This book is a comprehensive guide to understand the Taijutsu of the Bujinkan system as taught by Masaaki Hatsumi Soke. We have this concept of Shu-Ha-Ri which is three major processes to learn Budo. First, we learn the fundamentals, then how to break them up. Then you transcend to a state where you are totally free without even thinking of what you are doing. Needless to say, you can’t get to the last stage without knowing the first stage well. It is said that you should study each level for at least 10 years. This book is all about the first stage we call Shu. It is further divided into three levels.

BACKGROUNDThank you for your interest in Bujinkan Budō-taijutsu!
This is not a self-study course, it is really necessary for you to have a qualified instructor to help you. The purpose for this book is to be a tool to help your progress. You will learn names and principles here, and the correct movements from an instructor that can point out bad angles, distance, timing etcetera.
This is a collection of techniques I think black belts in the Bujinkan system should at least be familiar with, and teachers should know by heart.
The layout of the techniques here is from Ten-Chi-Jin Ryaku no Maki, Shidōshi scrolls. Togakure-ryū Ninpō-taijutsu, an out of print book, and numerous publications and videos by Hatsumi Sōke.
This is not an official Bujinkan guide line, book, study material or what you want to call it. It is something I worked on for 35 years and ongoing, it is my legacy to my students. If other teachers want to endorse it or follow it, thank you! If someone doesn’t agree, that’s fine to, by all means release your own better version. This was made to students and friends from many nationalities that bought my videos, attended my seminars and showed interest in my way of teaching over the years.

Errata for the First edition v3.0 (Released May 2018)
-
- p.42 JŪMONJI … Move the right foot back to Kōsei no kamae. Zanshin.
(I forgot why I wrote Hōi no kamae, couldn’t find the source so I changed back to Kōsei) - p.49 TAIHENJUTSU MUTŌDORI got the wrong kanji, it should be 体変術無刀捕型
- p.79 OMOTE. With your left thumb and ring finger… Grab his left Hoshizawa with the right hand…
- p.81 URA. (Not wrong, but I switched left to right so it matches the picture).
- p.83 MUSŌ-DORI …His left wrist is trapped with your left arm, the left Shutō is covering his elbow,
- p.92 YUME NO MAKURA. (Not wrong, but I switched left to right so it matches the picture).
- p.105 RYŌTE. (Not wrong, but I switched left to right so it matches the picture).
- p.145 ŌKYO. Should be a left Shitō-ken.
- p.162 YŪDANSHA. I got the wrong kanji, it should be 雄段者 which means Man, male or husband. In this context I would say all grown up black belt.
- p.42 JŪMONJI … Move the right foot back to Kōsei no kamae. Zanshin.
Please write a review what you think about the book, I really appreciate that! Thank’s Norman for your kind words.

This book is a guide for beginners in the Bujinkan Dojo. Everything about the rules and expectations of you as a pratctitioner, etiquette and traditions as well as the most fundamental techniques in our beautiful art.
- 天略の巻 TEN RYAKU NO MAKI (The scroll of Heaven)
Here we learn to move the body naturally and effectively. Essentially how to become a good Uke (receiver of techniques). When Hatsumi Soke’s own teacher Takamatsu Sensei started training over 120 years ago as a young boy he was thrown around the Dojo by the seniors for a year before he was taught any techniques. This gave him a good foundation for the next level.
