The Bujinkan (Warrior Spirit Training Hall or House of the Divine Warrior), or more properly the is a martial arts organization, one of the three X-kan. It is headed and operated by sōke Masaaki Hatsumi (初見良昭 Hatsumi Masaaki), who learned from Toshitsugu Takamatsu (高松寿嗣 Takamatsu Toshitsugu). The Bujinkan hombu dōjō is in Noda just outside Tokyo. Bujinkan dōjō can be found all over the world.
The Bujinkan Dōjō method is named Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu (武神館武道体術), and is a collection of nine martial arts family lineages, called ryūha.
The art was previously called Bujinkan Ninpō Taijutsu and before that it was known under the more generic name of ninjutsu - a name that many serious practitioners of the art today avoid as it has acquired something of a bad reputation. One thing associated with ninjutsu is the throwing of shuriken and although it is part of the curriculum of some ryūha, it is very much a small facet of a much larger system.
Training
The training is generally referred to as
taijutsu, and is composed of both armed and unarmed methods of fighting. Unarmed methods are broken down into three primary categories,
dakentaijutsu (striking forms),
jūtaijutsu (grappling forms), and
taihenjutsu (body movement skills). Much of the basic taijutsu taught to beginners comes from six primary lineages in the Bujinkan compendium, namely
Kotō-ryū,
Gyokko-ryū,
Shinden Fudō-ryū,
Takagi Yōshin-ryū,
Kuki Shinden-ryū, and
Togakure-ryū.
