Here I am, an American college student, taking a study break during my internship in Mongolia, watching a Scottish Highlander tell me how to become a ninja.
I'd like to thank the 21st century for being so weird, and I'd like to thank you, Tom, for helping it be that way.
lol. Great description.
"Forest warrior monk" is now my new favorite D&D subclass.
Not a weirdo... for sure, what most of us really want to do.
What’s so wrong about being a weirdo
I call what you describe as forrest warrior monk by a different name, Wilderness Martial Arts.
I describe it thusly: Wilderness martial arts is a call back to the original way in which great warriors of old would train...
I want to grow this niche more and I think you are well on the way to helping people out that want to train in a martial art while enjoying a more natural environment.
Cheers!
When I was 20 in 1982 I had a fascination with sticks, bows,camping, survival, I made my own sticks out of Ash, Hazel and others I also made my own arrows,awhile later this developed into armoured combat with swords, spears, I made my own shields too, and joined a Viking/Saxon group. Stick fighting is great fun, I still have many staffs, sticks and walking sticks.
Keep the videos coming 👍
Every time I watch one of your videos I get filled with the overwhelming sensation to snap the handle off my broom, throw on my kilt and sprint into the woods. Seriously though you are a massive inspiration to me, love your videos man.
Edit: btw, where do you get your staves/staffs from?
haha! Glad to hear it man! My main walking staff I made from a Rowan sapling. Another is a Japanes, oak Jo staff, another a rattan and oak bo staff I bought online
@@FandabiDoziI would buy staffs from your website if you sold them.
@FandabiDozi if you like flow, May I suggest studying baguazhang
@@padd6007it’s very easy to make them yourself. And it’s way more fulfiling :))
@@stefans.8850 As someone that has made very many staves ever since I was little kid running through the woods behind my house, this. Finding the right wood, the correct grain, practicing and learning to carve your own designs and make it truly yours, is not only a journey in itself but much more personal than clicking add to cart.
Seen a lot of videos sponsored by AG1 but you make it seem like us forrest monks could actually use it too 👍 As always, great video!
Yupp especially in Biographer😂
Nearly £100 a month for a Laboratory man made supplement that one can get for free from nature !!! People should be concentrating on learning about natural foods rather than helping get someone rich....
Absofrigginglutley agree
Svatá pravda kamaráde ❤
I agree, but unfortunately he dose have to pay rent. Let’s try to be a little more understanding of other peoples need to support themselves
Hello! My name is Rudar, I live in Curitiba, in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
I had the pleasure of visiting Edinburgh in 2019 and I simply "came home". Since then, I've been looking for all the information I can about Scotland, as if I needed to relearn the country my soul belongs to. I don't know what your beliefs are, but I personally feel that I've lived in this place, I've been Scottish in another life. It's a feeling that goes beyond a simple liking. My soul cries out to come home.
I found your channel thanks to my research on kilts and since then, I watch them one by one, sometimes repeatedly. Its content is excellent precisely because of the simplicity and frankness it conveys. Apart from that I learn a lot about "my soul country".
I thank you and send my hugs and best energies from Brazil.
I'm an Instructor of 4 different martial arts, and this video filled me with joy man xD
I love your channel. I live with slow chronic heart failure. Staff exercises have kept me fit and balanced. I have like, 6 or 7? 3 oak staffs (1 jo) some fire hardened, beaver eaten driftwood....Can't remember. I live in a forest in northern Québec and find solace in nature.
You inspire me every time, watched your vids many times and passed them on to friends.
It's fascinating to see how every culture in humanity has found a way to work with sticks. It's like there's a universal connection we all share with the simplicity and versatility of a stick.
LOVE your videos. Thank you for being thoughtful, playful, goofy, obvious, and profound. It's a joy to watch everything you do and remember my very brief time in the beautiful highlands of Scotland.
That was very interesting.
And as French stick-swingers we are very impressed with your bâton Français techniques, you even do something very akin to a (or "the") Rose Couverte in the Flow part, that's very enjoyable to watch and must be even more to practice.
I wonder if I'm not going to buy a pair of gym rings.
I started following you when you first started discussing Highlanders. I got fascinated by the clans 4-5 years ago. Been awhile and I’ve just come back to your channel. Everything your talking about in this video is everything I’m looking for. Love your content brother. Same concept across the pond, in the Allegheny National Forest.
Great video, Tom! In your studies of Warrior Monk Traditions, you've probably learned about the Yamabushi of Japan. I have studied Japanese martial arts for years that have strong ties with the Yamabushi. I enjoyed your video very much because of the similarity with what I've studied in the past!
Just spent two weeks in Kenya. The Maasai 'staff culture' is so cool. It's nothing fancy, it is just such a big part of their life/culture
This was a great video, Fandabi. Entertaining, informative, and light-hearted! Well done, Sir!
Our entire world is in a state of decline. I think all your years of training are going to be far more useful than simply making a YT channel soon... I do not see mankind lasting much longer.
Are you a sheep? All men should be warriors.....................!
There is more truth in that post than society would like to admit. You may think I'm crazy but I suggest everyone have some preparation to live without electricity, multiple large-scale EMPs inevitable if Putin or any crackpot starts shooting off nukes.
I love your channel, Tom. That's a beautiful area you have for your outdoor activities. I was born in Aberdeen, but have lived in Australia since I was 4, am 48 now. I certainly have highlander blood in my veins and hope to see Scotland someday. Cheers 🍻
You saying finding flow is like learning a new instrument is perfectly accurate!
As a drummer, my job is to translate flow into something that gets bodies moving. It requires a calm, zen-like state of mind, coordination of all 4 limbs, and maintaining precise timing. Flow comes naturally when those things are combined properly and turbulence results when it's lost.
Another fantastic video! Thank you!!
Never stop doing what you do, my friend. Your earlier videos changed me and moved me to better my life, and I've been getting loads of inspiration from you since I first started watching. You're a real treasure!
As a 5’2” 90 lb female.. in excellent physical condition.. who does cross country running and follows a daily exercise regime..
Would like to learn the forest monk training.. however.. some of this seems beyond my ability..
Do you have adjustments that would be appropriate for someone my size?
Really appreciate your videos.. although these are mainly directed at males.. there are women like me who have joined your tribe.. we believe we could do this if it were made a wee bit variated for smaller ones like me..
Thank you💜💙
Quite inspiring aye. I noticed gyms never done it for me. Always felt too boxed in and such. But getting out into nature really does change that. I used to cycle a lot and it kept me fit, cycling down canals and such. Perhaps I should invest in a bike again and get out there. And maybe even pick up a stick or two… good thing sticks are everywhere
Missed out going to Archery today because I have no strength this morning. Wish I had now, even if it was for the social aspect. Fitness, Focus, Social. Great video as always. What a legend.
So do you have any tips for creating a routine for getting better with survival skills? Because I have been getting into survival and wilderness stuff lately but I have no idea how I should practice and train these skills. So if anyone has any tips that would be well welcomed.
Can the staff abilities and workout be done with just a simple broom stick? Is there a video for a beginner tutorial? Thanks!
Fun fact about archery based repetitive strain injuries back in the prime of the English longbow men who's bows had draw weights upto and sometimes exceeding 140 pounds would experience drastic changes in their skeletal system their ribcage would stretch and the bone density in their hold arm would double all to cope with the comical amount of stress they would go through during their trains and battles
Very interesting, your staff technique reminds me of those of the southern shaolin monks or Okinawa bojutsu.
nice. i like the archery part. i do speed shooting. no handed rolls with the bow and with m4 rifles. or any other weapon. archery in samurai armor. in full ninja gear in the mt hood forest. this popped up in my recommended videos. but ya you could like my combat archery - archery of the ninja 2018 video. but some i am in samurai armor in the forest on mt hood by the river doing speed shooting and so on. i make videos to. we are both warriors at heart. i did bujinkan budo taijutsu and ninjutsu and samurai bujutsu formally etc. for many years and solo training in the mountains for over a decade. keep up the good work bro. always good to meet another fellow warrior.
Fandabi dozi! You got to try finger boards! They are a tool us rock climbers use to work out at home, just put it above a door and then you can do pull ups, grip exercises and just hang kinda there if you want.
You should check them out and maybe do a video? There’s not a specific brand i can think of to recommend but you should do a little research and check it out if you want to
Please stop promoting AG1 - the biggest **** on the market...
Digging that lace-up orange shirt. Did you cop or make that?
I do this with swords but no one else wants to join me to play bc they are less experienced and instincts usually mean I win bc I have the muscle memory
Huge fan of your work man. It’s amazing just the way you “flow” with everything and every movement you make 😮. Big new inspiration on me brother👏.
Ey man, do u have a link to the 12:52 song? It really sound good for me.
Sorry, but a toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls.
A couple of nerds do the same thing in the woods by my house.
as a beerlover I really like what you did with that hainikun
2:56 Forest warrior monk training is a frickin sick name don’t worry
I do karate wish I could do the bunkai and read the bubishi
Great Video and Great Training! You should do a Forest Warrior Monk routine for urban monks!!
Thank you! The plan is to one day develop an online training course where anyone could follow along. Starting to experiment with lessons on the Patreon page currently :)
@@FandabiDozi I'll definitely check it out!
I’m so inspired to try this!! Love your videos as a reflection of your attitude about life Tom. You are such a badass.
Sounds like the perfect day to me! You've clearly thought a lot about how to get the most out of your environment without needing to spend like crazy on gym equipment. What kind of recovery time do you feel you need after this kind of training?
This is great mate. I love all this stuff. But could you indulge me for a moment and explain haw you are NOT running away for all the main problems facing your county, and the world? As a man, and member of the 'super tribe' haw are you helping the 'culture war' but living as a forest warrior monk? it may be good for your mental health. But isent that just cope? I'm asking because i too would live like this. but have choses not to. because i consider it running away for the most important things happening in the world. - The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.
If no one does this it will be forgotten. This is facing yourself, which is the first big step that one can take to face the problems of the world. We only get now, be focused on self improvement.
@@williamburke9947 a good start. i find no fault in your reply. very Marcus Aurelius. nothing i don't know. But, not really the answer i sort. What good to the world, to posterity is a 'forest monk'? That is the question. Not good to oneself, but external good. (There is only so much 'good' that not forgetting things can do. And there are already others not forgetting.) Thank you for trying to answer. I like you reply. its just not want i am looking for.
LOVED ! !! Im importing your !DEAS to my training !!!
MUCH LOVE from Brazil
GOD Bless ALL
This is definitely one guy who could probably use what he has learned effectively in any situation ❤
Loved the generally acting like a weirdo comment! All the best people do.
Wish I'd found your channel before getting chronic illnesses and could've done at least some of your ideas
@Fandabi Dozi I'm only 0:24 in and I know you're quoting the book of five rings. Can we expect quotes from 'the Hagakure' and 'Bushido, the soul of Japan' in future videos? Maybe some choice quotes from 'The Red Army Geurilla Warfare Pocketbook'? Maybe some Bruce Lee? :D Good stuff.
You should copyright FOREST WARRIOR MONK. cuz some will take it...😅😅😅
And practice outdoors
I am a BOG, Barefoot Old Guy and have set up a earthgym in Northern California. Where we train and compete in the Games Of Olding.
I have been exploring strength tools for almost three hundred seasons. I am enjoying your videos. I was wondering. Have you ever studied with the training manual Shobogenzo, written by Dogen or the Upanishads, which are known as the Aranyakas or forest books?
My second question is while training with sticks, did you follow the teachings of the stick into the integration of stick and stone, the hammer?
Cool clip
Enjoyed it
Thx for making it available
Q
Is there any particular brand of gym rings that you recommend
Thx
👊😎
Beautiful!! I would really like to be with you and share this severe psycho-physical training... but I practice it alone in Rome
Wow Bless You Cherished Friend and Role Model! Just what I need to remember, absorb and implement. Thank you for sharing your Forest Warrior Monk Training.
Aaahhhh, another awesome video Tom!!! Thanks so much for sharing your content with us and giving us a chance to become a bad ass Forest Warrior Monk!!!🏹🗡
Hi! I practiced the « bâton long » at Toulouse ( France). Is this the same practice you do ? Thanks
Sébastien
Have you ever used the Helm Awe to design your training program. It is also known as the Dharma Wheel. Most consider these eight pointed. But they are nine pointed. The center point is the axle. Buddhist, Daoist, Yoga, the eight fold path. It is known to be a navigational tool. I think our ancestors used it to pull our attention into focus.
Have you found anything along these lines?
Good to see you back Tom
Love your videos
What staffs are being used for the sparring? We've always avoided sparring with hard wooden stick because of the hard impact....
How's your relationship with the Fair Folk in your lovely woodlands? They must find your exercises entertaining to watch.
For all the jokes about being a scottish monk/ninja/cultural mishmash, staff and bow training is rather quintessential yeomanry. I've a feeling that your ancestors would be quite familiar with what you're doing.
Loved your video.
Just as a tip.. when u practice with the staff, it seems that your upper body form is almost perfect, but.. when you moved freely hiting the rope, your lower body form, your legs seemed out of balnced. Meaning you may fall easly and there will be a major lack of power. You must transfer the energy of hit from the ground, root yourself, keep the shoulders down. Speaking as a Hung Gar practitioner.
You are very talnted, perfect form when practicing without a target. Great archer(better then me), just that spesific issue might use a little improvment.
Root yourself then hit.
Keep up the good work, life and videos.🍻
I see your hole personal evolution in the last year's you make big Steps your Skills are impressive 👍 Stay Healthy trink a lot and eat so much you can find free fresh fruit s they give your body new cell s regeneration
👁️🙏👁️
Namastè
I think you should like the system of Ivar Hafskjöld called Stav. Look it up. I have been doing that for over twenty years.
There's also a lot to be said about the meditative aspects and flow involved with music. Either playing an instrument or singing, it's a very zen feeling. Plus singing is very good for breathing and lung/core strength while using instruments can help with different aspects of more fine motor functions. You could even classify that part of the exercise routine as Making Noise
Hello! Remember to get maximum benefit from any martial art you have to stretch each muscle in the body. Without flexibility you will only have motion.😂
Musashi has inspired a true monster with this one, though I definitely find myself liking pharoah kafre's philosophy since we're all cave lions. Now we just have to take your spirit and crush it..., your bow skills are definitely better than your bow skills though. Rings look nice to have, I wish I had room for a roman chair, or outdoor designed one that he'd probably be better at making than most people,
but I've been keeping up with about 9 sets of push ups with push up bar variations and horse stance once a week at least, just gotta eat more today like most days. It's not a bad idea to practice some hip rotation like the karate nerd jessie even if you don't have dojo technology like musashi sometimes though? I've been planning on getting around to some sai videos myself probably when I've got nothing better to do one of these days anyway. Hand to hand karate practice can probably help you beat someone practicing a bow with a bow too, and I definitely like my chances against cocaine bear much better with my sword of dusk, though it's probably not a bad idea for me to start writing my obituary now, it'll say, dear mommy, I'm sorry I was eaten while fighting cocaine bear by myself, because fandabi fights with a bo-staff like a girl.
I'm making a D&D character based off of this concept of the forest warrior monk. Love the channell!
i bet they wont have english people acting this freely now probably have 10 armed police called out..
I was thinking about to put together a training routine which is effective, scaleable, also gives agility, and fun. The best part, i can do this outdoors. Thanks for this awsome vid and channel, you saved me a lot of hassle. Keep up the good work, and all the best for you.
Very interesting video. Although boxing is more my thing I also really like the cane/staff. Have you done any unarmed martial arts? I would really like to know more about Scottish unarmed martial culture, and if they had any of their own systems that are not around any more.
Have you ever tried to use double sticks into your weapon flows? Would definitely open up your mind and get the creative juices flowing.
Wake up, honey. Fandabi Dozi just uploaded. I love the look you got going on, by the way.
The English longbow had a typical draw weight of 90 - 150lb.
I’ve always wanted to get better with a bow and staff. Used to make my own bows and arrows and carried a staff while hiking. Never really trained enough with them though
Well done. I have similar training with staff and bow. Also with music.
Super cool
😊
With these guys like Tom and Wendigoon being sponsored by AG1 they know how to sell something.
Def not a fan of the cold dunk and I swear its just unnecessary torture. I'll never try that stuff again. A nice warm shower loosens me up clears the cobwebs and gets my brain going, the cold thing.... nah just leaves me flat and wanting a restart
interesting sponsor
Soooooo you live near a clean water fall with clean enough "Water" to jump in and a beautiful forest were early you will not catch a heat stroke. Man your blessed not realistic to all of us across say near half the most well known Country. Annnnnd I pray one day I at least visit a place like this before dieing. Here the sun is so hot plp falling from heat strokes walking to the bus. Or being to drunk and passing out behind a store yeeeeeah game over.
Forest Warrior Monk is a vibe I can get behind
DUDE , YOUR KIND OF A WEIRDO 👍. I REALLY LIKE THAT. IM 65 AND SURE WOULDA LIKED TO HAVE KNOWN THEASE THINGS YOUR SHARING IN MY TWENTIES. I WORK OUT , TRY TO SHOOT A BOW AND LOVE THE FOREST. IM GONNA TRY AND EXPLORE YOUR ROUTINES. UNFORTUNATELY IVE HAD MULTIPLE SHOULDER INJURIES AND THE RINGS AND PULL UP STUFF I WOULDA LOVED TO DO ARE NOT SOMETHING I SHOULD TRY. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR ROUTINES. IM IN FOR ALL IM WORTH 👍💪❤🙏
Such an inspiring video, i love archery as well can you recommend a bow for beginners? :)
Be careful if you decide to get some rings! I strained my wrist using them and had a long recovery. Focus on form and building up strength.
Just curious. Have you ever heard of the Wif Hoff method? Wondering because you started your vid with a variation of it..
you've got it all figured out man. i live in Manchester and wish i had places like these to go - i can visit the peak district easy enough but you certainly can't get away with doing things like shooting a bow there. wild camping options are limited too.
during covid lockdowns i debated moving to dumfries and living nearer wilderness... kinda wish i'd done it now
I would hope you would get a left handed bow so you can shoot both sides. I have for years and it has saved me back problems. It was recommended to me by a physical therapist and it's fun being able to be accurate from both sides.
Fandabit Dozi, love your channel, thank you so very much.
Tom; is there a Gallic version of "uber-mensch"? Because you are it!
As long as a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be subjected to the lordship of the English. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself
Thanks for the tutorial. Now I can become a shinobi somedays or some years in the future.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to add some heavy stone training to your "functional strength training".
Do you do any running through the woods with moccasins? Or some other form of cardio besides body weight exercises?
you would enjoy kyudo it's basically meditative archery
Very excellent sir. Bravo! You have very much inspired me!
where can we find full videos of the Kenjutsu/sword training seen in the begining of this video?! 😃

Hi Tom, interesting video, would you be interested to collab sometime?
