What is Budo Taijutsu?

The martial art taught by the Bujinkan Ukibane Dojo is called Budo Taijutsu (combat body skills). This complete Japanese art draws together elements of nine ancient schools of classical Japanese martial culture, known as ryuha, together into a single study. The modern system was created by the current Soke (Grand Master) of these schools, Masaaki Hatsumi Sensei.
