What makes the Bujinkan system different from other martial arts?
The Bujinkan core is a comprehensive or “total” life-protection system. It does not specialize in any particular kind of narrow application or sporting practice as many arts do. Everything is used freely, including unconventional weapons and unconventional applications of common and traditional weapons. In the Bujinkan system the focus is not on learning particular techniques and applying them against an opponent. In the Bujinkan we study and understand the fundamental survival skills of movement distance and timing. This fundamental philosophy needs to be witnessed at first hand to be understood and appreciated.
