Kentuckiana Ninja Training

Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu is the full name of the style of Ninjutsu practiced in our dojo. Currently in its 34th generation, this style of Ninjutsu is an authentic tradition that has survived more than 900 years since its beginnings in feudal Japan. Its martial roots extend through history to the cradle of modern civilization.
If you examine the term ‘Ninjutsu’, you can break it down into two words. ‘NIN’ and ‘JUTSU’, both Japanese words with their own meanings. The closest English translation for ‘NIN’ is ‘patience’ and for ‘JUTSU’ it’s “true technique”. When you combine these two together to form the term ‘Ninjutsu’, you get the “true techniques of patience”.

NINPO TAIJUTSU 忍法 体術

This field of study forms the core of our curriculum. ‘Taijutsu’ is translated as ‘True Techniques of the Body’ and is the foundation which all the physical techniques are applied from.

Dakentaijutsu -

Kicking, Punching, and other Striking Skills

Jutaijutsu -

Grappling, Wrestling, Throwing, Joint-locks, and other Close Contact Skills

Taihenjutsu -

Rolling, Jumping, Break-falls, Stepping, Balance, and other Safety Skills

As before, the word ‘NIN’ translates to the English word ‘patience’. The Japanese word ‘PO’ translates as the English word ‘method’. Therefore, the study of Ninpo Taijutsu is “The method of the body’s true technique.”
