We start learning the movement material of Ninjutsu with Tai jutsu, that is, bare-handed practice, and then we learn to use weapons based on this.
That is why our martial art system was named Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Tai means body, Jutsu the art, which suggests that a properly prepared body will act in a coordinated, precise, but at the same time free manner during a fight, for efficiency.
During training, we emphasize the correct, straight posture and the leg-hip-arm sequence when performing the movements. Illustrating through an example, when performing a punch, we call not only the strength of the arm, but first the leg moves, then the hip, and finally the energy of movement reaches the arms through the spine and thus a punch is created, the power of which is backed by the mass of the whole body .
In Ninjutsu, we don't learn techniques, we learn principles. We do not practice for good technique, but for the correct interpretation and implementation of the principles. The result of the correct application of principles is good technique.
Taijutsu /Ninjutsu's bare-handed techniques/ should not be about winning or losing, it should serve life and our existence. Otherwise, we can easily become addicted to the form." - Soke Hatsumi Masaaki
There are three parts to Tai Jutsu.
Daken Tai Jutsu, which includes punches, kicks, defenses. These can be done from any angle or direction. The goal is to use the most effective technique possible in the given situation. We can use all parts of our body as a hitting surface, since we use the energy of our entire body. With our punches, we not only fight against the attacker's physicality, we also affect his body through his consciousness. For this, we use attacks and defenses placed in appropriate places. Ju Tai Jutsu includes various twists, stretches, keys, throws, and counter techniques to them. Taihen Jutsu is the "art of body modification". These include dodges, steps, jumps, falls, falls, rolls.
The three parts together make up the movement material of Ninjutsu. They complement each other. The student must understand the basic principles of all three areas in order to use Ninjutsu.
Since Ninjutsu is a martial art, the techniques are practiced on realistic attacks and life-like situations. This includes, for example, that the student must also fall flawlessly on the concrete, as there are rarely tatami (carpets) on the street.
