Words can not express the experience I had while practicing Bujinkan. I am having to take a break from it for the time being but I will definitely be going back when the time is right!!

Great group of people! Challenging in more ways than expected. Michael’s teachings are about more than just form. Applicable to other aspects of life. Everyone is always looking to learn something new.

Michael is a great instructor who explains the how and why behind what he shows. He has a vast knowledge of Japan and the historical aspect behind what he teaches. If you are looking for some authentic teachings i would highly recommend taking some classes.
