What does training in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu mean?
The 9 schools (ryu) of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu provide a vast knowledge base for our training. In addition to the plethora of unarmed combat techniques and principles written in the Densho scrolls, there are numerous weapons and strategic approaches to combat situations. Our weapons training ranges from very modern practical applications such as the use of umbrellas, coins, sweeping brushes and mobile phones, to more traditional battlefield weapons techniques of samurai swords, spears, bo staff, and shuriken. We teach Taijutsu principles that are applicable to old and new style protective wear, such as samurai armour and modern military combat wear.
