The Bujinkan Dojo was founded by Masaaki Hatsumi and principally teaches the nine schools of traditional martial arts he inherited from his teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu.

Each of these martial arts schools has it's own particular characteristics and contains techniques for use with and without weapons.
