ABOUT our ART

"Traditional Teachings that Last a Lifetime"

Rarely do you encounter a martial art as diverse as ninpo taijutsu. Taijutsu includes striking similar to karate, throws and sweeps, similar to those found in judo and aikido, the joint manipulation and leverage of jujutsu, traditional weaponry, and more! Developed over 900 years ago, taijutsu incorporates the warrior traditions of the samurai and the ninja into one of the most comprehensive self defense platforms available.

Taijutsu builds around the idea that the majority of altercations begin with a single grab, push or strike. As a defensive martial art, taijutsu provides hundreds of variations on how to take control and end these types of altercations. Yet, all of these options stem from just a handful of basic, natural movements.

Taijutsu does not rely on brute force to overpower an opponent but it should not be confused with softer forms of martial arts. The power and effectiveness of taijutsu comes from the practitioner’s balance, posture, and utilization of their core, rather than superior strength or conditioning.

Our students learn the finesse of negating an opponent’s force and balance by using exacting technique and are often surprised that their most effective movements often feel effortless.

Our curriculum includes the Traditional Japanese patterns as well as open-ended, self-defense scenarios designed to reinforce spontaneous, practical defensive skills for an ever challenging world.

The Ten-Chi-Wa Bujutsu Kan system applies an application based strategy and teaches students to move from center with confidence and strategic responses to any situation. Understanding the essence of each pattern allows our students to tap into any number of options and possibilities rather than relying on a memorized answer.
