that people can't truly appreciate all the hard work and many years of training to takes to master an art, much less understand its core principles.

[@88hyperman]

I would love to train under this master, the worlds only authentic ninja master!

[@GunnarTh3Azul]

ninjutsu is deadly, no lie. but it still comes down to the man behind the art! this sensei is very graceful

[@pablohanc]

He's a scammer, and he's made a career out of it.

[@sctwnd74]

For those suggesting techniques look slow : it is done slow to teach how it is done and also to promote safety. No one in their right mind wants to be liable for injury.

[@pablohanc]

When teaching martial arts, you demonstrate slow, and practice slow a few times..... But you build up the speed (otherwise you're in for a rude awakening when you have to do it for real). The sensei generally will demo fast to show the technique, then slowly to show you how it's done. Where is the fast footage? And where is the footage with someone genuinely trying to resist (ie, not a compliant assistant).

[@JoeyDreyer]

​@@pablohanc, the fast footage demonstrated here, is too fast for you to see or to even fathom! Simply Because you are a mere regular, normal human being. Not Ninja like us! Hope this helps to clear up any confusion! But, if it's any consolation, at least you were able to see some of the slower technique!

[@pablohanc]

@@JoeyDreyer what you've just written is just bull$hit. It's ok if you want to spout it, it's your life. Grand master hatsumi is a fake, his art is no better than McDojo bull and his students are brainwashed.......as are you.

[@pablohanc]

@@JoeyDreyer you're just doubling down on nonsense son.

[@alberick555]

Fitting song “it was only a fantasy “

[@tayfune.207]

Of course this not only "Ninjutsu" but that is the special in bujinkan. The bujinkan tai and ninjutsu are a compilation of 6 Samurai schools (Ryu/Ryuha) and 3 Ninja Schools. Sôke Masaaki Hatsumi deservse respect for his lifetime work.

[@trailrunner78]

Wow, almost all the way to the bottom of the page before someone who actually knows what he's talking about steps up.....thanks. All you guys who think you would kick this guys ass somehow.....LOL.

[@pablohanc]

The only special thing in about Hatsumi is the "special needs" people he fools into believing they are learning something practical.

[@shinobicl]

I've trained ninjutsu (not _REALLY_ related to my nickname which i got from my days playing quakeworld). And i can say that this really works, really hurts, and if did fast it can invalidate someone forever. We used to train so when making grips the opponent should always try to escape Now, in real life, i've mostly "boxed" in fights, but ninjutsu gave me a good sense of space when fighting multiple opponents. And good low kicks too. 8 months ago i had a serious street fight against 2, and won

[@tiffsaver]

What I love about this man is his fluidity and economy of motion, using only the minimal of energy to inflict the maximum amount of pain. What I would give to have this kind of skill.

[@hannorta7302]

Yes he is pretty good. But many think this is not effective and can not be used for real situation. They should not underestimate what this old man is showing. He is very dangerous. He can simple kill somebody. I dont like how they guard them self. But this is not all what is about a fighting system. Time and Future weapons change the way we fight.And from person to person we create the art how we defend our self. in real situation we decide what we use and how.a growing prozess.The pain and the seek for the truth will show you in the battle that we doing something right or wrong. The old Teachings should not be forget and realy like i say before it should not be underestimate by the young generation. To me a martial artist should be effective in his skill even in a high age .Thats what is all about. and to survive. You cant do the things you have done in young age. And thats the very important key for the young one. Dont waste your energy like a bruce lee. You will not survive so long in a real battle, without weapons and for sure not if your ass get old. Yes thats a great skill and knowledge he have. And the funny thing is he is not showing us what he realy can do. Thats here is still childplay! I wish him best and you too.

[@johntwaryonas6552]

Since I first seen this video I now love this song, its only been 4 weeks since the first day I watched this and I've heard this song before, but this live version I like a lot more.

[@MrZillas]

I did this for 4 years and I can tell, thes techniques are very bonebreakin' and very painful. Most of these moves are so quick and so "hidden executed", you cannot imagine their effectness. It's hard to understand what happens in these videos, but I think, each black-belt will agree with me. If you have an eye for these techniques, you know, what actually happens and where it hurts. And THIS is only for demonstration, in a real situation it will be like 5 times faster.

[@oockdercoocjmdndj23]

i dont exactly agree with belt system karate

[@jpw5029]

Dude, these “techniques” are shit, you wasted 4 years. 1 year in any other real discipline and you’d be better than u would of been pretending to be a ninja for 10.

[@dane3038]

Agree. I've trained in this and several other systems. They should rename the system "The Door to Pain". I hate Bullshido as much as the next critical thinker. This is NOT Bullshido.

[@MrZillas]

@@jpw5029 - Let's talk about this again, when 2 thumbs pressed your eyeballs out.

[@ninjafeet7915]

"Hidden Executed", I like that MrZillas

i never thought Pink Floyd and ninjutsu would go together so well

[@3rdeye7thdimension]

@mingofilaz I have never found myself walking around and being attacked inside an octagon out of nowhere. MMA is a sport. Nothing more. Let it go.

[@swoluigi3828]

been 9 years but this is still the most bullshit i've ever heard

[@chitorichristmas8252]

Love this videos much respect to the arts and soke masaki hatsumi!!!!💯 train hard

[@gekiryudojo]

I have trained with everyone on this Video it takes 20 -30 years to learn this art and all these guys have done more than that

[@hannorta7302]

That what real fightig is about, even in old age you can be effective. I like him he seems to be a funny guy.

[@anthonymike1ps4eso85]

Except this is complete bullshit. Someone with a couple months of boxing or wrestling training could quite literally kill this man. Even a guy off the streets probably could

[@Mantuitorull]

@@anthonymike1ps4eso85 Go to a real dojo and try it yourself. Don't belive all that propaganda made on youtube by MMA fanboys. Real martial arts are not for everyone, not everyone can understand them.

[@MrBrianJross]

He is one of the last of the masters and i would love to visit his dojo

[@jesselitogarlit1947]

Wow really like it, this techniques make your opponent satisfy

[@asaradec]

ANY MARTIAL ART OR COMBAT EXPERIENCE INNATELY TEACHES DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, CONTROL, AND SELF-PRESERVATION. These are the truly important techniques! It is the state of mind, that primal survival instinct which resides within us all, that we must utilize to master ourselves. Irregardless of the school of discipline you learn it from, it's doctrine is universal: survive.

[@alejandrobaquerazambrana]

Este señor es un gran hombre!

[@jvandervest2578]

This is a great badass video all around. People can quibble about this and that, and I have vast respect for all Martial arts, but if you've ever trained Ninjitsu workouts, they will challenge you, kick your ass and leave you broken at times lol.

[@Callingyouout-]

I couldn't even imagine the honor of training under him

[@mvpmikey]

Honor? that is not in their dictionary. ...not sure what you are talking about oh, you meant the modern Ninjutsu wanabe teacher for hire? Yeh, they teach using words like honor cause people like you love the word. Any martial arts used by Ninja have already been forgotten and its last practitioner never had any descendants. Their extinct and forever forgotten. ...If someone claims their are, its 100% a lie.

[@mvpmikey]

Dreyas D'Ordin You westerns don't deserve to know

[@Callingyouout-]

I went through a little of your video comments, why are you so bitter? Are you racist or what, u need to start thinking in terms of people not their color or origin. If I knew you I would be ashamed

[@Patrick96322]

+mvpmickey1 ...You obviously don't know about the Bujinkan History!

[@fernandogarcilazoflores1516]

I really want to see the practicers against to the MMA fighters, so they are ashaming to the traditional martial arts with simple techniques, we have to show the true proud of the traditional martial arts

[@KNIGHTANGELSBLADE]

Loved it! Keep up the Music videos..Take Care and Thanks!

[@herasmito]

Love this video. Thank you!

[@shinobicl]

Besides the sense of space, ninjutsu practitioners looks for making damage in many spots in the same movement. A step to a side could be a knee strike in the opponent legs.. a defense becomes an attack against the arms. The thing is, all this is barely noticeable unless you know what to look for. Of course ninjutsu as seen here will not save you, but the real benefits are not evident until you absorb those kind of movements. BTW, i haven't practiced bujinkan ninjutsu in 8 years :( .

[@leecohn]

Great footage....kind of an odd choice of music...and it's not "Learning To Fly," the song is called "Hey You" and it's from The Wall.

[@otreborzedalav1]

Dr. Hatsumi is my hero.

[@consgrl14]

ninjutsu in essence isn't a battle strategy - it's a way of life, involving physical, mental, & spiritual aspects. it's not about doing unnecessary harm to or killing people so much as it is about self-protection and survival. real ninjutsu isn't meant to be a competitive martial art or a technique used by the military, but rather a means of overcoming one's personal inhibitions so that he can defend himself from outside threats.

[@kgunshooter4239]

This song is spot on for this demo "it nothing but a fantasy!"

[@gokharol]

Haha, first video who really got me impressed about ninjas, looks real

[@serenadesilhout]

Realize that learning "ninjitsu" will not make one a ninja.

[@joe12524]

I have just started taijutsu and fell far this art in a big way, Masaaki Hatsumi is yoda I am sure of it, good tune/s for any of his montage is Photek Modus Operandi or Outlook & Mono - Plea Of Innocence.

[@johnceni3902]

i like the music..

[@GettyFan08]

I love the nut strike montage "Let go of my purse! I don't know you!" "BWHAAAAAH!"

[@nicholasvendingco]

funny as the over exaggerated moves may look, the main point everybody misses is that they are designed to teach you balance and flow. even in mma, if you cant keep your center and advantageous positioning relative to what your opponent is doing, you usually lose. its finally making sense after all these years. i had a wrestler try to take me down recently by stepping in and behind me with the leg for a throw setup. i didnt even know what he was doing, i just felt his weight and countered

[@Mortimus101]

@telemetricsT Ninjitsu was around for longer than 300 years, and remember the ninja had to kill in self defense in order to protect themselves and their families, because they were hunted by the samurai because originally the Shinobi(ninja) were called Mountain Mystics because they were seeking self enlightenment, but the priests of the ruling class believed that only priests were allowed to be enlightened and sent their armies to destroy them.

[@obrad79]

When u encounter someone who was in that kind of training and who was in life or death situations in real war that requiered for him to do such things in order to survive and who is trained how to bite to kill how to rip balls to kill how to blind ppl so that he could easier kill them,outside of ring in real war battlefield yours MMA goes right out of the window

[@Recline187]

those partial gloves that he wears, are those spiked? Or was that some type of blade protection?

[@0stfu0]

@justaman6972 what do you expect exactly? how are we supposed to see the techniques if its done at full speed on some random unsuspecting person?

[@johntwaryonas6552]

He has a gentleness in his spirit. I can see this even as he throws them down on the mats, he loves everyone. But I bet if he really wanted to kill you, you would have a heart attack just by looking.

[@Patrick96322]

+John Twaryonas Oh Absolutely ! :)

[@Jacktibby2011]

John Twaryonas this guy would be utterly murdered by a skilled fighter

[@tinwax]

@Arteanor plus, MOST Ninjutsu originated from the city of Iga, not Koka city. Obviously Hatsumi learn't ninjutsu from takamatsu and opened the Bujinkan. Then Tanamura opened the Genbukan, so I'd say our ninjutsu school is extremely authentic and has a heritage that most organisations cannot claim, plus as the Shinobi-Kai, we're the oldest ninjutsu organisation in the UK. Peter Brown sensei helped set up one of the first ninjutsu seminars in Europe with the help of the 'Shadows of Iga'.

[@lninjabigd]

I think his skills with the hambo are insane! Who will be the next grandmaster?

[@mononie]

@leecohn It's both. Great music.You should have stuck around for the whole video. Maybe another time when you are not busy.

[@user-bz8vi6nw4c]

as the teacher explained taijutsu allows for effortless weapon deployment.

[@3rdeye7thdimension]

@redn40 Alright, I invite a question: why are you throwing that quote up?

[@Arteanor]

@Dooshtv it makes perfect sense... he was ASKED about togakure ryu, which he originally taught to hatsumi and tanemura as kukishin ryu ninpo, until AFTER the war when kuki had said no to him opening a branch selling it.... 'did he always call it togakure" no, not at first. first it was kukishin ryu ninpo... i don't understand how you can misunderstand this... i can pull down the quotes from kacem's interviews that say that all of the documents/makimono/densho were written by takamatsu..,.

[@tinwax]

@Arteanor Fujita Seiko... Everyone knows (who is educated in such ways) that Toshitsugu Takamatsu was the last 'real-on-mission' ninja, who trained Hatsumi and Shote Tanamura, ofcourse Tanamura was one of Hatsumi's Shihans who went and opened the Genbukan, which is a harder school than the Bujinkan, similar to how the Gyokko Ryu and Koto Ryu schools are opposites but still sister schools. My sensei Peter Brown was awarded NiDan by BOTH Hatsumi and Tanamura... cant get more authentic than that!

[@xxFairestxx]

(3) The other side to ninjitsu is hidden in the art of something as simple as throwing shaved glass into the enemies eyes, or dropping poison in their drink. The key to the way of stealth is that you are always effective. I hope everyone keeps that in mind. Stealth warrior vs toe to toe brawler...two different experts.

[@femoman]

@mingofilaz We cannot show you a full contact ninjutsu video, because if it was full contact, people would break limbs, or even die.

[@Arteanor]

@fardisghomeshi "This goes even for people who have received very high grades and who present themselves as direct students of Hatsumi sensei. First of all, the densho and makimono were not written by Hatsumi sensei, these are densho and makimono that were written by Takamatsu sensei. Among the densho that Hatsumi sensei received from Takamatsu sensei we find the writing of Ishitani sensei who was one of Takamatsu sensei’s three masters."

[@TheTaekwondo15]

Very Good .

[@lennykusa9025]

He's still the example!

[@joker9494949494]

@student908065 seals are the modern ninjas. ask any seal, they dont fight fare and they dont care if the enemy is sleeping. all that matters is the enemy is dead and the goal is acomplished.

[@sonedeogeehtsne8280]

Beautiful!

[@Arteanor]

@Kkunoichi uh, problem then.... there are no ninjas in the bujinkan... see takamatsu, the guy that taught hatsumi taught him all he did, but told him parts were 'ninjutsu/ninpo'. something that according to bujinkan scholar/member Kacem Zoughari even hatsumi isn't sure. i also think it is a little suspect that he only left the kukishin ryu AFTER he had taught 'kukishin ryu ninpo' to hatsumi and tanemura.... when kuki refused him a branch ryuha, he left and made up togakure

[@zlaja88]

@fardisghomeshi cant agree. yes, it isnt modern, but its definitly not battlefield oriented. The samurai were battlefield oriented, while ninjas were stealth, moslty for espionage, less for assasinations. There were ninjas for combat and battlefields, but they were adapted differently. And im afraid that if a ninja and some other fighter like kickboxer, mauthai or other would fight in a ring and both were not allowed to kill, the ninja would be in a big disadvantage..

[@wilfredofigueroa9114]

Wilfredo Figueroa sorry but soke hatsumi, he isn`t from koga Bujinkan represents the Iga Ryu Ninjutsu his master were from a Iga ninja clan, The Koga Ryu belongs to another line of ninjutsu clans that thought the american gran master Ronald Duncan, and master Frank Dux they learn ninjutsu from koga Ryu clan members, ,, Hatsumi belongs to the Iga Ryu togakure is a Iga school One of the 9 schools of ninjutsu Iga Ryu,

[@marekeos]

This is so stupid, it's actually funny.

[@ponty32]

[@VoyageurCountry]

MrBoneStripper98 for president! I have trained in Budo for a while and that shit hurts! I know just enough to understand: 1. how good Hatsumi Sensei is and 2. How much that shit really hurts! You just have to get your limbs twisted and beaten a couple times before you realize the severe damage that would occur if you did it in an "alive manner". Timopyeon, that's equivalent to saying boxers should only fight barefisted.

[@redn40]

@Wariar11 " In the late 1960s to early 1970s the concept of combining the elements of multiple martial arts was popularized in the west by Bruce Lee via his system philosophy of Jeet Kune Do. Lee believed that "the best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt to any style, to be formless, to adopt an individual's own style and not following the system of styles." To this day, Bruce Lee is known as "father of modern mixed martial arts".

[@Arteanor]

@austinisbroken how isn't that close to what i said? i said that we know ninjutsu isn't a martial art... didn't include martial arts... i will also cite it with the shinobi manuals (bansenshukai, ninpiden, shoninki) and the position of both koryu societies. and what is is that you think hatsumi's students' nationalities has to do with this? so what if they are white? on that note, doesn't the lack of japanese strike you as odd?

[@nicholasvendingco]

by stepping forward/diagonally and moving perfectly with him in the middle of his stepping in. its wierd but i felt what he was trying to do in a split second and countered, pushing him at the right moment using his momentum to push him forward to the ground while i just walked on past him in passing. its really wierd but idk what else to say. it was pretty cool though. he was like wtf that never fails. oh well. sorry

[@tinwax]

@Arteanor A Menkyo Kaiden is just a teachers licence, it doesn't mean that you're the soke of that particular school, it isn't a grade as such, just a recognition, whereas Hatsumi has the Densho for several different ninpo and jujitsu schools, As a Densho is hand written and passed from student to teacher, how authentic is that? VERY! And the fact that Takamatsu never left the country DOESN't mean that he never provided a Nijutsu service to the active government.

[@vtecnegro85]

ninjutsu is probably the most effective martial art....

[@zlaja88]

@mingofilaz i must say that some of those things you said are true. He went down as a feather and and its a floppy demonstration. The reason for this is that ninjutsu is very dangerous and every training must be done with caution. Also all the rolls and falling you see that seem so easy are done so gently thanks to years of training. For the UFC fight, there are always ppl who train but are antitalented or dont put enough effort in traning. not everyone calling themselves masters are masters..

[@nicholasvendingco]

ill post a vid if u want, just let me know and give me a few days. been busy during christmas. ty

[@xxFairestxx]

(2) You need the brawlers like the UFC/MMA fighters on the front lines, bashing faces and breaking skulls. However, you also need the assassin-esque warriors that are slitting throats and causing detrimental damage to the enemy as a whole. You put up a Muay Thai fighter vs a ninja type fighter, it'd be hard to tell. But to be honest, the Muay Thai fighter, if the ninja was good at what he did, would never know he was being stalked and or killed.

[@BMSKARATE]

@mingofilaz MMA Fighters and Ninjitsu practitioners alike are both very skilled artists in their own right. Harping on which is "better" is like debating on which traditional martial art is "better" than the rest. Ninjitsu like other martial arts, teaches skills tailored to the history of which they came. MMA Fighters fight with strict rules in the ring. There's no debate.
