It was created to serve as a personal record of a students' journey towards a black belt in the Bujinkan. It stemmed from my need and desire, to ensure the students of the Bujinkan Roselle Dojo receive the core instruction needed for shodan. I am sharing this free ebook in order help oth- er dojos, instructors and students, with this information as well. It is entirely up to the reader to make use of it as they see fit. My hope is that it helps as a guide. Any mistakes, mistranslations, errors, and omissions are entirely my fault. Please feel free to share this book, but please share it in its entirety. All the articles in this book have been written by me over the years, and as I keep travel along my own path, my ideas about budo may change. Nothing is permanent, everything changes I am not the same budoka I was when I was sixteen years old and when I began my journey in the Bujinkan, nor is anyone reading this. The changes we make are a part of our journey. I welcome comments, and discussions about this book and Budo in general, so please feel free to contact me, or I will see you on the Tatami sooner or later. As always good luck with training. 武風一貫 Sincerely, Robert J. Hartung III | Bujinkan Roselle Dojo-cho INTRODUCTION: 礼 It is said that the study of marital arts begins and ends with a bow, ”礼”(rei). Dojo etiquette is an important part to study- ing martial arts; knowing when you should bow, knowing how to behave, and knowing what is expected of you as a martial artist is as important as the techniques themselves. Before entering the dojo, we show our respect to the art, to the space, and to the tradition by bowing at the door of the dojo. We then bow again, facing the shomen (the front of the dojo) or the kamidana (spiritual shelf), before stepping on the tat- ami mats. We also face the shomen or kamidana and bow when leaving the tatami mats. In Japanese culture bowing is important, even baseball players bow to the field when entering and leaving the ball diamond. Bowing demonstrates respect. In the Bujinkan we also have a bow-in procedure before starting and closing our training session. The procedure is as fol- lows: 1. Students line up based on rank from right to left; 詞 highest ranking students to lower ranking students 韻 facing the shomen or kamidana. 2. The teacher is in front of the students facing the 波 Kamidana or shomen. 羅 3. The teacher makes a plea in Japanese, then says: ”詞韻波羅密大光明”(shiken harimitsu daiko- 密 myo) students repeats after the teacher then in 大 unison everyone claps twice and bows, then claps once more and bows. 光 4. Teacher turns to students, then the highest rank- 明 ing student says: ”先生に礼”, (sensei ni rei). And, everyone says ”よろしくお願いします”(Yoro- shiku Onegaishimasu)while bowing to each other. 5. Bowing out procedures basically repeats steps 1-4, except instead of saying (Yoroshiku Onegaishima- su you say,どうもありがとうございました1 (domo arigato gozaimashita). Bowing procedures are sometimes different, depending on the dojo and teacher. However, this is generally how bowing in is done in the Bujinkan. The beginning and end of class has the most formality; bow- ing through out class usually occurs, when changing trading partners and when the teacher finishes teaching something different. Bowing is only one of the means in which we demonstrate respect. There are various ways to bow, but your teacher should demonstrate them to you. Bowing is almost an art onto itself. DOJO-KUN (CODE OF THE DOJO) 道場訓 In the dojo, we have a code or basic precepts in which we strive to uphold. These precepts are as follows. 右、 一、 一、一、 一、一、 道 昭 明 五 文心 唯悲 大 人 忍 場 伝 高 戸 和 治 定 武常 だし 欲 の 耐 訓 初 松 田 三 二 を にに 不み と 道 は、 見 寿 真 十 十 守 志忠 動も 楽 は、先 良 嗣 龍 三 三 る す孝 心恨 と 正 ず 昭 翊 軒 年 年 こ 可の のみ 依 義 一 白 翁 正 三 春 と、 し道 悟も 怙 也 服 龍 光 月 正 道 を り自 の と の 吉 月 場 離 を然 心 知 間 日 記 の れ 得の を れ と 規 ず、可定 忘 ぞ 定 しめ れ 知 也 と よ れ 思 い、 Translation: “DOJO CODE To know that patience comes first. To know that the path of humanity comes from justice. To renounce avarice, indolence, and obstinacy. To recognize sorrow and resentment as natural, and seek the immovable heart. To not stray from the path of loyalty, and with a balance between the pen and the sword, always delve deeper into the heart of Budo. Observing these five rules to the right is the law of the dojo. Meiji 23 (1890) Spring, Toda Shinryuken Masamitsu Showa 33 (1958) March, on an auspicious day Takamatsu Toshitsugu Uou Transmitted by Hatsumi Masaaki Byakuryu​​​​” This Dojo-kun was passed on to Hatsumi Sensei and he has passed it on to us; in addition to the general guidelines to join the Bujinkan Dojo. All Japanese martial arts have a dojo-kun that illustrates their general moral outlook and values. Before joining a dojo you agree to uphold these laws. The general guidelines are as follows although some guide- lines have changed recently: “BUJINKAN GUIDELINES: 1. The Bujinkan shall be open to only those who agree with and uphold the guidelines of the Bujinkan Dojo. Those not doing so shall not be allowed to join. Specifically: Only those who have read and agreed with these guidelines shall be allowed to participate. 2. Only those able to exercise true patience, self-con- trol, and dedication shall be allowed to participate. A physician’s examination report shall be required. Specifically, individuals with mental illness, drug addiction, or mental instability shall be barred from joining. The necessity of such a report concerns individuals who may present a danger to others, for example, those with infectious diseases or illnesses, individuals with clinically abnormal personalities or physiology, and individuals lacking self-control. 3. Individuals with criminal records shall be turned away. Trouble makers, those who commit crimes, and those living in Japan who break domestic laws shall be turned away. 4. Those not upholding the guidelines of the Bujinkan, either as practitioners or as members of society, by committing disgraceful or reproachable acts shall be expelled. Until now, the Bujinkan was open to large numbers of people who came to Japan. Among them, unfortunately, were those committing violent drunken acts, the mentally ill, and trouble makers who thought only of themselves and failed to see how their actions might adversely affect others. Through their actions, such people were discarding the traditional righteous heart of the Bujinkan. From this day forward, all such people shall be expelled. 5. Regarding accidents occurring during training (both inside and outside the dojo), one should not cause trouble to the Bujinkan. This is an extremely important point. Those unwilling to take personal responsibility for accidents occurring during Bujink- an training shall not be admitted. Reiterating for clarity, the Bujink- an shall not take responsibility for any accidents happening in the course of training, regardless of the location. 6. All those joining the Bujinkan must get an annual membership card. This card not only preserves the honor of the Bujinkan members, it indicates you are part of a larger whole–one whose members come together with warrior hearts to better themselves through training and friendship. It evinces the glory of warrior virtue, and embodies both loyalty and brotherly love. 7. The tradition of the Bujinkan recognizes nature and the universality of all human life, and is aware of that which flows naturally between the two parts: •”The secret principle of Taijutsu is to know the foundations of peace. •To study is the path to the immovable heart (Fudoshin).” Recently, the Bujinkan has become truly international. Just as there are various time zones, so exist various taboos among the world’s peoples and nations. We must respect each other, striving to avoid such taboos. We must put the heart of the warrior first, working together for self-improvement and for the betterment of the Bujinkan. Those not upholding the above-mentioned guidelines shall be forced out of the Bujinkan. Masaaki Hatsumi – Soke” Some aspects of number six of the general guidelines is no longer in effect, as in you do not need an annual membership card any longer. Daishihans are now allowed to handle memberships on their own. The importance of these guidelines are to ensure only good hearted individuals, that are healthy of mind and body are allowed to train; those that do not risk the health and welfare of the community as a whole.

    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.
