From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the Bujinkan, the first Soke and the founder was Heinaizaemon Ienaga Iga. According to the Bujinkan, fighting techniques are similar to those in Togakure Ryu, and it is considered that these two schools mixed during a certain period.[citation needed]
Kumogakure Ryu uses techniques with spear, sword and also yoroi (armor). There are special weapons for this school including Ippon Sugi Noburi. Masaaki Hatsumi is the 14th Sōke.
This art is not currently being publicly taught by Hatsumi Soke. However, top shihan in the Bujinkan have received instruction.
