Dean taught unarmed defence, knife, sword and stickfighting. Dean and three members from his Dojo also taught many tactical techniques how to work as a group.
This is a very good video if you are interested in realistic self-defence and fighting from the Bujinkan system. We also recommend this video to anyone working or interested in security work as a guard or police. Although some of the techniques is not allowed to use in police force/work you can still see how it could be used against you if the opponent is good.
