This complete Japanese art draws together elements of nine ancient schools of classical Japanese martial culture, known as ryuha, together into a single study.

These arts are taught together as the martial art of Budo Taijutsu.
The modern curriculum includes multiple fighting skills including punching, kicking, throwing,

All students of the Bujinkan Dojo should receive an annual membership card and official menkyo licenses from the hombu dojo in Japan.
