bujinkan

To fully comprehend the tactics and strategy of the Bujinkan and discover what it can offer in terms of personal growth, means dedicating oneself to the study of Ninpo Taijutsu, or Budo Taijutsu as it is technically known today.

Literally meaning “skill with the body,” Taijutsu forms the basis for all understanding in the Bujinkan. By developing natural responses with the body during initial training, physical lessons are created and used as models for psychological and tactical instruction in advanced studies. Taijutsu is made up of methods for:

• STRIKING AND GRAPPLING
• TUMBLING AND BREAKING FALLS
• LEAPING AND CLIMBING
• CONDITIONING THE BODY
• MAINTAINING HEALTH
• SPECIAL WAYS OF WALKING AND RUNNING (more…)

Bujinkan Budo Taijitsu

What is Bujinkan Budo Taijitsu?

The Bujin Dojo of Japan is home to one of the world’s most comprehensive martial arts - Budo Taijutsu - its knowledge gleaned from generations of warefare and peace. Teachings are comprised of nine ryu, or schools, that date back more than 2,600 years and include skills from Chinese Kenpo, Samurai Jujutsu and Ninpo - methods of the secretive and oft-misunderstood Ninja.

Budo Taijutsu stresses the principles underlying techniques, serving the greatest benefit for the protection of self and others. Trainining unites spirit, technique, and body - Shi-Gi-Tai-Ichi - allowing swift adaptation to any attacker in any situation. This inherent practicality draws tens of thousands of people from around the world, many involved in law enforcement or military operations.
