I'd like to ask a question about BBT and fighting on the ground or once on the ground. Note that I don't mean groundfighting (in the sense of wrestling or BJJ), but instead dealing with the...
Thanks everyone for the replies. I am finding them pretty informative and an interesting way of categorizing the various things I've been learning in BBT in my head :) I have another question - if...
Well, my intstructor hits like a bull, even when he's just tapping. I think it can be described as a heavy hand - kind of like a hammer will land with a thud even if you're not really swinging it. ...
In BBT, I've been told to strike with the weight of the whole body moving as a unit behind my punch. That is, not so much a torque in the hips, but more like walking, a naturaly forward motion of...
OK, that's a weird header but didn't know how else to phrase it.
Is there a preferred order in which the ryus are taught (say from brand new newbie to some dan level - let's say 5th)? Or are all...
Does anyone know of or recommend any traditional jujutsu schools near Pasadena or Glendale in Los Angeles? Thanks.
Does anyone know of any judo schools/clubs in Burbank, CA or nearby there? Thanks.
Thanks, but that site mainly refers to Okinawan history and warfare. And the type of shield I was thinking of was more long the lines of what you'd find in European/Middle Eastern arms and armor...
Were shields used in ancient Japanese warfare? I have been looking/reading about JMA and warfare in old Japan and I have not really seen any mention of the use of the shield anywhere. If not, then...

Hi, are acrobatic or gymnastic type training done by any of you in relation to Bujinkan? I don't mean acrobatic fighting techniques (jumping spinning flipping kicks and the like), but more along the...
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but:
Has anyone here had an opportunity to see/study Japanese knife fighting skills (e.g. tantojutsu from whatever ryu) and Filipino knife...
Just wanted to start by saying that I'm a realtive noob to BJK and it's been a real blast learning this new art.
But I have a couple of questions that I am hoping to get some input on. How is...
Well, that's my question :) When did the different schools come together - was it at once in one person, or were the different traditions added on to a certain school line over the centuries?

Hi, I'm a relative new comer to BJK but have been doing Chinese arts for some time. I was wondering if there are aspects of BJK that does anyhting like the Qigong and internal power training that...
Hi, I've been doing Bujinkan for a few months now and have done aikido for some time before taking up Bujinkan. I was just wondering if I could get opinions/thoughts from some of the more...
I was wondering if Bujinkan Taijutsu had, well, for lack of a batter way of explaining it, "themes" in the body movements, especially the footwork. I guess what I have in mind is if there is an...
