I'm really "thrown" by the comments above regarding Traditional Jujitsu. I had thought the Bujinkan Taijitsu stuff would be more practical - the practice against knife attackers, handguns, and teach you how to defend yourself with a knife also (of legal size).
Why dont you think Traditional JuJutsu would teach these things?? maybe not the Gun thing but DEFINATLEY against knike attacks as well as Mutliple attackers, sword attackes, staff attackes, stick/ club attacks, virtually any weapon!

Bujinkan has a lot of Coyboys in it and alot of people doing weapon defence that have no idea what they are doing! (so do most arts to be fair) I have seem and practiced the Gun defences taught at Bujinkan but they really do not stand up to much. The principles used in TJJ can be aplied to many situations including Gun defence. (watch a Segal movie - he does Aikido!) I know that is the movies but you can see the real power in his techniques and can judge their effectivness.

Will check these guys out and get back to you.

Cheers,
Chris
