Some of the older shihans (especially the Japanese ones that are Soke's ukes) can be like that as well. It all depends on the person. When my sensei heard about the "BJJ Ninjutsu" guy, he just laughed and said he hoped the guy was having fun with it.

But the initial question is interesting in that can anyone tell us what is Bujinkan (today)? While you're at it, what's the difference between Bujinkan, Ninpo and Budo Taijutsu? Thanx.

Ninpo Taijutsu and Budo Taijutsu are the same thing. Soke changed it from the first to the second to avoid the whole 80s ninja fad and attracting the wrong kind of people. That's why he rarely even teaches parts of the actual ninjutsu ryuhas until you're at least a sandan, as he originally was teaching everybody but felt he was doing some wrong by passing out some of the more advanced techniques that could induce harm.
