Ninjutsu question...?

Question

What is Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and Ninpo Budo Taijutsu?

I am interested in it but the problem is that this is not my field.

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

google search it.

Answer 2

Fail.

Answer 3

All of them are the same, just different words used to describe it as the focus has shifted over the years. They're a martial art like many many others. 9 schools (ryu) make up the curriculum to attempt to move back toward the original line of thought: that one didn't simply study one aspect of fighting but all aspects -- grappling, striking, ground-fighting, weapons, etc.

The difference between those ryuha teaching ninpo taijutsu and those teaching things like jujutsu, koppojutsu, kosshijutsu, bikenjutsu, etc. is the focus on running away from the altercation. Whereas, for example, Takagi Yoshin Ryu has techniques wherein one might sacrifice himself to protect another, Togakure Ryu has technique where blinding powders or nuisance weapons would be used to buy enough time to escape.

Hope that answers your question.

Answer 4

Hi there

Ninpo taijutsu is the body movement or unarmed technqiues of the ninja.

Bujinkan Budo taijutsu is the malgamation of body movements from 9 ryu ha including ninpo.

Basically you study all these kata and make the movement your own including weapons.

Personally i think Bujinkan taijutsu best describes what is practiced in the bujinkan. It gives it a more complete name rather than just ninpo. Changing the name has helped to move away from the ninpo side of things which to be honest is only a small part of what is practiced anyway. Even though its ninpo that attracts all the attention and not always in a good way.

We use the forms to help develop natural taijutsu. You dont become the form but you must study them and train them correctly to learn things like the kukan, distance, timing, angle rythem, flow etc.
