Ancient Wisdom – Modern Application

The Bujinkan system is comprised of nine different traditional Japanese martial art schools:

Togakure Ryu Ninpo
Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu
Kuki Shinden Ryu Happo Hiken
Koto Ryu Koppojutsu
Gikan Ryu Koppo
Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu
Gyokushin Ryu Ninpo
Kumogakure Ryu Ninjutsu
Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu

Each of the above schools includes: striking, kicking, grappling, escaping, and weapons systems. Bujinkan martial arts are not sport martial arts, so there are no formal competitions or tournaments. Ranks are awarded when the student demonstrates competency and an appropriate level of commitment.

Bujinkan Martial Arts is an international martial arts organisation which is based in Japan. It is a combination of nine traditional Japanese martial art styles which date back over 900 years. It is said that Bujinkan was developed by both Ninja and Samurai fighters who developed it into a powerful form of self-defense rather than a sport with rules and regulations.
