When Hatsumi Sensei met Master Takamatusu he was afraid of him, in awe of him and thought with wonder "A Martial Artist like this still exists in the world!" - I had the same thought when I first met the awesome warrior that is Yossi Sheriff
Shidoshi Yossi is a leading expert in the Takamatsu Den systems and making them modern and brutally effective - Goshin Ninpo! Perhaps in Koto Ryu, more than any other school, we see his style and approach at it's most effective. The whole world can learn from watching these clips. A true modern Master of Koppo Jutsu - Takamatsu Sensei would be proud to see his descendant passing this teaching to the future generations. Utmost respect for this teacher, this modern deadly NINJA warrior. An inspiration to us all.
@@lukerobinson9646 i guess it all who play with.. when I was in the air force we trained in this manner and the ones who taught me where under the bujinkan system.
Ok first of all, I'm quite impressed with this instructor. I just watched his video on using kicks in clinches and I can tell this guy has deep understanding of grappling unlike most of Ninja wannabes I normally see online. I couldn't quite put my finger on just what martial art he studied and I just realized who his style reminds me of: Shinya Aoki... 😑 The demo of the standing arm lock at the start of this vid confirms it. Aoki is the only man in MMA who broke someone's arm stading up, using Koryu technique.... Mr. Sheriff is not a ninjutsu master. He has expert knowledge in an ancient style of jujitsu that is the father to modern Judo and Brazilian Jiujitsu.... Shinya Aoki is a rare breed of MMA fighters who has both modern and lost ancient skill sets and the similarity between Aoki and Sheriff's style is unmistakable. Mr. Sheriff. I'm both a student of martial arts and history. The martial artist in me has tremendous respect for your knowledge in your art and your ability to teach it. But the historian in me must disagree with the portrayal of ninjas in modern media and ninjutsu.... I'm of opinion that there's simply not enough historical evidence to prove the existence of ninjas as portrayed in modern times..... Ninjutsu is modern fantasy but your skills are real.... 😑
Were Ninja real? We do not know for sure. Was there a role for an all rounder, green beret style, Japanese soldier? It’s plausible that there was. Does present day Ninjutsu syllabus echo this? Fortunately not. Again, thanks for the good words, Sir.
hailshonny they were nothing like they’re portrayed in the media mate and there is existence is confirmed all through the history books, but again, not as they’ve been portrayed. They were essentially bodyguards to be later hired by the head samurai. They used to wear disguises and blend in to which ever environment they were operating in. Much of the time they were dressed as farmers, wearing straw hats and scarves over their mouths and they used to use old farming tools as weapons. They were highly skilled and very very dangerous. This is in the well known history of 16th century japan. Look it up......it’s fascinating. Wanna watch a real master? Check Dr Masaki Hatsumi. 34th Grand Master and the last living member of the Iga Clan. He’s old now but still every part da man lol.
This was another great teaching. Thank you Yossi. I've not long started my Bujinkan journey and loving it. Your videos let me 'study' more. Best wishes from Oxford UK 🙏🏻
lol, awesome explanation. I have been studying Ninpo for 3 years now and I have learned to enjoy your videos very much. This one is my favorite so far. Ninpo ikkan!
you probably dont care but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Devon Marshall thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Im security guard and I train Muay-Thai for years, Id use this moves and train what he shows for controll in parties or something for non lethal force... but for big fights It doesnt look very usefull.. how can u bend him/throw him/grab him if u get a hook/kick in ur face and fall to sleep... we do it much diffent in Muay-Thai. Respect still. Greetings from Slovenia!
In a fight you break the arm. You would have to have super hero strength to resist an opponents entire body weight being dropped against your joint in an instant
Very interesting and nicely explained. I am not a big fan of Masaaki Hatsumi as a person, but I do like the versatility of 忍法 , and Akban seems to be a mixture of Bujikan with some other styles, I noticed Jujitsu grips... nice in deed.
Hatsumi said (in so many words), courage without compassion is worthless. One compliments the other. There are also legal considerations with levels of violence, not just criminal, but civil afterwards.
I think I was there when he said that - might have been a Taikai in US or Europe in the 80s. Courage without compassion is worthless. A very Soke Hatsumi thing to say. However, Mr Yossi, in the Akban teachings refers directly to Takamatsu Den, not Bujinkan, and that is the source here. Takamatsu Sensei on his travels and fights in China as a "Warrior of the Koppo Jutsu Tradition" would never bother with pussy ideas like "courage with compassion" - he won his fights and came back to teach us how he did it. There is no space in NINJA thinking for that kind of weak talk. Take off your Bujinkan badge, put on a Hakama, ,and train NINJUTSU the way it is supposed to be trained. Look at Master Manaka, a Major in the Japanese Militia, founder of the Jinenkan. Look at Master Tanemura, Tokyo Police Officer, founder of the Genbukan. Find your way back to TAKAMATSU - be a descendant of the Last True Ninja.
@@vinvass2674 I just now saw your comment. I'm going to vehemently disagree if you're saying having compassion is a "pussy" idea. (I'll ignore the language.) A complete man has great courage and equal compassion. You might ask yourself if preparing for violence is worthwhile per we, or if it serves a higher purpose. "Mercy brings strength to defense," is a thought found in the Tao te Ching, and it's so true. Honestly I don't care what you think, and doubt this will be a productive conversation, but I've just offered you truth.
And a pussy replies to my post, though it took the pussy a year to do so. You always know you have got in someone's head when they bother to write your name in the start of the reply. I will not address the pussy directly as I do not teach or instruct pussies. The pussy is going to ignore the word "pussy", obviously doesn't like bad language - Mummy issues right there. Trying to state what a "complete man" has - what a laugh, coming from a pussy who is only a half man himself. Trying to quote Lao Tzu and doing so out of context, as he doesn't understand it an probably never read it, just quoting a quote. If he doesn't care what I think, why is he replying to me a year later? Has not offered me any "truth" as has none to offer. A pussy giving advice on how to be a pussy. Missed the Truth I offered in my reply a year ago about how to follow the teachings of the true Ninja. Trying to use big words like "vehemently" . again out of context, because he doesn't understand the definition. Seriously, why is this Pussy Cunt Wanker on a warrior thread like Akban Ninjutsu in the first place. James Pisano - Gay Piss On Oh - Gay Pussy Asshole. What a Cunt.
@@vinvass2674 You're really showing your true colors now. I expected that would happen quick. You obviously have not absorbed any ninjutsu teaching, but I see you're a great keyboard warrior. I assure you, this will be my last comment to you.
Exactly, Sir, there must be gradation of force and speed in self defence. It is not the same when facing a our friends on a party or a drunken teenager.Yet, on meeting real touhg-guy, instead of breaking his hands or legs, avoidance of conflict could be a better solution. Best regards. Paul, 67, retired instructor of Karate.
To slap out is a bad habit from Judo that will get your arm broken in a parking lot. Rather use your free hand to grab the back of your neck, to protect your head from bouncing off the ground and to keep the free arm off the ground which will prevent a broken wrist.
What’s with the brown belt? Bujinkan / Ninjutsu doesn’t have a regular belt system! There are 9 schools in Bujinkan and 9 grades from the moment you get your green belt exchanged for your white! At the end of the 9 grades, you then receive your 1st Dan. So there are essentially 3 belts! So wtf is this brown belt doing here? And the gis they’re wearing with ninjutsu written down the side!!!??? It isn’t BBJ! Lol Ninjutsu is meant to be a clandestine art, meaning you don’t go around with ninjutsu T-shirt’s! 😂😂. Not seen the shidoshi before but he’s putting effort in to certain techniques and the Doc always told me that if you have to use strength or excess force, then you’re doing it wrong. I trained under Keith Porter by the way.
Lol, you are saying something about Hatsumi who trained under the last ninja Takamatsu. This is just poor taste, mentioning someone’s name like this. You will never be what Tanemura and Hatsumi are...
AKBAN First thing my Sensei tought me was humility and respect towards other people, something you fail at. Considering you would have nothing to teach withought Hatsumi and Tanemura. Your reply is my point exactly.
@@palestine389 No they don't at all. Vastly most ninja will not compete in mma because it is a sport & ninjutsu is not. However, UFC III was won by a ninja, Steve Jenum, who stood in for Ken Shamrock & defeated Henry Howard by submission. Maybe you should consider discussing a subject you actually know something about!
@@isaachunt7107 5 years later you reply you wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the UFC today most of them are high level jiujitsu look at what Royce Gracie did to the Kung fu master he squashed him like a worm no chance whatsoever this so called art is waste of time
