What should I expect in Training?
The training is generally referred to as taijutsu (body arts), and is composed of both armed and unarmed methods of fighting. Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu practice does not include participation in competitions or contests because of the possibility of injury or even death from the seriousness and danger of techniques, at most we perform in demonstrations showing the art for what it is.
Specifically however, the Bujinkan is mostly known for teaching kosshijutsu (pressure point, muscle attacks/tears and joint dislocations), koppojutsu (bone breaking), jutaijutsu (throwing, grappling, ground fighting), dakentaijutsu (strikes), happo bikenjutsu (various modern and traditional weapons), and ninpo.
