+Mystninja001 I was actually thinking that a tinge as well. Like "Weeeelllll... he should be able to get things to back it up, given that he DID marry into the family, whereas despite that I can't comment on the others, 'from the family' sounds a lot more plausible than 'from "some guy" whose name I don't feel like divulging.'"
+Anthony Sforza lol yeah. good luck to them. i still think. fake or not. its a good thing for taijutsu. so many people are going the mma route. which is the most untraditional. but at the end of the day. people gotta pay the bills. its up the the individual to find the right path for them.
Mystninja001 That too, is also true. Though to be fair, do those MMA guys have to be so obnoxious? Jaja, seriously, every time I've been in an altercation where some insecure douchebag yells out their credentials, as an adult (Kids used to do it with Karate back in the day) it's been some MMA guy. Never Bunjikan, never Aikijujutsu... never even Jujutsu. I don't know... I think that for me personally, it speaks volumes as to the "path" they're setting and encouraging... if that makes sense.
In Australia the natives are called Aboriginal. Funny that some people have a cow about politically correct labels: and now people have to try avoid words. Me I don't give a fuck. I get called a white cunt by abbos every second day. We all bleed red. Get over racism people. Its 2015. Smell the flipping coffee.
Unrelated: I'm trying to find out about the eleven great ninja, but I can't find the reference to them in the book. If anyone could tell me the names of the eleven great ninja that would be great
@Douglas Meloche I dont remember pretty much anything about them except that i read a reference to them, probably in the banenshukai. but that was five years ago now
great vid antony....oh and thanks for clearing up the rubbish on the guy writing a book about shaolin and ninja ,thank you so much for your knowledge and time
Antony Cummins Cummins様 戸籍謄本(こせきとうほん)KOSEKITOUHON or his wife's family register can be found in the city hall from where her family is from. And if he is now the head of that family his name would be placed on the Kisei(*since 1986 I think non Japanese men can be put on their wifes father's Koseki as well). Which would mean that he would have taken his Japanese wife's family name. Whatever prefecture and city his wife's family is from all they need is to have their 印鑑i(inkan) and around 1000 yen to get it.
Antony, look at Aiki-jūjutsu, pay attention to the dates of its creation and when Ninja were around; there may be connection. A connected as in; what Martial Artists would be interested in (Not the fake Taijutsu of Masaaki Hatsumi); a possible fighting art used by the Ninja. We both research history yours is toward Ninja of Japan where as mine is toward the Hwarang of Korea both of which, I believe are connected (China). However; it seems you are becoming more about money and selling books then seeking truth anymore, but that's just my observation. I do understand that money is needed for what you are doing however there are better ways like donation or outside funding. Selling shit every video you make discredits you and your hard work.
christopher flynn Sir What are some titles of some good books on 韓国忍者 or Korean Ninja (I do not know their real name)? What time period did these Korean Ninja take place? Thank you for your time.
1banryukyu Hello Banryukyu The Hwarang of Korea existed long before the Ninja, They were kind of like the elite guards or knights of the Korean empire.The truth is the Ninja that everyone seeks are in fact Chinese not Japanese though the name "Ninja" is Japanese. So as far Korean "Ninja" there isn't any however if what you are asking is what are the"Ninja" type of characters from Korea then the answer that I have found to fit and make the most sense would be the Hwarang warriors. Keep in mind though; that throughout the history of Korea there have been many others. I hope that answers your question, I will be doing a video series breaking it all down very soon.This is a site you may find of interest regarding the Hwarang.natkd.com/legend_of_the_hwarung.htm
christopher flynn Sir Thank you for the info. I do not know that much about the Korean history before 1904-5. The Ryukyuan Kingdom or Okinawa pre 1st prefecture time period is what I am more into. Let us know when you post the video and thanks for the link.
