finally i have seen a good ninjutsu video on youtube. it captures the essence of what the art strives to accomplish. nice beard, by the way :)
Ali Karim Sensei, a great martial artist. He speaks so passionately, in person he is such a great man. You can really feel his spirit when he communicates. I hope to get down to the states and train with him again.
This guy is totally right, you are not going to stand in a stance when you are arguing, no one is, actually if you do - you will look like you're crazy. This man is a true sensei.
I really like the point about not showing you are about to fight, and not giving away your style, makes your defense less predictable.
That was very good effortless movement & technique. People always think you have to match or exceed your opponents aggressivenes but you can just get him off balance stay calm & take it from there.
Sensei Karim has very fluid movements. He is the most Aikido-like practitioner of Ninpo I've seen yet, and that's a high compliment. A lot of his technique is ultra similar to Aikido, although that really should not surprise me since they are close arts, but in actual practice I usually see very little Aikido Kihon in Ninpo. This is very impresive to me.
Thank you for posting this video. Seeing your sensei demonstrate at full speed has helped me to better understand the true nature of our slower, more deliberate, movements in practice.
this is probably one of the most useful modern day techniques to use, if you happen to find yourself caught in a street fight, that i've seen in a while... it doesn't look overly difficult either... makes me wanna get back into doing ninjutsu, lol, thanks for posting this =)
I thought this martial art was officially renamed Buod Taijutsu by Grandmaster Hatsumi after having so many people call it Ninjutsu who fail horribly at teaching.
Not to say you do though this was the best demonstration other Hatsumi-Sensei that I have ever seen.Keep up the good work to bad I don't live near you..we need some more real Budo Taijutsu masters like you in America.
i like the fact that all the techniques that this guy is using give you the chance to escape the situation........
Aikido only uses flowing elements (Water and Air). However, Karim Shihan is demonstrating several Elemental (Godai) aspects simulataneously (not just Water (flow) and Air (evasiveness) that are very subtle. His Fire (Strikes = also known as DakenTaijutsu) aspect is subtle and disguised in what looks like 'pushes' but can be accelerated into Koppojutsu's bone-crushing power. As with his perfect usage of Earth-based movement - always grounded and balanced.
I have done boxing and Taekwondo and i never thought of this even though i took these course for self protection. great words too thanks for the upload.
3:10 into this video, very well spoken Sensei Ali A. Karim!!! This is the evolution of modern practical martial arts. To intice attack and remain on the pre-emptive position whenever possible. The psychological effect of keeping your stances close to the vest as to make matters worse. Closing distance is the biggest key in any conflict, negating before your opponent defeats you or strikes is important. "The Way of the Draw" who strikes first/last & how it's done is imporant. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
OOUUUSSSS!!! Simple, Effective & Adaptable...how martial arts should be. Thanks for posting!!! I'm going to need my copy of that DVD.
its just SOOOO cool. MAN these moves are the type to finish someone off quick and easy.
I agree 100% with the natural posture concept! 'Posturing' in a real fight can get you into more trouble than it's worth.
Great to hear you sayin´ "OSU!"
Guess this is a bit forgotten in these days, very cool demonstration!
im an aikido praticioner and we thing the same way as this master said we are in an ceartain stance but not showing any atack or defence move. so therefore very good teaching....keep up that good work.
Hey thanks for the great ninjutsu. I really enjoyed the way Mr. Karim takes the uke to just the edge of his balance point, and lets uke do the rest of the work in falling.
I've been thinking about taking Budo at a local Dojo. This gets me even more excited to take it. It's nothing like I have ever taken.
@RainboColour
I should add that Master Karim is not doing much to show the art in this video. He is merely disrupting the balance of his opponent. There are far more bone crippling applications that can be utilized from many of his positions. But he is teaching the core or any art. Maintaining your balance and disrupting your enemies balance. I don't train in the same art that Master Karim teaches, but I have seen these techniques in the art I train and it's all legit Japanese skill.
5:04 Was the best angle of the technique in this video I think thank you.
I love how this guy has such subtlety with taking kazushi by sweeping the legs out.
oh mann this is amazing umbelievable....i wish someone put an entire video with real fights in ninjutsu....it´s awesome
Karim Sensei really is a terrific person. Have trained along side him at Tai Kais, such a passive speaker. Mind you I do think there is something to the beard giving him special powers ;) I hope to come to NYC in the coming year to spend time with him and learn some.
This art form DEFEATS ALL others if done correctly. Master Kareem is an exellent teacher.
For thoose of you who doubt if this works or not. Well it works even better in competition, the sweeps and takedowns that he does are seen in JKA karate, Wkf karate, MMA and all over the place. To do them right takes timing and guts. And they work both defensive and offensive. Very cool!
this is preety cool im in jujitsu its all about breaking balance and giving you the upper hand in this martial art where can i learn some of this
wow that was excellent, thank you for sharing. I think I might have to get one of your dvd's these days. I really like the part near the end when he stops attacks with kicks.
Thank you for posting!!
you have great wisdom the moves that you are doing remind me of some akido or jujitsu and you are so right play it simple and keep your opponent guessing and off guard this is the best I have seen great pointers
Love the title of the video wind and water. Thanks for sharing.
thanks guys, this video really helped me change the way i think about martial arts and self defence. Its really interesting and incrediby usefull knowing the conceps behind these sorts of things, since as you said befor knowing the concepts are much more usefull then just knowing the technique, since it helps you addapt. knowing and mastering the technique is usles unless you know what its for and how to use and adapt it
Very well put Rawrsification, the principles and concepts you cited are the principles I am operating under, thank you.
Nice video. I have a question about the matting you have in this video. Does that "lego-style" matting work well for falling and rolling or is it too rough?
Very insightful explanation of why not to "posture." In addition to the possibility of your opponent recognizing the style, I might add that your stance also reveals your skill level. A sloppy stance will advertise your lack of skill immediately and might even encourage your opponent.
do u have any branches or schools linked in jersey? any recomendations
@SuubUrbanNinja i have full faith in you sir! you truly are a master. to good to bother with these chumps...
People tell other to prove selfdefence in MMA are strange. If you would know about your so called "rules" you would know its not allowed to use punches aginst throat or geniatals. But do we have to discuss if it would be more effective ?!
On the other side i have to say i would prefer to stay away from any situation i really have to think about hurt someone so bad it causes serious injury :)
Anyway it is a good demonstration of your chosen martial art!
thanks for uploading!
Its a bit like a back up, if you miss the attack at first you still have the guarding hand to take some of the impact on your chin, if youre unlucky enough to get hit. Or another chance to grap the oponent before the hit lands
such insight i'd definitely strongly consider getting this dvd
i love this guy.Fantastic technique as well as good advice.overall nice vid.
@SuubUrbanNinja thank you for the quick reply and the info is duly noted..i will be keeping to that rule from here on in. but if you couldnt keep the distance or walk away for whatever reason should you strike first, and possibly looking like the agressor when you were only defending...again any info would be appreciated. thank you in advance
@RainboColour While not a practitioner of this martial art, I have experienced first hand what similar techniques in Aikido are capable of while I trained in that martial art. With limited background in fighting and curious of the "real world" capabilities of some of these methods I was invited by my sensei at the time (who is a 5' nothing woman) to attack her and very quickly discovered two things. First, she was impossible to hit, and second, where the floor was.
Peace my brother. Do you have a dojo in the atl?
with this style of fighting it would work once closed in just other techniques may be used.. someone trained in ninjutsu would be determined on keeping himself safe which means keeping a distance of course (what better way to avoid a fight?).. and once the attacker shows his intention* giving himself away (in this case a punch) a trained warrior can use that to his advantage keeping himself safe by means of his taijutsu or w/e necessary.. this concept goes much deeper than just a street fight.
very impressive. this level of skill takes years to perfect and hone.
@EsmaelMajedi you would want to get the attacker in a position where he can't effectively use the "boxer" stance. Usually by taking two or three steps back. Make him "have" to use your style. That way you can avoid quick jabs, and use your ninjitsu, aikido, or whatever in the way you were trained, by making him have to charge you.
@Yomaster16 , fight science did a part about that and showed that striking any hard surface increases the bone density in the area being hit. Of course be careful not to over do it and injure yourself.
Great video man... Keep up the great work... Happy new year to all...
Peace Sensai, firstly thanx for shareing your views and techniques.
My knowledge is not great, my question may seem silly, so am sorry.
What kind of training is required to achieve a state of expression less self?
As in the heat of the moment fear can be sensed from ones face. What training should be done to mask this fear from the face?
Peace
As Salaam Alaykum inform me when the DVD is ready for sale!
do you also teach other jutsu like chidori?
@Banminator you do realise this is a demo, so theyre going at a pace so we can se clearly whats hapening, and theyre not trying to hert echother. this isnt ufc and mma or any other ring sport for that matter, its about taking out your oponant with minimum fuss. I dont know about you, but if i got hit in the throat i would find it pritty hard to continue doing anything other then trying to get my breathing back to normal, let alone continue reacting to what else is hapening and fighting.
@prcnguzic for self defence id advise krav migar (mind spelling) kali or wing tsun. itf tkd has some great kicks as well.
Where is a link to buy the dvd?
how do you stop a takedown from bigger opponents ?
how many belts does ninjutsu have and what colours are they???
awesome, the explanation is very good. couldn't be said better. but i have a question is it really only self defence or is it also attack. because in ninjutsu you also study several kicks and, punches.
i like the way u teach wwhere r u located im in PA
Question regarding for when you block attacks in ninjutsu... Does ninjutsu have a burst technique in it as krav-maga does? Where as you block and strike at the same time to bring them down as fast as you can? Or does intercepting attacks have that concept in it?
what are your times of classes and price range?
@shantolog yes if its clear that the person is going to attack, you can make the 1st move. If you dont want to strike, you can make a qyick distraction and get them in a lock or hold and subdue them.
Thanks for the kind and encouraging words, all Budo come from the same roots just different branches (approaches). The principle of sharing unites all Budokas.
dog gone it.What he saids manke so much damn sense.
Ive been thinking like this for ages I just didnt know ninjustsu was the answer.
Tae kwon do is fun and all but I need something that like a ninja turtle.
Cmon thats how we all got got started.lol
These are goods techniques. I studied Kung Fu and learn many of those in Chun Na practice. Good philosophy and good technique. I see how moves that work are shared all over the world. Thanks for posting.
very interesting.a friend of mine once said that a fight was nothing more than a quick game of chess.i think he was right.thank's for uploading
this brings back the memories... i need to get back into training!
@RainboColour you are welcome to visit the dojo and try it 1st hand. Attack as fast as you want and get a 1st hand experience.
he looks like a verry whise and strong man
just one questiion wath do you do with the second fist who is always guarding the chin? or the knee you know wath I mean
btw are you training bujinkan? or an other style
What is the best point to strike on the body in a street situation, to bring the fight to an end?
Very nice and subtle. Karim Sensei is on my facebook. I hope to meet up with him at the Kawakami seminar in Jersey if he is in attendance if not at the JBK Tai Kai, My brothers in the Godaishin speak so highly of him.
wise words spoken there, though how (from the relaxed stance, which i know for a fact to work) would you defend from a person who is right in your face, like 4 or 5 inches away possibly going for a head butt???any info would be appreciated...(ps that is what happened to a friend of mine, head butt right in the face, he never saw it coming the attacker was too close to judge his movements he said)..thank you in advance
Although there were times in wich there were interceptions a vast majority of the time in this demo it was more interrupting the the attack as opposed to intercepting. Like I said there were a few times where the attack was intercepted but most of them were not. Good demo none the less..what ninjutsu system is it based on?
@RainboColour Can you tell me why you think this would not work?
@Zamuteta master karim is located in Brooklyn,NY
snakeeyes007 you got your info from who?
@RainboColour a lot of people say that the style of martial art that the ninjutsu use is one of most dangerous and useful to know. Krav Maga is another.
Very nice I am quite impressed, you have an excellent grasp of martial arts. I hope to meet you one day
Great explanation and techniques.
It seems so easy, but i wonder how many years of training do you need to be able to do it instinctively?
@shantolog there is a rule known as the 3 foot rule. This means never left a hostile person get closer than 3 feet near you. 4 to 5 inches is a blatant violation of your personal space and allows for such sneak attacks. If you make sure a hostile person stays at least 3 feet away such things can be avoided.
I like his beard, I bet that's where his powers come from.
is this bujinkan? The patch looks a bit familiar but I can't exactly see it too well.
Were you guys from Bujinkan ?
@MrIhateselenagomez Ninja would wear whatever was being worn. Hakama are pretty commonplace in Japan. Karim Sensei is awesome and a super guy too.
your sensei has beautiful movement
@sycoman999 I would recommend as a first try to look up wing chun, it is a very goo dstyle and also you have (as in any other style) specific weapons that you can use, and all in all it is a very interesting style. But one thing i must state, no style is complete, it is always better to study multiple styles and try to learn what the best part of each style is.
hope this helps! and BTW wing chun is for short and not very strong people
If you go to ebay and type in the search , Ninjutsu: winds & water" it should come right up.
Man this move is so hard. Its harder than it looks. Correct timing and skill is key...
@SuubUrbanNinja i thought the ryu was located in Hampton Virginia
Where did your Sensei learn Ninjutsu? Whatever style he is using, He is very skilled
is this some form of ninjitsu?
how would you do against taijiquan?
Excellent technique! Much respect Sensei!! OSU!!
Man, you're making me miss my dojo... Sensei Ali A. Karim really is a fun teacher. If you train in NYC, then please PM me your name. Maybe we can meet up, next time I go to the dojo. Assalaamu `alaikum.
i like the way you teaching...i think its very spiritual.isnt it?? i am doing japanese martial arts since many years...and in my way its not important to learn many many techniques..its important learn to be a warrior,learn to be relaxed in any situation, learn to die...if thats possible
its a pity my english isnt good enough to understand all your words.
greets from germany
Master Karim's red beard is awesome!
is this taijutsu from your Ninjutsu curriculum thanks in advance for your time and patience
I have to admit I was quite impressed.
