The Genbukan Kusakage Dōjō (USA) is located in the North Texas (Melissa and McKinney, TX) area. One hour is dedicated to ninpō taijutsu. The other is Japanese jūjutsu and koryū karate. And finally, one is dedicated to weapons (bōjutsu, bikenjutsu, shurikenjutsu, naginatajutsu, and sōjutsu). Each art has its own curriculum which is set forth by Tanemura Shōtō-sōke, the Grandmaster of the Genbukan Honbu Dōjō.
The five arts that are taught and their principles are:
• Ninpō Taijutsu - avoiding, evading, and escaping.
• Japanese Jūjutsu - suppleness, leverage, efficiency,
using the opponent's momentum.
• Koryū Karate - speed, dynamic force, and hard/soft.
• Bōjutsu - long, medium and short range staff techniques.
• Bikenjutsu - short and medium range sword techniques.
• Shurikenjutsu - medium and short range throwing spikes/blades (from the hand) techniques.
• Naginatajutsu - long and medium range bladed pole weapon (similar to a glaive) techniques.
• Sōjutsu - long and medium range spear (yari) techniques.
