In an ever-increasingly violent and unpredictable world, where the future is uncertain and your security is not guaranteed, it is vital and comforting to have the skills bred of a thousand years of mortal struggle to free you from the worry and unrest of the fearful. For this purpose, Bujintech International was formed. Our primary mission is to spread the teachings of Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi and the nine martial art traditions of the Bujinkan Dojo.
Proven in combat on ancient battlefields, these martial systems are every bit as viable today as they have been in the past. Spawned from the need to be effective regardless of youth, speed or physical strength, these arts are ideally suited for women as well as men, young or old. We teach people to defend themselves, to survive to succeed and to excel.
Beyond this, our goal is not only to remain current with the teachings of the Bujinkan, but also to anticipate the future needs of our clientele.
Terence Allen wrote an article for the October 1997 issue of Black Belt magazine entitled "Martial Arts in the 21st Century." In that article he made "10 Predictions For The Industry's Next 100 years."
Mr. Allen foresees that a rise in crime rates will bring record expansion as an unprecedented influx of students, particularly children, older adults and women, flock to the martial arts to learn self-defense skills. Self-defense preparedness training will become one of the most popular pastimes in the world of the 21st Century.
Because of the serious need for qualified instruction, students of tomorrow will tend to question things that veteran practitioners take for granted, such as the martial arts background of their instructor. According to Allen, frauds will be detected and prosecuted on a much more active basis in the next century. For this reason, training facilities will need to be staffed and operated and regulated as never before.
You never have to worry about the quality of instruction at Bujintech International. We are affiliated with one of the oldest and largest Ninjutsu organizations on the Western Hemisphere and our lineage can be traced and verified all the way back to feudal era Japan. Our Japan licensed instructors have dedicated a great part of their lives to the warrior traditions you will learn and their credentials can be verified through the American Bujinkan.
Allen predicts that there will be a continued growth of eclectic combat systems. These hybrid arts are expected to continue to develop and expand worldwide. Cross training will become routine and more martial arts schools will offer instruction in several styles instead of just one.
For one low fee, Bujinkan training offers 9 families of martial arts all under one roof. In fact, our Ninjutsu traditions contain what many believe to be the forerunners of modern day grappling arts Judo, Jujitsu and Aikido as well as containing empty-hand (karate) and weapons (kobudo) training in their undiluted forms as they were meant to be taught for battlefield proficiency.
In his article, Allen also states that not only will there be an increasing interest in non-Asian and hybrid martial arts but, at the same time, he expects a resurgence of traditionalism. To counter the eclectic movement, classical instructors, who believe that the older styles and methods are still the most effective, will guard against what they see as a dangerous trend toward the extinction of ancient martial practices.
At Bujintech, you get the best of both worlds! Our training regimen combines traditional combat strategies with contemporary tactics and a combination of old and new training methods. We strive to provide a positive and motivational environment for our clients, while offering a traditional, professional school that they can take pride in.
The future is unknown. No one can tell with any amount of certainty exactly what will happen. We can however, take little steps, every day, to prepare for any eventuality. The sense of satisfaction that flows from being prepared and the peace of mind it brings is the ultimate reward, for it allows us to move through life unencumbered by fear, doubt and uncertainty.
"By opening his eyes and his mind, the ninja can responsively follow the subtle seasons and reasons of heaven, changing just as change is necessary, adapting always, so that in the end there is no such thing as surprise for the ninja."
