WHY DO WE TRAIN?

THROUGH CONTINUOUS TRAINING, WE IMPROVE OUR ABILITY & INSTINCT TO PROTECT THOSE WE LOVE and ourselves FROM HARM, FOSTERING HARMONY and PEACEFUL RELATIONS.

The nature of Bujinkan TRAINING calls for constant and focused engagement with ONESELF and with EACH OTher. it gives rise to a deeper understanding of the human nature and cultivation of our spirit.

LIKE MOST TRADITIONAL ART FORMS, MASTERY TAKES MANY YEARS OF PRACTICE, BUT THROUGH THE PROCESS, EMERGES A TRANSFORMATION IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT.
