About the Bujinkan arts:

Bujinkan Ninjutsu has evolved and developed through the centuries laying down not just fundamental movements but also universal philosophies.

The forms and movements have been transmitted from generation to generation via written scrolls for 900 years, but the way to use them is passed verbally and there has been an unbroken line of grandmasters for 34 generations.

Dr Hatsumi is the Grandmaster of all the 9 Ryu (schools) in the Bujinkan.
