Ammar Alshukry – Ammar Ibn Yasser Fought in the Military Until His 80s

			So did you know that jujitsu is actually the
		

			original form of the samurai? And when the samurai were disbanded, because, you know, guns came
about and muskets, in fact, towards the last 100 years or so?
		

			swords were not even their primary weapon. What was their primary weapon? A gun?
		

			Musket, the samurais? Yeah, wow. In fact, they would have the musket, then they would have like a
spear. And then if they lost both of those, then they would reach for the sword. Samurai were the
official military of Japan. Yeah, the Japanese? Well, it was It wasn't just Japan. But there are
different tribes, there were different lords. There were different nations within Japan. And the
samurai were essentially the fighting force that they had. And what was interesting is the samurai
themselves will be representative of the rulers that they served. So if a ruler was generous, a
samurai would be generous. And if the ruler was oppressive, decembre would be oppressive. And
		

			meaning they would alter their natural character, a Samurai is essentially synonymous for soldier, a
soldier a stormtrooper might be a good guy. But if being if he's being commanded by Darth Vader to
invade something, yeah, they still oppressive soldier. Right? The same thing with the samurai. But
what was interesting was with the samurai were they were disbanded. Because they were one no longer
needed. And to all this technology, military stuff came into play. Part of the disbanding of the
samurai why? Why didn't they just adapt? You're talking about the military and all of that. And so
the samurai kind of were disbanded, because there's a whole culture that was attached to samurai
		

			too, and they wanted to westernize so they were forcibly disbanded. Yeah, it was through the
Japanese government, that they're like, no more samurai. Part of that is now the Japanese don't even
have an army. But now that we don't even have an army. Exactly.
		

			What was interesting when I'm writing it, it came back. Well, I mean, I'm sure in some old villages
and stuff you can find it but what the remnants of what the samurai were, is found in the art of
jujitsu. And what's interesting is that the civilian form of jujitsu, which is judo, that's
essentially Japanese wrestling, without much striking or anything like that. So if you want to learn
wrestling, without striking, use it learn judo, if you want to learn the jujitsu without the
wrestling, you learn Aikido. But if you want to have the aikido and the judo and the striking all at
once you learn jujitsu, what if you want to have the aikido and the striking and happy that also and
		

			the data? Yes, the theology? Yes, the theology has nothing to do with it. Okay. That would have been
a plug for your own dojo. Yeah. But like you could have said after you deal with that, either, I
guess is comes first. Well, that just sounds weird. But I did have that's like, that's like amazing.
After you don't have to look there. Are there fundamental spiritual elements or seven try to
propagate? Yeah, absolutely. They have different like spiritual things that they attach to a
gallery, which is the South Indian martial art, which is, in fact, they say, to be the founding
martial art for things like kung fu. I saw this viral YouTube video of this nine year old woman.
		

			Yeah. Masters color, and she teaches it. Yeah, girls self defense. And they're basically trying to
bring calorie back. Because guess who disbanded calorie? The British? Absolutely. And so they
basically almost lost it because the people who knew calorie rose up against the British military
and the British, like not no more of this. We're banning the teaching of this martial art. And, but
now they're bringing that back. However, it's just the the issue is it's been several generations,
several generations of not having it. It's like, okay, how do you make it practical? Right. It's not
even a martial it's not even sports or what I feel like calorie is also the same way that Indian say
		

			calories.
		

			Well, it's calorie me too. How many calories does how many calories? How many calories does this
soda have as a batting Indian accent? So well, it's all good. It's interesting to see the evolution
of all this stuff. But the thought that comes to mind is the thing that I've always wondered about
this fascinated me, especially with, you know, Islamic history and stuff. When I learned about its
history, the whole of it is unlike the the narrative about their martial nature. And the
conditioning that they must have had to have, like you hear stories about, they're in battle, and
they're fighting their enemy. And the guy with a single soup, and you hear this in Japanese stories
		

			as well, in a single swoop, he's able to kind of go in half. Yeah. And not only that, their ability
to build him that I wanted that. Yeah. And he said, It ain't about the sword.
		

			It's not about the sword wielding it's exactly like people talk about the stories and people talk
about the weapons but no, almost no one cares to take a deeper look at the conditioning and what it
like, how did they do that? The nutrition the type of guy
		

			Ladies they were
		

			no but like there's got to be more detailed to it. I'm just sad that they don't communicate what
that is. I don't need that when you're talking about people who are fighting well into their 50s
Yes. What was the name of this a hobby that everybody wanted to stay away from? Because it had if he
was the one that was killed than the one who kills him was on the wrong side and I'm monitoring
acid. I'm not even was it? Oh my gosh, you're asking me about my namesake.
		

			Modeling asset, of course, and the Prophet satellite is a model would be killed by Atul Bhatia.
Okay. So abbazia means belly means transgressing. Yes that our model will be killed by the
transgressing party. And so Ahmad was killed. But the thing is, that guy was like, 80 plus years
old, and he was fighting in the military. And he was considered to be amongst the fiercest fighters.
I don't know about the fiercest fighters part, but definitely fighting and campaigning into his 80s
Absolutely. How this was during that he died during the get off of it in Maui. Yeah, you're talking
about a good 30 years after the death of the Prophet civilized. 30. That's a lifetime for some
		

			people. Even it himself. It is in his 60s at that point. And he was it is a fierce warrior. Yeah,
absolutely. Never lost the battle. And he's got about a 60 year old today. They were getting ready
for retirement there. Yeah, they're in an old home somewhere.
		

			So not then they're they're mentally preparing themselves to go to an old home. Yeah. But anyway,
that's the end of this clip. I just wanted to kind of share that. Great.
		

			Great, well, I was wondering, is this going to be like, are we gonna segue into the name of Allah on
that note, we end this clip, do leave a comment below. Yes. And having said that, we're gonna just
move on.
