Dr Masaaki Hatsumi (above photo) - Soke who is now the 34th grandmaster of the Togakure Ryu Nin-po, started the Bujinkan Dojo. Along with this, he studied techniques and philosophies of eight other ninjutsu schools to which he carries the title of Soke.

As a result of this, Dr Masaaki Hatsumi - Soke decided to dedicate his Ninjutsu teachings in one complete system, broken into nine schools of Ninjutsu, giving practitioners who begin their studies, a complete range of ninjutsu teachings and philosophies in nine systems. He called his Ninjutsu Dojo, the Bujinkan Dojo.

I recommend any one who is seriously thinking about ninjutsu training, undertake training in the Bujinkan Dojo system. We at Kobudo-no Ninjutsu Australia can help you find a school close to your location world wide, just go to our quest book at the exit page and fill in the spaces provided.

All instructors under the Bujinkan Dojo or left the Bujinkan and ventured on their own, are all internationally licensed, qualified instructors and internationally recognized, even within other Japanese Ninjutsu Schools within Japan.

The Bujinkan Dojo rank structure is broken into two (2) parts. The first part is known as "KYU" ranks and the second part is known as "DAN" ranks. Kyu Ranks are the beginning ranks, which every one starts of on. This rank consists of nine (9) different levels. Each level is recognised by a series of Three (3) different colour belts and 3 sets of different coloured stars.
