Learn Ninjutsu – Expanding the Number of Techniques You “Own” by Using the Secret of the Kihon Happo
Are you serious about mastering the martial art of “enduring against all odds” – do you want to learn ninjutsu – the art of the Ninja?
To learn ninjutsu is to go beyond the conventional idea of martial arts. What many see – including students and teachers within the art today – is merely one aspect of a system of living life fully – of recreating yourself to realize your fullest potential. And this system has been producing real results for its practitioners for well over 900 years!
One of the qualities that you must develop, not just for effective self defense, but for producing results in every facet of your life, is that of “strategic thinking.” What that means is that you must go from being at the mercy of the automatic, habitual response way of thinking and acting that was developed as a child, to the mature, observational, and problem-solving mindset that…
Sees what is going on, behind and beyond the outward actions…
…recognizes how that fits into a bigger picture, or is part of a grander goal/result, and…
…realizes the best course of action which will produce the results needed.
This is a lesson inherent in the Ninja’s kihon happo. But, hidden within this apparently fixed set of basic techniques, is a method for discovering more than just how to block, punch, kick, and throw an opponent across a dojo floor.
Without going into the specific models that most students are familiar with, this article will focus on the lesson – not what the lesson looks like. So, what I’m going to do is to outline a way to turn 1 simple technique example into much more. In fact…
…what I’m about to give you should keep you busy for a long time to come, and allow you to realize that your teacher only had to teach you one technique for each principle to be learned – rather than the hundreds that everyone seems to be bent on collecting.
So, lets begin with a simple model – one where you are defending against a right punch to the face from your attacker. For the purposes of this article, we’ll assume that the base model has the attacker throwing what many consider to be a “traditional” lunging, straight punch.
And the model we’ll use is one where we pull back and away from his attack at a 45 degree angle, inside the attack, to catch his balance, and then counter attack with an omote shuto, palm-up knifehand strike to the side of his neck.
So, let’s take the lesson of “creating variations” from the kihon happo and, after we get the basic model, let’s double our technique by training it against a left punch. Then, in whatever order you want, you can…
- Practice by going outside the attack – left and right. Now we have 4 techniques.
- Do this with your attacker throwing a straight kick instead. Now we have how many? Right… 8.
- Replace the kick with a stomach punch. How many now?
- Now defend against a hook punch.
- How about a knife stab or a swinging strike from a club or hanbo (“half-staff”)?
Get the idea?
By my count, my teacher’s single technique model is now 24 techniques!
And, believe it or not, each attack change will create different challenges that can only be answered by letting go of the limiting thinking of the beginner focused on step-by-step mechanics – and thinking strategically about distance, timing, and the results you’re trying to create.
And, that’s just from changing the attacks. What would happen if you changed the way you…
- Receive the strike, grab, or kick?
- Break his balance?
- Take up kamae at the beginning, middle, and end of the foray?
- Control his perceptions? Or…
- Choose different strikes or other skills to counter-attack?
Are you serious about mastering the art of ninjutsu – about having the power, confidence, and control to handle any attacker – any situation?
