THE best video I have ever seen explaining the inner mechanism of the fighting spirit in a simplified and very accurate way. A true land mark achievement for on-line learning of the mind frame behind Martial Arts. Thank you.
As an NLP practitioner I found this quite remarkable as we use a technique called Anchoring to trigger certain responses when needed. I really find your films excellent. Thank You Sir.
WOW!! such insight! I've been studying the Bujinkan arts for the better part of 26 years and this is the most useful perspective I have ever known. thank you! Ευχαριστώ πολύ ! Gambatte!!
Great teachings from a great man...his sensei was the first non japanese who learnt ninpo from Soke, directly from the source...so expect only the best things from him no less...
As i approach 81 years I listen to this vidio and I feel as if it is a sign to help me learn and teach....Ari of Don't be a victim/Executive Self Defense
This is the same way my sensei taught me. I find it extremely useful in all kinds of situations where I need to regain emotional control. Thank you for your very clear explanation
Thank you for this! I am only an 8th Kyu and this is the first introduction for me that the kamae are more than mere stances. I'm sure that I will get more out of this with repeat viewings, just as I do with all of your incredible videos. I know that I, for one, would appreciate more. Again, thank you.
This is by far, the most useful (please, don't missunderstand me, all your videos are useful) video about the concept of kuji kiri I have ever watched. I hope you could uploaded more videos about this! Thank you so much! Great work 😋🥋👊
Excellent points that can be applied not only in a violent confrontation but also in life in general. You are excellent at what you do. Love all your uploads. Wish I was able to join in on your classes. Shalom!
Thank you so much. I really needed to learn this as a new technique for that all in one connection, as I have some social anxieties. Sometimes just breathing does not help. I will try the kamae, a simple kamae that binds, as you say.
I love this channel. As always highly useful and relevant information. We're all human and unfortunately subject to the human condition. One of those being heightened or elevated emotional states. Sometimes we find ourselves talking our way through these states. What an ingenious concept, to count our way through these states with subtle physical reinforcement. Very useful tools indeed. I love the wisdom this channel provides. Not only in a physical path but in ponderable paths as well. As always I love this instruction and thanks again for the amazing insight.
Absolutley amazing teaching. I love this art but find it hard sometimes to follow other practitioners because of the "showy" moves or theatrics. This is how I like to learn and train. Thank you for making this video and I hope all is well. It would be great to see this as an online course for reference and practice, especially during these times (pandemic).
Very Interesting , regards from 🇧🇷 This is the important thing that many times is neglected in some arts, spiritual and psychological preparation, in these details they carry many powerful effects for effectiveness and prosperity in their diverse intentions. Oss 🙏🏻✨
So unfortunate that you never explained this like that when I was training in your dojo. now I understand, 15 years too late.. but perhaps one day I will return
@@AkbanOrg It has been written that of all the guards with the longsword, the middle is superior. Is it fair to say that absent specific circumstances, that there is one superior posture to greet an attacker in an empty hand one on one scenario?
@@AkbanOrg The level of analysis in just 12,5min relates issues from many sciences, philosophy and matial arts. Mind opening direct messaging. In my humble opinion is the most important video I have seen so far in martial arts.Thanks again..!
Master Sheriff - have you ever considered compiling some of this (love the new footage style) into a DVD series? I would definitely purchase such an amazing ressource. I find the Akban wiki a bit confusing to navigate sometimes. Love your work!
Since this is a lot of material, it takes time to compile it all, but the answer is yes, I am on my way to compile all the material and make it downloadable.
@paledawn363 we tried to make an online system working and did not succeed because the quality and reliability of the brick and mortar dojo cannot be replicated
shalom- yes important info here. I all ready used one movement when getting away from a highschool student who wanted to fight me while i was a sub teacher.........
Many people are interested in your lessons. But they don't understand your language. Lay out the full text of the video in the description. So that everyone can translate and understand.
Hi, Sensei Sheriff........99% of people don't know that the Kuji-in comes from Tantric Buddhism and IS powerful....They think it's stupid hand movements, not realizing subtle energy movements behind the hand posturing. Be well Mishpoha.......Hashem bless Stefos
I have a question and its out of pure,and honest curiosity ...Why isnt this type of training taught or spoken the same way you did here when a new student begins? I feel this emotional training would help beginners evolve much more correctly in thier training. Plus be consistent with attendance and at-home training. (Please,take no offence at my question. It is not meant to do harm just curious)
i as learn to take a punch then use to fire even harder one do punch never learn to take punch his think is knock fool out when find out they can knock you out then start get real this no mma this ninjutsu combat art it was use in 1500 for war and spying thumb up
IT IS A GREAT ERROR to teach Kuji Kiri to a soldier, since a soldier does NOT have a SPIRITUAL GROWTH like a NINPO practitioner, a soldier is just a person trained to kill whose morale can be bought with money. Even the ancient Shinobis had a very high loyalty code BECAUSE they had a spiritual growth, because of this they preferred to die rather than betray their clan. The Kuji Kiri is taught to advanced levels of practitioners of NINPO, valuing the sensei BEFORE teaching it the spiritual growth of the pupil to know IF IT WILL USE THIS knowledge CORRECTLY, a soldier with this knowledge can become a mercenary and use the Kuji Kiri in a negative way, because it continues "tied" to material questions. To teach Kuji Kiri to a soldier would be like prostituting a knowledge reserved for years in secret (for the level of power that can grant to the individual), the work of a soldier is stressful and they are trained to develop it, but they want to be stressed, with adrenaline and all that implies to develop it then they work as dance choreographers. The point is that Kuji Kiri is not taught to ordinary people trained only to kill. It teaches people who have a spiritual growth and who will not prostitute the knowledge they have in exchange for money. Kuji Kiri is not an anti-stress medicine nor is it a breathing exercise to insinuate the opposite. It shows a great ignorance of what it really is and how dangerous it is for a person to use it without proper preparation.
@Salomón You seem to have missed the point of the entire video. They are NOT teaching Kuji Kiri, as you understand it. There is very little to do with Spirituality here. I dont speak for AKBAN, but in my opninion, this has more to do with a scientific way to anchor emotions and mindsets through bodily actions. The hand seals are simply a physical symbolic representation of a state of being (emotional state, mindset, awareness), which can be "activated" (so to speak) through repetition. This is very similar to classical psychology.
@Salomon Because i do R E A L kuji-kiri i can tell you that you are wrong.The guys in AKBAN they are explain in their video the western point of view which means psychological trigger points for the brain.Thus what they do it brings them when they do it in a certain desired brain state e.x relaxation. So they are right in their video. In reality so we cut the crap from people who thing they know kuji-kiri and just bla bla over the internet,kuji-kiri as you call it is a way to commune with demonic spirits and in general it has to do with state of being cuz it uses kanji plus certain prayers and certain cuts to the astral plane. With Kuji you can summon things and even play with the weather and the mind of your opponents.But in the end your energy and your soul will have ties with the demonic infernal world. The only person who told the truth about kuji-kiri is Choson-Ninja in one of his videos here in youtube.Choson is real deal. So my friend Solomon what you are calling spiritual growth and all that fairytales they teach you or you heard in various ninpo schools are all plain BS.Spiritual growth it has to do with your soul which is a fragment from Gods Breath thus it has to do with God and your relationship to Him. IF you ever find a real teacher of kuji-kiri and start practicing it be sure that your soul will be tied with demonic forces. Why do you think my name is the Last Shinobi? It isn't for fun... I dont belong to Genbukan nor Bujikan nor Akban nor any organization known to public out there... I wish you the best.
