The International Bujinkan Dojo
The international Bujinkan Dojo was founded by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi and is located in Noda City, Japan. Dr. Hatsumi inherited the title of Soke from his teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu, in the mid 1970’s. Hatsumi-Soke is the sole authority for providing transmission of the techniques to our generation and he has final authority for the policies which guide the Bujinkan Yamaneko Dojo.
As Soke, Dr. Hatsumi holds the title of Grandmaster of nine separate schools (ryu) that make up the Bujinkan Dojo. The techniques which you are taught come from these schools:
Bujinkan Tramore Dojo
Richard Rowsell, senior Hapkido instructor, graded to Shodan under IBDA Shihan Richard Van Donk (15th dan), in 2007 and started teaching Ninjutsu in Tramore the following year. As well as traditional Ninjutsu, Richard also incorporates elements of Kyusho and Escrima into his teaching.
Classes run on Tuesdays and Saturdays for adults only and new members are always welcome.
