What is Ninjutsu?

Ninjutsu (忍術) translates as the “art of perseverance.”

While a relatively modern term, it refers to the skills and methods of the Ninja that occupied the Iga and Koga regions during  feudal Japan.

We are part of the Bujinkan (武神館) founded by Masaaki Hatsumi.

The Bujinkan studies nine lineages that trace back to feudal Iga. The training is comprised of philosophy and strategy, hand-to-hand combat, and various weaponry.
