Punch Kick Choke Chat Episode 88 - Stephen K. Hayes

Join us this week on PKCC as we sit down with Master Stephen K. Hayes, who has spent his entire adult life in the pursuit of perfection through the study of the Asian martial arts and spiritual traditions, living and traveling throughout North America, Japan, Europe, the Arctic, China, Tibet, Nepal, and India. Sensei Hayes traveled to Japan in the 1970s and began training under Tsunehisa Tanemura when they met in June 1975. Later, he trained under Masaaki Hatsumi, who referred to himself as the 34th Grandmaster of Togakure-ryū ninjutsu and is the founder of the Bujinkan organization. In 1985, Sensei Hayes was entered into the Black Belt magazine's Hall of Fame as Instructor of the Year. Later, in the March 2007 issue, the magazine featured Master Hayes on the cover and referred to him as "one of the 10 most influential living martial artists in the world". While traveling through Tibet, Sensei Hayes met the Dalai Lama in 1987. For many years in the 1990s, Master Hayes served as the Dalai Lama's personal protection escort and security adviser, especially during visits to the United States.
Off the mats, Master Hayes is the author of many martial arts books, both fiction and nonfiction, as well as starring in a 1988 action film “Ninja Vengeance”.

During the '80s, I ate up as many Stephen Hayes books as I could find. Forty years later and I can't believe people are still interested in anything he has to say.

[@ShadowBloodKnight]

Love Steven Hayes, he inspired me to train hard and perfect my mind and body. Hope i get the honor to meet him one day

[@lucieleblanc4915]

Love it, thank you

[@davidthomas8825]

I never looked at the ninja as persons running around all in black " ninja" outfits. In some of his works, stephen hayes talks about the 7 ways going. So, in effect it was always about the ways of invisibility. If no one could understand that concept, then maybe that side of the art just wasn't for them.

[@thehastingsdojo2332]

Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all to train hard and smart

Would be great if you guys could interview Antony Cummins Samurai/Ninja historian and researcher, you would get a better picture and accurate history.

[@pkcc]

If you have his contact info, get it to us via our webform for submitting guest recommendations and we'll see what we can do!

Antony is not a historian or a real legit researcher and does not even speak or reads japanese. His "research" is "Bullshido". LOL

[@snakeeyes007]

@@TwoForTwentyFilms He is a historian and a researcher, he has a University degree to prove that, his team has several Japanese people, even Miyoko who can read ancient writings. Your comment about "Bullshido"...Shinobinojutsu is not Karate or hand to hand combat, we all know this by now, not sure what "Bullshido" has to do with the subject. If you knew anything about Antony Cummins, or Ninjutsu, you would have approached this in a different way in your attempt to make a historian look bad. More research less feelings.

There was never a special martial art called ninjutsu. Ninjutsu was just medieval Japanese espionage and commando skills; it has nothing to do with dudes in dojos wearing black gis doing hand to hand combat. The "ninjutsu" popularized by Hatsumi was a fraud. Hayes himself is a fraud.

[@freespirit8673]

fact.

[@freespirit8673]

hayes even.had the nerve to make a video called ninja disappearing defense. what a fraud!

[@jasonwright6856]

The American that assisted science in torturing an innocent man that still suffers to this day. Stephen Hayes is a laughing, ignorant man.
