About the International Bujinkan Dojo
The International Bujinkan Dojo, based in Noda
City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, was created by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi as a vehicle
to teach these nine ryu (schools) of traditional Japanese martial arts passed
to him by his teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu.
These nine ryu emphasize natural and efficient
combat methods that have been carried down through centuries of actual personal
and battlefield combat experience. Collected as they are, these systems
provide comprehensive skills in all aspects of personal protection. It is
this comprehensive approach to the training, coupled with an appreciation for
the ever-changing elements of self-defense situations, that allows the
practitioner to create their technique based on the principles and framework of
the Bujinkan arts.
Unlike Karate-do, Aikido, Judo, Kendo, and other
modern forms of Japanese martial arts, the Bujinkan arts are not
sport-oriented. Our focus is toward self-improvement through the practice
of practical self-protection skills and the perpetuation of these combat
systems as they have been passed down through the ages.
These 9
martial traditions are as follows:
Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu
Koto Ryu Koppojutsu
Shindenfudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu
Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu
Gikan Ryu Koppojutsu
Kukishinden Ryu Happo Biken
Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu
Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu
Gyokushin Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu
Keith Weaver holds the rank of Yondan (4th Degree Black Belt) and is a member of the International Bujinkan Dojo Shidoshikai (Instructor's Guild).
His Bujinkan training began in 1988. He has trained with many American, Japanese, and Canadian Shidoshi. He currently works in healthcare.
