What Is Ninjutsu?

Traditional Values

While we are a modern school that teaches martial arts suited to our modern lifestyle. We feel it is important for students to understand the roots of our method of instruction. There are other organizations, such as the Bujinkan of Budo-Taijutsu that teach the more classical interpretation of ninjutsu which will be of interest to those interested in the traditions and origins of this martial art. Ninjutsu is a broad and profound martial art.

Modern Demand

Traditional Values

In the modern era, we don't deal with roving bandits, or well-armored samurai. Luckily, the martial lessons learned over the centuries of development behind Ninjutsu teach universal lessons that echo on. Our school teaches modern applications of the timeless mental and physical art of Ninjutsu. We hope to carry on in the tradition of helping our students develop practical methods of self defense and personal development that will keep them safe and improve their lives.
