Ninjutsu kicks against MMA and Judo holds - Yossi Sheriff

[@hailshonny]

Hmm..... These are basically judo throws with kicks to set up the entry.... They will actually work. Which is refreshing after only seeing tons of bullshit techniques from Ninjitsu videos so far :D I think these have great application on the streets and some comps depending on the rule set. Watch some of the clinch works in modern combat sports and you will see similar techniques in clinch. Especially against the cage in MMA. I don't know about the kicks to the stomach... Without the gi, there may not be enough space for effective kicks and if you try to create space, you also give the opponent the space to counter or launch his own entry. If you already off balanced him by pulling down, wouldn't you rather enter for a throw instead of kicking and making yourself vulnerable? I really like the oblique kick to osoto gari combo. That is 100% legit and I can totally imagine it working as it isn't too far from chaining any leg trip feint to osoto entry, except you attack the knee joint here. Solid body mechanics and Judo fundamentals here. That knee to the thigh while pummeling for under-hook, at around 20:00, is quite widely used in MMA lol. There are also foot stomping and shoulder to chin attacks which the instructor did not mention. They don't do big damage but it is great distraction and if the clinch fight is extended, the damage will stack up. Also the heel kick at 14:50 will definitely be helpful. It is pretty much modified kosoto gake. I can imagine myself feinting Kosoto gake but actually doing damages at the same time because i'm kicking the pressure points. What's more impressive is that it is obvious this instructor has solid and detailed understanding of grappling. Fuckin Ninjitsu instructor who actually understands fighting fundamentals! I wouldn't be surprised this guy has background in Judo... I will be honest here. This is the first Ninjitsu video I have watched that contains anything useful or remotely feasible in real combat and it is all because the person teaching it has realistic understanding of the fundamentals. I came here for a laugh but I ended up learning something. Great work.

[@AkbanOrg]

Great insights. Thank you for the good words!

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

It's judo-ish, certainly, but to my eyes the body posture, relaxed and quite straight arms with compact forwards hunched weight positioning and a bandy-legged heel-chopping style with very mobile footwork are quintessentially shinobi.

[@AkbanOrg]

Ok

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

@@weareallbeingwatched4602 You short of have it backwards. It is not a copy of judo but that judo's founder studied one of the bujinkan arts, fudo ryu. I am sure a lot of japanese historical arts had throws like these.

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

@@DouglasEKnappMSAOM The lineage of empty-hand techniques in japanese martial culture derives initially from the forbidden/black market aspects of the assassin's set of techniques, but formal jiu-jitsu was officially endorsed and taught openly as a substitute for sword-duelling by the post-confucianist anti-war movement, and labelled jiu-jitsu, later being modernised into a totally striking-free olympic sport called judo. This is a very judo-ish sort of maneuver. The issue of the assumed presence of extensive sword-resistant body armour on an opponent on the battlefield is not often referenced or discussed in the limited use of striking techniques or Atemi in japanese martial arts.

[@micvili7527]

so these are just normal judo throws with a kick for an entry into the throw ?

[@AkbanOrg]

Exactly. Regular throws with kicks as setups or distractors

[@micvili7527]

AKBAN yeah ok

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

Micahiona Viliamu Ninjutsu hand to hand combat arms were firmly rooted in Japanese jujutsu The taijutsu they use is appropriately named ju-taijutsu for grappling and gou-taijutsu for striking (ju meaning soft or gentle, gou referring to gouken meaning hard fist) All the throws and strikes were also used by samurai, but these forms are more focused and being basic and precise rather than versatile and complex. Different job for a different mission. Shinobi rarely fought head on so these are mainly to set up for a weapon kill, which is why the throws are repeated so often with less variation than a JJJ dojo. Hope this helps

[@GokuInfintysaiyan]

Going on one leg while clinched is asking to be taken down. Most setups to takedowns from clinch rely on getting most of their weight on one leg then attacking it as it cannot move. Also, you're pushing into them in the clinch, another no no. That's how you get air time.

[@AkbanOrg]

Good points. But, there’s always a counter to the counter

[@aitsugi]

As a person that's trained in martial arts for 25yrs and taught martial arts many years as well, I'd like to say these are great techniques! A lot of these comments sound like they are from rigid mindsets. Each Martial Arts technique is like a book and no matter what style you train in, you want a vast library to pull those techniques from at a moments notice and adapt it as needed. FYI PEOPLE - THIS IS NOT FULL SPEED AND IF YOU DON'T ROLL WITH THE THROW AND BREAK FALL, YOU WILL FALL AND BREAK.

@Chris -- That is all so true. The greats of my era like Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris became proficient in their initial style/art but also moved on to learn from other teachers and arts. Lewis picked up stuff from the likes of Korab, Pennington, Joey Orbillo, and the inimitable Bruce Lee. You take what works for you, and your body to make you the best fighter that you can become. The kids that brag about training for a whole year and that he can beat up anyone from any other style are just idiots.

The dog is the best ninja - he is so chilled out that I almost didn't notice him.

[@bensherman1977]

I studied 'Ninjutsu' for about six months a few years back. The art is taught worldwide primary through Masaaki Hatsumi's Bujinkan Organization. Rather than actually studying how to become a spy or silent assassin (which of course would be ridiculous), we actually studied a range of Samurai fighting techniques, including traditional sword and stick techniques, along with Jujutsu as the unarmed element. Bujinkan calls the unarmed techniques 'Taijutsu', however - this is actually a generic term in Japan for unarmed martial arts, and the unarmed techniques taught in Ninjutsu are, in reality, Jujutsu. Modern Ninjutsu is a great example of successful branding and selling a product. As a young man, Hatsumi taught Judo to American soldiers - and my guess is at that time he realised the West's infatuation with the ninja, and capitalised on it with clever marketing. I have no doubt that Hatsumi is an excellent martial artist, and his teachings are true to traditional Samurai techniques, but Hatsumi has acquired much wealth and fame through selling the 'Ninja' brand.

Robert S ma non eri contro le arti marziali tradizionali???? Ti ho visto sul video di dk yoo che dicevi che la mma è migliore. A questo punto vedo che forse non disprezzi le arti marziali tradizionali, allora ti consiglio di cercare lei tai, sono I tornei di kung fu tradizionale, in antichita I tornei di lei tai erano senza regole e era normale che qualcuno moriva. Purtroppo in giro ci sono molti "maestri" che infangono le arti marziali non facendo mai reale pratica e farsi battere da qualche coglione, joe rogan purtroppo ha avuto a che fare con maestri di arti marziali falsi che non facevano mai pratica quindi joe rogan dice che le tma non sono efficaci mentre in realtà le arti marziali tradizionali non sono da meno dalla mma, basta vederi gli antichi monaci shaolin che andarono in Guerra anni fa. Le arti marziali tradizionali richiedono pratica (cioè sparing) e senza di quella non puoi andare avanti, ok che nelle tma ci sono tecniche molto pericolose come rompere bracci, colpi al collo, calci sui coglioni ecc ecc però quelle servono in caso di emergenza e basta vedere un torneo degli anni 80 di lei tai per vedere che si può fare lo sparing tradizionale, poi però non si può dire che le tma fanno schifo, se non fai reale pratica e non mosse simulate diventano efficaci. Dopotutto le tma erano I sistemi di combattimento dei ninja, samurai, guerrieri cinesi, lottatori tailandesi (quelli della muay boran) ecc ecc.

Without kick that its really hard for the opponent to be projected on the floor and when that work you cant resist you Just fall Here, in the video Akban explain if the oppenent take this position you can do this and play with your own position and you can choose this technique to win

I really enjoyed this video. The kick into throw position is a powerful blend of techniques. Being kicked on the inside leg, knee, or shin is painful, especially if applied in full force with adrenaline pumping. In most cases it could off put your opponent for a fraction of a second needed to apply Osoto Gari, Tai Otoshi, etc. In that case the opponent will be on the ground and you will be in control.

Many ignorant people hating on tradicional martial arts since the rise of MMA, with no other criteria than them being traditional, so they must not work. But the problem with most traditional martial arts is not what they teach (it sometimes is, eg. Dim Mak), but how they teach it, as they often not practice aliveness (Randori). However, the Master in this video specifically said at the start that the aim was to be able to use in Randori the techniques demonstrated, by the end of the session. So what are you guys even complaining about? It's not even as if these techniques were exclusively in Ninjutsu. They are also used in many other traditional martial arts, modern martial arts, Combat Sports, and self defense systems. Please stop with the hate, and respect other martial artists/athletes, whatever discipline they practice. Or even better, respect every human being you come across with. Cheers.

Sure this stuff will work. Everyone knows Jujutsu works in MMA and is used by almost every fighter. Ninjutsu grappling is very similar, although there are some differences and variations. That kick to the inside thigh is very effective in unbalancing someone. Kicks to the outside of thigh with a hooking in motion using the heel can be very painful. It makes it easier to take someone down.

[@Mirandorl]

To everyone complaining and offering putdowns - every art has something offer. All arts have strengths and weaknesses. Mixed Martial Arts means ... *mixing martial arts* - finding what complements one from the other. Does ninjutsu have weaknesses? Of course it does. Does Judo? Yes. Does BJJ? Muay Thai? All of them do. Adding a "weakening" or distracting move is a great way to counter resistance to techniques and make them more effective. Sure its "just" a kick, or a knee - but then there is the follow up, the foot placement, weight control. Blending. None of these kicks need to be devastating, only to create a reaction you can use. To that end this video is helpful. Before anyone wants to claim bias on my behalf, my background is Muay Thai, BJJ, Filipino, Wing Chun and a little JKD. Not an expert at all, but experienced enough to know the utility of blending.

@@ProfessorToadstool well i have taken a few BJJ and boxing classes in a an actual MMA gym. also i have had actual MMA style fights (not amateur or pro) though i have never been into a "dojo". also even with my minimal training, i know how to fight and am always willing to spar with anyone anytime. just most people that say they like to fight don't really ever want to spar. i enjoy learning where im weak and where i need improvement. you cant learn your own weaknesses if you don't have someone actually test you with even Mild resistance. I can beat the average person in a fight only from practicing basic boxing and kick boxing on my own (shadow boxing) or with any sparring partners not too afraid of getting hit. i have always looked to fight people either larger and/or more trained than i am, due to the fact i like to have the challenge even if i lose. its all about learning. my issue is when the muscle memory you are learning isn't actually useful no matter how well you have it ingrained into your memory its not going to save your life or win an actual fight. if you were anywhere near where i lived (northwest in USA) i would definitely love to learn or even test your and my own ability. no way in hell would i go to a Gracie gym and test them or a boxing gym and test them, i have had my bout's with people trained in those fighting styles and have learned that they are actually useful in real fighting and have lost a few fights/sparring sessions to people that had actual training in actual combat sports. i knew about Mcdojos and Bullshido for several years now and i always call anyone out on their bullshit cuz i aint afraid to spar. i have all of the gear/safety equipment for any kind of sparring and am always willing to set up a time to spar anyone. but i am also larger than the average guy (6'3" 245lbs) so i like to light spar with people just to test my abilities and not hurt my sparring partner too badly. feel free to think what you want. but i am just giving simple constructive criticism and you dont necessarily need to use it. but in this new age of fighting people are learning what actually works and what doesn't and if you guys dont want to fall into the category of Bullshido you should demonstrate and then test with actual resistance as you would experience in a real fight. also maybe next time try not to attack my person by making assumptions about me and instead you should attack my argument with actually counter arguments that make sense.

[@jakefaust2815]

These small kicks and strikes are meant to make the opponent change his balance so that the practitioner can take his ukemi (essentially balance). This is why the throws are in line with the opponents corrections. Start with dakentaijutsu to get their balance to shift. Then you exploit this shift with jutaijutsu for the throw. of course, as with all martial arts, nothing is more important than perfect distance and perfect timing. This technique is meant to allow you to throw a heavy, well rooted, or armored opponent. For those of you complaining that it's the same is "X martial art" that's because it largely is. Most of the traditional Japanese martial arts are from the warring clans era, and have several similarities. these techniques were kept and exchanged between practitioners because they worked. When you survive an attack from an assailant, especially especially a well trained one, all you care about is whether the technique worked, not where it came from. This is the art of the ninja. Use what you can to survive. Nothing else matters.

Thank you Sir,

[@FlyingOmoplatta]

So many keyboard warriors lol. Thanks for the ideas. I can see this being applicable in quite a few scenarios. People get confused on shit looking so clean for a demo. Ive been practicing mma, muay thai, Bjj and Judo for years and theres always something to pick up on. You could definitely land these combos if timed right. I really enjoy the concept of using a kick to force them to be based on one leg. Could setup up a lot of nasty trips off that. Maybe in wont look this clean but thats what drills are for. Dont let the wannabe's commenting from the peanut gallery keep you down. Keep it simple and keep training! One love!

***** Hell, tbh, Ninja's don't really work with grappling. They are taught how to kill, not to fight. It's why they lost so much to the Samurai. It's a sad reality, and only fools like these guys will believe otherwise! True Ninja's barely killed or fought, but were mainly spies, and hardly dressed in black suits. Many wore plain clothing.

[@mr.voidout4739]

Such a simple and effective principle. Manipulate your opponent's instincts; make them serve you and not him. The point of the kick isn't to connect, but to throw your opponent into an instinctive arched stance to evade it, then use their shifted forward mass against them by guiding them downward. Full physical and mental control of your opponent, with little energy exerted. Pretty cool.

the videos posted in your descriptions are compilation videos of mostly MMA in the UFC and the kicks in the groin alot of which is over exaggerated responses cuz its an illegal hit in the UFC. meaning you can get DQ'd for doing so if the fighter "cant" continue. think of it like flopping in the NBA or in Soccer (futbol) when someone does an illegal hit you over exaggerate and this will potentially win you the game. groin kicks can work but they are by no means a fight finisher at all especially when the fighter is wearing a cup.

People here keep talking about Brazilian Jujitsu and MMA when that all came from Judo to begin with. Judo is the parent art. So yes, this DOES work in MMA because it's been done in MMA. The kick setups are also present in Judo and are done to change balance, position or distance. Great video!

There are couple of decent setups- one looks a lot like French kouchi, the other looks like a knee to the thigh. All the heels to back of leg or higher kicks will just get you thrown in sport judo or jiu-jitsu where they are looking for small gaps in your balance and lifting 1 foot high at close range=huge balance opening.

[@totoroutes5389]

against a professional mma fighter even if one kick lands on target there would be no follow through afterwards because the mma fighter would either keep the distance for striking or the distanca would be closed for take down and grappling. Similar to a professional boxers and also professional muay thai fighters, a professional mma fighter is conditioned to continuously fight forward and aggressively after receiving hits.

[@AkbanOrg]

Many Ninjas and many MMA fighters have private parts. A kick to the privates is hard to overcome

[@totoroutes5389]

That’s true. However, professional athlete’s full time training is still the big advantage. If the professional mma fighter begins to train with different rules (allowed strike to groan) then the professional fighter will almost always win. Put a full time martial arts teacher in the ring with a full time professional mma fighter, both following the same rules whatever they are, and see what happens.

[@rezasharif9823]

SteelCity1981 fuck that bitch Ronda.. just holly holms

[@recreationaljudo6513]

The title and premise of the video is invalid. These same throws are used in judo, traditional Jujutsu, Shotokan karate, Hapkido, and other arts. Event the addition of the kicks is included in judo kata. Properly trained and applied, they are valid techniques. To imply that Ninjutsu is somehow superior to judo because one does a kick before doing Tai Otoshi or Yoko Wakare is bogus. I speak from experience to say striking and kicking is not hard to learn compared to throwing technique. It isn't hard for a good judoka to learn to strike. It's a longer time getting a striker to throw effectively. Pitting one art against another is futile, especially when one has limited knowledge of other arts.

[@joerichard5965]

what are you talking about did not see anything related to shotokan

[@xSTEVENx286x]

+New Tuber but MMA will teach you to know what to do when the shit actually hits the fan because MMA gyms actually do full contact live sparing. it doesn't matter how little rules your martial art has, if all you do is drills and katas you'll be unprepared when the shit hits the fan. it's probably difficult to learn how to properly execute an eye gouge or groin shot if you aren't attempting it in sparring.

I read it, and I regret wasting my time looking for it and typing the following comment. It is evident in your reply that you have very little practical experience on the subject. "Mastering" of a single art is practically useless when the art is not based on real tried and tested fighting and only demonstrations and willing "opponents" when you attempt to apply it on someone trained in an art that is based on what works within the actual brutality of what real fighting is. MMA-fighters at the highest levels are masters of many disciplines, and disciplines that are tried and tested at that. That is the whole purpose of MMA, and you can see the reality of what happened when masters of different principles got choked out by a small Brazilian in Royce Gracie, and martial arts has evolved ever since. Not realizing that is both lazy and delusional, but that being said I respect the fact that someone has mastered a martial art, no matter what it is. But don't try to tell me that it will work against someone skilled in MMA just to try to stay relevant on the subject, because that is such a fallacy that I don't know what else to say.

Arigato Goziemashita sensei. Excellent. I usually do not comment, but I am slightly amused by the number of negative comments regarding the effectiveness of these techniques in actual combat. I trained Genbukan in the mid eighties in the first dojo outside of the hombu dojo in Los Angeles. Many ex IDF gentleman came to train, some were members. As I understand it, the goal was to incorporate togakure ryu techniques into krav maga. At the time Israel was the only nation in the world who knew what it was like to be continuously at war for decades. I was always struck how IDF soldiers never said "when I was in the army", they said "when I was in the war". These were trained soldiers learning effective techniques. Several of my senpai were law enforcement, and on more than one occasion attested to how a particular technique had been applied in a life threatening situation. Taijutsu training saved my life in the worst fight ive ever been in. To the gentleman who thought the waza would not work if he were sleeveless ...then I would grab skin. And it would hurt. A lot. Thank you again sensei, I thoroughly enjoy the videos.
