A simple DVD has been produced for Bujinkan students and those interested in Shuriken-jutsu.

The DVD will be available for order by the 1st December 2012.

The express aim of this dvd is to add life to the training by ensuring students use taijutsu and taihenjutsu. Weapons can fail and not be effective. Relying on the Shuriken alone is not enough. The student must understand that the opponent will be moving and also may be throwing shuriken in return!

Understanding these realities, the student is encouraged to study with the knowing that Budo Taijutsu and Taihenjutsu are the means to survival. Not just the Shuriken. A weapons specialist without his weapon or any other skill is a weakness.Soke Hatsumi exclaims that Taijutsu is the base for all weapons and survival.

The Dvd gives humble examples of basic throwing practice, basic variations utilizing various methods of taihenjutsu and weaponry, and then demonstrations of shinken gata ( possible real life scenario methods ).

The demonstrator in the DVD is not a master of shuriken-jutsu and is still correcting on a daily basis his faults and weaknesses. This Dvd is a means to merely encourage others on using imagination and think about the infinite variations one may encounter and how to effectively use the shuriken in those moments.

Duncan is a long time practitioner of Bujinkan Budo. He knows and trusts that the art of shuriken-jutsu exists in the Bujinkan. Upon learning the fundamentals of throwing, the student of Bujinkan Shuriken-jutsu must take the time to study and practice, constantly refining their technique. But most importantly, never forgetting to use Budo taijutsu: The core or “Kaname” of Bujinkan Budo.

The Bujinkan technique is “Ninja technique”. One must throw “naturally” in ones own way, free from form or style. This allows the practitioner to be open to change, be unpredictable, and adjust accordingly using Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu Happou Biken and Ninpo Taihenjutsu.

I sincerely hope that those who view this DVD will look at training as something more than throwing at a mat.
