You can find online how to make the energy food balls Ninja ate to keep going for a long time.

I was obsessed with martial arts and ninjas in my youth (I'm 44 now). I trained in a few martial arts too. There's one reported ninja training technique I became enamoured with called "the ear that sees". This basically teaches you to not only be more aware of the sounds around you than you normally would be but also which direction a sound is coming from and how close the source of that sound is to you. Once you can accurately gauge which direction a sound is coming from (easy) and how close it is you (hard) you now essentially have eyes in the back of your head. Exercise one: Wherever you are now, stop and be quiet and think about what you can hear. Really, _really_ focus on what you can hear, _everything_ that you can hear, loud, quiet, close, far away focus on all of it, focus on every sound that you can hear and how loud/quiet the sound is, what is making that sound, what is causing it etc. Repeat this often. Exercise two: When you're out in public focus on things like cars, people talking, peoples footsteps that are coming toward you and start estimating how many seconds it's going to take for those cars/people to come close to you or pass you. The more you do this the more accurate you'll be. When you're able to think "that car is going to pass me in 3,2,1 there it is" or "that person is going to walk past me......now" and be right about it then you've mastered the technique and it's going to be very hard for anyone to sneak up on you.

I’ve trained under a student of Matsaki Hatsume, it was a lot of fun! But most of the martial arts were based around, “hit them in a vulnerable spot, then get the hell out.” If you’re fighting, you’ve been discovered, and that is not the goal. Really saddened a lot of students that they didn’t get to turn into Ryu from Ninja Gaiden.

Finally somebody who gets it! Ninjutsu is not and was never a martial art but a set of particular skills including but not limited to strategy, intelligence gathering, and certain body skills etc. Awesome presentation, and explanation of what is and what is not Ninjutsu. As well as how we can learn from these skills and employ them in our everyday life. Also I must mention awesome demo of your physical Ninja skills. Brilliant, brilliant work

This is well researched. I'm impressed. I too have searched far and wide for anything on samurai physical training, since they were demigods of badassery. There's very little on their PT, which made me think that they must have had a similar perspective to Spartans on how to condition themselves. But there are a few things I found useful. Some schools of Kenjutsu emphasize high volume training with over-weighted wooden swords to build endurance, and training on wooden targets, reminiscent of a Roman legionary. They also had schools of combat swimming, and the Japanese mace (kanabo) was reputed to involve a lot of strength in its use. A samurai - who's been running, marching, swimming (in a suit of armor), mounting and riding horses, shooting heavy warbows and swinging overweighted wooden weapons on targets for years - would be one tough dude. As to how to train like a ninja, I think one obvious way is to train your speech and body language, study other people, finally apply it to adopting alternate "personas" day to day. If you can adopt alternate speech, body language, fashion, even fake expertise, you'd be all set to escape pursuit, or infiltrate and stake out an organization. Combine with hard E&E skills (parkour, running fast, "stepping' your escape route, breaking handcuffs) in case you get found out and don't want to star in a cartel snuff film.

Important thing: Being a Ninja was a profession and Samurai a social standing. And obviously, all ninjas weren't Samurai. Also maybe consider contacting Metatron, I'm sure he would be delighted to help. Great video btw, happy to see someone mention Anthony Cumming's books.

I always thought ninjas wore orange jumpsuits

I trained in the Bujinkan for 5 years and did a reasonable amount of research outside of class. I have to say this is a pretty well rounded, accurate description of the skills and traits that would have been developed. One odd component however was the ability to reach full speed & power without warming up, stretching and 'preparing' but without risking injury. I do not know how this was accomplished - you're up, @TheBioneer !

You're channel is a like a drug to me: I can't seem to get enough of it. Awesome channel!

I’ve been waiting so long for this, and it was well worth the wait

Yo, dont give up with youtube, I watched your older videos and they are funny, motivating and educational. I just have the feeling you are above the rest of others. good luck

Thank you, always appreciate the hard-work and all the detail that you put into your videos!

Well done, a well researched and professionally presented mini doc. I happen to be a ninja myself so it's good to hear some sense spoken about us for a change 😉 Also well done with your own training, excellent.

This guy is the coolest and full of knowledge 😎

Thanks for putting this interesting material together my menn!

Nice vid. When I lived in japan the skills I learned really helped me in my day to day life. But i was trained in America w/ some Vets. Please keep making your vids Bro. take care

A really great video! Your work is very much appreciated. I'd like to see more about ninja stuff. Your channel is a treasure. Thanks a lot for your content and your work, you really inspire me to work out more. Mind and body. Keep the good work going. PS: the more I watch your videos, the more the idea of training in your garden one day grows in my mind, I just noticed 😁🙏

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. Unique ideas and training methods are a breath of fresh air in a fitness genre on KZfaq where most content creators are centered around drama. Keep up the great work and I pass along your videos to anyone I know that might also enjoy them. 💪🏻

Well researched in an academic and theoretic way. That's almost everything one could find being outside of the remaining lineages. There is one thing however that many people seem to misunderstand about martial arts in Ninjutsu (and yes, it was called that, even though the term 'Ninja' was barely in use): different clans or groups specialized in different occupations. Some of them even strived for fighting expertise. The overall training most of them received consisted of many different techniques from various fighting styles and schools. Ninja were mostly normal citizens, craftsmen, farmers and Merchants - and although some emerged from the ranks of Samurai nobility, most did not. Nonetheless did they learn and train in many styles beyond Kenjutsu and Jiujitsu. Assimilating everything that was useful and fitted the overall fighting philosophy (from chinese styles through greek wrestling knowledge up to refined western fist fighting), the hand-to-hand combat part of Shinobi training became one of the first mixed martial arts ever (besides greek pankration and similar mix-ups). Where it was indeed possible to code i.e. infiltration tactics with poetic names (for example "the art of rain in the village"), you had to show hand-to-hand combat Techniques somehow. Doing so by Sketches and drawings would have been uncodable. So there were barely any handbooks and scrolls on that of course. Every Clan (often consisting of entire farm villages or trader families including servants and far relatives) handed down their own individual fighting style from master to student through almost nothing else but training.

so much work for this video but worth every second, great video thank you!

I find all your videos so informational and awesome

Great job on your video. Thank you for making this content.

Great video, thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Good research. And thanks for taking the extra time to record it all on 8 mm film.

Awesome video as always mate. I'm just making my way thru your book too. Keep up the good work!!

Very well done video The Bioneer. Indeed all the information goes along what we know about Shinobi No Mono. As for myself, I believe that ancient teachings and practices were used (like the ones from Yamabushi) to base an holistic kind of men that later would be used in spying and Samurai guerrila warfare. So, I believe that even if there are no more real need for Ninja we can still apply the ancient basilar principles and practices which made such kind of spiritually strong men. As a great Ninja admirer I have been learning, adapting and practicing the more spiritual self-strenghtening tools of Yamabushi (leaving the historical time and space daimio objective/mission dependent role to a more cricumstances independent self sufficient life orienting inclination). Physical and spiritual life long developments over mundane material perenial achievements.

I really like your videos. They are very educational, informative and entertaining so great job. Also how about you a video about movement training. Movement training varies a bit from practitioner to practitioner but tries to create a human being who is very skilled and functional with his natural movement patterns.

All is good. Really great job with this one!

Very well done. I've been waiting patiently for a new upload and so delighted to have it. Plus, it's one of the most interesting subjects. I look forward to reading your post on the website. P.s., for whatever reason, I cannot leave comments or questions on it. Not sure if that's an issue for you or just me. You sound better. I hope everyone is doing well and all are happy. I hope things continue to go well for you. Have a good evening.

All the little dreams and wishes I secretly had as a child but tried to forget about them because they weren't "practical" in life you research apply and teach, you're amazing ^__^

Amazing insight as usual! Thanks for the content and as always, I life a like :)

Amazing video! Keep the work going!

"Ninjas don't exist".....is exactly what they want you to think 💪

love you work keep them coming :)

am i the only person who saw “shinobi” and immediately thought of Naruto?-

AMAZING!! One of my favorites pf yours. Perfect for my journey to become a bounty hunter/private investigator :)

Good Batman reference. That's why he's always been my favorite. Really interesting that they could walk 300 miles. People don't realize the mental toughness it took to be a ninja. They were not barbarians, but rather very intelligent and savy. Very cool that they may have been former monks that loved nature. I was surprised not to see the blinding egg mentioned. The one that was threw at eyes of enemies. 🦊👍

Hey there, Brother! Great content as always! Could you tell me the width of the rope you use for your climbing training? Thanks for you work and keep it going! Success and cheers!

This is probably the most underrated channel on KZfaq. Your video on isometrics helped me break through my plateau. I wish you could do a video on neck strength and workout while emphasizing on the reinforcement to it provides to accidents like whiplashes.

Very cool. Appreciate the depth of research. Thanks you :)

Thanks for this wonderful video

Wow..... I was already a giant BIONEER channel super fan since 2019 .... & during my own research I found this to be the best relevant video .. and I see the content creator ... And who else is it than my brotha from another dojo 😎.... Ofcourse.

Ninja (closer to the chinese pronunciation) : one who endures Shinobi (japanese pronunciation): to steal away

Another great video. Thank you

Been a ninja 🥷 fan since the 80’s this was epic 🤜🤛🙏

Great video dude.

Really wonderful video. Thank you so much for using all that awesome kung fu footage! What movie are they from? I feel the jump height could be true and very accurate. As I understand it, at least one clan had a connection with Taoist mystics (who, we know now are pioneer biohackers!) and learned how to unlock the superhuman potential. That and they are smaller people. With the right run-up and bounce, I think a lot of athletes can jump that high easy. Peazy

good video, nicely presented and makes a good argument

Great work! Ninja culture is always on my mind

Cool. I've been learning to be a ninja. Your videos have helped

Well done sir!

Fascinating, I will be following...

i would love to see a collab with gaijin goombah on the subject of ninja training. i havnt seen anyone else as knowledgeable on youtube regarding ninja

Another Master Piece Sir! 😎👊

Loved this video brother! Who knew even ninjas did wim hof.

The man fighting Jackie Chan at 3:00 is Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a former world champion kick-boxer. I once attended a kick-boxing seminar by him when he visited our dojang some years back.

I'm excited to see all the topics you mentioned to be covered, the life of bruce lee and even ethical hacking! And of course more about Ninjas or Shinobis.

Im going to start learning gymnastics and pole vaulting. Thanks

When are you planning on posting the Nightwing workout that you announced when you installed your pullup bar at the house?

I saw a dude at an intersection in Canada clad in concealing ninja gear with sword yesterday! I'm glad to have one more day of training. >¤

I loved it..I really really loved it...love from India

this video is explained perfectly you know? However, could you tell me if the ninja's jumping ability influenced their hand-to-hand combat skills

2:45 Modern Kendo is a only a little game if you compare it to true Kenjutsu.

great video

Also Kobudo may have been part of their training? Although this might be the same as kenjutsu ?

Great video ;)

Finally! Such efficiency in this educational video. To happy I found this. Thanks for cutting through the pop culture distortion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍😎💥🦅👍 ☠️. 🦅 🎸 Tommy 🦅Hawk wuz here. 🎸 ☠️ 🔪⚔️🗡. ☠️

So I am incorporating shinobi training because I need more endurance to hike, run, and agility to travel further distances. Also their stealth like approach will help me to do scavenge hunts for my wildlife photography.

Hello , I just subbed . Would you please tell me the name of the game " you made it this far " in this video ?

You should talk with Sensei Peter Brown (Shinobi Kai) in Brighton. There will be very few if any that have his knowledge of broader aspects of Ninjutsu in the UK.

Don't forget Iron Fist. calculated knuckle breaks to strengthen striking power to fatal levels. Video at 11:04 seems to be a foot based version of the same principle.

Abraham Maslow - Self Actualization George Leonard - Mastery Love your work Sir :) By for now!

Great vid

In you training videos,where do you get these kind of books?

@The Bionere can you tell us where to purchase those books ? All of them please

What is that work out took your using at 9:10 that balancing wooden tool

Excelente!!!

Anthony Cummins stirred up a lot of controversy. I myself, and a few others started to feel a bit iffy about his work when he released his 2017 New Years statement video. He admitted that he doesn’t speak or read Japanese, inherently claimed that it’s okay that he doesn’t speak or read the ancient writings because he can still ‘assume’ what’s the intended message and relay it back to us if he feels that it’s relevant enough. I even saw a few people bashing him for doing a cut test on an ‘ancient sword’. Skeptics said that it was either a fake sword or he just didn’t really have much respect for that antique in particular. He’s still a scholar no doubt and I’ve haven’t completely read the Book of Ninja, but I do still enjoy book reviews and shared cliff notes. There’s a KZfaqr who’s name is TheLateScootBaio who himself has a passion for ‘ninjas’ and does other book and channel reviews. I think his page is still up, I’ll be back to comment names of other “ninjitsu books” if you’re interested.

Nice vid : D

The real ninjutsu is derived from Chinese ninjutsu 忍術, also known as hermit 隐術 (At that time, it was called 五行遁術 in China). Ninjutsu originated from the five elements (五行術) of the Han Dynasty in China and later spread to Japan. "《五遁忍术》Five Eun Ninjutsu" originated from China The fascinating five-element escape technique is derived from ancient Chinese military books, similar to the scenes often seen in movies that suddenly disappear in the smoke Like karate, judo, Shaolin Temple boxing and other martial arts, ninjutsu is a characteristic martial art gradually developed after it was introduced to Japan from ancient Chinese martial arts. The authoritative ninjutsu book "《萬川集海》Wan Chuan Ji Hai" points out: The root of ninjutsu thought comes from Jiang Taigong Lu Wang during the Yin and Zhou Dynasties of China. It was he who first proposed the concept of ninjutsu and wrote it in the masterpiece "《六韬》Six Secret Teachings". Later, the Chinese Sun Wu, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin successively improved the theory of ninjutsu. Especially Sun Wu's "《孫子兵法》The Art of War" is highly respected by the ninja class. At this time, ninjutsu basically formed a rudiment consisting of strategy, formation, yin and yang, and technique. As ninjutsu spread to Japan, ninjas also appeared and developed in Japan. * Ancient ninja organization Iga伊賀 and Kahe甲賀. Most of them were Chinese immigrants who settled in ancient Japan. These contents also recorded in Chinese history.

Great Work! I remember when i was a kid i wanted to be a 🗣Ninja, deadlest Killer ever.. ✌🏾

Hey man, love your videos! This one peaked my interest due to studying classical japanese martial arts and saw that you have a book by Dr Kacem Zoughari, have you ever trained at all or met Kacem?

I think you did fantastic

I want to know what you know about the league of assassins. Can you do a video on them? I want to join

THE ANIMATED CLIP AT THE END. Passing the scroll thing while roof jumping. Anyone know where this is from?

The way you explain ninjas sound like how Hunters from Bloodborne are detailed

What’s the name of the song that is is used in the background of the video?

Modern guerrilla warfare is full of examples like this. VC infiltrators were referred to as sappers. The US OSS and British SOE sent saboteurs behind enemy lines to disrupt command posts and supply lines, lead partisan forces and generally cause disrupting chaos and fear among the enemy. These skills are very useful as force multipliers. Interested in the ethical hacking video. Keep up the great work

Where did you get the books?? And what are their titles

I've read/heard that myth of the "ninja outfit" -- the all-black, masked pajamas -- sources from kabuki theater. On stage, costumes and puppets were brightly-colored, to be visible and recognizable with stage lighting; the puppeteer, on the other hand, wore all-black and face-covering mask, to be "invisible" compared to the bright kabuki costumes and puppets. In some plays, though, the puppeteer isn't a puppeteer, it's a "ninja assassin" dressed as a puppeteer so the audience would ignore him until it was time to "strike from the shadows". It's a plausible explanation that the stereotype took hold, and thus the all-black, masked outfit became part of ninja folklore. Real ninjas probably didn't wear black. Dark blues (to blend in with night), grays (to blend in with shadows and stone, esp. in rain), and greens (forests and foliage) are more likely what real ninjas wore, just like modern camouflage. But the general goal was to be more of a "gray man", which means among people they wore what regular people wore, got lost in the crowd, and avoided doing anything noticeable or memorable. As to swords, samurai culture placed much emphasis on katanas as almost holy objects. Using one as a step-stool would have been insulting, though a ninja might not care so much. A "ninja sword" was more of a multi-use tool than a weapon (though it's a decent weapon, too). Also, good steel was hard to get in feudal Japan -- it had to be extracted from trace ores in the sand -- therefore it makes sense that ninja swords might have been made of cheaper, less-refined metal. A straight sword also makes a better step-stool, conceals as a walking stick if the tsuba (hand guard) is removed, and the straight scabbard can double as a blow-gun. Fascinating stuff.

NICE 👍🏽 orientation 🎉❤

You should do a video based on Unbreakable’s David Dunn

The Ninja hand to hand combat is far more ancient (some say primitive) than "modern" codifications like Aikido, Jiu-Jutsu and Karate. The "Taijutsu" art take the place of Jiu-Jitsu or Aikido, is a very basic to take off people with full body contact. The "Atemi-Jutsu" ia a basic way to take down oponents with hits. In both we also can apply some basic combat strategies described in "Ma Ai" (positioning) and "Tai Sabaki" (movement paths). The advantage I see is that this styles contain less "fuss" and are more based in principles than some exhaustive set of techniques, like modern Jet Kune Do does.

Where could I find that exact book at ? Because I’m training

Que bueno que mencionaste a koga

Are there links to the books?

Being highly prepared to handle any situation is better than being caught off guard.

Make a video about SHTF preparedness...

When can we expect to see Batman training part 2 which should be the mental training. Excellent video by the way.

In the80s growing up there were quite a number of Ninja movies
