Bujinkan
The Bujinkan is an international organization created by Masaaki Hatsumi Soke, the 34th Grandmaster of the Togakure Ryu ( one of the 9 family-lineage systems ), to showcase and teach Ninpo ( essence of patience/endurance/perseverance ) and the Nine Ryuha ( nine family traditions ) inherited from the earliest-generation Ninjas.
Ninjutsu Martial Arts
Unlike Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and many other modern martial arts, Ninjutsu is non-competitive. Many modern schools are sport-oriented, teaching conflict with sparring, competition, and aggressive behavior. This is a good approach to sport martial arts, which may be fun and exciting, however, Ninjutsu is quite different in its approach.
Ninjutsu is based on defense of self and others, and prizes humility, restraint, and ecasion of conflict more highly than engagement in actual confrontation. However, it recognizes that engagement may at times be necessary or unavoidable. Consequently, Ninjutsu teaches real-world, combat skills designed to protect against inevitable harm. These skills teach the intricacies of distance, space, and time, and have been handed down from generation to generation for well over a thousand years by the first Ninjas of Japan. For all these reasons and more, Ninjutsu is the most effective, pragmatic, and well rounded martial arts system in the world. In fact, the United States Army Special Forces has incorporated Ninjutsu into there training program.
