Would anybody be kind enough to explain to me what bujinkan budo taijutsu is exactly? A friend told me about it saying it was better/similar to Krav Maga which peaked my curiosity. I tried looking it up on wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bujinkan_Budo_Taijutsu) for a brief explanation which was a fruitless adventure (mainly since i lack knowledge on the Japanese names). I'm curious about opinions as well as the nitty-gritty details. Thanks!

hmmmm... it looks like a fairly formal martial art. doesn't look that applicable for me. very fancy looking, but i like simpler things that are more effective. all though the Cart-wheel at 0:46 is fun. And i like the extra dive rolls they through into look cool. Is that video are very accurate depiction of the art?

Yes, Ninjutsu.

I believe Bujinkan is something like the "kodokan" (judo's home) of ninjutsu.
The name Taijutsu is used, instead of ninjutsu, because I believe they defend ninjutsu is a wider concept, and Taijutsu is the hand to hand combat, weapons combat, and so.
Not sure of what I am saying. I know some people training this at Portugal, since there are quite a few schools here, and this is a general notion I picked up from talking with them.

I always found this item of gragbing someone's hand with one hand, and taking it over our head, send the person away, a very interesting mistery.
I wonder why at judo olympics people dont use this idea, instead of that nonsense of passing long minutes grabbing people by their clothes, with both hands, and still have to work a lot to throw someone!  Very Happy
A bit like arm bars... How incompetent we all must be, as we sometimes have one arm of someone grabed by our two arms, sitted down with our legs helping the process, and still the other guy escapes!
Is the guy houdini? Are we all doing things wrong? Judo people are not so bright? Or the ninja guy, and everyone else that throws one, two, three guys at a time with one hand, are simply out of our league?!?  Shocked Laughing

Sorry. After 23 years of seeing this kind of stuff, I cant help it...

ahhh. okie doke. well that settles that. i do not see as being quite so practical, while it looks neat, i can't see myself making it work.

Luis, I agree, those Judo people are silly for grabbing cloth to throw people, of course EVERYBODY can throw 2+ people simultaneously with one hand! I mean, we do have 5 finger per hand right, so that's like one person per finger yes? Maybe 2 fingers for the really big fellas or the Judokas.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the post MJ. The functionality of a system is not found in their techniques, but in their training methods. Training methods that are devoid of real resistance evolve toward what many find visually appealing. The measure functionality by the reaction they receive from an audience.
   If we are looking for fighting efficiency, then we must look at limited rules sparring for answers.

Interesting find, Mikayla.

To expand on Luis' post, "bujinkan" literally means "warrior-organization"; "budo" means "the way of warfare"; and "taijutsu" means "art of the body" and usually refers to the empty-hand fighting curriculum of ninjutsu/ninpo.  So, as Shelton says, its ninjas.  The meditation they are doing at the beginning is meant to call the kami (ancestral spirits) to bless their practice session (I wonder how many of them actually know that they're doing a Shinto ritual). 

In my professional opinion, this stuff is...



(why yes, that is a mountain of bull$#!+)

A bit off topic but important also for all you people having troubles with "ninjas"

A video that explains how to "get rid of a ninja"

Thanks, Hugo, but do you have a link to the uncensored version?  I might have to kill Walker and Jarlo one day, and their ninja-magic makes them nigh-invulnerable.  Wink

Great song!  Very Happy


I mostly like minute 0:37 the guy looks like harry potter and even has a wand lol!

In another comparison it made me remember master splinter defeating shredder on ninja turtles 1 on the roof top of the building once again showing how to use a little stick against a sword.

Maybe it's the overcommitment on the sword strike that enables such a nice little sticky defense!  Shocked  Razz

If everybody needs a ninja, do ninjas need a ninja too? so then is there an infinite regress of ninjas??? because that would be awesomely terrifying!!!

Dr. McRae, Figg wants to know, "In a certain town, a ninja only protects people who don't protect themselves.  Does the ninja protect himself?"

love the song! great stuff!
