Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art that teaches effective ways of self-protection using timing, distancing and angling. Multiple attacks, modern and traditional weaponry, striking, grappling, choking, leaping, rolling, weapon disarms and throws are all disciplines incorporated into the training of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. |
|
This martial art is not a static art, rather it is a combat art. It continues to progress and build on its knowledge base as the world changes and evolves. The techniques, skills and principles that have been handed down from generation to generation are the core of the art. The bearers of this knowledge were the ones who made it home from the battlefield to teach their children. In contrast, techniques that were ineffective or less effective may not have survived to be passed on. |

The Bujinkan system consists of 9 traditional martial schools. The origins of these 9 ryu are shrouded in history, the oldest tracing its lineage back to the 11th century. Though the art is over 1000 years old, ninjutsu is as effective and practical today as it was in ancient Japan. |
