About the Bujinkan arts

About the Bujinkan arts

Bujinkan Ninjutsu has evolved and developed through the centuries laying down not just fundamental movements but also universal philosophies.

The forms and movements have been transmitted from generation to generation via written scrolls for 900 years, but the way to use them is passed verbally and there has been an unbroken line of grandmasters for 34 generations.

Dr Hatsumi is the Grandmaster of all the 9 Ryu (schools) in the Bujinkan.

The 9 Bujinkan schools we study are:

  1. Togakure-ryu Ninpo Happo Biken
    Founded in the late 1100’s by Daisuke Nishina.

    Founded in the mid 1100’s by Tozawa Hakuunsai.
