Can anybody help me with this please.
In the Bujinkan, we've got this weapon art, called "hikenjutsu" or "happô biken".
But sometimes you can see "bikenjutsu" as well as "happô hiken". As far as I was told on the Bujinkan board, the "bikenjutsu" and "happô hiken" would be quite wrong. It would be "hiken" but changed into "biken" behind the "ô", a little similar to the "hô" which changes into the "pô" in "ninpô".
This makes sence to me and I've accepted it as being correct. But still there are people who say that the four forms are correct and used in Japan...
Anybody any idea?
