Grand Master Stephen K. Hayes: Ninja Vanishing Defense Part 2

[@DanielleSainteMarie]

Stephen K Hayes is brilliant, and a nice guy to meet and train with. I know this from experience.

[@Thes564]

It is such an honor to see master Steven Hays on video after having had all of his books from the 80 s of which 8 of my friends and myself trained out of for years.

What makes Stephen K Hayes legit (I bought his ninja books as a kid, too, and I'm a girl!) is his keen awareness of where his body is at all times. I'm a yoga teacher and I study body movements. This man moves like a good yoga teacher.

[@Carriesaglock]

I remember this guy from when I was a kid from the magazines.

[@合氣道学生]

Very impressed with this

Grandmaster Stephen K. Hayes is right in offering basically a sidestep against a linear combination of hand attack.The safer way is to step off the line to the beginning, thus the attacker first hand is becomes a barrier to the second one. The same applies to fighting a group, where escaping sideways yields only on enemy to face making him a shield against the others. Hopefully thatś not all.However good reflexes are needed.

Well general rule is never to trust ninjutsu but at least Hayes trains against punches that seem a little less absurd than the ones you see in the typical ninja vids.

[@slackdave]

Yeah.. That was nice to see.. In one example. Guy throws punch.. and then another one.. Not just Throw punch get blocked and stand around and wait till you get put on the floor..

Anyone have ACTUAL full contact with this dude..? I'm betting NOT ....and we all know why.....cuz IT DONT WORK

[@Trabbit23]

Ohh that's funny how you think just because its not used for sparring doesn't mean it's not battle tested have you even dug deep into the history of the martial art or experienced it yourself of course not 😂 because you probably think that way with every martial art that's actually developed for self defense of course you would say this will not work so my question is how do you know???🤔

[@Mrkalm007]

@@Trabbit23 Er..What! Just because something may have been battle tested in the past does not mean it will work. You need to battle test it with resisting opponent or through sparring. Its just more pretending with added cosplay

Ninja vanishing defense 🤣

[@brianbrownthingstothinkabo4715]

would have given any thing to train and learn.

[@stevek.hayesmma7334]

This ONLY works with his trained students... lol. Oh, and 1960s black belt movies

[@GGGeraldson]

Uh sure, okay. I don’t know…I think I know more than a few non martial artists that could beat up this dude. Any trained boxer or kick-boxer would take this guy too.

[@scottashe984]

He 72 years old.

[@pentagram4745]

Yeah more bullshido.
