Shinmyoken Dojo
Traditional Japanese Budo.
Westchester, NY. (Since 2005)
The Shinmyoken Dojo operates under a singular principle: to gather as
martial friends and explore the movement of Japanese budo as transmitted to us by Dr.
Masaaki Hatsumi, Soke of the Bujinkan Dojo.
We do not teach sport or competition. We practice the
traditional arts of the samurai— a method of survival and movement that has
endured for over 800 years.
Our practice: taijutsu
At the heart of this warrior path is taijutsu— the art of unified
body movement.
The Shinmyoken Dojo maintains the transmission of isshi soden, a direct, heart-to-heart lineage that bypasses modern sport pedagogy.
Training involves the study of distance, angling,
and the natural mechanics of the human body to navigate any situation.
Supervision: Instruction is led by Fred Feddeck (shidoshi), who
has dedicated himself to the study of the Bujinkan since 1993.
Entrance to the Shinmyoken Dojo is not a matter of registration, but of intent. We maintain a traditional atmosphere of mutual respect and rigorous study. There is no digital application process. Those who feel called to the study of taijutsu are invited to present themselves in person at the Saturday morning practice. We do not offer any digital registration.
We train outdoors, connecting
our movement to the environment, as was done historically.
