Experience the Japanese Martial Art of Ninjutsu - July 15th 2023

Martial Arts in the original sense of the practice is less about fighting and more about life. Some of the traditional arts of Japanese origin embody this in their ideas, movements and philosophies rooted in Zen buddhism. In essence, training a martial art is about training for life, about how to connect with and align with every situation in this ever changing world. It is about learning to pay attention, to be in control of our own thoughts and actions. And also to be responsible for the consequences of our interactions with the world around us. In contrast to the popular views of how martial arts is only for the physically oriented amongst us, and who are in the prime of their life, it is, in fact for everyone, transcending age, gender, fitness and even in some cases health.  

So come and experience this art, and learn the basic ideas which you can apply in everyday life, in your meetings, in your interactions with people, and when and if needed, perhaps in your physical defense too.

No prior experience necessary, just bring an open mind and wear something comfortable.

The bujinkan system of martial arts created by Grandmaster Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, combines 9 different systems of fighting into a comprehensive new form that has been adopted by many global organizations from the military to law enforcement. And as an art form for life, it combines both physical, mental and philosophical learnings to help us evolve into better human beings.
