This is what happens to an art when it is no longer used for life-death battlefield encounters on a regular basis. I am certain these techniques were not intended to be applied in this way. It's like playing the game of telephone over hundreds of years in that, after a while, what was originally transmitted is now something totally useless and unrecognizable.
It's " silly " to you because you don't know what you're looking at . Actually had a Bujinkan member pull this off with a telephone cord when someone tried to break into his home while he was still there .
I love these millennial mma band wagoners that fail to realize without arts such as Ninjitsu, Karate and Jiu-Jitsu, etc. There would be no MMA. Such people probably wouldn't last a day training with Hatsumi Sensai. 😂
Fascinating, truly. The ninja craze made lots of money for him and some notable others. As a teenager in the eighties, I too was mesmerized by stuff like this and other hokum. Thankfully, I ended up studying Tae Kwon Do from an old school instructor and never signed up for the ninja crap or the Dillman shit. I guess the weak-minded will always be susceptible to charlatans.
Lol. Not the TKD you’re talking about buddy. I agree with you mostly though. A lot of it is watered down now. Check out ITF style in South America. That is closer to what I learned and teach. Not exact, but close. Equal balance of hands and feet, grab and punch, sweeping, power emphasized over having a multitude of techniques. Very physical classes ending with hard sparring. Self defense techniques that were to to ROK soldiers under wartime conditions, ie, it had to work.
