I would say choose whichever DVD teaches what you are wanting to learn.

 

[saru1968]

I agree


if you want to learn 'budo of life' get the budo of life DVD!

 

[DWeidman]

I would say choose whichever DVD teaches what you are wanting to learn.

None of them "teach" anything.

They are fliers... or training notes...

SKH and RVD have "instructional" DVDs - I recommend SKH if you are "learning" from them (and he has a great program to go along with it - for those who want to be a homeschool ninja).

As noted above: What do you want out of it...

[Shinkengata]

Yes DW, thank you for pointing out the devil in the details. What i actually meant was choose whichever DVD that is demonstrating what you want to see.

 

[saru1968]

Budo of Life...



if fact if your close enough come round and watch them all and then decide Budo of life!

I guess I'll be more specific. I am not looking for a training tool. Steven Hayes makes good training videos, though. "homeschool ninja"....hahaha.

I am looking for a video thats gonna make me do these things:

1. I want to go, "ooohhhhh, I get it" when I watch it.
2. I want to go "holy S**t that was cool"
3. a lot of info.
4. History
5. Not many weapons except maybe Tanto or small blades. throws, grappling, and takedowns are a favorite of mine but not necessary.


thats pretty much it. the first two are most important.

Get Ninja III The Domination - staring Sho Kosugi. HAHAHA:ultracool

All kidding aside... With all due respect, depending on your skill level, it might be better to go to a good dojo and train. IMHO, DVDs of techniques and such are really more beneficial to students who are advanced enough that they have a good understanding of proper movement and taijutsu. As someone stated, they are just fliers. I am not saying you are not experienced enough, I am just giving you some info, you can decide for yourself.

However, I would encourage reading good books... Such as "Ninpo:Wisdom for Life", "Understand? Good, Play!", etc.

I'm glad you are advanced enough to start worrying about history, because i myself am nowhere near the stage yet where i need to concern myself with historical details and such. Right now i could care less about the fine historical details of the Shinden Fudo ryu and i REALLY do not care which technique comes from which ryuha, just so long as i can use either the technique or it's principle on a fully active opponent. Yes i said active, not resistant. To me the difference between resistant and active is the difference between a child receiving corporal punishment and a guy trying to beat your skull in. One's resistant and one's active.

Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent like that. I have taijutsu of the mouth...it just kinda flows...:idunno:

 

[Shogun]

Well, based on the responses I am getting, Hatsumi's DVDs arent very good, and not worth watching....?

I am just looking for a cool video to watch that is hatsumi. I dont want to see "rad" movie ninja moves, or learn uber techniques from them. I just want to sit down and watch a movie.

now,
which one is good for that? all of them? seriously its not that hard?

 

[saru1968]

Ok


One more time

Budo of Life....

 

[DWeidman]

...I just want to sit down and watch a movie.

All of them.

Happy?
