AFFILIATIONS

 

 

We are closely aligned with Sensai Dean who runs Shinken Dojo at Wishart Brisbane and Sensai Raymond who often trains at either Dojo and always has plenty to teach.  Raymond, Dean and myself train together, run our school syllabus very similar and travel to Japan together with some of our students every 2 years.

Sensai Dean

Shinken Dojo at Wishart Bris Kids Classes

Our Hokkaido Wolves Self Defence training combines the traditional values and discipline of Ninjutsu with the knowledge and awareness of today’s issues that our children face, including “bullying” and violence in society.

Our Hokkaido Wolves learn self defence, stranger awareness, fitness, self discipline, self respect, confidence, anti-bully awareness, flexibility and co-ordination.

Adult Classes
At Shinkan Dojo’s we concentrate on the basics which is the Kihon Happo and Sanshin no Kata. The ” Kihon Happo ” can be translated as ” Basic Eight Ways ” and forms the core of the Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu hand to hand fighting system.The Kihon Happo is the basis of all Taijutsu, but also that these eight techniques are really just the beginning.

Meifu Shinkage Ryu
Martial Life Skills is also registered with Meifu Shinkage Ryu as an official Keikokai (Shuriken training group), guided by Otsuka-Sensei, the current Head Master of Meifu Shinkage-ryû (Soke).

His skills are recognized and highly appreciated by many Budoka in the world. Currently Otsuka-Sensei guides and teaches about 200 students world-wide.
