Within the martial art of Budo Taijutsu, we study the armed and unarmed combat techniques of Ninjutsu and Bujutsu. Our Ninjutsu heritage includes Koshijutsu, Koppojutsu, and Ninpo Taijutsu. Our Bujutsu, i.e., our Samurai martial arts heritage, includes Jutaijutsu (a type of Jujutsu aka Jujitsu, Jiujitsu or Jiu-Jitsu), Dakentaijutsu and Happo Bikenjutsu (includes 6ft staff, 4ft staff, 3ft staff, sword — katana and wakizashi, jutte, spear, halberd, shuriken ). These techniques originated and developed in Japan over a 900 year period, passing from Grandmaster to Grandmaster until present day. The current lineage holder of this wealth of Japanese heritage is Grandmaster Dr Massaki Hatsumi.
