Bujinkan Kushin An Dojo

Bujinkan Kushin An Dojo The Bujinkan Kushin An Dojo is committed to disseminating the martial arts of Soke Masaaki Hatsumi.

Hatsumi-sensei was the grandmaster of 9 separate ryuha (schools) of budo, and has recently passed on those ryuha to his senior students. The Bujinkan Kushin An Dojo is committed to disseminating the martial arts of Soke Masaaki Hatsumi, the grandmaster of 9 separate ryuha (schools) of budo that originated between the 11th and 17th centuries in Japan. Many of these methods of combat were perfected

during the Sengoku period (戦国時代, c. 1467 – 1573) in Japanese history marked by social upheaval, political intrigue and near-constant military conflict that is also known as the Warring States period. It came to an end when all political power was unified under the Tokugawa shogunate. These schools went underground and therefore were not subjected to the pacification of traditional Japanese martial arts during the Meiji Reconstruction of the 1860's. They resurfaced in the early 1970's when Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi opened the doors of his Bujinkan Hombu Dojo to the world. Shidoshi Ron Bergman began training in the Bujinkan in 1987, and has received permission to open and teach Soke's arts as the Bujinkan Kushin An Dojo. The schools of martial arts combat taught are:

Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu (attacks targeting the musculature system)
Koto Ryu Koppojutsu (attacks targeting the skeletal structure)
Kukishinden Ryu Happo Biken (battlefield combat)
Shinden Fudo Ryu Jutaijutsu (grappling)
Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu (grappling)
Gikan Ryu Koppojutsu (attacks targeting the skeletal structure)
Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu (subterfuge and espionage)
Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu (subterfuge and espionage)
Gyokushin Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu (subterfuge and espionage)

“It's important to make an effort under any circumstance - stagnant, sickness, being in an unstable lifestyle, even when society is insane. You should consider such periods as an omen before you move. When you are stuck on something, it is important to hold to your purpose but not press onward against the current. When you can't move at all, try to concentrate, continuing forward as if in a boat switching to a stronger motor. The keiko that is most important when you cannot move is kage no keiko [shadow training]."

There are those that only think of fighting when looking for a martial art. The truth is, if this is all you search for, you will never become a martial artist. You may become a fighter, however, how will that help you for your entire life?
Martial arts is everything beyond fighting and techniques. To be able to sincerely reach this stage of understanding through years of practice is to gain a maturity that most never achieve.

Being a martial artist is a person searching for the truth behind the smoke and mirrors. One must persevere with the heart of the Shugyosha ( austere practitioner ) to truly become and live as a martial artist.

Yaoyorozu no Kami (八百万の神, Eight Million Gods) is a term referring to Kami ( spirits/deities ) in Shinto. The phrase "eight million gods" in Shinto religion does not mean that there are exactly eight million gods. It means there are too many gods to count. At the time that ‘infinity’ was not a known concept and eight was a lucky number in Asian culture, it was also used in many other phrases such as Yatagarasu.

The Kihon Happô (基本八法型 Eight foundation forms) of the Bujinkan Dōjō has the same meaning. The Kihon Happô gives rise to infinite possibilities, of which are too many to count and thus can be considered the root of all Budô.
