Our Young Tigers Taijutsu program follows the same martial foundation as the adult curriculum, with greater emphasis on safety, respect, and character development. We believe that youth benefit most when they are trusted to study authentic techniques — taught in the spirit of traditional, combat-based training, yet adapted to their age and experience.

Instruction progresses carefully to ensure both self-control and partner safety. Students learn practical methods of self-protection through the study of timing, distance, and angling — the essence of true Taijutsu.

​

Physical Training in Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu Includes:

• Junan Taisō (柔軟体操): Body conditioning and flexibility training

• Dakentaijutsu (打拳体術): Striking, kicking, and defensive blocking

• Jūtaijutsu (柔体術): Grappling, throwing, and joint control

• Taihenjutsu (体変術): Rolling, leaping, evasion, and safe breakfalls

​

Just as their physical skills grow through Taijutsu, our Young Tigers also follow a structured progression of Virtues and Mental Attributes — learning to balance strength with wisdom, confidence with humility, and skill with responsibility. In this way, training becomes not only a means of self-defense, but a lifelong path toward character and contribution to one’s community.
