It's been a while since the last newsletter.
|
Not much has happened I did have three Tanrenkai workshops the past three months. I recorded it and uploaded it to BUDOSHOP.SE a couple of days ago if you are interested.
|
I have continued updating the web sites.
|
I will go to Japan in April.

TORYŨ TANRENKAI
The theme for this first three Tanrenkai was Shinken Taijutsu – Tora no Maki, a practical self-defence system developed roughly 200 years ago from the traditions of Kukishin-ryū and Shinden Fudō-ryū.
|
We finished SHODAN KATA, and might continue with NIDAN KATA in June. But first we will have the "Back From Japan Seminar" (See more below).
|
Looking forward to training with everyone!
|
- May 9th (booked)
- June 6th or 27th (TBD)

I’ve dedicated much of my work to BUJINKAN.ONLINE, a membership site designed to preserve and share the depth of our art. For just $25 per year, members receive a Bujinkan Membership Card issued by me, along with full access to the "Densho" members section.
|
BUJINKAN.ONLINE/DENSHO
Inside, you’ll find detailed descriptions of all Taijutsu techniques in the Bujinkan Dojo, along with most of the weapons. The Densho is available in its original Japanese, with Romaji and English translations. I’m continuously expanding this resource by adding my own insights and interpretations, complete with pictures.
|
Beyond techniques, the site also hosts a vast archive of historical articles, including writings by Hatsumi Sensei and rare materials about him—some dating back to 1961, covering both Takamatsu Sensei and Hatsumi Sensei.
|
Currently, there are 835 articles available. You can browse the front page and see the categories, but full access requires membership.
|
|
I’m committed to growing this resource and always looking for contributors. If you have articles that aren’t yet in the archive, I’d love your help. In return, I offer free access to the site for those who contribute missing materials. Daishihan are especially welcome—if you support this project by sharing your collection or encouraging your students to join, I’ll provide you with complimentary access.

YUDANSHA BOOK
|
|
|
I have only written one public book, and it is the YUDANSHA book. I got very good feedback from many prominent Bujinkan teachers including Hatsumi Soke. The book covers all the Taijutsu techniques I think every 5'th Dan should know by heart.
|
The book is only available from Lulu!
|
|
Below is two pages from the book as an example. It is available in a few different formats and bindings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We collected over 2000 articles and essays from the most well known Instructors of the Bujinkan Dojo since 2005.
