Mission Statement

    

The mission of the Henka blog is to act as a pure source of transmission of Hatsumi Soke’s teaching in Japan.  

Hatsumi Soke is not currently traveling the world to teach his Budo and therefore, unless you visit Japan on a regular basis, or train regularly with someone who does so, it is difficult to maintain the connection. 

Soke clearly states that Budo cannot be expressed in words, and this I believe.  Soke did also state that it is important to write things down and discuss about Budo for your own training.  Therefore, Henka is a training log, or diary and a means for all Bujinkan practitioners to learn from Sokes’s teachings.

Please understand that Henka is NOT a forum.  Forums have their place, but it is not here.  Therefore, comments that create a discussion should not be made.  Comments are very much welcome and extremely valuable, but please keep them as comments only.  Please leave a comment, but please let us know who you are by signing with your full name.  Anonymous comments will not be approved and any comments stimulating a discussion will be edited or removed.

I truly appreciate your cooperation.
