Japan 2012

Juan Hombre Sensei and several instructors from JAPAN NINJUTSU travelled to Japan this past April on a very rewarding business and training trip.




They had the chance to visit Kawakami Soke and Kiyomoto Sensei who are a guide in our path in the search for the roots of Ninjutsu.




We would like to really thank Kawakami Soke and Kiyomoto Sensei their warm welcome, hospitality, friendship and teachings.








Hombre Sensei was presented with a Kagibo, and Kiyomoto Sensei asked him to prepare a study on the use of this traditional weapon for the next training trip
Kiko San was also offered two ancient locks and the appropriate picklock so he may gain dexterity in this skill




Being aware of the comments that have appeared on some forums, we would like to clarify that:

 JAPAN NINJUTSU is an independent organization,



although Juan Hombre Sensei has been awarded the title of Riji (Honorary Director in representation of the Ban family for Europe and South America), besides being considered Doshi (friend in the path) of Kawakami Soke.

JAPAN: OTSU SUMMIT CONFERENCE

On Sunday, April 4th 2010, a meeting was held at the PRINCESS HOTEL in the city of Otsu (Japón), between Jinichi Kawakami Soke from Iga Ryu Koka Ryu Shinobi Banke, Kiyomoto Sensei (Head of the BANKE SHINOBI NO DEN KENSYUJYO) and Juan Hombre Sensei (Head of the JAPAN NINJUTSU FEDERATION) accompanied by the translator and public relations of the JNF for Japan, Mr. Miguel Gadiz.



The goal of this meeting was to clarify the reasons behind certain news published in the web of Kiyomoto Sensei whose interpretation was giving rise to erroneous conclusions.

Once KAWAKAMI Soke gave instructions to amend the text, the second item dealt with was:

Next training session in Japan under the supervision of JINICHI KAWAKAMI Soke for the black belts of the JAPAN NINJUTSU FEDERATION, will be held during the first weeks of September 2010.

And lastly, KAWAKAMI Soke, confirmed his visit to Spain in order to hold an International Congress, organized by Juan Hombre Sensei and the JAPAN NINJUTSU FEDERATION, the exact date of which will be published shortly.

Kuji Goshin Ho

KujiGoshin Ho

The Kuji Goshin Ho, "Nine Syllable Seals" is a specialist form of Buddhist meditation. Derived from Diamond Universe Nine Assemblies mandala of the Shingon Buddhism. It is commonly used by other Buddhist sects, specially in japan, including some taoists and practitioners of shinto and traditional chinese religion, as well as in Folk-magic throught east Asia.

Technically, the word Kuji Goshin Ho refers only to the positions of the hands (Mudra) and incantations (mantra). The practice of making nine cuts related, five horizontal and four vertical, in the air with your finger or on paper with a brush is known as Haya Kuji, Nine Syllable Cuts. In Japanese, the practice of Kuji-in represents that all the forces of the universe are united against evil. Because of this, it was commonly used by people traveling, especially in the mountains to get lucky.

In Japanese, the nine syllables are Rin, Pyo / Kyo, To, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen If the nine cuts are made, as in some cases, the syllable "Ko" is sometimes said at the end. These syllables are short forms of the full prayers, which are:
The interpretations of the incantations in Ninjutsu are:

Rin - Strengh  
Pyo - Channeling
To - harmony
Sha - Healing
Kai - sense of danger
Jin - Reading thoughts
Retsu - control of space and time
Zai - control the elements and the sky
Zen - enlightenment

The Kuji Goshin Ho is a instrument to be used in meditation, and are often over-simplified in popular culture, which used them as a form of magic. This misinterpretation, followed by the misuse of Mudra mantra, has been popularized by some neo-ninja/gendai ninpo, video games, manga, anime and movies.

Weapons

Weapons

Ninjato
Straight-bladed sword, and sometimes more a long knife than  a sword .
Also, it does not feature a bleeder, so swinging it is quieter and stabbing with it is faster.
Their shorter length led to them drawing their sword faster, enabling them to use quick Battoujutsu killing strikes. The wider blade as well as it's straight trait served both the purpose of effective stabbing (which is quieter and more lethal than slashing) and the purpose of the sword being used as a stepping tool. One would shove the sword into the ground, step on it's square guard, reach the high point and retrieve the sword by using a rope tied to it.

This weapon was more commonly used as a tool by itself as well as a tool-carrier. It's sheath was longer than the blade, featuring a hidden compartment in the end in which they could hide kunai, poisons, blowguns or medicine. Also, the tip of the sheath was pointy, so it could be used as a blunt weapon or a tool for pressure point attacks. Shuriken were sometimes hidden under it's square guard.

Shuriken
Literally, blade concealed in one's hand. These feature a wide range of shapes and forms. The most commonly known is the cross-shaped Kuruma Shuriken, although there are 3-point, 4-point, 6-point, 8-point and even 10-point versions of the star-shape shuriken.
There are also bo-shuriken, which are straight spikes.

Even though their most common use is being thrown, they could also be used as tendon-severing knives or pressure-point puncturing tools as well as effective traps. They could also be tipped in poison for increased killing power, although mere common rust was a lethal poison at the time.


Tebo
A staff split in the middle and with both parts tied with a chain or rope. This farm implement was originally a tool for taking the grain off rice stalks. However, as a weapon, it was swung about as one would do with Nunchaku.

Today's nunchaku have it's origins in this farming tool.

Kanawa
A metallic circle, commonly known as "trivet". This forging tool was commonly used to lift heated iron kettles. However, the Ninja adapted this as a weapon. It could be used to bond the enemy and take out his arms or legs, to choke him, to disarm him and even to be thrown at him if the outside was sharpened.

A slight problem regarding this item is that it was quite impractical to carry.

Nekote
Small blades attached to rings one would wear on his fingertips, acting as nail extensions. These claws were commonly used by Kunoichi, as women normally dressed in Kimono with large sleeves, meaning they could easily hide their hands (and Nekote) from sight. The more skilled Kunoichi that never cut themselves with this kind of weapon would, sometimes, dip the tips in poison. Common rust arises, once again, as one of the lethal poisons of the era.

• Tools

Kama (Sickle)
A short wooden handle with a curved blade attached perpendicularily at one of the tips. Sometimes two of these are tied together with a rope or a chain.

As a farm implement, this was used to cut grass and harvesting rice. However, it was used as a climbing tool by the Ninja.

Kusarigama
A kama with a three meters chain ended in a metallic ball. used as an effective weapon.

Note that this was also sometimes used as a weapon for saw-slashing, stabbing and throwing

Kaginawa (Grappling Hook)
Coming in various shapes and forms, most commonly described as a hook tied to a long rope. This tool was used to lift buckets in wells as well as retrieving items falling in unreachable spots.

As a mission tool, this was used to climb the large walls (honmaru) surrounding fortresses. It could, however, be used as a throwing weapon or even to hook enemies and make the fight up close and personal.

Tekagi (Hand Claws) and Ashikagi (Foot Claws)
These tools, used for grass cutting and walking on slippery surfaces, were adapted for climbing.

They could, however, be used as a weapon for palm strikes, hook-slashing and kicking.

Makibishi/Tetsubishi (Caltrops)
Small spiked caltrops used by the Ninja to deter pursuit. When pursued by the enemy, ninja would scatter makibishi on the ground. In ancient Japan, common footwear consisted of sandals made of straw, called zori, which offered relatively little protection against such hazards. Makibishi spines were often hooked, and occasionally grooved to allow for a light coat of poison, to increase the damage they dealt to those unfortunate enough to step on them and possibly result in death. Also, they could be tied in an invisible nylon rope and set between trees at chest, neck or head height so that the enemy would be effectively killed by this tool.

Small ammounts of caltrops could be housed in the small, hidden compartment that the Ninjato's scabbard has on it's tip and dropped on the ground by simply pulling this compartment out while running away.

Kunai
A japanese gardening tool used for excavation, just like a trowel. Contrary to popular belief, this tool was normally unsharpened, although it was pointy. Comes in two variations, Sho-kunai (short kunai) and Dai-kunai (large kunai).

The Ninja sharpened the tool and used it as a small, readily available dagger for slashing and stabbing. A small round ring, acting as pommel, can be used to tie ropes and use it as a swinging weapon like a Mankirigisari, for traps or even as a grappling hook.

Although in popular culture this weapon is depicted as a throwing weapon with a triangular blade, the blade actually has a leaf-shape and due to it's size and weight compared to that of the Kunai, it was harder to throw. Also, considering it only has one blade, compared to the Shuriken's multi-blade design this would be much harder to stick into a target. It was sometimes thrown, tho, in a rotatory motion. Some experts can even make the kunai slash three times before actually sticking due to incredibly fast rotation.

Also, just like the Shuriken, poisons or even common rust were applied to this weapon for increased lethal effectiveness.

Shinobi Shozoku
Ninja clothing was made to be light and prevent the wearer from being noticed. Black ninja clothing is often seen in movies, but there was actually no jet-black clothing. Jet-black would cause the form to stand out in the light of the moon, so a dark navy blue dying method was usually used. This navy blue dye fulfilled a function of being a sort of viper pattern, much like the rattlesnake-like pattern in the color of jeans. Green and dark brown dyes were also used, as green would hide the wearer's shape and color when close to vegetation, and dark brown would merge the wearer with darkness and shadows as it's very dark but not dark enough to reflect the moonlight.
