Our lineage is based upon the combination of the techniques of 9 schools of Ninjutsu, as these were transmitted to Masaaki Hatsumi (良昭初見, 1931-) by his Sensei, Takamatsu Toshitsugu (高松寿嗣, 1889-1972). Having studied Ninjutsu for about 15th years, Masaaki Hatsumi founded an organisation called Bujinkan (武神館 “Hall of Warrior Spirits“), counting at present many thousand members all around the world.

One of the closest western students of Masaaki Hatsumi is Pedro Fleitas Gonzales, whose school is called Unryūkai (“School of a Dragon in the Clouds“). Pedro Fleitas is a direct Sensei of Pietro Luca.
