Thanks for your feedback. Yeah part of what’s interesting to Dennis story is that a couple of years ago he had an injury that really restricted his movement, which really limited his ‘Kamae’. However he kept on training during this period and found that this developed his ’Taijutsu’ to the point you are seeing in this video. Yeah of course he would most likely move differently in a real fight, this is training. The subtleties of what Hatsumi is doing are often lost when we train too fast and too rigid. Dennis is training in the way that he was taught by Hatsumi In terms of the uke, I don’t fully understand, they are both moving the way they are dictated by Dennis’ movement. Hope that helps explain what is being shown in the video

@@active-balance Thanks. I train in Bujinkan as well. I've been to Japan too...trained with the Shihan, etc... Now that you're saying he has a serious injury that restricts his movement that explains a lot. Clearly, I wasn't factoring that into my observation. It was just really off to my eyes. Bear in mind I've seen a Bujinkan practitioner in a wheelchair with severely compromised movement that I could never say moves wrong. I'm probably nitpicking. I'm sorry. Thank you for your timely response and I'm sorry he was injured and I wish him all the best.

He its a back/ hip spine injury .He only moves shoulders and arms .

Thanks for your feedback. This is training
