Bujinkan Densho Ninja Scrolls

Spiegazione di tutte le tecniche delle 9 scuole di Bujinkan Ninjutsu

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is a highly effective martial art, with roots in the mystical arts of the ninja from medieval Japan.

The techniques ("kata") of the nine Bujinkan schools have survived centuries of war on the battleground and were composed into a modern martial art system by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi.

Bujinkan is a complete martial art system with hitting, blocking, throwing, landing, rolling, locks, strangling, controlling, dodging, pressure points, body movement, and so on.

It also includes training for mastering all kinds of weapons, from the ninja swords, to the famous ninja stars ("shuriken"), but also knifes, sticks, spear, naginata, chain, and much more.

For the first time all these techniques can now be found in one place: the Bujinkan Densho Ninja Scrolls app.

This app includes :

- the names of each kata

- the descriptions as found in the densho scrolls (if made public)

- training notes explaining some techniques in more detail

This app contains all known techniques of the following schools taught in the Bujinkan martial arts system :

- Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu

- Gyokushin Ryu Ninpo

- Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo

- Koto Ryu Koppojutsu

- Gyokko Ryu Kosshijutsu

- Kukishinden Ryu Happo Bikenjutsu

- Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu

- Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu

- Gikan Ryu Koppojutsu

Starting in the Bujinkan can be an overwhelming experience due to the large scope of techniques and weapons taught. This app will help you understand the overall structure of the system.

The app allows you to browse the kata grouped as in the scrolls and to quickly look up a specific technique for reference when training, or just out of curiosity.

And remember, as Soke says: "don't be a kata collector, just keep on training !"

Contents disclaimer :

The information presented in this app is based upon my personal training and research, with great help from public sources (mentioned where appropriate) and has not been verified by, nor received the approval of Hatsumi Soke. This is my personal interpretation of what I learned through the years of training and research in the wonderful world of Bujinkan.

This app aims to give a clear description of all known techniques, but it will not go into every possible detail of the movements, intentions, feeling, oral transmission etc. as it is not meant to be a training manual nor an instruction book. To learn this you will need to train in a licensed dojo.
