Student
I've been training at Bujinkan Tori for almost a year, and have learned so much. Went from not even knowing how to punch without hurting my knuckles to being able to perform eight different punching techniques, several kicking techniques, escapes from being grabbed and can fight with a hanbō (stick). I'm pretty confident I now stand a much better chance of defending myself if need be.
Student
Shinobi bujutsu – essentially, the ninja arts – is teaching me that self-defence is a lifestyle, not just a set of techniques or a way of punching.
Senior Student / Brown Belt
I am more excited about this Art than I have ever been and always look forward to training. I look forward to further learning and progressing and in this Art and delving into its ever deep, mysterious and elusive nature. I sincerely thank you for what you have taught me so far and greatly respect you and what you do and represent.
