“A true Martial Art allows the practitioner to mold that art to the needs of his or her body, so that the  practitioner now becomes a true Martial Artist capable of utilizing devastating force or evasiveness without depending on strength, flexibility, or stamina.”

What is

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu?

The name of the umbrella under which all of our training falls, is “Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu”.   “Bujinkan”: is the organization to which we belong.  “Budo”: Means “Martial Way”, & refers to the mental, strategic, & spiritual side of the art.  “Taijutsu”: means “Art of the Body”, and refers to the fact that we use every part of our body and it’s movement in a evasive and devastating fashion.  We do not limit ourselves either mentally or physically.

What is

Ninjutsu?

The oldest of the martial schools that we study is known as Togakure Ryu Ninpo or Ninjutsu.  Hence our association with Ninjutsu.  “Ninjutsu” means the art of Patience or Endurance.  This can be taken to describe many elements of the arts that we study.  Not only do we study pure Ninjutsu, but all of the associated NInja and Samurai arts.

Authentic Ninja &

Samurai Training...

Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi of the Bujinkan Dojos is recognized by the Japanese Government as the authentic inheritor of these arts.  The oldest of these schools (Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu) is over 900 years old, and like all of the 9 martial schools under the Bujinkan Umbrella – they have a very traceable history.  You are training in arts that have been passed down for almost 1000 years!

Our Instructor

Faculty...

Our University Instructors go through intensive training on their way to becoming Bujinkan Instructors.  All ranks granted by the Martial Arts University are granted by a current Bujinkan Instructor & are recognized internationally.

What Am I

Going to Learn?

Everything we teach you will be practical & useful in protecting yourself, & you don’t have to have any level of fitness.  You will be coached & evaluated on this basis, & you will never be expected to perform everything we teach, or perform anything in a way that does not suit your body.  All of our training & coaching is positive in nature & designed for you to succeed.

Weapons Mastery will start you training with weapons in your first training session with us onward.  You will learn how to effectively use many modern & traditional weapons so that their use comes naturally.  Sticks, swords, knives, guns, ropes, batons, staffs, are just some of the weapons that you will master.  You will receive your TOTAL WEAPONS SYSTEM when you enroll.  This will include many of the common weapons in which we train, as well as a carrying case to transport them.

Ground Mastery will teach you how to move on, get up from, & get down to the ground with grace & speed.  From diving for cover in a multiple shooting scenario – to leaping from multiple attackers.

Distance Combat Mastery is our version of striking, kicking & blocking.  You will be taught to use your body weight & your movement to avoid attacks and “disappear”.  You will learn to utilize every part of your body as an effective weapon against an attacker.

Close Contact Combat Mastery is our grappling. seizing, throwing, & joint locking.  We will teach you how to escape from any grab or hold, & then turn the tables on the attacker – regardless of their size or strength.

Psychological Mastery will train you in predicting & sensing an attacker’s intentions.  We will also train you in how to free your mind of anger & manipulate an opponent.

Mind & Body Combat Symmetry is total the integration of everything you learn, so that it can be applied to any facet in your life.

Multiple Attacker Symmetry will give you the ability to seize back control from more than one attacker at the same time.
