Instructor Interviews

Hanshi John Poliquin

Hanshi Poliquin discusses the role Ninjutsu training played in shaping his life, and discusses how important it is to balance the traditions and core lessons of Ninjutsu without limiting ourselves to rote practice of traditional movements.

Shidoshi Mark Davis

Shidoshi Davis takes us through his history in studying multiple martial arts in a time where they didn't commonly exist as they do now. He highlights the importance of the art of Ninjutsu specifically as a way for martial artists to truly express themselves and how it can guide them in personal development.

Hakutoshi Hardee Merritt

Hardee gives us a straightforward and realistic view in how he has developed as an artist by applying the lessons of modern competitive fighting and grappling in the context of Ninjutsu. He stresses the need for instructors and students to continue testing themselves and working together to keep Ninjutsu continually relevant in a shifting era.
