The official name for our art is Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.
It consists of nine separate ryu, or schools, the oldest
going back more than 900 years. Masaaki Hatsumi has inherited the title of Soke,
or grandmaster, for each of the following traditions:
- Togakure ryu ninjutsu
- Gyokko ryu koshijutsu
- Kuki Shinden ryu happo hikenjutsu
- Shinden Fudo ryu dakentaijutsu
- Gyokushin ryu ninjutsu
- Koto ryu koppojutsu
- Gikan ryu koppo taijutsu
- Takagi Yoshin ryu jutaijutsu
- Kumogakure ryu ninjutsu
Traditionally, training involved 18 separate fields of study:
- Spiritual refinement

- Ninja sword techniques
- Stick fighting techniques
- Throwing blade techniques
- Spear fighting

Today, training emphasises the combat techniques that have been proven on the
battle field for more than 900 years. Safety is foremost in the training hall.
Students are encouraged to learn at their own pace and to practice at a safe speed.
Spiritual refinement also makes up part of today's training, particularly at the
higher levels.
