Chris Parker said - I've gone through this for years, and asked for any examples of actual ryu-ha transmission and teachings in the Bujinkan... I haven't seen it in any way at any time... including in Japan. Teaching from the ryu-ha? Yes. Teaching the ryu-ha themselves? Not at all. And, again...

Elninjo said: This is because in the early days (1980;s to early 1990’s) the teachings were specifically Togakure Ryu. People think when “ninjutsu” first came to the west that it was “bujinkan” as it is today, it was not. The only ryuha Hatsumi wished to teach the west (for whatever reasons)...

Dunc said - I don‘t agree with his assertion in this thread that the ryuha have not been taught by Soke and you can’t learn them in the Bujinkan. Again this is from my direct personal experience I am not sure what you mean by this, not taught by Soke? The last time I was in Japan (2019), Soke...

https://www.martialtalk.com/threads/question-about-japanese-shihan.64664/page-2#post-1266023 I am an instructor under Sensei Wayne Roy, having joined his organsation in 1993, when we were still part of the Bujinkan (hence my ability to answer your history question... and yes, Stephen, it was...

It was not Bujinkan when it first came to Australia, it was only Togakure Ryu. The point I am making is that someone who comes from the Wayne L Roy "clan" is likely to be bias against the Bujinkan. Chris would be well aware of this dynamic. Has he ever mentioned he was a student of Wayne L Roy...

This is a quote from his website The instructor at the Jukuren Dojo is Chris Parker. Mr. Parker has been the representative for Mr. Roy’s organization in Melbourne since taking over the school from his instructor in mid-2003. already been there Flying Crane, not repeating myself

Why would you think I think they are not? Just enquiring why you think they are.

just one more thing you quoted BrendanF Chris Parker said: My school was the original Bujinkan school in Australia, beginning in 1981, however we split from the Bujinkan in 2001, and the organisation as an entity was disbanded when my Chief Instructor retired at the end of 2016. I have trained...

Absolutely agree that we are all bias in some way. We all put our own slant on things and no matter how much we talk about it there will always be those that disagree, thats the way of things. The Bujinkan does teach all of those 9 school in varying degrees. Why do you say Sean Askew and Kacem...

What is it you don't believe?

Nothing I have said is incorrect. I am not complaining about bias, only pointing it out.. That’s why I said to Rogueshooter06 to form his own opinions.

HI RogueShooter06, I don’t think you are going to get any objective or factual information on the Bujinkan from these forums. Some of the information in the thread is skewed to personal bias and/or ignorance. If you are doing research on the authenticity of the Bujinkan then you will need to do...

Just out of interest Chris, you teach these traditions yourself so what difference is there in your teachings as opposed to the Bujinkan teachings? Specifically, Togakure Ryu? Do you follow the scrolls? Takagi Yoshin Ryu Kukishinden Ryu Gyokko Ryu Koto Ryu Togakure Ryu Shinden Fudo Ryu

The ninja and the samurai were indeed collaborators, however on certain occasion they did fight each other. In the 1400's the Iga and Koga Ninjas worked together to fight against the Shogun when the Rokkaku clan of Iga was being attacked. During the Tensho-Iga wars in 1581 the ninja clans were...
