The Bujinkan is an international organisation originating from Japan with teachers and students based all around the World, founded in 1974 by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi the current Soke (Grandmaster) of the Bujinkan Taijutsu Dojo.

When Hatsumi received the Soke’s of nine separate schools, the Soke created the Bujinkan System to honour his Sensei by created the Syllabus Known as the “Ten Chi Jin”, where students learn the foundation skills of Bujinkan Taijutsu.
