02 THE ART WE PRACTISE
Japanese roots.
Living practice.
Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu brings together nine Japanese martial arts traditions.
Bujinkan was founded by Masaaki Hatsumi, who learned the traditions from his teacher Toshitsugu Takamatsu. The art includes breakfalls, strikes, kicks, throws, control techniques and traditional weapons.
We study techniques and principles through exercises with a partner. Self-defence is part of the field, alongside body technique, weapons practice and historical traditions.
