What is Ninpo-Ikkan?

Ninpo Ikkan is a saying taught to us while studying Bujinkan and it means "The Spirit of the Ninja is our Primary Inspiration."

The Spirit of the Ninja gave rise to enthusiastic students all over the world looking for someone to teach them. They found in it one man Soke Masaaki Hatsumi the inheritor of the 9 Ryu's from O'Sensei Toshigatsu Takamatsu. Soke Hatsumi combined these 9 Ryu's into one system he called Bujinkan.

Ninpo-Ikkan is an Online Bujinkan Study Group for Bujinkan Students currently active with their studies.
Ninpo-Ikkan.com is intended to be an area for the discussion on the finer points of all things Bujinkan and other related Ninjutsu topics...... (Basically everything a student of Bujinkan wants to know or find in one place)

Thats a nice pretty way of saying while I study Bujinkan what learn will be added to the site and the site will grow and change as I grow along the path. Feel free to join me on The Path of the Shinobi.
