Established in August of 2005, the aim of the Bujinkan Shinmyoken Dojo is to provide a safe and non-competitive environment to explore the movement philosophy and taijutsu of the Bujinkan Dojo as taught by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. Meeting each week as martial arts friends we explore this philosophy through a structured system of self-discovery. The first layer of movement we explore is learning how one’s own body moves so it can manifest and adapt to the changes of the situation at hand through the practice of stretching, body evasions, stances, positioning and the ability to roll and land safely on the ground. Layers over this is how various movements prevent another person’s body from moving, exploring strikes, locks, throws, immobilizations, and restraints. From this we come to the exploration of two people and how the interact from a variety of training drills and movement patterns passed down to us for eight hundred years of lessons. The aim of this transmission is isshi-soden, a way that can only be passed through experience from person to person. No prior martial arts experience is required and visiting or out of town Bujinkan students are always welcome to visit.
