Our beginners courses are run on an ongoing basis. The modern curriculum in the Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo teaches multiple fighting skills involved within Ninjutsu, including: punching, kicking, locks, chokes, throws, grappling, rolling and break falls. In addition to traditional Japanese weapons including Sword, Bojutsu, Hanbo, Knife and more. 

All are welcome, no prior martial arts experience is required! All we ask is that you bring an Open Mind and an Open Heart. Taking up the Bujinkan / Budo arts will forever change your life, this is your first step along that path. 
The Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo follow’s the yearly theme which comes directly from Soke Hatsumi out of the Honbu Dojo in Noda Chi, Japan. Shihan Marcus Dwyer is fully committed to travelling to Japan to train with Soke Hatsumi and the various other Japanese Shihan, and supplement’s this training continuously by attending as many seminars and event’s as possible throughout the World!  

Interested in taking up Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu?

The Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo gets lots of enquiries from people who are interested in what we do, so every 8 weeks we run dedicated twelve-week beginner’s courses at the Lucan and Leixlip Dojo. These courses are designed to give people a basic introduction to how we do things in the Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo. 
So what happens during the classes if you join up? Each 1 hour class will include instruction in:
- Stretching and Bujinkan etiquette 
- Ukemi (rolling and receiving skills) 
- Kamae (postures) 
- Basic Locking, Punching, Kicking and Throwing techniques.
- Bujinkan Taijutsu (Body movement) based on the San Shin no Kata and Kihon Happo no Kata (fundamental Bujinkan unarmed training techniques)

After studying the technical material contained in this twelve week course the participant is then eligible to take their first grading within the Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo. 
If you are interested in taking up training at the Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo please call the instructor Marcus Dwyer and arrange a time to visit the dojo and sit in a class and see what this art looks like and what we have to offer. This will give you a good idea of what we do, and also afford us the opportunity to answer any questions you may have.

But please phone or text in advance to 087-6882201 to let us know that you will be attending, this is due to the fact that some classes are for Bujinkan Dwyer Dojo black belts only and therefore are private.
