How is it possible to remember all the technics in ninjitsu?

Question

i was wacthing some videos from choson ninja on youtube and thiers like 30 ways to disarm a knife you do you remember all thows or are you supposed to pick a couple to master or is it years of training makes it so you use the right one at the right time. its all confusing

Answer 1

I would imagine it is pretty tough to remember, but sufficient training in any martial art and eventually it should become reflexive. I am not sure what art choson ninja practices. I doubt whether it is ninjutsu and he certainly is not a ninja (although he appears to be pretty accomplished at what he does).

To be a ninja you'd need a time machine to travel back to medieval japan and be from Iga or Koga. There appears to be a number of people on this forum that claim to practice ninjutsu, but however good they are at what they do - they are not ninja. The art of the shinobi was never codified. Even back in middle age Japan, the ninja were not like Hollywood has made them today. However, it is a good way to promote whatever art that you do. But even the concept that ninja were experts at dozens of different arts is ridiculous. Some were assassins, some were military intelligence experts, spies and even propagandists. Part of their skill was to create the mystique that has carried on even to modern times. Truth is they, like the Knights of the Round Table and Robin Hood, are long gone. Just read the history books.

Answer 2

You get the feel for the techniques and how they're done. After practicing the techniques thousands of time you won't even have to think about doing them because they'll just be reflex and muscle memory at that point. You may not remember ALL of the techniques, but you will remember the concept.

Also, Choson Ninja teaches what he calls Nintaijutsu. I think he teaches more of a mixture of Korean arts. I think he is a great teacher, but he doesn't teach true Ninjutsu.

Answer 3

There is an old teaching principle that states:

The more sh*t you throw at the side of the barn, the more will stick.

Answer 4

By practacing the techniques over and over until they become instinctive.

As for bujinkan Ninja, i don't know how he can remember them all, not to mention the other 7 styles he trains, when he belives that a yellow belt in TKD has to register his hands as lethal weapons in Florida.

Answer 5

that is not ninjutsu. he's korean, and he's from korea, and his teacher is a korean, from korea.

his techniques are usually pretty good, but more like hapkido than ninjutsu.

he remembers them all...sure it's possible.

the idea is to absorb what you can.

Answer 6

It's almost harder to learn the Japanese language itself.
