Course Description
Bujinkan Ikari Dj Online () presents a beginner foundation for ninjutsu, the martial arts of the ninja. Ikari Dj (Majestic Hall ) is affiliated with the Bujinkan organisation (Divine Warrior Temple ). The Bujinkan teaches Bud Taijutsu (Classical Martial Arts of the Way of War ) and is based in Noda, Japan, and headed by grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi. The Bujinkan teaches nine traditional Japanese martial arts schools including: Togakure-ry Ninp Taijutsu () [Hidden Door School]Gyokko-ry Kosshijutsu () [Jade Tiger School]Kuki Shinden Happ Bikenjutsu () [Nine Fierce Gods School]Koto Ry Koppjutsu () [Tiger Felling School]Shinden Fudo Ry Dakentaijutsu () [Immovable Heart School]Takagi Yoshin Ry Jtaijutsu () [Willow Heart School]Gikan Ry Koppjutsu () [Virtues Paragon School]Gyokushin-ry Ry Ninp () [Jade Heart School]Kumogakure Ry Ninp () [Hidden Clouds School]Beginner foundation for ninjutsu (shinhenjutsu shoden ) is part of the the Bujinkan Unified Fundamental Curriculum (Touitsuteki Kihon Katei [TKK]) and is a general curriculum made up of multiple modules to prepare students for the practice of the nine schools of the Bujinkan. The TKK contains foundational basics for the three general aspects of the Bujinkan; taijutsu, jujutsu and ninjutsu. It also prepares students with specialist modules for further training in preparation for the denshou (transmission ) of the nine schools. This course is part of a sub-section of the TKK called 'body, mind, spirit' (Taishinki ) designed to prepare a student physically, mentally and spiritually for the practice of the nine schools of the Bujinkan. Taishinki includes nine modules focusing on developing physically and mentally for martial arts training.
The Taishinki is split into three general areas, 'body changing methods' (Taihenjutsu ), 'mind changing methods' (Shinhenjutsu ), and 'spirit changing methods' (Kihenjutsu ). Taihenjutsu are body development methods that focus on muscles, skeletal structure and nerves. Shinhenjutsu are mind development methods focused on willpower, flexibility and agility. Kihenjutsu are spirit development methods that focus on breathing, circulation and mindfulness. Together these three areas promote the development of the martial artist for the successful practice of the physical and mentally challenging activities in martial arts.
Taishinki modules are split into three levels; beginner level (shoden ), intermediate level (chuuden ) and advanced level (jouden ). Shoden modules are designed for solo practice. Chuuden modules involve paired exercises and techniques. Jouden modules are practiced by a group of three or more people. The idea of these modules is to develop personally, but also to practice leadership skills to empower others and understand the dynamics of groups and teams.
The module levels of the Taishinki correspond to module levels of the other courses in the TKK. Shoden courses in the Kihon Katei assume prerequisite knowledge and practice of shoden courses in the Taishinki. This also applies to chuuden and jouden modules in the Kihon Katei.
Taishinki is only a training guide and baseline; students should continue to explore training systems to improve their physical and mental health.

I'm an 8th Degree black belt in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu under Dr. Hatsumi Masaaki; the last living Ninja. The Bujinkan is an organisation and that teaches the martial arts of the Samurai, Ninja and Sohei (Warrior Monks). I've been training martial arts for 24 years. Ifirst started withJudo and trained until Iwas 18, then started Japanese jujutsu and ninjutsu, which I have been training ever since.
Irun my own dojo in Brisbane, Australia and travel to Japan yearly to train with Dr. Hatsumi at the Honbu Dojo (Main Branch). I have also previously lived in Japan to train Ninjutsu and Japanese martial arts.
My background is in business and communications, but Ihave served in both the Army and Navy as a Rifleman and Warfare Officer respectively. Ihave studied cyber-intelligence and counter-terrorism, but gradually migrated over to business intelligence and data analysis after I completed my degree.
Ihave been involved with martial arts for most of my life and consider it part of who I am. It influences how I live and its principles guide my actions. I wouldn't be who I am today without having trained in the martial arts.
To me martial arts is more than a hobby, its a way of life.
