Are there tournaments or competitions in the Bujinkan?
Due to the nature of the techniques studied, there are no tournaments or competitions in Budo Taijutsu. As tournament fighting has set rules which compel the competitor to study the techniques allowed within that framework, this limits not only the kinds of techniques that they study, but also the way in which they will apply those techniques. The way that you train is the way that you fight. Budo Taijutsu requires that its practitioners be open to any situation and to be able to adapt their technique to ensure survival.
