Speed & Power In The Martial Arts

 What would happen if you couldn’t rely on speed and power for your martial arts? 


Regardless of style, school or discipline in the martial arts, there are fundamental laws of movement to be found. 

These laws expressed as nature and understood as distance, timing, rhythm, and balance. 

All of human interaction is dependent on these laws. 

Look for them in your own martial arts training, especially the basics of your art- in the Japanese martial arts this would be the kihon. 

Speed, strength, and power exist outside of the laws, and as a martial artist we don’t want to rely on them, as they can be taken by those fundamental laws, or more critically, what happens if you use speed or strength and your training partner is bigger or faster? 

Look for these laws of nature in your own training.

The aim of the Bujinkan Shinmyoken Dojo (school of the life giving sword) is to understand nature and the movement of being zero through taijutsu- martial ways of using the body. The school exists to create and transmit this feeling and method through the experience of isshi soden.

Located in Westchester New York, the Bujinkan Shinmyoken Dojo is a martial arts training group founded in 2005 with the aim of coming together as martial arts friends to study the Japanese martial arts of Masaaki Hatsumi through the movement lessons of the Bujinkan Dojo.

Training is supervised by Fred Feddeck who has been studying Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu since 1993.

Classes are held on Saturday Mornings from 9-11 AM at a local park in Yonkers New York easily accessible by car, train, and bus. Additional training times are held for workshops and seminars each quarter.
