Bujinkan Crawley Dojo

General information

Our organisation is not a business or for profit; it is a school of endurance, both physical and mental, and traditional martial knowledge.

Bujinkan is made up of nine separate ryūha, or schools, which have been integrated into one system, called Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu. Overseen and guided by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi of Noda Japan: 34th Grandmaster of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu and founder of the Bujinkan Dojo. Training aims to develop the ability to protect oneself and others using techniques that focus on disabling or neutralising an attacker as efficiently as possible. It is open to all with a sincere wish to learn the Japanese martial arts, no previous martial arts experience is necessary.

At the Crawley Dojo the class is taught by Alastair Gould who is a Bujinkan 6th Dan black belt (Shidoshi) and has been training in the Bujinkan for over twenty years. He trains on a regular basis with Shihan Peter King, who is the senior instructor for the Bujinkan in the UK and also trains with Hatsumi Soke and other Japanese Shihans in Japan.
