Bujinkan Association of Japan
Bujinkan (武神館 - The Hall of the Divine Warrior) is an international martial arts organization based in Noda, Japan and headed by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi (Soke), who inherited nine ancient martial arts traditions (koryū 古流 or kobujutsu 古武術) which include three Ninjutsu Schools, transferred to him in the middle of the 20th Century by his teacher Takamatsu Toshitsugu.
The Bujinkan system is recognized worldwide as an authentic Ninjutsu (忍術) school, but the style is generally called Budō Taijutsu (武道体術), because the training is focus on the combat skills from 6 of the 9 ancient lineages (流派 - Ryūha) under Sōke (宗家 - Head of the family) Hatsumi Masaaki.
