Introduction to Bujinkan Hou Dojo

Bujinkan Hou Dojo means the Phoenix Dojo of the Bujinkan system. The Phoenix

represents rebirth in western culture and in Japanese culture represents the sun, fidelity,

prosperity, and obedience. The phoenix is a very important and personal symbol to Sensei Tom

Gillis who created Hou Dojo. It means a constant drive to move forwards and not be held back

by our mistakes or fears or self doubts. It represents Shugyo, constantly striving to improve

ourselves and constantly being reborn as a better version of ourselves, moving towards our

ultimate potential.

At Hou Dojo training is varied and is split between modern combative Ninjutsu and

traditional Bujinkan Ninjutsu. While maintaining tradition and transmitting traditional martial

arts is important, training must also be functional. It is Sensei Tom’s belief that any martial arts

training must incorporate a self protection element that takes into account modern law,

equipment, environments, clothing, and weapons. This is achieved at Hou Dojo by studying

traditional Bujinkan Ninjutsu and then applying the concepts and lessons to modern day

environments.

Hou Dojo follows the rank structure designed by Kanō Jigorō (嘉納治五郎, 28 October

1860 – 4 May 1938) and encourages students to study and train hard to move through the ranks.

Hou Dojo is a contact dojo where students strike, grapple, and throw each other. When possible

and safe to do so students are exposed to live training weapons. A constant reinforcement of

Bujin, warrior spirit, is taught. To develop a true Bujin, or Bujutsu (warrior technique) students

must experience reality training.

At Hou Dojo the belief is that martial arts training is for everyone, not only the gifted

athletes but for the everyday person. Students aren’t held to the same standards as each other,

but rather are measured according to their own potential for excellence.

Hou Dojo is supervised by Sensei Tom Gillis who has a direct lineage to Dr. Masaaki

Hatsumi, current Soke of the 9 traditions and founder of the Bujinkan System. Sensei Tom’s first

instructor was Orlando Sensei who presented Sensei Tom with his shodan (black belt), followed

by Shihan Jay Creasey who he now trains with and who presented Sensei Tom with his sandan

(3rd

degree black belt). Sensei Tom trains with other shihan’s as well and attends training in

Japan to learn directly from Soke Hatsumi. In January 2014 Sensei Tom successfully passed the

sakki test in Noda Japan in front of Soke Hatsumi and was awarded his Godan (5th

dan

blackbelt).

Training in a martial arts system such as Bujinkan Budo Tai Jutsu requires patience and

repetition. The goal of a martial artist is technical perfection in all their movements and a

complete theoretical understanding or their art or discipline. This varies from training in combat

or self protection techniques where the emphasis is on a movement or set of techniques that have

a high likelihood of working in all situations. This also means that not all drills have a direct

combat application. Some exercises are designed to strengthen the body, some are designed to

improve mind-body connection, and some are designed to teach relaxation, some co-ordination.

This is important to keep in mind when training.

The Schools of the Bujinkan

The Bujinkan is the largest organization of Ninjutsu training worldwide with just over

250,000 registered students and is comprised of 9 traditional Japanese martial art systems.

Ninjutsu is actually a small portion of the training.

These 9 systems were each their own school, or Ryuha in Japanese, and throughout the

course of history were brought together through familial alliances and bonds. Some of the

schools were samurai lineage, and some were of ninja origin. Ninjutsu itself didn’t emerge as a

martial art until after the Tokugawa shogunate in the early 1600’s. Before that it existed as

stealth training and before that as the philosophy Ninpo, which can actually be found in military

records from many different martial arts systems including Ju Jutsu, Karate, Kenjutsu, and other

fighting systems of ancient Japan.

Takamatsu sensei was the first person to be the soke (grandmaster) in all 9 and he

passed the lineages to Hatsumi sensei. Takamatsu sensei used to train the schools

independent of each other and would instruct that a particular kata or movement was from a

particular school and their names. Hatsumi sensei however blended all 9 into the Bujinkan,

sometimes known as Hatsumi Han (Hatsumi house or system). The idea being that a student

would learn a certain level of freedom and expression by seamlessly transitioning from 1 style to

the next without thinking of it as a “style”.

The 9 schools;

Togakure Ryu Ninpo. As with most of Ninjutsu the Togakure Ryu is

shrouded in mystery. Of the nine schools in Bujinkan this school is the oldest and the

foundation. Up until the year 2000 most training certificates said “Togakure Ryu” on them and

not “Bujinkan.”

The Ryuha is thought to have developed in the late 1100’s/early 1200’s when a samurai

retainer, Daisuke Nishina, escaped a battle where his forces were defeated and killed, and fled

into the mountains of Iga. There he evaded capture and met a group of monks from China who

trained in martial arts on Mount Hiei-zan. He took refuge with them and combined their spiritual

training with his own, and their martial art with his own samurai arts. He developed a system of

training to defeat samurai and that focused on 18 disciplines.

The 18 skill sets taught, developed, and refined in the Ryu were;

Seishin Teki Kyotyo, or “spiritual refinement”

Taijutsu or “unarmed combat”

Kenjutsu or “sword art”

Bojutsu is the art of “stick or staff fighting” and also includes fighting techniques for

fighting with sticks that conceal blades

Shuriken-Jutsu “throwing blades”

Yari-Jutsu is the skill of “spear fighting”

Naginata-Jutsu means “Halberd fighting”

Kusari-Gama “chain and sickle weapons”

Kayaku-Jutsu use of fire and explosives as weapons and distraction devices

Henso-Jutsu is the vital ninja skill of “disguise and impersonation”

Shinobi-Iri or “stealth and entering methods”

Ba-Jutsu, which was all skills and techniques associated with “horsemanship”

Sui-Ren , “water training”

Bo-Ryaku, the unconventional battle tactics used by ninjas and their understanding of

political plots

Cho Ho or “espionage”

Inton-Jutsu or “escape and concealment”

Ten-Mon was used to predict weather patterns that would be most advantageous to a

ninja’s goals or would threaten their survival

Chi-Mon or “geography” and was the ability to use the terrain to one’s advantage.

It wasn’t until 3 generations after its creation that the system was formalized and the

name “Hidden Door School” was created. The name itself alludes to the philosophy of finding

the path less travelled and the using the unsuspected strategy to defeat an opponent. As you

can see training in the Togakure Ryu could take a lifetime to learn all the different skills!

Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu. This school is believed to have been brought to

Japan from China by Cho Gyokko during the Tang Dynasty. The name translates to “Jeweled

Tiger” school and closely resembles elements of long arm kung fu. The school teaches

kosshijutsu, which calls for attacks to the muscles and nerve points of the body, shitojutsu or

using the thumbs and fingers for striking and included styles of sword and stick fighting. This

Ryu favors circular movement and is one half of a complete fighting system, the other half being

linear fighting found in the Koto Ryu.

Koto Ryu Koppojutsu . This school is the sister style to Gyokko-ryu. This is

translated as the “Knocking down the tiger”. The school is very linear and favours straight lines

as opposed to circular motions. This style of fighting uses kempo (short fist striking) and

koppojutsu or “bone law art” which can be broken down into three elements. The first is

breaking bones, the second is destroying joints, and the third is manipulating an opponent’s

skeleton so that they can’t maintain balance. This style of fighting is believed to have been

brought from Korea to Japan by a monk named Chan Busho. Many movements resemble knife

fighting and short blade combat.

Kukishin Ryu Happo Hiken . Often translated as “Transmission of

the Nine Demon Gods School”, this school is often described as a battlefield school. Many of

the movements take into account body armour and the strategy is often to unbalance your

opponent to knock them on their backs. From here a sword or other weapon could’ve been

employed to finish a confrontation. The Kukishin Ryu teaches unarmed fighting (taijutsu), and

favours swords (ken jutsu), spears (so jutsu) and short staffs (hanbo jutsu) along with

supplemental military strategy and other minor ninjutsu skills.

Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo. This ryu translates to “Hiding in the Clouds” and

teaches many taijutsu methods of leaping and uses a specialty spear with a hook that was used

as a combat tool and to climb ships. As with all Ninpo schools strategy and mind set are

favoured and emphasized over fighting ability. The warriors of this school used armored

sleeves to deflect blades and confuse enemies and wore demon masks to frighten and distract

them. The sleeves and shin armour usually would’ve been made out of bo shuriken (throwing

spikes) or sanban shuriken (throwing stars) sewn into pockets on the boots or gauntlets. Not

only could they deflect weapons but also be accessed as a weapon to launch at opponents or

hit and cut with the weapons in the clothing. It’s thought that many of the originators of this

school were employed on ships and fishing vessels as protection against pirates and that’s why

the movements have a gentle swaying motion.

Gikan Ryu Koppojutsu . “School of truth, loyalty and justice” also

teaches koppojutsu, the system of unarmed fighting to break bones, joints, or disrupt balance.

This school is said to have been developed by a student of the Gyokko-ryu and Koto-ryu and

basically combines the strategies and movements of both into his own unique way of moving

and fighting. The teachings of the school are very secretive and not taught publically. Many

believe the school favoured hidden sword (biken) techniques for its primary weapon. The

lineage of this school is in debate and Soke Masaaki Hatsumi’s claim that he is the current

grandmaster is challenged by Shoto Tanemura. What we do know is that an underlying

philosophy in the school was to keep the peace and to never attack first, but rather to use your

skill only in defense.

Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu. Translates into “immovable

heart school” and is the 7th combat school of Bujinkan. This art has two styles of unarmed

combat, Jutaijutsu (grappling methods) and Daken Taijutsu (striking methods), although it’s

believed that originally the school only taught striking methods and it wasn’t until much later that

the grappling techniques were introduced from another source.

Gyokishin Ryu Ninpo . Translates in “the Jeweled Heart” and mainly

concentrates on the espionage skills and other abilities of the ninja than fighting. It is

considered a “secret” school and Soke Hatsumi (the current Bujinkan Grandmaster) doesn’t

disclose its teachings.

Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu. Means “High Tree Willow Heart

School” and is a system of Ju Jutsu (grappling techniques) which teaches fast breaks,

submissions, ground fighting and chokes. In the upper levels of training it is practiced while

wearing samurai swords and sometimes employs long staffs as weapons. The school is

thought to have been developed for body guards and specializes in applying the grappling

techniques with speed so that an opponent cannot counter.

Each of the 9 schools are battlefield arts, meaning that as well as the technical aspects

of the school there is an underlying philosophy of tactics and awareness. In many of the kata’s

from all the schools a turning movement is used (sometimes at the very end) to circumnavigate

your surroundings or angles are sought to use opponents against each other. In each of the 9

weapon skills are taught at the very beginning of the training and continue throughout. This is

because many of the body movements take into account the idea that soldiers were trained in

weapons first so they were already familiar with moving as though they were armed. Soldiers

only fought empty handed in the case of an emergency.

As you can see from the descriptions of the 9 Ryuha of the Bujinkan there is a wide

diversity and range of skills. Any one of these 9 schools was, and could still be, taught on its

own and a student could spend a lifetime exploring just 1 and mastering its techniques,

principles, philosophies, and movements.

Dojo Etiquette and Opening/Closing Ceremony

Bujinkan Hou Dojo students are expected to keep in mind at all times the ideas of respect and

discipline and do their best to demonstrate and follow dojo protocol and etiquette. The FTS protocol is

slightly less strict than what students may find in Japan or other Bujinkan dojo’s. Proper dojo etiquette is

as follows;

1. Bowing when stepping on or off mats. Students are only required to bow when first stepping

onto the mats before class begins and at the end of class when they’re heading out to the change

room or leaving for the session. Students aren’t required to bow when entering or leaving the

training area for breaks, to fetch equipment, or for first aid. To bow properly before training

stand at the edge of the mats, look at the kamidana and bow from the waist keeping the head and

eyes up. Then step onto the mats with the left foot. At the end of training proceed to an edge of

the mat with heels on the edge, look at the kamidana and bow from the waist head and eyes up.

Step off the mat right foot first.

2. Bowing to each other. When beginning training for the first time with a new partner or partners

give each other a brief bow from the waist with head and eyes up looking at each other. Repeat

when moving onto another partner. Bowing to the same partner isn’t required when an instructor

requests the group to come in for demonstration or when resuming training after demonstrations,

breaks, or fetching equipment. If requested to provide a class demonstration enter the designated

training space with your partner or partners and bow to each other. Perform the demonstrations

until directed to stop. Bow to each other again and exit the demonstration area.

3. Bowing to instructors. Similar to bowing to each other, if an instructor requests training or uke

bow to each other before the demonstration. Perform the required number of demonstrations.

Bow to each other and exit the demonstration area. If an instructor observes a performance or

training issue during practice and quickly interrupts the group bowing is not required.

4. Hygiene. Keep uniforms and equipment cleaned and maintained, finger and toe nails trim, and

clean hands and feet before class. Do your best to keep the mats and training area clean and free

from debris, dirt, and blood. It is the students responsibility to keep the dojo clean. Students not

following hygiene protocols may be excluded from training. This is to keep our environment

clean so that students don’t get sick.

5. Uniforms. Students are expected to wear all patches on their uniforms. This includes rank

patch(s), Bujinkan Hou Dojo membership patch, and a Canadian flag. Other patches may be

worn at sensei Tom’s (or designates) discretion. In the summer kekogi tops may be replaced with

t-shirts. Shirts must be presentable and not disrespectful. Shirts are tucked into training pants

and obi is worn.

6. Equipment. Always ask someone else’s permission before handling their equipment. Pass

equipment to each other respectfully and with care. Do not toss or throw equipment to each other

unless as part of an exercise.

7. Late arrival. Late arrivals are not viewed as disrespectful if for reasonable reason (i.e. work,

traffic, confusion in location, etc.). Students are requested to do their best to be on time for every

training session AND to and from breaks and fetching equipment. In case of being late for class

proceed to and edge of the training space, leave your feet off the mat and sit in seiza no kamae

with knees on the mat. Wait for an instructor to acknowledge you and invite you onto the mat.

Follow proper protocol for entering the training space at that time.

8. Opening and closing ceremony. When training is beginning for the night the instructor will ask

everyone in attendance to line up facing the kamidana. Students line up facing the kamidana in

order or rank from left to right with the most senior student far left. There is room for 12 students

in the front row with the space immediately in front of the kamidana reserved for instructor(s). If

there’s more than 12 students in attendance then begin other row’s as necessary following the

same formula. If your kekogi needs adjusting turn away from the kamidana, make the

adjustment, and turn back. Follow the instructors instructions to either sit in seiza no kamae or

stand and assume gassho no kamae. If seated in seiza no kamae follow any instructions until the

instructor requests the gassho position. The instructor will say “shakin haramitsu daikomyio.”

As a group all the students repeat the mantra. Then as a big group everyone claps twice and bows

to the kamidana, sit or stand straight up again, clap once and bow again. The student on the far

left will say “sensei ni rei” at which time everyone bows to the kamidana together and says

“onegaishimasu.” The instructor will provide any discussions or instructions and class begins.

At the end of class the exact same ceremony is conducted except that the last saying becomes

“arigato onegaishimasu.”

9. Equipment. As students progress through their training they are expected to purchase their own

equipment. Minimum equipment standards are bokken, roku shaku bo, and hanbo.

10. Dojo orientation. For the first class students will be assigned a partner to conduct an orientation.

This orientation includes location of first aid kits, equipment, cleaning supplies, a demonstration

of proper etiquette, how to wear the kekogi and obi, and how to handle equipment.

Bujinkan Hou Dojo Minimum Testing Standards

Students are evaluated in 3 areas of competency. They are taijutsu, the ability to move and use

the body, general knowledge, tested through written exams, demonstrations, and reading kanji, and the

third and final aspect is budo, the way of the warrior, tested through dojo etiquette and lifestyle.

In order to apply for a rank test the student must meet a minimum number of hours since

beginning training. Hours are applied from attending class or private training sessions at a 1-to-1 ratio,

attending other FTS sanctioned Bujinkan Training Events at a 1-to-1 ratio, attending other FTS

sanctioned Non- Bujinkan events at a 2-to-1 ratio and assisting as Uke for special events or children’s

classes at a 2-to-1 ratio. Just because the minimum number of hours are met does not mean that the

test will be successful. Following is a list of the minimum training hours required for a rank AND the

number of hours that equates to between ranks. When the appropriate number of training hours are

reached and you wish to submit for a test fill out and turn in the form. FORMS MUST BE FILLED IN

PROPERLY!!! Ranks may be awarded by Sensei Tom or his designate solely at his discretion. Once a rank

is awarded it is not to be questioned by other students or instructors. Rank may be revoked by Sensei

Tom or his designate also.
