I think your definition and my definition are just different translations. As far as swords, I've asked about their swords and other weird heavy weapons they use which they probably wouldn't use in real life, and was told that it's just a better way of seeing how good your taijutsu is... Kind of like when you're doing a clean and jerk or a snatch...you can get away with really bad form and muscle your way through it until you start adding weight to the bar. Make sense?

QUOTE=DDsquall]JHust want to say Taijutsu actualy means ' Techniques or art of the body'. Your translation of Bujinkan was correct though. What id on't understand is the Sword play area of ninjutsu. Like Would the ninja be taught the a complete style from antoher art of the Japanese sword or is ninjutsu its own Kenjutsu?[/quote]
