Bujinkan Martial Arts

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.
