this guy is an amazing instructor....i watch all these videos and i practice this step alot and what i find when putting this step into practice is that not only do you maintain balance and posture but you also maintain control of your ki and are able to apply it in the right direction and still maintain a strong stance through the entire movement...it also helps to confuse your opponent and is best applied while watching your opponents mid section so that you can watch his arms and legs
Rather than criticizing, why don't you watch videos and take the bits you like and leave the bits you do not like. Absorb the information the man has to offer and decide what works best for you and adapt it then you'll probably become better fighters!! '' Those who can, DO, those who cant CRITICIZE''!!!!
:) Your words of wisdom shine, sir. A man at peace and grounded within himself can say everything by saying so little. It's crazy, perhaps, but I know when a man speaks from his heart without ego. He creates a light, playful atmosphere, yet leaves the shrewd observer in no doubt as to his relative mastery of himself. No aggression required. Thank you, "mauigio".
You do realize that MMA stands for mixed martial arts. MMA fighters borrow from all other types of combat. So, in actuality this isnt the Superman Punch, its the Yoko aruki from Ninjitsu.
I'm enjoying the walk through these older videos. It's nice to see the cross step, a move relatively unique to ninjitsu, demonstrated. This video seems to concentrate on how attacks combine with it, but the step has other uses. One advantage of the cross step not demonstrated here is that from the crossed position, it is extremely easy to drop yourself to the floor then "bounce" back up to a standing position (if you are young and spry anyway) or tumble in any direction. You can only drop to the floor quickly like this and also stay on balance when you have your feet crossed. Otherwise you do not have you feet gathered under you to return to a standing position. Particularly when fighting with bladed weapons dropping "impossibly" low to attack along the floor and then getting back to a standing position immediately is relatively impossible without the cross step or committing to a directional tumble. The cross step is superior. Another advantage of the cross step is how well it changes lines; you do not have to perform the cross step directly toward an opponent, but instead to your lead side as a circling move that moves you quickly. Your rear foot ends up facing the opponent as your lead foot, and your lead foot steps into place as your rear foot. You arrive at your opponent's side or almost entirely behind them (before they turn to meet you) in reverse stance with just 2 steps. As your opponent shifts stance to meet you, you are ready to attack but they are unprepared -- this is one purpose of the step, to set more quickly that can be done with other footwork and then use that advantage to gain initiative. People who are not very ambidextrous can have trouble applying the cross step this way, but the traditional kata he demonstrated (briefly) shows how you reset to the stance you are most comfortable using. You do not want to be attacked in the middle of your cross step. Balance is mildly compromised, and the angle of your rear leg leaves that knee open to a potentially crippling kick. It is important to keep that leg slightly bent so that if you are kicked to that knee, your leg will pivot into a natural position (with your foot facing more away from the attacker) to bend without major injury. It is also important not to use the cross step forward unless your opponent is trying to back up quickly. Note that in the video, Yossi Sheriff tailors the size of his cross step to how far the opponent has moved. When the opponent does not step back very far, his step is small and sometimes does not actually cross in front of his lead foot. When the opponent steps back a lot, his cross becomes so large as to become a sort of gallop jump. That's an important detail. Very fine videos on this channel so far.
1. Not all the reasons for movements in martial arts can be explained with mechanics. Many deceptions are not the most efficient mechanical move but that does not diminish their effectiveness. A person advancing forward does not move in a straight line. Only an abstraction of the person's center of gravity can be said to travel in a straight line. The joints, limbs etc. move in complex pendulums. So a 100 meter dash is actually a series of running steps that are jumps
Ninjalla, I must say, your videos are some of the most helpful Martial Arts videos I have ever seen. I have the Akban Portal on my Quicktabs for my Browser, and I learn one technique a day. Given, it's hard when I am only able to practice Solo, but it helps. You have earned another subscriber. Correct me if I am wrong, but Isn't Ninjutsu basically a mixture of Several Martial Arts? (Judo, Aikido, TaeKwonDoe, Etc?)
No. All the styles you mention are quite new, within the last 100 years or so. Ninjutsu is more like 1400 years old. Even if you say that they are not that old they are least from the 1600s.
Ok. I've gotten to work on this a little bit. Most people are 'right" sided, so logicqlly next wonder whether we should start working "weaker" side as well? Basic assymetric character of this approach (omote of the hips) which people often inadequately describe as either "side stepping" or "cross-tepping". Anyway, after a few weeks working on this, the whole "left/right" question naturally comes up. Because you immediately discover how slow the less developed (usually left) footing is.. Good radar with the front parry/block ("jabbing") arm, helping to establish reach. The right step itself can deliver huge hip power on the right punch; plus perfect set-up for a front kick from the left leg. I would think the step would have to be complete quickly, so as not to unduly expose the "inside" of the right body (knee, femoral, groin). That seems like a risk or inhibiting factor.
It's refreshing to see a style of ninjitsu that is not complete horseshit...To me your style actually resembles a mix of Muay Thai and practical jiujitsu ..Very nice
the footwork is good with kicks, made them smoother, but the others seems harder to perform, is there a way to to gain distance with this in conjunction with kicks?
I have also seen Buakaw do it in Muay Thai, but both those guys are very very good and wont do it more than a few times, as a good opponent will spot the opportunity to injure you, The Superman punch perspective is good, and you make the point do it once only. I enjoy sparing with boxers in Muay Thai, they always leave that front leg there for me, but learn quickly.
Using derogatory terms do not make you right, or validate your insight. But as the moderator of this channel I can say that even a child in our dojo has more manners, Mr. Monte Casino
With more then 10,000,000 views we have a lot of practice dealing with comments. Many of our commentators actually ask or say things that are important.
Take a look at our ninjutsu portal (google: "akban ninjutsu portal") - you can see, down below, that there are Traditional kata, these were not derived from Judo or Aikido. These kata are the basis of all the individual techniques in Ninjutsu. What we, in AKBAN, did is to dissect the kata, train on individual techniques and borrow modern methods of training to make these traditional kata more aplicable.
AKBAN, i am thinking of starting my own ryu of Ninjutsu, with techniques from ninjutsu, Hapkido, and native american hunting methods. Do you approve? I call it, Kaze Ryu.
this is much like what i use in taekwondo, however i think i will try the shoulder thing in practice some. i really like how it masks the true intentions. i need to watch this video some more on this " superman punch". i got knocked out of a competition due to that, and it's nice to see it where i can review it slowly.
Has its uses, but would add, that anyone who has done any full contact kick boxing or muay thai, would avoid cross stepping except for the initial surprise of an attack, it can leave you off center and open to kicks on the inside of the knee, Koku is something from the past when people wore armour, but the strikes to under the elbow are a good weak point, especially taller opponents who leave their arms out after a jab, just my thoughts.
I enjoy very much the way you teach its amaizing i study ninjutsu as well and i suport the way you tech with out all the politics :) thank you and keep the super nice work. I can tell all the efort and energy and heart dedicaton that u put on this videos :)
Great technique. Don't limit your imagination in thinking that the footwork is only applicable to the situations shown in this video. People are training. Also it's not a "Superman punch"...these techniques been around before DC comics and MMA existed. Plus that kick can definitely land and isn't the only a feint.
since when did shadow arts go from silent single actions of death to improper hand to hand combat, if u are in combat than being a shadow-walker might not be your chosen pass time?...just saying.
I wouldn't argue with you in this case. It also looks very much the old "California blitz" used in point fighting in the 70s and 80s. Bunkai is sometimes the only difference between entire styles so, application is always a question. My philosophy has always been to wring as much out of a form as possible. Oyo bunkai gives you more to work with as long as you don't stretch it too far.
These videos sum up information, Many of our 1000+ videos are shorter then a minute, but we are now filming some that will be 30 minutes each because they sum up large subjects.
Thank you again, as a small fighter using Yoko Aruki in my favour to not only move to/ from my apponent without over running my entrance wouldbe my advantage. I will practice this on tape and review my before and after techniques. *bows
this has to do with koto ryu...koppo jutsu..lots of jumping going on..many times i will say ninjutsu has been called the first mma...flying armbars...head chokes..kicks to certain extent...koto ryu mainly advanced when you really get into it but the jumping is taught right off..check out the koto ryu denshos floating around. its in there..many styles can be specialized out off the 9 schools x kans teach...apologies for giving too much away.
The difference between this and Bujinkan is notable. Seems to me that a lot of the AKBAN techniques have an improved effectiveness (since it has the freedom of adapting moves and it doesn't rely on plastered katas). Also, I'm glad they show some sparring, a thing Bujinkan mostly lacks.
I was blocked from posting this on facebook as someone/people had reported it as being abusive! I have reported it as not being Abusive at all! I will keep you up dated
Looks very much like a "superman punch" from Muay Thai. Interesting, I've never seen this application before but it is definitely Yoko Aruki more or less.
i definitely dont have a problem with exploring 'henka' in application of either forms or techniques; at some point, a person can deviate to the point in which there is almost nothing left, or correct about calling it a certain thing. thats all. bufu
I think Royce Gracie and other old gracie footage proved most of these techniques don't work realistically. That's why Helio Gracie founded the UFC and prior there were a lot of NHB fights in the 70s in Brazil to test BJJ VS other styles which seemed to dominate hence why every MMA fighter cross trains.
Seems like I've seen this kind of footwork, "opening" of the right hip and leaping punches in MMA competittion, of all places. In fact lately, I've see it used to great effect in "Strikeforce" and UFC bouts. The problems occur with respect to footgear (especially heavy boots) and terrain. Obviously the movement would have to be adapted accordingly. Even so, these are skills worth spending a lifetime on ...
Why not just go off on an angle instead of going straight back where you're still on the line of attack? That way you can hit them but they can't hit you. Plus there are a lot less things in between you and all of the things that you want to hit.
This is true, at some point one needs to draw from a context that actually contains the application one is trying to get at. Trying to jam a square peg in a round hole does no one any good and claiming that a particular "style" is the source for everything you do is just silly.
yes but Although this makes me sound like im not smart. I have a very short attention span on learning things off of videos. the videos are meant to quickly dish out helpful information and demenstrate the move.These videos are great dont get me wrong. but i find myself sitting there bitting my nails bored after the first 5 mins.
shure thing, as i say is just my ideology of dislike to tournaments, and i love that from the bujinkan that (at least the few people ive know) they share my ideology, this akban stuff, i looks like sporty, but as i always say, if its abaut martial arts at least is worth to watch, i´ll check some more videos youll never know where you can learn something i mean im not any sort of authority, just an old school martial artist, who likes tha,t martial arts, no martial sports
Hello Mr. Guzzettti, Channel moderator here. You can get a better perspective of our documentation efforts by searching Google for: "AKBAN Ninjutsu portal".
This is one of the best explanations of Yoko Aruki, not only the movement but how to incorporate and use it I've ever seen.
This is the only legit ninjitsu instructor I have seen on youtube very nice!!
this guy is an amazing instructor....i watch all these videos and i practice this step alot and what i find when putting this step into practice is that not only do you maintain balance and posture but you also maintain control of your ki and are able to apply it in the right direction and still maintain a strong stance through the entire movement...it also helps to confuse your opponent and is best applied while watching your opponents mid section so that you can watch his arms and legs
You Sir, are a true martial artist and a gifted teacher. I like the way you also take time to explain the techniques you use. Thank you

Agreed
I personally love the akban stuff Doron was excellent and you guys have taken it even farther!!!
I am just the moderator of the AKBAN channel, but I'll pass it on.
Thanks!
I will pass it on to my instructor. Thank you and keep training!
Thus, master mauigio, you ascended to the esteemed position of our favorite RUclips commentator.
You are correct. That is essential. Using any technique repetitively opens you up for attack

Is it possible to use some boxing skill when punching, or when you switch sides on Hoku no kata henka?
+Melanrick Yes, of course it is possible
the footwork is good with kicks, made them smoother, but the others seems harder to perform, is there a way to to gain distance with this in conjunction with kicks?
@Paullugg Sent you a message, couldn't find the clip you were referring us to
thank you for sharing.......
lucky guys having a teacher like him
Thank you for the instruction. I appreciate you teaching how to move with the hakama on since I keep tripping over mine.
Thanks Alex Rain . A tailor can help too :)
whats up with the sensei's baggy pants (i dont know what theyre actually called). i saw his assisstant whereing them in the last video i watched.
I have also seen Buakaw do it in Muay Thai, but both those guys are very very good and wont do it more than a few times, as a good opponent will spot the opportunity to injure you, The Superman punch perspective is good, and you make the point do it once only.

It's my honour to only see your practice from greece so imagine how i feel that we speak
you have a very modern style of ninjutsu i like it
this is much like what i use in taekwondo, however i think i will try the shoulder thing in practice some. i really like how it masks the true intentions. i need to watch this video some more on this " superman punch". i got knocked out of a competition due to that, and it's nice to see it where i can review it slowly.

Absolutely correct.

Whatcha talkin bout Willis
I find this new foot work interesting and seems to give better control, balance and counter attack ability.
I wouldn't argue with you in this case. It also looks very much the old "California blitz" used in point fighting in the 70s and 80s. Bunkai is sometimes the only difference between entire styles so, application is always a question. My philosophy has always been to wring as much out of a form as possible.

We agree on this. Getting caught in mid-step by a low kick would send the fighter to the mat.
These videos sum up information,

Thank you again, as a small fighter using Yoko Aruki in my favour to not only move to/ from my apponent without over running my entrance wouldbe my advantage. I will practice this on tape and review my before and after techniques. *bows
I love the subtle nature of this budo.
I ve learn something today. Thank you Master.
Different names depending on your system all basically basically the same
Whats the difference between Akban and Bujinkan?
A true martial artist. I would love to train in his dojo.
Hi Paul, always welcome 🙏🏻
What happens when your enemy rushes you while you are off the ground?
Timing and rhythm dictate when this rush can happen. He is not just jumping into the air at random times.
I enjoy how you warned about constant use of this walk, as it can be exploited and used against you.
Also known as a switch step, right?
Correct soggie
this has to do with koto ryu...koppo jutsu..lots of jumping going on..many times i will say ninjutsu has been called the first mma...flying armbars...head chokes..kicks to certain extent...koto ryu mainly advanced when you really get into it but the jumping is taught right off..check out the koto ryu denshos floating around. its in there..many styles can be specialized out off the 9 schools x kans teach...apologies for giving too much away.
This would integrate well into my fighting style. I instinctively slide toward and away in a similar but more clumsy style.
I just whispered it, so it doesn't actually count as a breach of Ninja code
The difference between this and Bujinkan is notable. Seems to me that a lot of the AKBAN techniques have an improved effectiveness (since it has the freedom of adapting moves and it doesn't rely on plastered katas). Also, I'm glad they show some sparring, a thing Bujinkan mostly lacks.
Sinclair Portes I studied under bujinkan system while in the military and we would do training like this..
This IS bujinkan. What you see on the net is just bad bujinkan or hiden techniques that look bad to people that don't know what is really going on.
This old man moves well. Very good.
I was blocked from posting this on facebook as someone/people had reported it as being abusive! I have reported it as not being Abusive at all! I will keep you up dated
I wonder what happens if you kick the guys leg while he is in air.
Thank you my friend.
We'll try :D
Beatiful lesson
Thanks 🙏🏻
our philosophy? "Do It Yourself"
One can see the aruki step in Silva, boxing for MMA
Looks very much like a "superman punch" from Muay Thai. Interesting, I've never seen this application before but it is definitely Yoko Aruki more or less.
Glad this helps
I wonder if Yossi always wears his hakama, even out doors. Those are some bleach white legs =D Nice vid of the use of yoko aruki in combat though.
You can search youtube for: "All the basic Ninjutsu kicks"
This is AKBAN :D
You sound smart youngblood dont worry, live life everyday, everyone has different ways to focus, nothing wrong with that
Train safely :)
nice foot work and speed
I would phrase it differently :D
maybe google "akban ninjutsu portal"
apologies for giving too much away... for free :D
i definitely dont have a problem with exploring 'henka' in application of either forms or techniques; at some point, a person can deviate to the point in which there is almost nothing left, or correct about calling it a certain thing. thats all. bufu
Whenever I try to balance on my toes for walking silently, they often crack :(
You're welcomed here too.
Well, you might say he's a Ninjew

Indeed, in an uneven terrain, this move is hardly used
Excellent video!!!!
Thank you very much!
what is it? mma? box?
Really i like ninja style too....I'm a fan club of Ninja movie too!!!
Why not just go off on an angle instead of going straight back where you're still on the line of attack? That way you can hit them but they can't hit you. Plus there are a lot less things in between you and all of the things that you want to hit.

Kool video,,,ninja walk nd supa man. Punch. Nice! Great. Video
Click around, and thou shalt find :)
Reminds me of the ball change dance step or stutter step.
If you'll look closely you might even notice not only the pale legs but back and belly too.
