- What is Bujinkan?
I was invited to take part in a small class to celebrate the opening of a new Bujinkan Dojo in South Florida. This episode is a highlight of that day and we talk to Daishihan Christopher Carbonaro and Sensei Phillip "Angel" Smith about why they practice the art and the message they hope to spread.

I know Chris Carbonaro personally and I am so proud to see this. He is so dedicated to his craft.
Chinese Proverb - 'There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same.'
True...in the end, there's only one garden named martial arts. In that garden, we have a different tree of different types. Different trees have different fruits, different tastes and shape. Ultimately, all of the fruits in the different tres are still FRUIT...and fruit is a symbol of sweetness.
Some paths lead straight off a cliff.
The view is not the same. Some paths are full of crap and garbage to try and walk through while others have steps and stairs and shrines along the journey.
When you reach the top of a mountain, you realize that you still have to come back down the mountain, (sometimes even harder, our worst enemy is our ego) and that there is still, an even higher mountain that you still have to climb.
This is one of the most positive representations of bujinkan I’ve ever seen very well done
Buddha once said "A polished turd is still a piece of crap" .
@@Haywood-Jablomieyou were literally called out by the intro to this video and still had the courage/stupidity to try and meme. Well done.
Same. It's fake guys playing ninja in the park as far as I'm concerned. Show me a single video of Bujinkan being pressure tested or working in a real altercation. Take your time. I'll wait...
Some of the arts they learn are traditional legitimate Jujitsu schools. Togakure Ryu can only be traced back to a 19th century book anyone can easily criticise but these schools are not fake.
Thanks for making this video. As a practitioner of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, it's nice to see a flattering representation of the art. I have taken martial arts since I was 14 years old, and the Bujinkan has been the art that I always fall back to and compare with other arts. It is truly a "life" art that you take with you everywhere you go.
Wasn’t it found that Hatsuumis scrolls were bogus?
@@kennhiser Bujinkan is a made up system based on pop culture.
As a combat sports athlete, I don't understand this... I have searched high and low for a video of Bujinkan being pressure tested or working in a real altercation, and can't find anything. I'm open to being wrong on that if you can show it working.
I don't buy the whole, it's too dangerous to use in mma, or sparring of any kind. Bjj can be deadly too. They still practice it on each other. I've been in literal war zones as an army paratrooper. I would take my muay thai and bjj over anything I've ever seen in any bujinkan I've seen. Is mma, muay thai, bjj, the same as a real street fight? Nope. But, it's a hell of a lot closer than anything I've seen, or being shown in this video. I've looked for it too, very hard as a matter of fact. I've never found a single video or example of Bujinkan working.
Chinese Proverb- "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
About time there was a video showing respect for Ninjutsu.. thank you 🥋👍🙏👊
Watered down principles of Gyokko Ryu Kossijutsu for idiot westerners is NOT ninjutsu.......
Gyokko ryu is the foundation and the origin of Togakure ryu ninjutsu. As well as Koto ryu. I have to correct you on that.
that's because this guy is just trying to appeal to everyone so his videos are popular. I don't have anything personal against the guy, he seems nice, but he shows a lot of ignorance in a lot of his videos.
Anyone with common sense and who trains real martial arts or combat sports seriously can not take the bujinkan ninjers seriously.
@@Liquidcadmus That depends entirely on how it is taught within the dojo. Assuming Bujinkan methods cant work in real situations, is to discredit those who do use it during those times. Like all arts it comes down to how the practicioners apply them.
@@Liquidcadmus The actual Ninja were no more than military spies in feudal Japan. None of this cosplaying has any real connection to them.
My hapkido instructor trained in one of the nine schools within Bujikan. He frequently passed teachings on to us from this school. He also trained under Hatsumi and we gained a lot of insight from his lessons from Hatsumi
So is my Krav Maga instructor a Hapkido expert.
I've been in martial arts over 50 years and I'm now retired. This gives Me more time to watch Your channel. Thank You for Your excellent content and Your interesting topics. You can never learn too much.
Iv watched this video many times. I introduced the video to my Tengu Ninjutsu master in Japan and he was excited. He mentioned that there are many forms of Ninjutsu and that no system is the best. The best way to learn is to learn all or as many as you can. My master admitted that most martial arts today does not impress him, but the Ninjutsu system in the video does impress him as it strives to keep the tradition alive in the most traditional ways. My master still refuses to open his school to everyone as he is afraid of the art falling into the wrong hands. I could not blame him as I myself have seen over the years many practitioners take a martial arts style and use it for the corrupt purposes and disrespect the style. I give this video two thumbs up.
Is it a Koga based system?
@@NovaScotiaNewfie no and it's not Iga.
I was so excited to see you do an episode on Bujinkan! This is by far my favourite episode. Very well done.
Awesome....... i Love Bujinkan .......
Well done! Thank you for the honest view of the art.
Much respect and greetings from a bujinkan student in houston tx. gambatte!!!
That looks like it was a great experience. Nice people/practitioners, awesome culture to experience, a challenging and great art with a long lineage, sweet looking dojo and tatami area, and a plethora of techniques and weapons to learn. Really looks like a great and fun time you had. Nicely done video! 👌😊👍
Are there any ninjas that are not over weight???
This is reality in BJK !!
This is a good, professional and well done interview. Brought a wealth of insight about another system of martial arts. Well done.
Great video. I think what makes Hatsumi sensei - and this art - amazing is what was being hit on at the end. Its important to train with the right kind of attitude. What Hatsumi is transmitting with technique is intention... the intention to do harm or kill behind a strike. That's not to say that he will or that students are put into harm's way... quite the opposite... it's to allow students to feel that in the safety of the dojo setting so that when the time comes to defend oneself out on the streets, you can feel that long before it happens.
Thank you for sharing. Another great video
@nicolas thank you for replying. Perhaps not in the traditional sense. You might enjoy reading Anthony Cummins. He would agree with you on that and has several books on what the traditional ninja skills would have been and claims a samurai lineage with ninja heritage.
That said. The Bujinkan is a fine system with a lot to offer. I have personally learned a lot from reading Hatsumi's works and watching his seminars.
Do you practice a martial art?
Awesome! Hopes for more like this! ^^
Very cool. Always had an interest in Ninjutsu. Had there been a Bujinkan dojo in my area when I decided to get back into martial arts a few years ago I might be training there now.
Awesome video!!!!
Good! I’m happy to see the BJK doing the right stuff. Here is some great guys doing a great art! Another wonderful video!
Great video thanks for sharing!
I belong to a very small Bujnkan Ninjutsu dojo. We don’t LARP in this class, but we do start out training techniques very slowly. We do not do static training, and one must learn how to step, …to get out of the way while setting up their offense/defense . I am nearly 67 yo. I ask the younger students to punch me at full speed. I need to know that I am moving properly. You know… I’ve gotten winged a few times, but so far no slams. Furthermore, I have set myself in what I consider good defensive/defensive posture, only to find myself on the floor. Once upon a time Sensei Sharaishi took me down. I never did figure out how he did it. He and my sensei stood over me grinning. Sensei Sharaishi looked at my sensei and said this, “Oooooh, he okay?” While I laid on the floor. That is my Japan quote for a life time.
This is a great video on Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu thank you
This is fascinating; I wish I lived closer.......R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
Fantastic video, been waiting for this one! Thank you for covering the Bujinkan, my home art. I got the chance to train in Japan two months ago, and can't wait to start really digging into the stuff we covered.
A very well done video.
i trained with the bujinkan for 6 years. then i moved to the mountains of oregon for 15 years. ten of those years i trained in the mountains. the forest. the lakes. the waterfalls. even on the volcano. i would ride horseback in full samurai armor in the mountains in my videos. archery in full armors. cutting tatami mats in full armor. archery in full armor. my whole life was this. such fun. i had my own home dojo with multiple armors. fully matted etc. i did all the things that didnt get taught anymore in the class. i swim in lakes on volcanoes in full ninja gear with swords. using my sword saya to breath out of. blinding powders. every weapon. in the most beautiful places in the most beautiful forest in the north west. i lived on mt hood. then i got into survival and firearms and did all modern combat and survival skills for years. filming over 1000 videos in the mountains. 500 or so are survival. adventure. ninja. samurai. guns. archery and so on. i dont train as much as i used to. but i still love the art. collect swords. do archery. hit the punching bag etc. it is a great martial arts. but many schools dont teach the stuff they did in the 80s or early 90s etc. when i was in it. etc.
You seem to have a lot of experience, not only Bujinkan ninjutsu, but survival. Respect.
@@cranom5616 i only spent 6 years in the bujinkan but i spent a decade in the mountains training in armor. on horses etc. the years of survival skills as i lived in the national forest. and i did all aspects of modern combat and firearms training. thanks. check out my videos.
Great video, thanks.
As I always say: as long as people are getting fulfillment there is no such thing as bullshido. The term "bullshido" was coined and used by the narrow minded who only understand martial arts in the context of the UFC which is just but one chapter in the history of all the martial arts in the world.
Although my current practice is in Brazilian jiu-jitsu (currently ranked as purple belt) but have studied other martial arts and combat systems, I don't expect everyone else to like it as much as I do. People have other reasons, other than cage fighting or being dangerous in "da streetz", for taking martial arts which is as vast and personal as people's personal preference in food, or choice of making a living.
This is why I enjoy this channel because it doesn't focus on one martial art or one philosophy to martial arts but encompasses all the martial arts out there in the world, and their individual objectives and philosophies.
yay a video on my martial art
Great video. Respectful and informative for those who wouldn't be aware of what Bujinkan is and should be about. Nicely done.
Loved this
Liked the respect given to all arts. I especially liked the comment about not understanding a movement or position until shown how it applies to weapons. I think in todays world to many people look at traditional martial arts movement and forms and forget these were developed in an era when most everyone carried a weapon of some sort.
it's refreshing to see a positive comments section on a Bujinkan vid. A few yrs back, when I first started training, It would be nothing but political negativity, both pro and con. I don't know what changed, but it's a breath of fresh air. Thank you all for the positivity. I have found that, in the Bujinkan, You can learn from the negative as well as the positive experiences if you are humble and open to defeat. Then just get back up, dust yourself off. and continue your training in some form; but never quit. This is what I was taught was the essence of Ninpo...the Art of Endurance......
Some people don't care enough to take the time to find out for themselves what it is. One could argue that modern martial sports and everything in between are just as effective, and have a 'provable' lineage. Either way, it is a matter of perspective. The proponents are not going to stop defending it, and the haters are never going to see otherwise, so it's pointless to debate. Some of the detractors are those who trained in the Bujinkan but either quit because of themselves, or were kicked out and are resentful.
Wonderful video!
Beautiful demonstration, and more history of Ninjutsu. Thank You for the lesson.
No matter the subject, you bring respect and humility to all of your videos and it is so appreciated, Sensei. Thank you!
yes, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community can definitely learn a ton from him in that regard
This is the best intro to Bujinkan on the internet.
These guys wore masks before covid struck...
...proof of Ninja psychic ability!
Great video very informative!
I love how you respectfully review styles. I've seen this style ridiculed. And their techniques put down. Well done.
Always interesting, Dan! Looks like you had a good time with some very gracious martial artists.
GREAT video .
Cool work sir 👍👏
A great video presentation and essential insights from Chris and Co. For anyone wishing to engage in Bujinkan training - the more you learn, the more you realise there is to learn! Look for the best source and do not give up!
I am going to echo all of the positivity comments posted so far. I had the experience of 2 very different teachers. Although as I look back on it the younger teacher I had was amazing, I was young too and just thought incorrectly. I actually had my kids enrolled in a Bujinkan down Sensi Chris lineage here in Virginia. I absolutely agree with the statement that this is a life long martial art, as most should be, this one just feels like it is a lifetime. Well done video!
thank goodness you found a quality teacher. As a former bujinkan student i have to say it is refreshing to see a video on RUclips that is not either "the bujinkan is fake" or "the bujinkan is the only true martial system." Also love the emphasis on hiding strikes and devoting a lot of time to intensive study of human nature, movement, and culture. But one major question for the school would be : "how would they adapt the techniques to deal with MMA or more contemporary combat sports?" I have trained with teachers who were able to contend with sport fighters but most bujinkan schools seem to disdain such work. Great work.
Get fighting fit, and use weapons if you are smart would be my strategy. ;)
A well trained MMA fighter is use to pressure and sparring.
Not all Bujinkan practitioners are use to dealing with that. Of course the best strategy would be to avoid the fight.
I actually practiced Ninjutsu (that particular school didn't use Bujinkan as the name for what they are doing anymore but it was the Hatsumi style they originally practiced) in a school that added MMA and GJJ sessions to their training plan and used some Krav Maga inspired elements, too.
@@JosephJalta Interesting. Can you remember what they called it?
@@iansinclair6256 Yes. They called it Ninjutsu. It's the lineage of Daron Navon who was Hatsumi's first "Westerner" to be promoted to Godan.
www.akban.org/doron-navon-the-first-foreign-bujinkan-shihan
awesome insight
Sensei Dan. Awesome video. Sometimes it's hard to study martial arts that deeply other times it's awesome. It's definitely a journey worth getting into. There's a deeper more spiritual meaning behind every style then just the combat of it .
True
Thank you for this episode!!
Awesome..... much Respect to all fellow martial artist past , present and future..................................
I loved watching it. Thank you for sharing.😀
Great video thank you, you're an honour to your teachers & tradition...the real Bujinkan is a precious & powerful lineage, the others are not Bujinkan...
Just watched the video again.. GREAT WORK 👍👍. I started in the Bujinkan in 2004 and never looked back Thanks to Maten dojo. Thanks again for sharing...
Awesome now do one on Ashida Kim
And Yes, you are right on point.
It's a life art, and a good life.
Always can't wait to put my
Tabs on, because the excitement that you have been waiting for, is about to begin. Stay safe out there, thank you.
Great video
It's nice to see someone coming in to Bujinkan with neutral mindset, cheers!
I train in Bujinkan and I also keep a neutral mindset. I would not waste my time for the past 6 years if I didn't think it was legit or effective. However, I am not a fanboy of the art and I don't go about preaching it like it is some mystical magic art. It is a system of 9 of the classical Koryu arts of fuedal Japan. It is unique, but if another style suits you better, then that is all that matters.
@@caseyalexander2244 I was in Bujinkan for about 6 years too but unfortunatelly my teachers were fradulent so I started hating the organization and moved to other, more accepted Koryu arts. Later my hate for Bujinkan cooled off and now I am working with one Bujinkan teacher as a side training, since my current school has no SOjutsu and Naginata.
A lot of people get misled and end up hating the Bujinkan. Those are the people you hear from hating on the art or starting their own art for personal validation.
@@caseyalexander2244 I see your point but I wouldn't say it's for personal validation always. I think many people see good things in Bujinkan, but their teachers never practice them and probably don't know them very well so they want to do better. I didn't do it but I have considered it myself at one point, before I left.
I had a brief 6 month stint in Bujinkan in College back in 2015. I don't remember much of it, though I remember the experience was very pleasant. At the time, I was only familiar with techniques from Shotokan Karate and boy was Bujinkan different. I was used to the deep, powerful and thrusting stances and strikes from Shotokan, but I was constantly reminded to be more subtle and used smaller movements.
It was nothing like any other martial art I had seen. It had strikes but it was nothing like Karate. It had body mechanic based grappling but it doesn't really resemble Jujutsu or Aikido.
I now practice American Kenpo, but last night my Sifu decided to train "X-Block" based techniques from his Shorin-Ryu days. It reminded me of the "Jumonji No Kamae" stance from Bujinkan. It seems the "X" form of the arms is a very versatile in many martial arts ("Capturing The Storm" anyone?)
You could tell my Bujinkan instructor (a very fun guy) had his fair share of detractors with a very memorable quote he taught us on the first day: "Many people find out B.S is real once they step in it."
Even though at a glance Bujinkan can seem very bizarre and even ineffective, the fact that it was used by my instructor who was a former F.B.I agent among other things must mean there is certainly a merit to the art.
Makes me homesick to get back to training again. I stopped about 5 years ago after a second knee surgery.
once again you outdone yourself sensei Dan, I always questioned about how real Ninjutsu is compare to what people see on tv, I have respect for all martial arts, and Ninjutsu is no exception, can't wait till this series is completed
Thank you Sir! This particular episode is only a one part, we don't have a second Bujinkan prepared. This video was a highlight of the visit to the dojo. We may circle back to his art later. We have more arts in the works :D
Art of One Dojo Look into To-Shin-Do!
This was great. I like how it is gentle enough to continue practicing as you get older.
So good to see The Bujinkan, explained and shown in this way. Thank you for taking your time, giving us a look into the Bujinkan. It's a very special way to train, even if you are busted to bumpkiss. Dick Severance, I will always be so grateful Poppy. You are so missed. Bu Fu.
Thank you,😀
I have a love for all MA. I've done many throughout my years. Bujinkan for me is complete and the other arts and experience that I've gained compliment my martial art. I am blessed that I have a great group to train with. We're lucky that Soke has shared his knowledge and skills. He is a great example on how to mature and still being able to train.
Thank you for emailing me the video of Bujinkin Ninjutsu, I enjoyed it very much.
I study Bujinkin Taejutsu Ninjutsu/ Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu and I love it!
Ive trained in Bujinkan and Kenpo karate for about 12 years each my two favorite styles. Ive trained in Aikido, judo, bjj, iaido, hapkido and a couple more but kenpo and bujinkan are my favorites
👀
Beautifulll..🥰🥰🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼ilike it too the ninjutsu
So cool, I was waiting for a clip showing Sho Kosugi (Pray for Death).
That looked like a wonderful experience Mr Dan. Thank you for the share. Love weapons training. We do a bit in our style. Mainly Katana, Bo Staff and Nunchuku.
politics has no place in Bujinkan in my honest opinion!
any dojo should focus only on the art and the training
for myself i am extremely limited in what i can do after having a massive stroke 5 years ago, so a lot of knowledge was basicly erased overnight, i feel the only thing that will get my left sided semi paralysis back to being "normal" or as normal as possible is Ninjutsu, this is not going to be a quick fix, it will take many years of complete dedication to repair the damage done to my physical abilitys
i trained 2hours a night 5 nights a week for 5 years under Joe Rafferty in Edinburgh Scotland who himself had trained under Haatsumi in Japan and traveled all over the world attending seminars, i was just starting to get good and its doubtful i will attain the ability/level i was at. but if i dont try without full dedication i wont stand a chance of making the recovery i want.
thankyou for this video! i have subscribed to your channel
Good video
Very good video Minute 13.30: so true ! One should follow deeply a good master. And yes, many things are done for money, nowadays.. :(
I studied a little taijutsu with sensei barak that studied under hatsumi sensei
Awesome video. I've been training under Bujinkan over almost 5 years, and although I can see some little differences between Sensei Carbonaro and my own (partly because, I guess, differences between their own Senseis, partly because of their own different mindsets/personality), it was very comforting find out that they share a similar aproach and underline about techniques and the mindset you eventually develop after the constant practice. Greetings from Argentina, and keep up the good quality of the vids! :D
Thanks for your channel. Nice to see someone actually investigating other styles in a respectful way. Agree and have said one of the problems with TMA is lack of true teachers not the functionality of the original art
I like what he was saying
Wish had i got into this stuff back in the early 80s when i was thinking about it, now i doubt my shoulders would stand for it 59
First time I've heard of this, thanks for providing excellent insight into it.
Be good to see a follow-up to this covering Genbukan, Jinenkan and To-Shin-Do.
Sorry, Toshindo doesn't qualify.
Casey Alexander why not?
@@adandyguyinspace5783 Because Toshindo is an offshoot off the Bujinkan, and was created by someone who was kicked out of it. It's basically a way to teach westerners taijutsu. Not worthy of mentioning. Genbukan and Jinenkan are simply too small to even be able to find someone to do an interview with, and again, they are offshoots. Pretty much the same, but less material.
@@caseyalexander2244 I don’t think Stephen Hayes was kicked out 🤔
@@adandyguyinspace5783 This was written by someone in the know: www.coloradospringsninjutsu.com/Blog/Entries/2012/8/6_Toshindo_is_not_the_same_as_Bujinkan.html
Thank u very much for giving us the right perfect information..respect ninjutsu
Where do u buy the best shuriken and bo shuriken to practice
Thank you so much Sensei dan I hope you make more videos of Bujinkan in the Future
YAY!!! NINJA ART!!!!
You did a very respectful interview mate. :)
Thank you. Very good episode.
Check out To-Shin Do if was developed by Stephen K. Hayes Mr. Hatsumis first American student and who brought Mr. Hatsumis teachings to the USA.
Interesting. I hope you do more videos on Bujinkan in the future.
Fantastic video Sensei,reminds me of why I started 🥋
Ok, I saw the belt ranking system in the Google images link, and I counted 24 belts, I have never seen a belt system like that. Let alone that many belts in one style, wow.
There's actually only three. Four if you cut one of them in half.
I've trained in a. Form of ninjutsu here in so cal and my senior grandmaster died a few years ago and I would just like people to understand that there are ninjutsu schools out there that do full contact training and train hard
Very great, informative and respectful video! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sounds simular to what I do. I do get UK an that it's nine. With shin Jin dojo with Stewart Alison. Genbukan in UK. Been at it 4 years or so.
When you know the way you can see it anywhere
Solid
I studied for 3 years in a Bujinkan Dojo, it was still my favourite experience in a martial art and unfortunately the only reason I left was because of work in a different city. I hope you enjoyed your experience in it, even if it was for only one class!
It was really fun learning something completely different than what I am used to. It was definitely a great experience!
Thank you for making this video. Ninjutsu has been made into a joke for so long. Even I had predetermined ideas about this video before watching it. This was one of your best. I really like the humility of the instructor. This video really taught me to respect all arts. Great great video , one of your best posted . I do like To Shin Do though.
Unfortunately this video it's not genuine. It only shows the good part of the organization.
Wow very honest opinion,inwas so lucky to meet a ex special forces instructor in us army,he also taught federal and was involved in federal law enforcement, he is a sincere instructor who made exceptions for my workedical and cinacial issues ,the more I studied Tai jutsu is based on natraul body moments to waste as little body energy on possible as you dont know whem the fight ends ,thank you for a honest review
I also have menkyo from Soke Hatsumi in the 90s
Also was told sense means one who went before you
Would you do a deep dive on taiho jutsu, the Japanese police martial art of the 50s please? There is a budding scene in England with strong links to judo, jujitsu, aiki jutsu and goshin jutsu.
Or possibly japanese law enforcement martial arts as judo and aikido also have strong links with Japanese police forces over the last century.
Thankyou and I hope you see this message.
YES!!!!! I would love to learn more about Taihojutsu.
Here’s my thing, I would like to meet these guys myself and do a little training with them to cut thru some of the BS that is now associated with Bujinkan. I know a girl personally that trained in it and she’s a badass little fighter. We spar together. Train together. She hasn’t done or said anything “crazy” since I’ve known her. But, you’ve got this other side like the 15th black belt degrees now. The test where you’re hit in the head with a training sword (I’ll post the video link at the bottom). Same with systema. The founder of that now teaches you can stop a kick by simply poking the attackers knee cap. If the guys featured in your video are legit, we need more ppl like them to stand up and say, “this is not what our system is really about.” For some reason we still live in a world where there is so much martial arts crap, that associates it’s self with real styles, it puts off a bad image, especially when it’s founders doing it. This is not meant to be a disrespectful comment and I apologize if it comes off that way, more if the opposite. More of, as I said, we need authentic practitioners to be the voice louder than the bull crap that’s getting attention

I trained with Sensei Simon Gaunt in New Zealand for a couple of years, brilliant man, and a brilliant martial art.
