I have done research into various styles of Ninjutsu Martial Arts.

I first started training in a style of Ninjutsu that was taught by Robert Bussey one of the first 2 people to train in Japan under the current Grand Master and brought it back to America. When he returned to America he started out teaching traditional Ninjutsu. After a period of time he began teaching a more non-traditional style of Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu was originally designed to be a martial that adapts over time and to the individual. That is what I felt like Mr. Bussey did and I continue to do as one of the schools teaching his style. However in the Ninjutsu community this has been a source of stress as because we do not teach the same way as the traditionalist do.

I have been teaching for over 12 years, you can visit my schools web site at http://4defend.com and other American Ninjutsu schools we are associated with at http://americanninjutsu.com .

Personally I feel like anyone that can link their heritage to Ninjustu deserves to have their unique style mentioned in your project, as well as the differences between the different styles of Ninjutsu. Everyone should be mentioned and not just a certain “click” of schools claiming they are the only school of Ninjutsu.
