About The Training
-
Training in our Dojo is cooperative and informal, emphasizing natural body movement and realism.
Unlike many martial arts, which specialize in sport or limited aspects of fighting, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu combines the entire spectrum of protective action and places equal importance on striking and kicking, grappling and throwing, the use of weapons, and the protection of others.
Strongly emphasized is the use of strategy and mental preparation, for overcoming multiple attackers, surprise threats, or more powerful opponents.
Principles such as simplicity, economy of movement, balance, distance, timing, resourcefulness, concealment, and deception are applied in every technique.
As a "path with heart", sincere study leads to personal development and a deeper perspective on life, morality, and the consequences of one's actions.
Last but not least, training is fun, healthy, and can lead to lifelong friendships.
Come for a free drop-in class and find out what the training is all about.
Literature on the Bujinkan
Through Grandmaster Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the Bujinkan Dojo draws its teachings from nine ancient ninjutsu and samurai schools of Japan. Potential students should do their own research into Soke Hatsumi, and the legacy he represents. Here are some links to start with:
