NinjutsuNinjutsu evolved and developed as a way of life for the survival of a Japanese people culturally opposed to the ruling Samurai class of the day. With a traceable history of 1000 years the Ninja were most notable for their skills and activity during the Japanese Civil War periods of the l3th-l6th Centuries. All martial arts were stripped of warrior significance when peace came to Japan in 1868 (Meiji Restoration) but the teachings of Ninjutsu went underground and was brought to modern times by the 33rd Grandmaster, Toshitsugu Takamatsu. As the lore of the Ninja were passed down to the 34th Grandmaster, Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi (Dr. Hatsumi is classed as a living treasure in Japan), Ninjutsu was made available to the Western World for the first time in the 1970s. It came to the U.K & Europe in 1983.
The Bujinkan Brian Dojo (BBD) was established in 1985 as an International body to teach the skills of Ninjutsu in the traditional Japanese manner. From its Hombu Dojo (headquarters) in Dublin, Ireland, the BBD holds regular training camps and courses throughout Europe and has a network of Dojos (clubs) throughout Europe. All blackbelts undertake regular training with their Chief instructor. All practitioners of Ninjutsu and all other martial arts, whether beginners or experts, are welcome to any of these events. The BBD is committed to the spread of authentic Ninjutsu by High Grade teaching of physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the art and maintains the highest standards within the martial art community.
