The Bujinkan Mentors are the senior masters, past and present, who shape how Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is studied at the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo. The group includes master teachers based in Japan, committed international practitioners who live abroad or in Japan, and the teachings and stories passed down by Hatsumi Soke about his teacher, Takamatsu Sensei. The lineage lives on through direct instruction from senior Japanese teachers at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo, together with veteran international instructors who link training in Japan to dojos around the world.
