In this episode of The Appauling Podcast, I sit down with Antony Cummins, one of the world’s leading researchers on Samurai and Ninja history.
From the very beginning of our conversation, Antony shocked me by saying that almost everything we think we know about Samurai and Ninjas is wrong.
Antony Cummins explains how his research, historical translations, and time spent training in Japan studying Ninjutsu led him to uncover major myths surrounding Samurai culture, Ninja warfare, Bushido, and the famous Samurai sword.
He claims that much of the information spread around the world about Ninjas and Samurai was built on misunderstandings, exaggerations, and stories that evolved into global myths.
In this fascinating conversation we explore:
• The real history of Samurai warriors
• The truth about Ninjas and Ninjutsu
• Myths vs facts about Samurai swords and combat
• The culture and philosophy behind Bushido
• What Antony Cummins discovered while training in Japan
• How misinformation about Samurai and Ninjas spread worldwide
If you are interested in Japanese history, Samurai warriors, Ninja culture, martial arts, or historical myths, this episode will completely change how you see these legendary figures.
Antony Cummins has written over 20 books on Samurai and Ninja history, including his latest work exploring the deeper truths behind Japan’s most famous warriors.
This conversation explores history, culture, martial arts and the truth behind one of the most misunderstood warrior traditions in the world.
