I'm planning on saving as much as I can to try to get to Michigan in November and it's looking optimistic right now

Many samurai walked about quite on their own. Yasuke, likely not the case. Any samurai with a considerable koku would have likely had assistants of some sort as well.

Even though I believe this existence is hell. I read something a while back, from an ancient India Sanskrit that gave me hope. It goes something like this: “If you knew what is in store for you after this life - you would never be unhappy again - no matter what”. Maybe there is something good or wonderful, so unexpected that we can’t possibly imagine or comprehend as lowly human beings - after we leave this world.

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that this existence - Earth - is a hell planet. I’ve been a spiritual seeker all of my life, exploring different religions, spiritual beliefs etc.,had/have many expensive toys, material things, went into a helping profession for a couple of decades, never really satisfied (although the helping profession, along with rescuing unwanted animals was more fulfilling than anything material in existence, and after a long journey I have come to this conclusion. Seeing what goes on in the world and how miserable so many people’s lives are through no fault of their own, the never ending suffering, man’s cruelty to each other and innocent animals, - it causes me so much depression and pain - because I know how much people and animals are suffering. I am convinced this is hell. Even as a child - when I had every reason to be happy, I never could as I thought “as long as one person or animal on this planet is suffering, there can be no happiness”. I always have this inner feeling of dread and angst and I really want out of here at this point and have often wanted to end my life but the fear that I could end up back here or somewhere worse makes me hesitate. Just my luck my consciousness would end up in an empty black void. Is there any escape from the misery ?

Thank you!

Musashi said that he beat men with more skill, speed and timing. Strategy is the way.

I wanna say am a big fan, I own a long list of your books all four of the ninja manuals and other books of yours. I also want to say thank you for your hard work and determination being us this ancient wisdom and knowledge I very much appreciate it. I know it took soul you put into work, you’re a very rare gem.

is it hell, or is it just the spoiled side of the delicious fruit?

time immemorial

This opens you up completely. The blade is too short for this, for a longer blade the cut makes no sense. It's just useless...

cool video

Asian countries claiming cultural origin are just hilarious. Every country has a beef with each other they can't accept it. China claimed Kimchi's origin, South Korea claimed Samurai, Shinobi Katana culture, and sports like Judo as their origin. Relax, we're all from China anyway. Japan is on an island isolated from you guys that we developed and updated things our way. The origin of Ninja? Who cares where they came from, Its a spy. Every historical war has spys playing a role. We call it shinobi thats it. Besides, they werent even called ninja until the 1950s. Just watch, in a couple years, they gonna say Manga, anime was our culture first 🤣

When you say we have to start looking at these outdated practices, who's we. Only a Ryuha can change its practices. Which Ryu do you belong to? Seiza no Bu is a good example of a valid reason for the existence and practice of a set of waza that isn't for combat use but as a development process. I will go back to the point I have made in the past. I don't think you are qualified to comment on this topic& that your motivation in this matter is financial.

These videos are excellent! I bought this book, it's great. In fact I have seven of your books now. I love everything that I'm reading, keep up the great work Antony! I also think that what you are doing with Natori Ryu is fantastic! Keep tracking down the old scrolls for us. Even the book, The Lost Samurai School, Secrets of Mubyoshi Ryu is amazing. There are so many wow moments.. through all of these books!

it's kinda funny how many of these things I was already doing without really associating them with my ninja interests, just as part of how I live my life.

Just play Ghosts of Tsushima. Too similar

You definitely did the right thing in saying how you see it. That was the beginning of your lifeworks in helping Japan revive and restore it’s cultural wisdom & teachings. 🍻

I agree with you look around you everything you Everything you see, whether it is exposed to heat to be ready or uses heat, and even chemical reactions in the human body, is a process of combustion. I am a Muslim and I found this in the Qur’an, not the known version, but the version hidden among the words.

I absolutely loved it! I am rewatching right now.

Money was introduced so we fight eachother and kill eachother

Black Samurai and let be unreasonably technical about A GAME. Where you this technical about Ghost of Tsushima? NOT

Mas Oyama who founded Kyokushin (meaning ultra pure) Karate was from Korea and studied Chinese martial arts at the age of 9. The name Karate means "The Way of the Empty Hands" but used to be called "The Way of the Chinese (Tang) Hands".

nice bullshit

Go for Tenshin Shoden Katori shinto Ryu ( the risuke otake style not ushiro sugino). I'm practicing for 3 years. I heavily suggest you to challenge this school (include me despite I'm a begginer).

I think we need to start with a good definition of "Half Swording". Half swording according to those in the HEMA comunity is to grab the blade and usually using it to thrust between the plates of armour. So in many cases the sword becomes like a spear. Half swording is also good in close combat where one needs to use it in a confined space, or sometimes to block and move into a grappling range and even hitting with the pommel/guard with both hands on the blade. This is what I have seen when I have participated in medieval sword lessons and spoken to experts on the subject. From what is posted in your video I would say that apart from one image at 2.06 (Source Needed) these are nothing like half swording unless of course we are going to go with any use of the hand on a sword is half swording in this context. Also of course we have to be careful with images as we do not know if they are accurate and made by warriors who knew those techniques. Be interesting though to see the use of the Japanese sword in half sword as personally I cannot see why it would not be used. PS see Tachi Uchi from page 191 of Hatsumi's Japanese Sword Fighting book. There he has his hand supporting the blade to cut.

I will be there. Buy tix soon. Thank you

Yes! Half swording is a thing! But it is only revealed to people who join a dojo and train.

Would you call Toranagas' spy in Ajiro a Yonin due to his skills? I would think so.

I think , Doron Navon - The First Non-Japanese Bujinkan Shihan Fascinating video. I enjoyed!

You are funny

4:23 bottom of a sandal? Like the part that is on the ground? Wouldnt the sword get dirty with all that could be left on sandal from roads?

Her not killing the women is actually one of the AC creeds.. Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent

I agree wholeheartedly that the interest in the Samurai, and the Ninja is waining. It was not like it was in the 1980s. As someone trying to run a martial arts school teaching these arts, I have seen a huge downturn in students. Yet is it is a shame as people are missing so much. Unfortunately the modern organisations such as the Bujinkan have not helped at all.

Naaah no thank u im not gay, im not gay, im not gay

ええ、このゲームは最悪の出来です。まず、戦国時代の農民は侍相手に立って頭を下げない。地面に両膝付いて土下座に近い形で頭を下げる。建物も玄関が何故か地面から離れている。この時代の建物は玄関は土の地面が多いです。高床式の玄関は戦国時代の日本ではありません。本当に日本に来て何を参考にしたのか分からないぐらい低レベルな出来です。

It's a game ..

Perhaps this video gets it partially correct. Perhaps hell is in fact a cycle of reincarnations. Perhaps our past sinful lives dictate how much we are to suffer in this life. But perhaps the way out of this cycle is not to become perfect, but to accept what Jesus did for us on the cross. Perhaps Jesus is the only way out of the cycle of reincarnation called “hell”

Looks pretty solid but try to keep the theme I guess. Never played the game but looks 👍. Could be worse. I have played way worse “ historical “ games that just sucked

this game couldbe been contender for game of the year. Elon Musk was right, DEI kills art

I’d love for you to do a historical evaluation of Ghost Of Tsushima I think you’d find it interesting and so would we.

В бою соперник не поддаётся и не застывает в ожидании.

I just sent an email to a group in Griffith Park. They discourage new members in a way as if it's an exclusive club. We'll see

please research "甲野善紀" He told how to manage 刀　in realistic way.He told about 棒術,too.

You either can fight it you can't. Martial arts don't make you a fighter

The girl is a servant that's why Naoe chose to spare her, she is only taking out the guards, not the servants

I think this is after nobunaga's death? But I am not too sure about it tho

私もはじめは町の様子は良く描けてると思ったんですが、何度も見ているうちに沢山の「？」が浮かんできました。見知らぬデザインの唐傘、民家の縁側に木製の階段、数え始めると切りがない。 蔵に入りきらず、路上に大量に無造作に食べ物が転がっていて「生活が苦しい」？そもそも誰も着物を着ているように見えない。股引はまだ普及してないはず。 Ghost of Tsushimaでは一切突っ込む気は無かったのに。
