Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu – Ninjutsu

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art that teaches you effective ways of self-protection using timing, distancing, and angling. Multiple attacks, weaponry, striking, grappling, choking, leaping, rolling, and throws are all disciplines incorporated into the training of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. The training is non–competitive, allowing you to focus on developing the mind and body through a whole–body movement martial art, not speed and/or muscle training.

The Bujinkan is the platform Masaaki Hatsumi, Soke, created the after his teacher, the late Takamatsu Sensei, died in 1972. Takamatsu Sensei was the Soke of nine ryu, or lineages, of which he taught to Hatsumi Sensei over the course of 15 years. The nine ryu are:

Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu – Hidden Door School

Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo – Hiding in the Clouds School

Gyokushin Ryu Ninjutsu – Jeweled Heart School

Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu – Jewel Tiger School

Koto Ryu Koppojutsu – Tiger Knocking Down School

Gikan Ryu Koppojutsu – Truth, Loyalty & Justice School

Kukishinden Happo Hikenjutsu – Nine Demon Gods School

Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu – Immovable Heart School

Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu – High Tree, Raised Heart School

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is the culmination of these nine ryu that Hatsumi Sensei uses as the basis for the Bujinkan. Three of the nine ryu are of ninjutsu decent (Togakure Ryu, Kumogakure Ryu & Gyokushin Ryu), making the history of the Bujinkan slightly more difficult to understand without proper historical interpretation by an authentic teacher.

The physical level of training in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu includes:

Junan Taiso - Body flexibility and conditioning

Dakentaijutsu - Strikes, kicks and blocks

Jutaijutsu - Grappling, throwing and limb control

Taihenjutsu - Rolls, leaps and evasions

You are also introduced to the application of traditional weapons in self-defense when they have demonstrated the appropriate level of self–control and coordination.

Bojutsu - long, medium and short stick and staff techniques

Kenjutsu - Sword techniques

Tantojutsu -Knife techniques

Kusarijutsu - Short chain techniques

Naginatajutsu - Halbard techniques

Sojutsu - Spear techniques

Hojojutsu - Cord and rope restraining methods

These weapons are replaced with wooden or rope replicas for safety.

You are also taught to understand the principles of self-defense that together forms the very essence of weapon use. This enables Bujinkan practitioners to instantly adapt any object of any description as an aid in self-protection.
