I Tried Ninjutsu

I tried Ninjutsu, the art of the Ninja! We practiced rolls, weapons like the bo, and did a bit of “randori”!

Big thanks to @TheNinjaEveryDay for the help with this video! @ChapelHillQuestMartialArts

Thank you Sensei Seth for visiting our dojo! You’re welcome back anytime!

I like how the sensei is actually humble and not really boastful or talking about how much better he is than anyone else. This guy is a legitimate TEACHER which is nice to see.

[johnelliott]

Really liking this 'actually try it out" thing you have going. It's like actual journalism!

Seeing that woman cry at the end because she earned her blackbelt was super heartwarming. Whether or not this is the most effective or dangerous or whatever that woman worked really hard towards something that was meaningful to her and she accomplished it. If that ain't the spirit of martial arts I don't know what is

[stevenalexander]

Mad respect to the sensei... understands that what hes teaching is a martial art and doesnt say that its anything other than that

“I did some jujitsu”
~Hardy, a jujitsu black belt

I'm not even kidding when I say you should take Icy Mike to these things just to see him go from his fuming state to accepting it till the end of the class. 😂

It's cool doing these types of arts, "slow" instead of everyone ending up at the ER.

The “flow sparring” drilled here with consensual elements is actually an extremely good way to train and drill. Fantastic tool to add some chaos without overwhelming students, letting them focus on mechanics and finding opportunities for application in a safe way. I think full on sparring is overrated, and using more limited sparring drills (I.e, goal oriented sparring) or flow sparring that is more playful and safe (like this or much of Thai sparring) is far better for skill development

[debamchakraborty]

Does art of ninjutsu also include teaching charisma, because damn this teacher is full of it.

Try HEMA please. Like technical HEMA. The medieval combat video was just bashing people around in armor but proper HEMA actually has a lot of technique in the swordsmanship

[theovlachotheo]

As a long time practitioner of Ninjutsu, I have this to say: Excellent work on your part, approaching without prejudice and with real appetite to learn. This is because Ninjutsu is easily exploited by"ninja masters"and has been ridiculed because of that.
Finally, laconically as befits the context, this Sensei gets it, very nice Dojo.

Thank you.

Really appreciate that you went in with an open mind, but still asked pertinent, insightful questions. I co-taught a self-defense class on campus when I was in college with a dude who did Toshindo. I was initially skeptical (long before we started the class), but after we worked out together some, it was pretty clear he knew his stuff. I actually underestimated him a bit (totes my bad, bias is a helluva drug), and assumed he had no ground game. He ended up catching me in a knee bar, and I was like "Well, damn. Won't make that mistake again." lol

[Hapkumdo]

Man, it's just an super smart idea, to go to martial arts places, which practice traditional arts, but pick out the ones where the teacher is also a BJJ black belt, so people online won't just crap all over them :)

[QMiller]

Thank you for highlighting the art I’ve practiced for 40+ years. You did us caring justice. Thank you!

[MegadethTillDeth]

Looked pretty cool. Anything that gets people into moving their bodies in a more combative way and being more in tune with themselves and surroundings is what I'm the biggest fan of.

[RedHerring]

Now I'm gonna live my childhood dreams: Having Ninja Skills, all while being surrounded by bad guys!

That looked like a lot of fun!

[hardhurt]

Lol look when the karate guy is under pressure he starts wrestling. Or are those karate techniques too?

[jaypod]

I trained with Bujinkan for a couple of years. The Sensei teaching there also had black belts from other martial arts previously. They were very humble and never boastful. This is a martial art you can spend the rest of your life practising. This video brings back some good memories.

[tennesseecopperhead]

Really good video. As a martial artist for over 40 years i enjoy watching these type videos. I think what people truly need to understand is that its not the style, its how you train it. I think that this video proves this.
