Come to our Dojō to learn Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu: a school created by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi Sensei, which has 9 different styles of traditional Japanese martial arts.
We study traditional samurai and ninja martial arts in a very safe and controlled environment and with a semi-formal etiquette. We practice Junan Taiso – Ryutai Undo: warm–up and stretching exercises; Taijutsu: empty handed combat techniques and the use of several ancient weapons like: Daishō: Katana (long sword) and Wakizashi (short sword), Hanbō (short staff), Rokushaku Bō (long staff), Yari (spear), among others.
Come, meet new friends and exercise your body, spirit and heart with true and real Budō, combining traditional Japanese training and techniques with nowadays realistic approach.
Masaaki Hatsumi was born on the 2nd of December, 1931 in the city of Noda, Japan. Since an early age he was introduced to several martial arts like Kendo, Judo and Karate.
During college he received the 4th Dan in Judo and began teaching American soldiers at the military base at Yokota.
Shihan Gustavo Arguello or Gus, like his friends call him affectionately, was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1981. He began training Bujinkan at the Gokui Dojō in 2001 with Shihan Antonio Rodríguez (www.nybujin.com) and later with Shihan Rafael Franco at the Kiryu Dojō (www.kiryudojo.com).
We have no competitions, tournaments or spotlights. The only real match is within yourself to become a better person. We believe in the development of honest and trustworthy human beings with remarkable principles and ethics through martial arts, which can contribute positively to the society and make a better world.
