The Bujinkan KoShin Dojo has been teaching Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Bujinkan Ninjutsu) for over the past 20 years. With it's Senior Instructor Shidoshi David Oliver who has been training in this art for over 25 years.

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu training is generally referred to as "Taijutsu", and is composed of both armed and unarmed methods of fighting. Unarmed methods are broken down into three primary categories, dakentaijutsu (striking forms), jūtaijutsu (grappling forms), and taihenjutsu (body movement skills). Much of the basic taijutsu taught to beginners comes from six primary lineages in the Bujinkan compendium, namely Kotō-ryū, Gyokko-ryū, Shinden Fudō-ryū, Takagi Yōshin-ryū, Kuki Shinden-ryū, and Togakure-ryū.

Many weapons are taught: sword (bamboo shinai, wooden bokken, dull metal sword iaitō or swords made by soft modern materials), staffs of various lengths (bō, jō, hanbō), rope, spear, tessen (iron fan), naginata (Japanese halberd) and more. Weapons are categorised into four primary classes - sticks, blades, flexibles, and projectiles.

The Bujinkan Dōjō method is named Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu
(武神館武道体術), and is a collection of nine martial arts family lineages,
called Ryūha. The art was previously called Bujinkan Ninpō Taijutsu and before that it was known under the more generic name of ninjutsu.
