The Training Theme for the Shinobu Shinken Dojo is "Enduring Heart", this is a fundamental Warrior attribute that all Shinken students strive to cultivate throughout their training. We challenge each of our students to the highest level of thought, word and deed so that they may become authentic Warriors (Tetsujin) as well as complete Human Beings. The core of our Shinken Gata training is Budô Taijutsu and Ninpô.
Our Black Belt training requires team work, personal dedication, self discipline and a sincere desire to learn something new. It's important for every student in training to be a good person and a good friend that can be trusted to do the right thing. We call this Buyu and the foundation for this friendship is the Enduring Heart, you can tell the students who don't have this, because they don't last long and only the good ones keep going.
A word about being part of A Bujinkan Dojo
The Bujinkan Dojo is no place for bad attitudes, petty quarrels, greed, anger, fear or intimidation. It is a space where responsible human beings enter to train their body, mind, spirit and heart. If you are training in the Bujinkan, remember to train with a good attitude and to cultivate Ji Kokoro - a kind heart.
Our Training Mission is to facilitate training and licensing in Bujinkan Martial Arts and to assist those on the Warrior path who are seeking a higher level of training and experience in the Bujinkan Ninpo Warrior traditions.
