ABOUT LEIDEN BUJUTSU

This is a group based in Leiden, Netherlands, for the study of the body organisation which underpins correct movement and power generation in Bujutsu (æ¦è¡“) or traditional Japanese martial arts.
As this method of training does not rely on conventional muscular strength but on a set of exercises to progressively develop whole body connection, alignment and power, it is open to anyone who has an interest in the subtleties of internal martial arts and their numerous practical applications regardless of their background or level.
WHAT IS BUJUTSU (æ¦è¡“)
Bujutsu refers to ancient Japanese Martial Arts. It combines the characters for “war” (æ¦, bu) and “technique” (è¡“, jutsu). Bujutsu includes both armed and unarmed techniques and was originally practiced by Samurai Warriors in Japan. While numerous external techniques and schools of bujutsu still exist in Japan, we are solely focusing on the Internal Skills developed by the Samurais over a thousand years in the battlefields, which comprise specific training methods to condition, organize and utilize the body to control and defeat their opponent in an instant without relying on external physical strength while depriving the opponent of information.
