Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu
Bujinkan means temple of the divine warrior, Budo Taijutsu is synonymous with the art of the body . Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu was founded by Masaaki Hatsumi and includes 9 schools of martial arts, for which he holds the title Soke.
Through Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu you first learn how to move your body naturally, then how to use different techniques against different attacks that were previously tried out in real combat or war and were accordingly successful. These techniques, which are still practiced today and can be used for different weapons, were written down on so-called denshos (scrolls), which have been preserved to this day. Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu teaches us how to handle different weapons or how to use them as part of your body. In Bujinkan there are a variety of weapons, for example tanto (knife), shuriken (throwing weapon), katana (sword) or yari (spear).
Through Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, after a certain amount of time, you will be able to adapt to any situation, defend yourself and, among other things, lead a happy life.
Ninjas were true masters of martial arts, healing, hiding and disguise. Therefore, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is the way to understand the art of the shadow warriors and to find peace with yourself and bring it into our time.
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu literally means the art of endurance or the art of never giving up. Nin “忍” alone has several meanings such as loneliness, human, being one, etc.
Ninjutsu is a very old martial art (around 1500 years old) that was developed in the mountains of Japan in order to survive and live in peace. Of course, there are no exact documents from the so-called shadow warriors about how exactly this art developed. The term ninja came later than ninjutsu itself, the masters of this martial art lived disguised as normal farmers, which is why they did not call themselves ninja.
Of course, many of today's martial arts and combat sports are influenced by Ninjutsu techniques and schools.
Takamatsu Toshitsugu (1889-1972)
Takamatsu Toshitsugu was the last ninja and master of ninjutsu, who had to use his skills on several occasions in a life-or-death situation, including serving as a ninja during World War II. He was the Soke (in English "master") of many samurai and ninjutsu schools that still exist today.
After 15 years of tough training, he awarded Masaaki Hatsumi the title of Soke from 3 Ninjutsu and 6 Samurai schools.
