The last bit sounds painful. Are there a lot of injuries?
Bujinkan martial arts involve ‘whole being’ (mind, body and spirit) interaction between people. It is impossible to engage in this kind of close proximity practice without having our perception of discomfort/pain continually challenged. For many this is a completely new realm of experience. We have drawn from years of training experience and a number of excellent resources to create a series of exercises and drills to help people adapt during the initial stages of training. As far as injuries go, bruises are more common. Beyond that our training is safe/as safe as it can be. During all activity we continually stress safety and the correct body mechanics relating to every technique we practice. However accidents can happen.
