How to Use this Bujinkan Platform
After nearly five years of existence, it was time to upgrade our streaming platform. It's done!
The new Koi Martial art platform doesn't replace your teacher It is a dynamic library of all the techniques of the Bujinkan. Here you will find around 2000 videos covering everything from basics to advanced techniques. To make it easier for you on your phone, tablet, or computer we have divided these techniques into five categories:
Basics and Fundamentals
This part covers the Ten Ryaku no Maki, Chi Ryaku no Maki, and the Jin Ryaku no Maki. We have also added the necessary forms for each primary weapon of the Bujinkan: Tantō, Kunai, Shotō, Hanbō, Jō, Bō, Yari, Naginata, and sword.

Entering the philosophy field of action, this is the next step to master once you have acquired the biomechanical aspects of the Waza. Here are explained: Sanjigen no Sekai (2003), Yūgen no Sekai (2004), Kasumi no Hō (2005), Shizen (2006), Kuki Taishō (2007), and Menkyō Kaiden (2008). Other themes of the year will follow.
