Bujinkan Guidelines
1. The Bujinkan shall be open to only those who agree with and uphold the guidelines of the Bujinkan Dojo.
Those not doing so shall not be allowed to join. Specifically: Only those who have read and agreed with these guidelines shall be allowed to participate.
2. Only those able to exercise true patience, self-control, and dedication shall be allowed to participate.
A physician’s examination report shall be required. Specifically, individuals with mental illness, drug addiction, or mental instability shall be barred from joining.
The necessity of such a report concerns individuals who may present a danger to others, for example, those with infectious diseases or illnesses, individuals with clinically abnormal personalities or physiology, and individuals lacking self-control.
3. Individuals with criminal records shall be turned away. Trouble makers, those who commit crimes, and those living in Japan who break domestic laws shall be turned away.
4. Those not upholding the guidelines of the Bujinkan, either as practitioners or as members of society, by committing disgraceful or reproachable acts shall be expelled. Until now, the Bujinkan was open to large numbers of people who came to Japan.
Among them, unfortunately, were those committing violent drunken acts, the mentally ill, and trouble makers who thought only of themselves and failed to see how their actions might adversely affect others.
Through their actions, such people were discarding the traditional righteous heart of the Bujinkan. From this day forward, all such people shall be expelled.
5. Regarding accidents occurring during training (both inside and outside the dojo), one should not cause trouble to the Bujinkan. This is an extremely important point. Those unwilling to take personal responsibility for accidents occurring during Bujinkan training shall not be admitted.
Reiterating for clarity, the Bujinkan shall not take responsibility for any accidents happening in the course of training, regardless of the location.
6. All those joining the Bujinkan must get an annual membership card. This card not only preserves the honour of the Bujinkan members, it indicates you are part of a larger whole–one whose members come together with warrior hearts to better themselves through training and friendship. It evinces the glory of warrior virtue, and embodies both loyalty and brotherly love.
7. The tradition of the Bujinkan recognizes nature and the universality of all human life, and is aware of that which flows naturally between the two parts:
● The secret principle of Taijutsu is to know the foundations of peace.
● To study is the path to the immovable heart (fudoshin).
Recently, the Bujinkan has become truly international. Just as there are various time zones, so exist various taboos among the world’s peoples and nations. We must respect each other, striving to avoid such taboos.
We must put the heart of the warrior first, working together for self-improvement and for the betterment of the Bujinkan.
Those not upholding the above-mentioned guidelines shall be forced out of the Bujinkan.

HISTORY
Masaaki Hatsumi
Hatsumi was born in Noda, Chiba on December 2, 1931. He heavily participated in sports during his school years, along with martial arts and theatre, including becoming “captain of the football team”.
While attending the Meiji University, he continued learning judo and eventually rose to Yudansha or Dan rank.
He also began teaching Judo during his time at the university to American soldiers at the nearby Yokota Air Base.
After graduating, Hatsumi began to search for a teacher to further his study of martial arts.
He began his Kobudo training under Ueno Chosui. When he was 26 years old he met Ueno’s teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu, known as “the Tiger of Mongolia”.
Hatsumi was accepted as Takamatsu’s student and spent fifteen years on Honshu Island learning various ninjutsu styles from Takamatsu and other members of the Takamatsu family, also he continued to learn judo, Shito Ryu karate, aikido, and kobudo.
Takamatsu died in Nara, Japan in 1972 after advancing Hatsumi from student to Soke and bestowing on him “all the art of the nine schools”, and of course the grandmaster’s scrolls, three of which he indicated were ancient ninja schools and six samurai jujutsu schools of martial arts.
Hatsumi went on to found the Bujinkan Dojo in Noda, Japan to teach the nine schools to other students.
His first trip to the United States was in 1982 and he has since continued to participate in yearly Ninjutsu Tai Kai (gathering) around the world.
Hatsumi also worked as a Seikotsu (bonesetter) after his graduation and was chairman of the Writers Guild of Japan at one point in time.
He was the writer of a martial arts magazine Tetsuzan, which was distributed in 18 countries.
Takamatsu Toshitsugu
Takamatsu Toshitsugu was born on March 10, 1889 in Hyogo Prefecture Japan.
At the age of nine he began studying the martial arts, and mastered the various styles from his grandfather Toda Shinryuken, Ishitani Matsutaro, and Mizuta Yoshitaro Tadafusa.
Takamatsu Sensei was already an accomplished budoka by the time he was a teenager, having won challenge matches against other martial artists and sumotori.
As a young man in his twenties he retreated to the mountains of Kobe to continue his rigorous physical and spiritual practice.
After leaving the mountains he soon moved to China, and for the following 10 years he encountered many life and death situations in true fighting.
He reportedly fought many strong Chinese martial artists in mortal combat and used his budo to defend himself against even wild animals.
In 1919, after mastering the combat arts, Takamatsu Sensei returned to Japan in order to master spiritual studies.
He became the head monk at a mountain temple of esoteric Buddhism in the Yamato district.
In the 1950’s he taught martial arts in Nara prefecture; in 1957 he met Hatsumi Yoshiaki and groomed the young man to become the successor to his rich martial arts legacy.
Referred by Hatsumi Sensei as the "last true combat ninja", the venerable Takamatsu Toshitsugu passed away in May of 1972, at the age of 84 years.
