Years ago at the Shidoshi-Kai, Hatsumi Soke spoke about the True Treasures of the Bujinkan. He charged each and every Shidoshi to abide by and pass on these 6 treasures [六法の宝].
1.基本八法型 (Kihon Happo) - the eight foundational techniques (practice daily)
2.三心の型 (San Shin; GoGyo) - the five elemental techniques (practice daily)
3. 無刀捕 (Muto Dori) - disarming the armed opponent; disarming the person them self
4.空間 (Kukan) - control the space, control the opponent
5. 女の護身術 (Onna no Goshinjutsu) - women’s self defense; control without the use of power
6. 共同体 (Kyo Doutai) - Building relationships/communities in Budo (strive for in our daily lives, especially Bujinkan seniors)
