Several Bujinkan Daishihan are located very near the Honbu. You should be a member of the Bujinkan to visit the Honbo home dojo. The honbu used to be open for drop in training, but now it only allows access by special arrangement with senior Bujinkan sensei.
The Honbu is currently NOT open to the public. Hatsumi is NO longer training general student sessions. To train at the Honbu Dojo you should be a member of the Bujinkan. Usually, training visitors are accompanied by their sensei. However, there are several Bujinkan dojos near the Honbo where you may inquire about their training schedule.
Notice that the new location of the Honbu dojo is near the Kotohira Shrine. When you recall that this martial arts master is already in his mid-eighties, you can only be amazed by the nimble way he carries himself. Even more baffling is that at no time does Hatsumi seem to be using much physical strength. The flow of his body is smooth and precise. How did the sensei acquire such technique? His explanation is philosophical and profound. My movements are the result of long training to achieve that skill.
This level of control is something that cannot be completely explained by logic alone, nor is it something you can comprehend just by watching it once. My deshi are all accomplished martial artists who have been training for decades. The reason they continue to practice here is because they know that perfection is not so easily achieved. What first led him to walk the path of the martial artist and to pursue it to this level of achievement? That was where I saw with my own eyes Japanese black belt holders being taken out time after time by completely novice foreign fighters.
I realized then that all the martial arts I had studied so far were useless in the face of such physically powerful opponents. I thought to myself that here, at last, was the real thing.
I became his deshi , and over the course of long years of training and discipline, my own martial arts slowly transformed into something real. I am only here today because of my sensei. Almost every week Hatsumi would take the overnight train from Noda to Kashihara, Nara Prefecture, to practice. Instructed in the inner arts of nine schools of ninjutsu, including the Togakure school, by his master, Hatsumi resolved in his late thirties to establish the Bujinkan and begin training the next generation.
In his fifties, he started taking his training abroad. Over the next 25 years he travelled to more than 50 countries around the world, from the United States and Europe to the Middle East, Africa, and South America. In fact, you could say that ninjutsu is a forte of the human race as a whole. Today Hatsumi is said to have as many as ,—some even say ,—former and current students scattered around the planet.
Takamatsu Sensei is considered by authorities as the "last true combat ninja. Three of these nine schools represent traditional Ninpo Ryu Ha "formalized teachings" whereas the other six are derived from the fighting skills utilized by Samurai during periods of warfare. All nine schools of martial arts are collectively sustained and taught under the umbrella term of "Budo Taijutsu," as coined by Hatsumi- Sensei , in today's Bujinkan Dojo.
Because these traditions were developed in times of real combat, the martial art remains alive and relevant for modern self-protection.
