What is Budo Taijutsu?

The martial art taught by the BJAT is called Budo Taijutsu (combat body skills). This complete Japanese art draws together elements of nine ancient schools of classical Japanese martial culture, known as ryuha, together into a single study. The modern system was created by the current Soke (Grand Master) of these schools, Masaaki Hatsumi Sensei.

 

schools taught under the banner of the Bujinkan Dojo:

These arts are taught together as the martial art of Budo Taijutsu. The modern curriculum includes multiple fighting skills including punching, kicking, throwing, limb restraints, rolling and breakfalling. Also studied are weapons skills including kenjutsu (long and short Japanese swords), Bojutsu (6 foot, 4 foot and 3 foot staff) and more. All students of the Bujinkan Ukibane Dojo are required to purchase an annual membership card from the hombu dojo in Japan.

What makes Budo Taijutsu different?

Budo Taijutsu, is one of the few surviving complete martial arts. Undiluted by an emphasis on tournaments, sport technique, or artificial rules, it teaches shinkengata - actual self-defense techniques.

Budo Taijutsu uses relaxed natural movement and distance to overcome an opponent's speed and strength. Movement is refined for grace and naturalness in all actions until power results from mere movement, and evasion from a simple adjustment of position.

By not relying on speed or strength, the art becomes the perfect vehicle for personal defense against stronger and faster opponents as well as provides the skills to defend when injured or just plain getting old!

Our 1000-year old tradition is a complete martial art, and as such incorporates strikes, punches, kicks, throws, locks, tumbling, weaponry, stealth, meditation, spiritual empowerment, and a literally unlimited universe of henka (variations of all the above into the flow of actual combat).
