Ninjutsu Kamae and important kata | AKBAN daily training recommendation

Yossi Sheriff, the AKBAN academy founder www.akban.org/a... - shows the basic important kata that are done at the beginning of Ninjutsu training session.
Music and percussion in this video are by @Ran Levari from AKBAN
Video photography and editing by I. S. & Avinoam Sharon
Go to www.akban.org/w... For a thorough look at one part of the AKBAN documentation project.
These kata were picked from the syllabus of the Takamatsu den Ninjutsu - Budo Taijutsu.

[@AkbanOrg]

This kata sequence is for us the bread and butter thing and we do this every day. We are mighty glad that practitioners find this useful.

[@AkbanOrg]

We don't mix MMA and Ninjutsu, certainly not here. MMA is a great sport. We are not preparing competitors for the arena. MMA is a popular definition now, so when someone wants to understand and asks, what Ninjutsu is, one can answer: "Ninjutsu / Budo taijutsu is a traditional MMA". and it won't be far from the truth.

[@dimitrioskaragiannis1169]

Thank you for your great channel Sir and the teachings you share with us ❤ !

[@AkbanOrg]

Always welcome 🙏🏻

[@TFfan75]

Just goes to show how much basic`s can do! "Showbo" is something anybody can wip up, but to have a solid understanding of basic Ninjutsu is a rear thing! great video:) (Go Dan)

[@blasvillamayor1]

A real ninja 👌

[@ninjamaster73]

Superb video, awesome form you guys (AKBAN) have always remained on the path.

[@LuxiusDK]

Beautiful performance and explanation of the kamae.

Too Much Respect For Akban👏Oss Sensei Sheriff 🙏🥋

[@AkbanOrg]

OSS!

[@danielappleby9375]

Great Kata, just started training Bujinkan, thank you for the influence.

[@AkbanOrg]

For a strong and well-rounded view, I respectfully suggest exploring the extensive materials here www.akban.org/wiki/Portal:_Ninjutsu Understanding perspectives is key.

[@danielappleby9375]

Thank you so much, this is my first Japanese art that I have studied. Great stuff. The link is very helpful for understanding the art. Thanks again!

[@christulloch3473]

You guys have some amazing videos, your teachers breakdowns of the techniques. The way he explains how and why they work are excellent. It's crazy to see techniques i recognise in my Xingyiquan and Shuai Jiao(chinese wrestling) practice in ninjutsu of all things. I especially see a lot of evidence of Convergent evolution in throwing techniques. I have been practicing your kicks in my SanDa training. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@AkbanOrg]

Thanks +Chris Tulloch, may you train for many years!

[@blasvillamayor1]

PERFECTIBILIDAD...VERY VERY GOOD...GENIO!!!💛

[@AkbanOrg]

Thank you very much!

[@kennithdupree7534]

Your Taijutsu is so realistic and powerful. I would even say it's practical. 🤔

[@AkbanOrg]

Thanks, I'll pass it on to my instructor. Good to know that our video might be useful.

Nice, we'll use that line from now on

[@rnstuardo32]

thanks for share your knowledge, I love it the music

[@giukey6278]

Cool , you guys from Akban make very good videos. Btw, I hate it when people want to compare it to UFC or something like this. Ninjutsu is a martial art, not just some sport. A true martial artist always tries to avoid conflicts and live in peace with nature. I love because it offers a great variety, not just pure force, but also training with different weapons etc

[@AkbanOrg]

Thanks! I'll pass it on to my instructor.

[@AkbanOrg]

[@AkbanOrg]

Hira ichimonji is mainly a Kukishinden ryu stance, though not only. To find out more you can google: "Hira ichimonji no kamae, horizontal stance - Ninjutsu, AKBAN" for the AKBAN wiki article about it. Of course, the article is not complete as there are at least 5 different kata and many more henka (variation) to this stance. If you can't afford the time to search then, in a nutshell, Hira ichimonji deals with protecting oneself or a dear one against a broad angle of possible threat.

[@einrichseinhardt8979]

excellent form!

[@mylander666]

[@ryuboryaku]

[@AkbanOrg]

Notice that Hanin no Kamae is the only Kamae with no Kata. When I asked Yossi Sheriff about it he said that this finger placement appears in Gyokko ryu muto dori henka.

[@AkbanOrg]

Great video my friends. I enjoyed the energy ;)

[@MKultradude]

With all the internet censorship that might happen it would be cool if AKBAN did a full down-loadable ninjutsu wiki.

[@gsfrel]

Very Nice!

[@jaybradley100]

Great video still not sure how to remember tho

[@irontoad123]

great production. great content. good use of ghost effect to show application. interesting technique by ninja dog. just lying there; very stealthy

[@AkbanOrg]

Always have a ninja dog in frame. That has been our motto

[@irontoad123]

excellent. recommend a bezenji no bark. love all your practical demos.

[@elchacal31]

Hey i'm new in your community, i'm suscribed i loved all your videos and i just wanted you to know that you are really cool, and you seemed to have achieved a mastery in martial arts, congratulations, i hope some day i'll be like you (:

It's very nice. but how can you mix two martial arts such as mma and ninjutsu .. won't that be a distraction .. nice video

[@Death_User666]

teach us more!

[@AkbanOrg]

The wiki is missing many kata from kukishinden, Fudo ryu jutaijutsu and some Takagi. At the current rate of documentation we are looking at 12 more years... Thant is the problem with grassroots efforts like the AKBAN wiki - the lack of business model and money makes development slower.

[@UnseenLightForce]

It's a great kata. It would be much better if you explained each move carefully step by step because I can't be sure that I'm doing it right if I decide to make it a daily routine.

[@syrea793]

Kamae (stances) rather than kata (sequences) but each has a sequence attached, they just aren't practiced as kata 😀

[@firestarter8151]

domo arigato gozaimasu!

[@AkbanOrg]

🙏🏻

[@Powgow]

When do you actually use hira ichimonjinokamae (if thats the right spelling). "Tree stance", as i recall. The only times we use it is for a sideways roll.

[@Anything2bCool]

I have always wondered about Hanin no Kamae as I haven't encountered it at either of the dojos Ive trained at, and I haven't seen it in the Kamae no Kata, Kihon Happo or the Sanshin no Kata. A very elusive stance! At a guess Id say the hand form is used to attack the eyes?

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

I suspect it might have something to do with the use of Tengu masks.

[@ygalhan5587]

Yep

[@Stuemanchoo]

Is this the guy from Waltz with Bashir?

[@SKSDbag]

this is an interesting type of martial arts, and i hate it when ppl compare martial arts to ufc... like seriously, try using ufc techniques against someone with a knife, u may get a few kicks and punches in but youll bleed out very quickly

[@yesno1721]

At 0:08 I thought he said 'hentai' lol. Anyways, awesome demonstration!

[@periklisiordanidis342]

fist near the jaw like in boxing styles. :)

[@MoFiTheMagnificent]

for everyone who doesn't know, ninjutsu was never a martial art. it was only an art of stealth.

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

@AssassinenKampfgeistUnlimited That is Okanagan karate. Ninja were more like a counter culture in Japan that then over many 100s of years became part of the society.

[@oneking2461]

Some of the kicks are slow and won’t deliver much power, I don’t fight with anger, rather I transfer that powerful energy to my hands, feet, elbows, knees, and even head. So when I hit someone the power is much greater. Besides that, the stances are good and sturdy.

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

You have clearly never been hit by one!!!! There is a reason his partner flies through the air after getting kicked and he is not jumping! On top of that he is kicking him softly so as not to hurt him.

[@AkbanOrg]

[@AbdalmonemYaser]

I didn’t find it

[@warriorhunting]

Dumb question, I notice your Gi top is very thick compared to most i see in your art, Is it a Jujitsu gi top basically or more like a heavy weight Karate gi ? can you link to where i can find one simular maybe or something ?

[@AkbanOrg]

Basically, it's a gold weave black Judo Gi. They do not make these anymore, but any black BJJ will do.

[@warriorhunting]

+AKBAN no worries , I teach jujitsu lol . that's how I spotted it being a bit thinker than most gi's I noticed in other ninjutsu videos . just wanted to confirm. I have a bunch of of jits gis

[@periklisiordanidis342]

some kamae aren't traditional. is it really necessary to use other martial art stances and mix them with ninjutsu? I think not.

[@AkbanOrg]

+Periklis Iordanidis All the Kamae here are traditional, Takamatsu den, stances. www.akban.org/wiki/Ninjutsu_combat_stances_-_Kamae

[@Larechar]

Ko ryu vs. gendai... No comparison.

[@AyoSaviioR]

Reminds me of naruto

[@user-qk8kc1jb3d]

I cannot understand the usage of Hanni No Kamae in battle.

[@AkbanOrg]

seriously, neither do we.

[@GodsAssassin]

Hanni no kamae the hand sign means good luck, releases the oni spirits that guard each ninjutsu Practitioner.
