武神馆【关于武神馆 】 武神馆是日本古武术的的道场。修练忍术，传授正宗的忍者技术和精神修炼。 武神馆由知名忍术宗家初见良昭大师（Masaaki Hatsumi）创建。
现在有50多个国家有其道场，超过300万学员学习与修炼。
武神馆的武术是以实战著名，门徒中有世界各国的军人及员警相关人士，初见宗家是向被称为“蒙虎”， 历史上已知最后的真正的忍者高松寿嗣学习并成为门徒， 经由15年的紧凑修行，于1958年（昭和33年）初见大师继承了9个忍者流派。 初见良昭宗师于1970年在日本千叶县野田市建立了武神馆道场。
武神馆的武术修行，除了使用许多武器练习，也包含一般古武术不会训练的 手枪使用技巧及对手枪的武术，以防身术而言相当受到国外文化的青睐与人气。 忍术的九个流派： 户隐流忍法体术、 玉虎流骨指术、 九鬼神传流八法秘剑术、 虎倒流骨法术、 神传不动流打拳体术、 高木扬心流柔体术、 义鉴流骨法术、 玉心流忍法、 云隐流忍法。
【历史】 我们武道的起源于2500多年前的“中国及其以外的土地”，有些记录可以追溯到4300年前。 自从智人第一次出现以来，用棍棒和石头打斗的方法很可能就存在了。 传说在公元前600年左右，忍者已经出现。一些老道克曼人还说，肖托库王子（公元前574-622年）使用了忍者。 唐朝（公元618-907年）有两个中国人，叫姚玉虎和张武生，把他们的武术带到了伊加山区（今天的志贺县）， 在那里他们教授当地人武术，其中包括Hichōjutsu和Senban nage。 另一个传说告诉我们，易苟将军从中国战败中逃到阿提斯岛，藏身于伊加附近的萨达山洞，练习禅修。 易苟是一位名师。经过几代人，这些教义形成了不同的武术流派。 在20世纪初，高松寿嗣从三位大师那里学习了全部九所学校（甚至更多）。 他有很多学生，但在他生命的尽头，他只剩下一个真正的学生，那就是初见良昭， 他把他的先生的名字改为Masaaki（相同的汉字，但发音不同）。 初见良昭在高松师父处学习了15年，学到了很多东西，1968年，他被高松师父任命为九所学校的下一任宗师。
很久以前，我是一个有成就的武士的科普ōjutsu传统。 即使在与危险动物的战斗中，我也很勇敢，像火焰一样强烈。 我的心就像草地上的野花， 却又像竹子一样挺拔真实。 即使是一万个敌人也不能让我害怕。 世上有谁能保持勇士的这种意志？ 给你。 这是勇士神寄给我的。 我在这里等你很久了。 高松先生于1972年4月2日去世，享年85岁，而初见良昭（Masaaki Hatsumi） 成为了我们在武神馆道场九大流派（学校）的主人。
武神馆进入西方国家 在1970年第一本关于忍术的英文书（安德鲁亚当斯的《看不见的刺客忍者》）之后，第一批西方人开始接触鸠山由纪夫。 来自以色列的多伦·纳文1969年就已经找到了初见良昭，1974年，他在初见良昭接受了五年的训练后回家， 并在以色列特拉维夫开设了日本以外的第一家道场。
大约在同一时间，斯蒂芬·海斯从美国搬到日本接受训练，他搬回美国，并于1980年将布武神馆绍给美国人。
石冢先生是日本武神馆的师范之一，1974年应Bo Munthe的邀请到瑞典度蜜月进行短暂访问， Bo Munthe次年访问日本两周，并第一次见到初见良昭并接受了训练。 他拿到了黑带一段后然后回家，在Ischizuka sensei的监督下，允许在斯德哥尔摩开一个道场。
80年代初，西方出现了一股“忍者热潮”，每个人都想成为忍者。“忍者”和“忍术”这个词被广泛有效地使用， 因为它是很多人想要的，而且很容易得到很多很多学生。但是真的没有人能教多少忍术。 因为人们想学习忍术，初见良昭在所有的学校都以户隐流忍术为名授课。 后来它被称为Bujinkan dōjō Ninpō-taijutsu（武神馆道场忍法体术）， 直到1995年初见良昭宗师将它改为Bujinkan dōjō budō taijutsu（武神馆道场武道体术）。
在日本的训练，在70年代是非常艰苦的，因为初见宗师很难为高松的遗产感到值得去教，他说， 他花了30年的艰苦训练才觉得值得（15年的训练和另一个15年的艰苦训练测试风格的有效性）。 他训练太刻苦以致生病了。西方的训练在80年代也很艰苦，但是由于另一个原因，艺术还很年轻， 每个教书写书的人都只有几年的艺术经验。技术的缺乏往往使训练变得危险和暴力，导致许多不必要的事故。 今天西方的艺术更成熟，水平更高。但是，还有很多东西要向初见宗师和师范们学习。 如果你选择一年中的任意一个日期，大约有50-100名外国人在日本接受初见宗师（Hatsumi sōke）的培训。 这并不意味着日本以外的训练不好，相反，它确实很好。到处都有很多好的教练，但是如果你想用最好的来训练， 你还是得去日本。
现代日常使用与实践 古老的技术、原则和感情在今天仍然有效！武神馆制度被教导适应我们现代社会的平民自卫，也适用于特种部队、警察等。 初见宗师教授了来自世界各地警察、特种部队和机构的人，他们可以证明，即使在今天，他教授的东西仍然非常实用和有用。
一个非常重要的事情，使Bujinkan独特的是，你不需要学习每一个武器有作为一个单独的艺术。 武神馆系统教会我们如何有效地使用手中的任何物品。 看起来并不壮观。它看起来不美。 如果技术好的话，你甚至看不到发生了什么。很多时候接受这项技术的人不知道发生了什么。 也许即使是做这项技术的人也不知道或者无法解释。这是一种不切实际的感觉，很难解释。 有ると思ったら無い；無いと思ったら有る。 这是初见宗师最喜欢的一首诗，意思是：如果你认为它在那儿，它就不在那儿；如果你认为它不在那儿，它就在那儿。 这可能很难理解，但如果你认为你理解的话，你可能就不理解了。 初见宗师曾多次说过，隐形训练是在黑带五段考试之后开始的。 所以，即使你在Youtube上看过视频，觉得这是胡说八道，也请访问武神馆的师范，尝尝他们的艺术。 利用你的直觉，不要用Youtube上的坏例子来评判我们，不要因为你不理解而评判我们，或者得到充分的感受。 很多事情你需要感觉才能理解。
在日本武神馆学习 如果你是一个初学者，我建议你开始在一个当地的道场，在一个合格的师范门下训练，直到你达到至少黑带一段（约2-3年的艰苦训练）。 在这之前没有必要去日本。 日本总部道场的训练水平很高，这就要求你对基础知识了如指掌。 事实上，你不需要去日本，直到你拿到黑带四段（至少8年的艰苦训练）。
英文原文： The Bujinkan is most commonly associated with ninjutsu. However, Masaaki Hatsumi uses the term Budo (meaning martial way) as he says the ryūha are descended from historical samurai schools that teach samurai martial tactics and ninjutsu schools that teach ninja tactics. Budō-taijutsuThe art that we in Bujinkan dōjō practice is generally called Budō-taijutsu. But there is many different arts in the Bujinkan system. For example, Jūjutsu, Jūtaijutsu, Dakentaijutsu, Koppōjutsu, Kosshijutsu, Ninpō-taijutsu, Yoroi-kumiuchi. These are all unarmed combat systems both with and against yoroi (armor) and of course also without armor. All the styles are slightly different from each other with different focus on how to handle combat situations.Then there is also many, many weapons taught in the curricullum. Weapons such as knife and swords of various lengths, sticks and staffs of various lengths, pole arms, spears, big heavy battle weapons, flexible weapons such as ropes and chains, and also projectile weapons such as throwing spikes and stars. In the traditions there is also knowledge how to use explosives, guns, cannons etc but this is not really practiced anymore. The Bujinkan organization incorporates the teachings of the martial arts lineages (ryūha) that Masakki Hatsumi learnt from Takamatsu Toshitsugu under the banner of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. These are Togakure-ryū Ninpō Taijutsu (戸隠流忍法体術)Gyokko ryū Kosshi jutsu (玉虎流骨指術)Kuki Shinden Happō Bikenjutsu (九鬼神伝流八法秘剣術)Koto Ryū Koppō jutsu (虎倒流骨法術)Shinden Fudo Ryū Dakentai jutsu (神伝不動流打拳体術)Takagi Yoshin Ryū Jūtai jutsu (高木揚心流柔体術)Gikan Ryū Koppō jutsu (義鑑流骨法術)Gyokushin-ryū Ryū Ninpō (玉心流忍法)Kumogakure Ryū Ninpō (雲隠流忍法) Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu training does not include participation in competitions or contests as the school's training aims to develop the ability to protect oneself and others using techniques that focus on disabling an attacker (&/or removing their desire/ability to continue) as efficiently as possible. This training is conducted in a manner in which there are predefined "attackers" (uke) and "defenders" (tori) similar to drills in judo (gokyo) or traditional Japanese martial arts. However, the Bujinkan differs from many traditional martial arts in that the training progresses through the following stages: --Predefined sets of movements (kata) and physical conditioning--Variations to the fixed drills (henka), responding to changes in the attacker's movements or situation--Free form training (randori) consisting mostly of spur-of-the-moment, dynamic techniques during which the defender hits, locks, chokes or throws the attacker in a controlled and safe manner--More advanced training consists of controlling the attacker's mind using various techniques such as pain compliance and deception Training is done in a manner that entails little risk of permanent injury. The Bujinkan does not adhere to any official guideline or set of rules to limit actions or techniques used during training. The approach used in the Bujinkan includes gaining compliance through pain and utilising potentially damaging techniques in order to survive dangerous situations rather than focusing on winning a competition or evenly matched duel. As a result many of the staple responses of a Bujinkan student would be inappropriate in most competitions. The Bujinkan largely focuses on “taijutsu” (body movement / skills) ; happo biken jutsu (various modern and traditional weapons) and ninjutsu (ninpo tactics and strategies). Taijutsu Taijutsu (body arts) is the Bujinkan system of unarmed defence using strikes, throws, holds, chokes and joint locks. It encompases skill such as: koppo jutsu is the "way of attacking and/or using the skeletal structure"; “koshi jutsu” is the way of attacking muscles and weak points on the body; jutai jutsu is the "relaxed body method" teaching throwing, grappling and choking techniques and dakentai jutsu which emphasises strikes, kicks and blocks The first levels of training, such as leaping, tumbling, break fall techniques and body conditioning, form the basis for taijutsu. They are needed to progress into other techniques such as unarmed combat and the use of tools and weapons. Once learned, Taijutsu techniques can be applied to any situation, armed or unarmed. Tori and Uke Training begins with two partners practicing pre-arranged forms (waza or kata) and then advancing to unlimited variations of those forms (henka). The basic pattern is for the Tori (Tori, or the person applying the technique) to initiate a technique against the person who receives the technique (Uke, or the person receiving the technique). Ukemi and balance Bujinkan taijitsu seeks to use body movement and positioning rather than strength to defeat the opponent. All techniques in Bujinkan taijutsu involve unbalancing the opponent while maintaining one's own balance. This is achieved by moving the opponent into inferior positions and manipulating their body along weak lines where it is difficult for the opponent to resist. The attacker continuously seeks to regain balance and cover vulnerabilities (such as an exposed side), while the defender uses position and timing to keep the attacker off balance and vulnerable. In more advanced training, the attacker will sometimes apply reversal techniques (返し技 kaeshi-waza?) to regain balance and disable the defender. Ukemi (受身) refers to the act of receiving a technique. Good ukemi involves a roll or breakfall to avoid pain or injury such as dislocation of a joint. Thus, learning to roll and breakfall effectively is key to safe training in taijutsu. Before receiving the 9th kyu (the lowest rank), a student must demonstrate the ability to roll smoothly in a variety of directions without exposing the neck to injury. Weapons Weapons use is among the 18 disciplines taught in the Bujinkan: ken (sword), kodachi (short sword), jutte (sword breaker), tessen (iron fan), kabuto (helmet breaker), bō (long staff), jo (4 foot staff), hanbo (half staff), yari (spear), naginata (halbred), shuriken (throwing blades), kusarigama (sickle and chain), kusarifundo (weight and chain), kyoketsu shoge (dagger and chain), ono (war axe) tetsubishi (caltrops), tanto (dagger), shuko (hand claws), ashiko (foot spikes), metsubushi (blinding powders), and kayaku (the use of firearms). Some types of weapons in the Bujinkan have more than one type, such as the shuriken. Historically, there are two main types of shuriken, hira shuriken (flat blade) and bo shuriken (straight blade). The hira shuriken are also called shaken and senban shuriken; these types of shuriken are flat multi-pointed plates and blades which can have from three to as many as eight points. Some different styles of hira shuriken are Sanko Gata (3 pointed triangular), Juji (cross shaped), Manji(swastika shaped), and Kumi Awase (a cross shaped folding shuriken). The bo shuriken can be round or flat, thick or thin, and come in many different styles such as straight and round with a single point, round and pointed at both ends, flat pointed at one or both ends, as well as types such as Hari Gata or needle shaped, Tanto Gata or knife shaped, Yari Gata or spear shaped, and Empi Gata or swallow shaped shuriken. There are also many types of swords used in the Bujinkan such as Ken, Katana, Tachi, Odachi, Wakazashi, Kodachi, Nadachi, Shikomizue, and Tanto. There are also many different types of Yari or spears. Long bladed, short bladed, and long or short bladed with single or double hooks or blades flaring out to the sides. Physical conditioning Junan taiso (junan meaning flexible) is a yogic method of stretching and breathing by means of which the Bujinkan practitioner may develop and maintain good physical condition and wellbeing. The exercises promote relaxation, blood circulation, muscle toning and flexibility, and form a core part of all training sessions. Junan taiso is a form of conditioning and preparation for the body. All major joints are rotated and stretched in a proper manner while healthy breathing and concentration are practiced. Our systems way of training: According to Bujinkan members, Ninja Jūhakkei (the eighteen disciplines) were first identified in the scrolls of Togakure-ryū 戸隠流, or "School of the Hidden Door", founded during the Oho period (1161–62) by one Daisuke Nishina (Togakure), who learned a life view and techniques (ninjutsu) from Kagakure Doshi. Togakure ryu Ninjutsu Hidensho is a manuscript in Hatsumi's possession that is said to document Togakure-ryū. It is the purported origin of the "18 skills of Ninjutsu." Ninja jūhakkei was often studied along with Bugei jūhappan (the 18 samurai fighting art skills). Though some techniques were used in the same way by both samurai and ninja, others were used differently by the two groups. The 18 disciplines are: Seishinteki kyōyō (spiritual refinement)Taijutsu (unarmed combat)Kenjutsu (sword techniques including Tojutsu)Bōjutsu (stick and staff techniques)Sōjutsu (spear techniques)Naginatajutsu (naginata techniques)Kusarigamajutsu (kusarigama techniques)Shurikenjutsu (throwing weapons techniques)Kayakujutsu (pyrotechnics)Hensōjutsu (disguise and impersonation)Shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods)Bajutsu (horsemanship)Sui-ren (water training)Bōryaku (tactics)Chōhō (espionage)Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)Tenmon (meteorology)Chi-mon (geography) The name of the discipline of taijutsu (体術), literally means "body skill". Historically in Japan, the word is often used interchangeably with jujutsu and many others to refer to a range of grapplingskills. It is also used in the martial art of aikido to distinguish unarmed fighting techniques from others, such as those of stick fighting. In ninjutsu, especially since the emergence of the Ninja movie genre, it was used to avoid referring explicitly to "ninja" combat techniques. History The origin of our budō comes from “China and the lands beyond” more than 2500 years ago, some records go as far back as to 4300 years ago. Fighting methods with sticks and stones have probably been around since the homo sapiens first appeared. The legends say that 忍の者 Shinobi no mono (poularly called ninja) was involved “behind the scenes” in ōkume no Mikoto’s nation-bulding operations andEmperor Jimmu’ssubjugation of Yamato around 600 BC. Some old dokuments also say thatPrince Shotoku(574-622 BC) used Shinobi. During the T’ang dynasty (618-907 AD) two persons from China named Yao Yu Hu and Zhang Wu Sheng brought their martial arts to the mountain regions ofIga(today Shiga prefecture) where they taught the locals Hichō-jutsu and Senban-nage among other arts. Another legend tell us the story about General Yi Gou who fled from military defeat in China and landed atIsewhere he hid in the Sada caves close to Iga and practized Zen meditation. Yi Gou was a master of Hichō-ongyō-jutsu. After some generations these teachings formulated into different ryū-ha (schools) of martial arts. In the early 1900’s 高松寿嗣 Takamatsu Toshitsugu learned all nine schools (and more) from three masters. He had many students but at the end of his life he had only one true student left, and that was Hatsumi Yoshiaki who changed his sir name to Masaaki (same kanji but different pronunciation). Hatsumi sōke trained with Takamatsu sensei for 15 years and learned everything, in 1968 he was appointed to be the next grandmaster for all nine schools by Takamatsu sensei. The following poem was written by Takamatsu sensei to Hatsumi sōke. Long ago I was an accomplished warrior of the Koppōjutsu tradition. I was courageous, and as intense as a flame, Even in battle against dangerous animals.I have a heart that is like the wild flowers of the meadow, And yet as straight and true as the bamboo.Not even ten thousand enemies can cause me fear.Who is there in the world who can keep alive this will of the warrior’s heart?There you are.This one sent to me by the Warrior Gods (武神 = Bujin).I have been here waiting for you through the ages. Takamatsu sensei died on April 2, 1972 at the age of 85 and Masaaki Hatsumi became the head master of the nine ryū-ha we have in the Bujinkan Dōjō. Introduction of Bujinkan to the westIt was after the first book in English about Ninjutsu (Ninja, the invisible assassins by Andrew Adams) in 1970 when the first westerners started to get in contact with Hatsumi sōke. Doron Navon from Israel had already found Hatsumi sōke in 1969, he went home after five years training with Hatsumi sōke in 1974 and opened the first dōjō outside Japan in Tel Aviv, Israel. Around the same time Stephen Hayes from USA moved to Japan for training, he moved back home to USA and introduced Bujinkan in 1980 to the americans. Ishizuka sensei, one of the Japanese Shihan was invited by Bo Munthe to Sweden on his honeymoon in 1974 for a short visit, Bo Munthe visited Japan the following year for two weeks and met and trained with Hatsumi sōke for the first time. He then went back home with 1’st Dan and was allowed to open a dojo in Stockholm under supervision of Ischizuka sensei. In the early 80’s the big “ninja-boom” came in the west and everyone wanted to be a ninja. The word “Ninja” and “Ninjutsu” was widely used effectively because it was what many people wanted and it was easy to get many, many students. But there was really not much Ninjutsu taught. Hatsumi sōke was teaching from all schools under the name Togakure-ryu Ninjutsu because the people wanted to learn Ninjutsu. Later on it was called Bujinkan dōjō Ninpō-taijutsu until 1995 when sōke deiced to change it to Bujinkan dōjō Budō-taijutsu. The training in Japan had been very tough in the 70’s as sōke was struggling hard to feel worthy for the legacy of Takamatsu sensei, he said that it took him 30 years of hard training to feel worthy (15 years of training with Takamatsu sensei, and another 15 years of hard training and testing the effectiveness of the style). He trained so hard that he got sick. The training in the west was also hard and tough in the 80’s but for another reason, the art was still young and everyone teaching and writing books only had a few years of experience in the art. Often the lack of technique made the trainings dangerous and violent wich resulted in many unnessesary accidents. Today the art here in the west is more mature and the level is much higher. But there is still a lot more to learn from Hatsumi sōke and the shihan. If you choose a random date anytime of the year there is around 50-100 foreigners training with Hatsumi sōke in Japan. This does not mean that the training is bad outside Japan, on the contrary it is really good. There is many good instructors everywhere, but if you want to train with the best you still have to go to Japan. Modern day use and practiceThe techniques, principles and feelings from the old is still valid today! The Bujinkan system is taught to suit our modern day society for self defence for civilians, but also for special forces, police etc. Hatsumi Sōke have taught people from police, special forces and agencies all around the world who can testify that what he teach is still very practical and useful even today. One very important thing that makes Bujinkan unique is that you don’t need to learn each and every weapon there is as a separate art. The Bujinkan system teach us how to use whatever object we have in our hands effectively. It doesn’t look spectacular. It doesn’t look beautiful. And if the technique is good you can’t even see what happened. Many times the one who received the technique don’t know what happened. Maybe even the one who did the technique don’t know or can explain it. This is the feeling of a Bujinkan technique, something that is very difficult to explain. 有ると思ったら無い；無いと思ったら有る。 (aru to omottara nai – nai to omottara aru)This is one of Hatsumi Sōke favourite poems and it means something like; If you think it is there, it is not; if you think it is not there, it is. This might be very difficult to grasp, but consider if you think you understand you probably don’t. Hatsumi Sōke have said many times that the invisible training starts after the 5’th Dan test. So even if you have seen videos on Youtube and think it looks like bullshit, please visit one of the many Shihan in Bujinkan and taste our art. Use your gut feeling, don’t judge us by bad examples on Youtube, don’t judge us because you don’t understand, or get the full feeling. Many things you need to feel to understand. Study Bujinkan in JapanIf you are a beginner I recommend you to start training in a local Dōjō under a qualified Shidōshi or Shihan until you have reached at least 1’st Dan (about 2-3 years hard training). There is no need to go prior to this. The trainings in Japan is on a very high level which requires that you know the basics well. In fact you don’t need to go to Japan until you are a 4’th Dan (at least 8 years hard training). |
