Excellence in martial arts

Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo

Welcome

The Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo

 

The Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo teaches traditional Japanese Ninjutsu (often misspelled as Ninjitsu) and combat orientated martial arts. Classes are held in Lucan on Saturdays and Leixlip on Tuesdays. The theme for 2008 is Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu. Classes are ran by Shihan Marcus Dwyer whose aim is to pass on the teachings of authentic Bujinkan and Ninjutsu martial arts as thought by Dr. Massaki Hatsumi, Grandmaster.
Beginners are always welcome at the Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo as we run introductory courses every 8 weeks.
Hope to see you soon on the mats?

 

 

What is the Bujinkan?

 

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is the collection of ancient Martial Arts and techniques inherited by 34th Soke (Grandmaster) Masaaki Hatsumi. There are nine schools of martial study which form the core of the Bujinkan, each with their own specialities and differences. Three of these schools are Ninjutsu, and are the only forms of Ninjutsu surviving, while the others are of more typical of the Japanese martial arts of antiquity. As a general rule, classes do not separate the sub-schools but teach the forms as a unified whole to concentrate on training and skills to the student rather than history. The main aspects are unarmed combat, staff weapons, spear, halberd, sword and knife.
