ABOUT US

The Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is a school created by Dr. Massaki Hatsumi which main goal is to teach and spread the knowledge of nine traditional Japanese martial arts. All these nine schools have different techniques, weapons and philosophical approaches.

Ninjutsu or Ninpo is taught in three of nine schools within the Bujinkan: Togakure Ryu, Gyokushin Ryu and Kumogakure Ryu. But Ninjutsu is not what Hollywood movies have shown us for the past 50 years. The myth of the shadow warrior wearing black and able to disappear is far from being real. Although the historical component of the Ninja born as a guerilla warrior that had to act undercover and developed very unconventional combat techniques is true, Ninjutsu still a very traditional martial art which aims to translate these ancient battle field developed techniques into our day to day activities, self defence and personal development.

Taijutsu is based on the practice of the free movement of your body in combination with your surroundings and the best way to take advantage of them.

We have no competitions, tournaments or spotlights. The only real match is with your own ego.

We believe in the development of honest and trustworthy human beings with remarkable principles and ethics through martial arts, which can contribute positively to society and make a better world.
