Training Overview
This is not a competitive sport, The focus is on self defence
We teach the art of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu - which encompasses both ninja and samurai combat methods
We study the use of timing, distance and whole body movement with emphasis on the feeling rather than on the particulars of the techniques, learning natural responses to situations, which encompasses both ninja and samurai combat methods Use your strongest natural weapons against your attackers' weakest points
To defend against weapons you first have to know how they are used
