Hamilton Bujinkan

About

Bujinkan Dojo in Hamilton ON. Bujinkan is a traditional Japanese martial art practice both in historical and modern contexts, with and without weapons.

Story

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu incorporates both physical and philosophical aspects, training both with and without weapons to teach a complete life-protection system. It does not “specialize” in any particular kind of applications or techniques. Everything is used freely, including unconventional tactics. Principles of movement and strategy are used to constantly find areas of safety and freedom in the midst of conflict.

New Students welcome, no previous training experience or uniform required
Students are encouraged to make their own training weapons and ask questions

At Hamilton Bujinkan we train:
- Ukemi, rolling and breakfalls
- Evasion / escaping from unarmed, armed or multiple attackers
- Use of historical, modern and improvised weapons
- Striking, joint locks, throws and grappling
- Armoured combat and Randori
- Scenario based and spontaneous self-defense
- Awareness and perception skills
- Strategy and tactics with emphasis on unconventional methods
- Ethical warrior mindset

We teach principle based body movements that are universal to unarmed and armed combat. This allows you to be effective and many different scenarios with many different weapons. Training is very informal and intuitive. We do not follow a step by step, or repetitive type of practice. Training is fluid, experience based and often improvisational.
