We Cover It All
From the old days training of Ninpo Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Togakure teachings and Ten Chi Jin (Heaven, Earth, Man) to Juppo Sessho, weapons, and the more modern Budo Taijutsu. From the Art of Awareness to Combat Ninjutsu.
Why be limited, or study just one aspect of the arts? Soke's Bujinkan has offered many different teachings from many schools, and that training has changed and evolved as he has. Doshi Richard Van Donk has codified over 40 years of Bujinkan study into a complete University Course that gives you the full spectrum of Hatsumi Bujinkan teachings.
We will NEVER offer less!!
BINDERS + ONLINE
You Get BOTH
When you enroll in a Bushindo University Course you get BOTH the physical course Binder manual (no disks) and the Online Dojo complete video / manual training in the Bushindo University portal, so you will always have the latest teachings for life.
The Online Dojo has all the video lessons and manual PDFs, viewable on any computer and on the phone / tablet app. Plus you will be mailed the physical course Binder so you can hold it in your hands, read it, make notes, and add related studies.

A MESSAGE FROM DOSHI
For Instructors and Students
TO BUJINKAN INSTRUCTORS
Are you really as educated as you should be? Need lesson plans or teaching guides? Do you know the names of the techniques?
It is amazing to me, as I teach around the world, how many instructors and students do not know what Omote Gyaku Ken Sabaki is, or how to do Ude Jime Ashi Ori if you ask them. They often know the technique but not its name, while their students do.
That may be okay for a student at the beginning of their training, but it is never okay for a teacher. Many students read books and watch DVDs that their teachers do not. The less educated teacher often gets upset when students ask questions they can't answer (and often blame me for providing the education, lol). Students get frustrated and leave because they feel something is missing.
I get it. The Bujinkan arts, with so many schools, are extremely comprehensive, and they have not been shared in a structured way. It took me 30 years and 50 trips to Japan studying with Soke Hatsumi and other Japanese Shihan to map out and codify the teachings into a great Bujinkan resource library. I knew not everyone would have the chance I had to study with Soke, so I worked hard so that you could have this wealth of hard-to-get knowledge for yourself.
In the Bujinkan Masters Course you will learn the Japanese names of the techniques, with written step-by-step instructions, picture sequences and complete video instruction. You will learn the waza of Gyokko Ryu, Shinden Fudo Ryu, Takagi Yoshin Ryu and more. One day, if not now, you will share the arts, so we map out how to be a great Shidoshi in the Teachers Training Course. Plus advanced Budo Taijutsu methods and mastery concepts from a dozen great instructors.
Our teachings are open to members of any Bujinkan dojo affiliation, no matter their rank or status. We have brand new students and senior Judans purchasing this course, and we have never had a return on a Masters Course.
TO BUJINKAN STUDENTS
Want to accelerate your learning curve? Have a 24/7 go-to source for all your training? Never run out of material to learn?
I am an ALL-IN type of guy when I decide to do something. If it is worth doing at all, it needs to be done well and without compromise, especially if I am going to spend a lot of my time doing it. I want all the information I can get on a subject so I can master it. If you are like me, this course may be for you.
The Bujinkan Ninjutsu–Budo Taijutsu Masters Course is the result of me going ALL-IN for over 40 years to study with my teacher, Soke Masaaki Hatsumi, in Japan, taking endless notes and doing massive research to codify his Bujinkan teachings. These are my own study materials, and I offer them to you in an ALL-IN-ONE package.
Everything you need to study to achieve Godan, 5th degree black belt with IBDA (you add the training and testing). It includes my Shidoshi Teacher Training Course, advanced weapons training, and even my own personal training notes on the original Shidoshi teachings, the Ten Chi Jin (Heaven, Earth and Man).
Whether you study in a dojo, at home or in the park with friends, this University-level course will give you a strategic roadmap to your training goals, with an invaluable Ninjutsu / Budo Taijutsu library at your fingertips.

Please Excuse My Passion.
I love these arts that I have dedicated my life to. I worked very hard to create this body of knowledge for you, and I, and others, know that what is inside it is life changing. Maybe this is exactly the opportunity you've been looking for, and maybe it is not, but either way I thank you for checking it out.
I really think this is a GREAT OFFER, one I hope you cannot refuse. I understand it is a big commitment and it is not for everyone. But it may be for you. You may just want to jump on it and wrestle it to the ground. That's how I am, and I know there are many others like me who want nothing less than the Bujinkan Ninjutsu–Budo Taijutsu Masters Course.
When I started in this art, almost NO study material existed except for a couple of books in Japanese and the Shidoshi Scrolls given only to a handful of Godans. I made many (over 50) trips to Japan to study with my teacher, Ninjutsu master Masaaki Hatsumi, and his senior Shihan instructors. I bought everything he ever produced and studied it. I filmed a hundred videos of him, much of which will never go on the market.
Our Ninjutsu Black Belt Home Study Distance Learning Course is the world's authentic original Ninjutsu training course. Many of the world's Ninjutsu masters started with this very course or added it to their studies, and several have even tried to make their own. But they do not come close to having the complete Ninjutsu system that we do. If you are going to invest your time in learning something like this, you would rather be a member of an authentic, Japan-certified system with a complete Ninjutsu Masters Course, like the International Bujinkan Dojo Association (IBDA).
This is the most complete Bujinkan study system in the world. Don't just believe me, check it out yourself!
IBDA teachings offer you a lifetime of study in a step-by-step, exciting progression of learning.
