The Bujinkan (Warrior Spirit Training Hall or House of the Divine Warrior), or more properly the Bujinkan Dōjō(武神館道場,Bujinkan Dōjō) is a martial arts organization. It is headed and operated by sōkeMasaaki Hatsumi (初見良昭 Hatsumi Masaaki), who learned from Toshitsugu Takamatsu (高松寿嗣 Takamatsu Toshitsugu). The Bujinkan Hombu Dojo the Bujinden is in Noda just outside Tokyo. Bujinkan dōjō can be found all over the world.
The Bujinkan Dōjō method is named Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu (武神館武道体術)
It is a collection of nine martial arts (ryūgi), some of which are or were at some point also family lineages (ryūha). The art was previously called Bujinkan Ninpō Taijutsu and before that it was known under the more generic name of ninjutsu - many serious practitioners of the art today avoid this name as it has acquired something of a bad reputation there. One thing associated with ninjutsu is the throwing of shuriken and although it is part of the curriculum of some ryūha, it is very much a small facet of a much larger system.
