Street Self Defense - Military Hand-to-Hand Combat/Close Quarters Combatives (CQC) - Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics

Ka Jumonji Do - Tactical Ninjutsu & Combatives
Modern. Practical. Effective.
The next generation in Self Defense, Close Quarters Combat, and Defensive Tactics™ 

Ka Jumonji Do Tactical Ninjutsu & Combatives is one of the most dynamic and comprehensive forms of real-world, practical "street" self defense and Reality-Based Martial Arts systems available today. Its emphasis is on results over style and on practical/effective moves with an economy of movement, providing devastating "street" effectiveness with the minimal amount of training time required. The bottom line; this system was designed and developed for the purposes of real fighting, on the street or the battlefield, and not for sport or exercise. Ka Jumonji Do is adaptable and flexible. We do not follow rigid rules or strictly circumscribed techniques. Unlike traditional martial arts, it does not restrict itself to a pre-set repertoire of moves, nor does it follow a strict choreography to generate the fighting style. The technique is dictated by circumstance, the environment, and, of course, the opponent. Instead of you having to conform to the system, the system conforms to you, as an individual with unique body mechanics. This was the same philosophy used in historical Ninjutsu and was even adopted by Bruce Lee with the advent of his legendary Jeet Kune Do. Many of Ka Jumonji Do’s moves and stances have been developed to adapt to and neutralize the opponent’s moves, to avoid playing to his strengths, or even to turn his strengths into weaknesses. For example, we use close-in moves (such as grappling and throwing) against a fighter who specializes in distance moves (such as kicks), or distance moves against a fighter who is skilled at close fighting. It is through these philosophies and principles that make Ka Jumonji Do Tactical Ninjutsu Combtives such an effective system of modern, real-world street self defense, military hand to hand combat, close quarters combatives (CQC), and law enforcement defensive tactics.

Ninjutsu was the original "Mixed Martial Art", and one of the world's first Special Forces.

(It is also interesting to note that it is a misconception that it was "the Samurai vs. the Ninja." Ninja and Samurai often fought together, side by side, in many wars throughout Japan's history.)


"Legendary Tactics Meet Modern Science and Application"
Merging Ninjutsu with Modern Military Combatives and Defensive Tactics

Ka Jumonji Do Tactical Ninjutsu & Combatives is not classical/traditional Ninjutsu. It is a modern day derivative of traditional Ninjutsu and a hybrid combative system. While it is heavily influenced by Ninjutsu's base concepts, principles, and philosophy, it is a practical, modern reality-based system of "street" self defense also consisting of military hand-to-hand combatives, close quarters combatives (CQC), and law enforcement defensive tactics.

Traditional Ninjutsu by itself is already one of the most effective combat arts in the world. However, like many classical martial arts, it does take time to refine one's skills to a "street" effective level. Military close quarters combatives and law enforcement defensive tactics were designed to get soldiers, agents, and peace officers trained as effective as possible in the shortest amount of time. Ka Jumonji Do takes advantage of these training techniques in order to get you as "street ready" as quickly as possible, while at the same time, applying many of the same proven concepts, techniques, and teachings used in Ninjutsu. This exact formula is not a new concept. In fact, many experts have analogized modern Ninjutsu to special combat units such as S.W.A.T., U.S. Navy SEALS, Black Ops, etc. due to the way they combine techniques used by the ancient Ninja with modern combat. In this very same way, we have combined the most effective and comprehensive set of proven combat methods and techniques with modern training and science in order to get you as "street effective" as quickly as possible so that you are able defend yourself now.

From Technique... to Street Effective

All training includes learning the basics of execution of a particular skill, free-flow development of the skill, counters, and then using the skill in real-time against resisting opponents in real-world scenario training. Scenario training is finally where the rubber meets the road, in full contact. In order to be fully confident that your skills will work if needed in a real-life situation, they must be tested as they would in real-life. In today's world, you will very rarely encounter a one-on-one "duel", where you face off against a single opponent in a fair fight. There may be weapons involved, you may not see the attack coming, the attacker may have friends, etc. You will also most likely not be using the same "fighting style" as in traditional sparring. In order to simulate real life encounter tests for your skills, we have instituted scenario training.

Our real-world scenario training is a real-life attack simulation against one or multiple opponents in various settings. In a single attacker scenario, the assailant attacks in a relentless pre-determined fashion, such as a street fighter, or a skilled fighter, or a surprise attack just as it would be in real life instead of the "competition" fashion of traditional sparring. In group scenario training, common scenarios from real-life are played out such as bar/club scenes, social events, sporting events, parking lots, sidewalks, domestic disturbances, gang attacks, assaults, etc. Attacks are carried out just as they would be in these real-life scenarios, and you never know if/when you will be the victim. It may be a single attacker, multiple attackers, a surprise attack, a weapon may be brandished, or the "attacker" might not intend on actually harming you at all, leaving you to manage the situation accordingly. You will test your situation management skills as well as your self defense, fighting, and combat skills in a way that you will know they will work in real life, should you ever need them.

Ka Jumonji Do Tactical Ninjutsu - Self Defense Equivalency

We understand that not everybody is interested in "martial arts", earning belts, or joining a long term program, while some are. So, our "belts" should simply be thought of as skill levels, each representing a different category of real-world applicable defensive skill set with a different level of time and training required. There are 5 skill levels of advancement, each designated with a different belt color, before reaching “black belt”, or instructor level. Each level corresponds directly to a specific set of self defense skills.

In the earlier levels we focus on gross motor movements that take advantage of your body's natural movements and reactions. These techniques are highly effective; while at the same time require very little training. In the later levels we work on refining previously learned skills, while learning new skills that take more practice. Each level is a complete set of skills, giving you the option to either learn just what you need to defend yourself or to continue on with further levels for a more comprehensive set of skills. This allows you to get exactly what you want, whether it is short-term training for some highly effective defensive skills without having to commit to a long-term program, or a more long term training goal for a more comprehensive skill set. The table below illustrates how each level of Tactical Ninjutsu relates to real-world defensive skills:

What does "Ka Jumonji Do" mean and where does the system come from?

Ka Jumonji Do Tactical Ninjutsu is not a new system. It is a comprehensive hybrid of Ninjutsu and SFC Combatives (Hock Hochheim's Scientific Fighting Congress). Ninjutsu, with its superior mechanics, principles, and techniques, combined with the proven, real-life application of modern combatives and defensive tactics makes Ka Jumonji Do Tactical Ninjutsu a perfect balance between immediate effectiveness and overall superiority. Ka Jumonji Do Tactical Ninjutsu also utilizes some of the principles, techniques, and tactics from other Reality-Based Martial Arts and Tactical Systems such as German Dominquez's Tactical Shokan Combatives, Criso Lopez's Spirit Tora Combatives, Malvin Traylor's Dark Gift Combat Fighting System, Fernan Vargas' Raven Tactical Systems, William E. Fairbairn's & Eric Anthony Sykes' Defendu, Filipino and Southeast Asian Martial Arts, and Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

(NOTE: Even though Instructor Bodungen is formally trained in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu Ninpo, he does not claim to teach traditional Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu as taught by the Bujinkan organization and means no disrespect to the Bujinkan organization. If you are looking for strictly traditional/classical Ninjutsu/Ninpo training in Houston, TX, we encourage you to seek out the instruction of an instructor from the Bujinkan organization. We train with Shidoshi Threz Gonzales and Shidoshi Robert Grecia on Saturday mornings and Shihan Brian Tritico on Sunday evenings, and we encourage you to join us. If you live on the northwest side of Houston, you are welcome to carpool with us.)

The name Ka Jumonji Do was actually coined by our affiliates (and Bodungen's Instructors) in Spain (Kaisho German Dominguez and Kaisho Criso Lopez) and has multiple translations, all relevant to our system. The first translation is "The way of the fire cross", and relates to the extensive use of the fighting posture, "Jumonji no Kamae" (cross stance), combined with a cross style block/parry technique adapted from an ancient Samurai sword technique called the "juji dome." "Jumonji" means "cross" as well as another representation for the number "10" (consequently, the Japanese kanji symbol for "10" is a cross, or plus sign). As such, another literal translation is "The way of the 10 fires", relating to our system's 10 fundamental strikes and postures.

"Jumonji" also refers to the Japanese word "Ju", which has significant meanings of duality in the Japanese language. For example, it means curse/evil as well as protection (another interesting correlation to the fact that the Japanse symbol for "Ju" or "10 is a cross), to demand as well as to offer, to learn as well as to instruct, to receive the energy of an attack as well as deliver an attack as in the Martial Arts principle of "Ju" (this is the significance of many Japanese Martial Arts beginning with "Ju" such as in "Judo", "Jujutsu", etc.). Finally, "Ju" also refers to one's own longevity or natural life force; thus, coming back to full circle to the meaning of protecting one's life, or self defense (another reason why arts like Judo and Jujutsu use the prefix "Ju").
