    Shinobi Notebook #3 http://passaic-bujinkan-buyu.setech-co.com Ninja Training The Togakure Ryu Ninpo, established approximately eight hundred years ago, is now in its 34th generation. The Ryu (style) exists today under the Bujinkan Association dedicated to teaching effective methods of self protection and promoting the self development and awareness of its members. Due to the stabilized nature of contemporary Japanese government and judicial systems, the Togakure ninja ryu no longer involves itself directly in combat or espionage work. Previous to the unification of Japan during the 16th century; however, it was necessary for Togakure ninja to operate out of south central Iga Province. At the height of the historical ninja period, the clan’s ninja operatives were trained in eighteen fundamental areas of expertise, beginning with this “physic purity” and progressing through a vast range of physical and mental skills. The eighteen levels of training were as follows: 1. Seishin Teki Kyoyo: Spiritual Refinement. 2. Taijutsu: Unarmed combat. Skills of daken-taijutsu or striking, kicking and blocking; jutaijutsu or grappling, choking and escaping the holds of others, and taihenjutsu or silent movement, rolling, leaping and tumbling assisted the Togakure ninja in life threatening, defensive situations. 3. Ninja Ken: Ninja Sword. Two distinct sword skills were required, “Fast draw” techniques centered around drawing the sword and cutting as a simultaneous defensive or attacking action. “Fencing” skills used the drawn sword in technique clashes with armed attackers. 4. Bo-Jutsu: Stick and staff fighting. 5. Shuriken-Jutsu: Throwing blades. Throwing blades were carried in concealed pockets and used as harassing weapons.

  • Bujinkan Michael Wedekind Interview -May 27Th, 1996 with Shihan Richard J
    Newsletter "The Source" Bujinkan Michael Wedekind Interview -May 27th, 1996 with Shihan Richard J. Van Donk MW - You are one of the highest ranking master teachers in the Bujinkan and also have several blackbelts in other styles. Can you tell us something about your first impression of Sensei Hatsumi when you first met him back in your early training? Van Donk- My first impression was that he was an incredible human being. His energy was so radiant, so full of life. From my previous experience in hard style Karate I expected Japanese martial artists to be more strict and rigid but I found Soke Hatsumi to be very open and friendly and very exuberant in his energies, almost non-Japanese like in nature. His martial art's skill was way beyond anyone I had ever trained with before and I had trained with a lot of really, really good teachers. The things I learned from other teachers were different , in a different kind of context. What Hatsumi was teaching even back then seemed to be more of a life giving, more open, more complete kind of training. I was really impressed with his skills; his ability to move, his distancing and timing, and his ability to do so little in a fight situation and yet accomplish so much all at the same time. MW - Some people say that Ninjutsu is not a real art. They say it's mixed from other arts because they have never heard of it before. Maybe they have tried Judo or Karate before but they have either never heard of Ninjutsu before or if they have heard of it all they know of it is what they have seen on videos or at the movies.
