IMPORTANT NEWS – NEW TRAINING CENTRE
Hello all,
Our new training centre looks fantastic. It has a real wow factor.
Training will remain at Narellan up to and inclusive of Tuesday the 31st of January 2012.
As of Wednesday the 1st of February 2012 we will be in the new training centre:
5/14 Bluett Drive Smeaton Grange.
See you there.
The 2012 Bujinkan theme will be “Katana"
The katana (刀?) is one of the traditional Japanese swords (日本刀 nihonto?) worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan, also commonly referred to as a "samurai sword"
Ninjutsu is an old system with roots deep in Japan's history. Today, Ninjutsu is practised around the world under various master teachers and in various schools. Bujinkan Ninjutsu is headed by Soke Hatsumi who was taught by Takamatsu Sensei.
There are teachers worldwide who can pass this art on to you if you have the will and the tenacity to stick with it. If possible, you should also consider training in Japan.
Ninjutsu is not a sport. It is for self defense on the street or in the real world. Ninjutsu uses strikes and kicks to kyusho (pressure points) while setting up for joint locks, immobilizations, or throws.
Ninjutsu uses principles of leverage, angling, and physics, instead of brute force. There are many problems with "brute force" because there will always be someone bigger or stronger out there. In order to subdue an attacker larger than oneself, he or she will have to use the principles of leverage, angling, natural body mechanics, and pain points.
A basic Ninjutsu concept is rolling. This makes for safer training. Also, in the self defense arena, if you are pushed or fall while defending yourself, you’ll quickly return to your feet. Furthermore, rolling is a very effective way to escape joint locks and throws.
Unlike many styles, kicks, punches, and other various striking methods are not typically the "end all" to a confrontation. Kicks and punches in Ninjutsu, are generally viewed as tools to provide an entrance for advanced grappling. To end a confrontation, one will either walk away or move in to perform joint locks and throws (grappling) or other various taijutsu methods. Ninjutsu uses a great deal grappling techniques.
The traditional system is made up a nine styles (or ryu ha’s) of martial arts. In essence, we study and train on nine different martial arts at the same time. Generations ago, they were taught separately. Now they are under one heading called the International Bujinkan Dojo, (of Noda shi, Japan). Under the direction of the 34th generation leader (soke), Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi.
Our goal is to train members of our society to protect themselves. A background interview may be conducted for official acceptance into this training. This is just one way of "screening" potential students. This is done to make sure that we do not train people that may use this art for the wrong reason. Furthermore, people that work in law enforcement (local, state, or federal) and military personnel have always been, and are welcomed to train. Ninjutsu techniques have been proven highly effective by various organisations from Military Special Ops units to local law enforcement.
Traditional Ninjutsu also trains with an extensive array of weaponry. Finally, the techniques learned should only be used for self defense.
