Bujinkan Ninjutsu
Serious, step-by-step training in authentic Bujinkan Ninjutsu, directly from Doshi Richard Van Donk and the International Bujinkan Dojo Association.
The Art of the Ninja
A Clear Path, Not Random Techniques
Doshi Richard Van Donk has been a personal student of Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi since 1985 and holds the 15th Dan (Ju-Godan) in Bujinkan Ninjutsu / Budo Taijutsu. In 1987 he was only the 9th non-Japanese person to be awarded 5th Dan.
He pioneered distance learning in the martial arts, and his Ninjutsu Black Belt Course has been the flagship path for committed students since 1990: 9th Kyu to Shodan, step by step, with rank certification options, a printed binder manual and his guidance on every lesson.
Budo Taijutsu is a practical, natural, real fighting and philosophical martial arts system deeply founded in the lore of the mystic warriors of feudal Japan, practiced by both the Samurai and the Ninja. Developed in and for real life-and-death battles, not sport or the ring. In our dojos we practice the techniques, waza, principles and philosophies of 9 different Japanese martial art schools (Ryu), unarmed and armed.
