Let me just get this out of the way up front: This is a "noobie" question. i.e. I don't study Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, nor do I live in Japan. I don't frequently travel to Japan, either.
I did a quick search and didn't quite find the answers to the questions that I formulated. I am sure that some of you men/women who have trained in the Bujinkan (or its derivatives) and/or lived in Japan would be able to give a few answers.
Does Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū publicly claim to include any sort of Ninjutsu in its curriculum?
Does the training appear to be compatible with the Bujinkan's view of natural body movement and combat?
Is there any dialog or relationship between the Bujinkan and the TSKS ryu. I have been told that there appear to be similarities in the core skillsets practice by both schools.
Anyone on the forum train in both schools? Would that even be accepted (by the Bujinkan or TSKS)?
Does Bujinkan sword training look at all like TSKS ryu training?
