This month
Well here we are again with another issue of
Gambatte ne. Sony about being late with this
issue but I had / have too many things on the go
at one time and had to prioritize my obligations.
Hopefully things will calm down by next month
and next issue can be sent out in a timely
manner.
Expose
In this section we will introduce you to many of
the Bujinkan's top (and a few of the lower
ranked) instructors. Sensei you might not have
heard about and individuals you might want to
know a little more about, as well as historical
figures ftom our different ryu.
Peace man!

-One of the secret attributes of the Shinden Fudo
Ryu is the "Principle of Nature" .
-in The
ryu ori!inated by Genpachiro Temeyoshi
the mid 12 century. It is traced back to
Koshijutsu which was introduced by Izumo
Kanja Yoshitero". - NinjaSubmission
-Kuki, Takei ftom the Kuki family of Kukishin
ryu, was also ftom the Shinden Fudo Ryu.
-Takanaka, Tetsunoke, senior student ofKano,
Jigoro (the founder of Judo) was at one time a
student at the Shinden Fudo Ryu dojo.

Soke speaks
"(When asked why we should train with a
technique that nearly exposes our backs to our
opponents) "/fyou learn these techniques, you
will not be surprised by other opponents or by
people using similar techniques against you. "
Soke Masaaki Hatsumi

Taken ftom "Quotations From Soke Part IV"
by Benjamin Cole
-Kuden (oral transmission) says that the yari was
taught to Izumo (the founder) by Tengu
(mountain goblins), and that these techniques
still remain a secret to these days. The school
uses several different types ofYari, Ono (war
axes), O-tsuchi (war hammers), and Naginata.
Hojo jutsu (art of tying someone with a rope) are
used alongside the Taijutsu to help restrain the
opponent.
-The school specialized in Jutaijutsu Gujutsu)
and lainuki (fast sword drawing)
-Takamatsu
sensei started training in Shinden
Fudo ryu at Toda sensei's dojo when he was nine
years old.
-Shinden Fudo Ryu's techniques suit small, old,
weak persons very well.

The five rules of the dojo
Dakentaijutsu
1. To know that patience (endurance)
comes first.
Ten No Kata: The heaven forms
2. To know that the way of men is justice.
3. To renounce avarice, indolence and
obstinacy
4. To recognize sadness and worry as
natural, and to seek the immovable
heart.
5. To not stray from the path of loyalty
and brotherly love, and to delve
always
deeper into the heart of budo.
Observing the 5 rules above is the law of
the dojo.
Written at New Year, Meiji 23 (1891)
Toda, Shinryuken Masamitsu
The school has two styles oftaijutsu:
Dakentaijutsu and Jutaijutsu, each with its own
sets of techniques. Here is a basic breakdown of
the two different fonns.
Dakentaijutsu
- In this section are no stances - Shizen no
kamae represents the "natural posture" and holds
no fixed fonn. A characteristic of this ryu can be
found in its recognition of natural style as the
only posture of defense. However, in reality, a
person imagines a posture of defense in his mind
and places himself on guard.
- One uses trees and rocks to practise striking
with the hands or tearing with the fingers, one
grabs and crushes or grabs and holds. Also
kicking the bamboo trees while walking
naturally without stopping is called Take-ori keri
(breaking bamboo kick). Throws are also
practised by bending or breaking the trees.
- It is important to land on the feet when being
thrown, especially when wearing swords.
- Striking and kick an opponent should be done
ftom their blind angles (blind spots).

The Bugei Ryuha Daijiten lists the soke slightly
differently from the list provided by Hatsumi
Sensei, and is missing the 17th and 18th soke.
Toda Shinryuken Masamitsu, the 24th soke, was
a samurai, and a master in the Bikenshin Ryu.
He was also a sword instructor to the Tokugawa
Shogunate. He was Takamatsu Sensei's
grandfather, and operated a dojo that had a
plaque above the door, which read: "Shinden
Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu".
This was the first style that Takamatsu
Sensei learned from Toda Sensei.

(Noguchi-sensei's
to kiri-age, don't
comment)
bend
"If you are trying
your elbows. Otherwise
your sword will point downward. Rather, extend
you arms. "
"After the kiri-sage, there is no need to remove
your swordfrom their body to do the tsuki.If
it's already in their body, leave it there. Just
twist and thrust... If you hit a rib, just twist your
blade to lay itflat, and then thrust all the way
through. "
"When you go to do a kiri-age, be mindful of
your tsuka. It could get in your way. So you
need to remember to either push it away with
your elbow, or hold it close with the inside of
your arm. It all depends on the situation. "
"You could also push your tsuka straight back
with your elbow like this. (Soke is standing in
Hasso no kamae, which means that his left
elbow is infront of his body, and thus his
forward-pointing tsuka. Without losing his
stance, he places the inside of his left elbow on
the open end of his tsuka, and pushes it straight
back) It's a real shame, but many people who
are involved with creating 'jidai-geki' (samurai
movies, etc.) do not know such techniques. If
they were to see this one, they would be
extremely surprised... You can't see itfrom the
front; you have to look from the side. It
certainly looks cool, don't you think?" (Yes, I
must admit. It did.)
"You can hold the sword at many different
heights in hasso. It can be up high or down low,
depending on the space you have to work with...
If it is down low, for example, you must make
your kiri-age cut tighter to your body. "
"The line of the cut, the distance, and the
direction are all very important. "
~
Takamatsu, Toshitsugu
(Someya-sensei) "I was cut on my finger last
year and the sword just slid right through it.
Being cut with a sword is like being shocked by
electricity. Keeping that in mind, you can see
how with the first cut (the kiri age), you can
actually open a person up for the kiri sage cut
on the otherside."

Book I Video review
Here we will review books and videos/movies on
the ninja and samurai arts.
This month we will feature a short review on the
DVD titled "Koga Ryu Ninjutsu", by Juan
Hombre.
-----
KOGA RYU
NINJUJI"SU
~"U-
~'''J
of the recording was done in the general
headquarters ofKoga, within the house of Ninja,
or in the gardens, filled with secret traps in
which the most advanced students of this style
train. In these two martial works you will learn
the Art of empty hands techniques and the use of
the main weapons that are part of the traditional
Ninjutsu, ninjatos, shaken, shuriken, etc."
Myopinion: What a piece of work this one is!
Here we have another charlatan trying to rid
people of their hard earned money by claiming to
be "the only authorized Koga ninja in all of
Europe". I really pity the poor folk who spend
money raining with people like this guy only to
see they have been scammed and can't defend
themselves in any kind of a situation. Watching
the video was like watching martial arts ballet.
Sort of.. .Just about every technique the guy
demonstrated was off balance, sometimes
stumbling as he performed his kata, and his
sword cutting techniques would hardly scratch
one let alone cut an opponent. There are so
many people claiming to be legitimate Koga
ninja, yet no one can give a ryu other than Koga
ryu, and none of the styles resemble each other, I
wonder why...Hmmmm? Good for a laugh,
that's about it.
Flying shuriken rating.
o shuriken!
It would be lower but we don't go any lower
than zero.
"Quick Overview"
Here is the description taken from the video
itself:
"The warriors of the shadows want to return to
the scene, but this time with more aceuracy. Two
Ryu who have traditionally been rivals IGA and
KOGA have brought their outstanding
representatives to formalize and come to an
agreement so that they can avoid old errors. This
is something that Juan Hombre will speak about
in this article in which he presents his latest
works on video; they are the first ones in which
the systematic teaching of the Art of combat of
the Koga School will be seen as it is nowadays.
He is the only person authorized in Europe to
represent thisfoeus of traditional Ninjutsu. Part

Renowned Ninja Expert

and Tending His Flock

Interview by Josh Sager
Translation by Ben Jones
Photos by Jim Manley
June 1998 issue of Black Belt Maf!azine reprinted with permission
In the 1980s, the ninja boom hit the United
States like a hurricane. It seemed like everyone
wanted to learn how to throw smoke bombs and
then disappear, how to infiltrate enemy
fortresses, and how to don a black hood and
sneak around in the dark. Almost overnight,
numerous self-proclaimed grandmasters of
ancient ninja sects seemed to come out of the
woodwork for a chance at sharing the sp()tlight.
While most of these "instructors" were striving to
cash in on the booming sales of throwing stars
and climbing claws, afew were content to
practice their art and work toward perfecting the
skills of their students. There were the people
who ended up weathering the storm and
surviving into the 1990s. Masaaki Hatsumi is
one of those ninja authorities, and the martial
arts community still holds him in high esteem.
The following interview was meant to let the
world know what the ninja master has been up
to.
At the 1997 US Tai Kai, Hatsumi (right)focused on
thejo, the 4-foot long staff taught in many Japanese
martial arts.
BB: How has the art evolved since Takamatsu
Sensei passed it on to you?
MH: It has not evolved. It's just alive. It has just
survived. Its like two things being the same; they
seem to be changing, but they are keeping the
same form. Isomorphism. Many people talk
about evolution, and there was a time when the
theory of evolution was all the rage. But what is
actually underneath human life has not evolved
at all; it has not changed. That's why they have to
train, they have to reflect on their own actions,
they have to do penance. That's why I say, "What
is a dojo?" Its not someplace where you should
aim to become strong. It's a place for penance, a
place to reflect on what you've done. And to live
like a true human being. So people shouldn't
misunderstand what a dojo is about. They
shouldn't have any illusions. A dojo isn't
something with a concrete form. Every day is a
dojo, wherever you are.
BLACK BELT: It's been almost 15 years since
you started coming to the US to teach. What
changes have you seen in the way Americans
train?
Masaaki Hatsumi: At the time I first came,
there was a ninja boom. Everybody thought that
-
Ninjutsu was something mysterious
something
bad. And I have gradually corrected this.
Ninjutsu is really a genuine martial art. That's the
one reason why I changed the name from Ninpo
Taijutsu to Budo Taijutsu. They are one and the
same. Ninpo is a form ofBudo Taijutsu.
"""
A man o/many talents, Ninjutsu expert Hatsumi
is also an accomplished brush painter.
10
BB: How do you believe the practitioners of
Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu are representing your
art?
MH: Its not something new. In the old days, it
was like this. It's just that there weren't any 11th
dan holders before.
MH: Jack [Hoban] is a perfect example. Ask
him because he is far better at expressing the art
in an American way than I am. You can't express
it in Japanese in an American way. Jack will
BB: In what direction do you see the art going
in the future?
speak ftom his heart about the art
--in an
American way. Because in him you have the
genuine article who will transmit to you my
blessed teachings. So even when I am back in
Japan, you can continue to ask Jack.
MH: It doesn't matter if it doesn't develop
further. It doesn't matter ifthere is only one good
person in the art -- that's enough. If there is just
one fine person, then that's the meaning. We
don't need many people. It's like in America,
where you have President Clinton just the one
president. That's all we need.
--
BB: We often hear you say that the martial arts
are about love and protecting life, yet the general
perception of the arts is one of violence. How do
you make the differentiation?
MH: It's just the things that any normal, serious
person has to do in life. If you study a martial art
that's a bit strange, it's wrong. Then you become
like a wild beast.
BB: What's the most rewarding aspect of
teaching your art?
MH: Ifpeople look at nature, they think it's
beautiful. People who've got this genuine nature
of humanity see something beautiful and say,
"That's beautiful -- I want to protect it." And if
you talk about the evolution of the martial arts,
that's where the arts need to evolve
--with that
kind of attitude.
BB: Do you see any differences between how
Ninjutsu is interpreted here in the US and how
it's interpreted in the rest of the world?
MH: It's the same.
BB: What would you like the people who come
to the Tai Kai to walk away with when it's over?
MH: I would like people to leave behind all the
bad [aspects] of themselves so their heart can
become lighter.
~~~~~
,~r.;pt9~~'W.j'-';
,~
Despite his 66 years, Hatsumi (left) proves that
when it comes to wielding weapons, he can
still move like a teenager.
BB: Can you explain the reason why you hold a
Tai Kai event every year?
MH: To allow people to know about my martial
art a little better. That's why I travel around the
world.
BB: Why did you decide to add the 11th degree
black belt to 15th degree black belt ranks to your
system?
Like any other martial art's weapon, the jo
should be treated as an extension of the body,
Hatsumi says.
