This Jin Ryaku no Maki DVD by Kevin Millis is the original foundational techniques of the Bujinkan Dojo. This dramatic series of kata was produced in an attempt to show how the basic form is to be practiced, and then as the same technique is done at relatively full speed to show how the techniques “morph” into sometimes un-recognizable movements when put under the unpredictable pressure of a determined attacker.
In this DVD collection of techniques from the Ten Chi Jin no Maki, Kevin Millis is once again featured for your consideration, with his unique blend of humor, perspective and motivational style working to support Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi’s teachings of this historically significant martial art and life method system.
This collection of kata is from the Jin Ryaku no Maki of the Ten Chi Jin scrolls, once know as the “Shidoshi Scrolls”, the original foundational techniques of the Bujinkan Dojo. This dramatic series of kata was produced in an attempt to show how the basic form is to be practiced, and then as the same technique is done at relatively full speed to show how the techniques “morph” into sometimes un-recognizable movements when put under the unpredictable pressure of a determined attacker. As with all of our Bujinkan applications there is no way possible to be able to demonstrate these kata at full speed or with their full range of motion or contact. These dramatic kata are capable of unmatched potential for damage or death and must be controlled at all times. Both the uke and Mr. Millis took the gravest risk attempting to demonstrate the vaguest shadow of these lethal techniques. Extreme caution must be exercised when practicing any martial art and most certainly the techniques of the Bujinkan Dojo hold no exception to this stark warning.
