Training
The Bujinkan Kouryuu Dojo training companion is taken from the Bujinkan Shinden Kihon Gata ( Divine transmission of the basic forms ) syllabus which was formulated by Hatsumi Sensei as a training guide up to Shodan.
The complete collection of techniques are split into three volumes: Ten Ryaku No Maki ( principles of Heaven ), Chi Ryaku No Maki ( principles of Earth ) and Jin Ryaku No Maki ( principles of Man ). Collectively they are referred to as the Ten Chi Jin Ryaku No Maki.
They were hand written books by Hatsumi Sensei and given to 5th Dan instructors when they passed the Sakki test.
"The Ten Ryaku No Maki will teach you proper Ukemi, Kaiten, Kamae, Sanshin No Kata and the Kihon Happo."
"The Chi Ryaku No Maki introduces the concepts of Jutaijutsu. The book of Earth will teach you the main throws, locks, holds and chokes."
"The Jin Ryaku No Maki teaches a selected number of techniques, kata and concepts found within the nine schools of the Bujinkan Dojo. The volumes of Ten and Chi should first be studied as a foundation to your training in order to make the book of Man more understandable."
