InformationThe highest ranking member of the Bujingodai Dojo and the guidance for the training of the school is Shihan Johan C. Ospina a 6th Dan, Johan has been training in the art of Ninjutsu for over 20 years.Johan has a fierce aggressiveness and a gentle heart at the same time.Our school of the Honshin Ryu, makes no claims.There is no direct lineage to the style. Honshin Ryu is new itself. It has been amalgamated of studies over the past years. From some Koga traditionalists, some the the Bujinkan past and other independent Ninjutsu experiences. Accents of Karate and Aikijutsu are also highlighted. It is a no nonsense effective system, no flash, no glitz, just simple sleek and efficient.
We train as traditional as these days permit. We train in the methods of those before us. The methods of stealth and techniques of concealment. There are many skills to be learned in the school one should never consider themselves done by any stretch of the imagination. The most important aspect to the art is to make your life better and to have fun. We preach clan dedication. If you are not here all the way, Go Home.
Our Credo stands for our beliefs: Loyalty, Honour, Courage, Respect. These are very self explanatory, if they do not make sense to you then you have no place in the dojo.We try to have as many guests as possible to the dojo, cross-training is part of the experience. There is always something to be learned from everyone. With seminars from Nindo Ryu, Warrior Quest, Jackson Wagner and Johan Ospina, their skills were fantastic, a wonderful feeling of community spirit and brotherhood among practitioners was achieved. I look forward to many more.The Bujingodai Dojo participates in many activities to build friendship, from camping and trips as a group to a monthly movie night. There is so much more to the training than just the physical technique.Sensei Dave Gibb and the Bujingodai Dojo is a founding member of the United Ninjutsu Voice(UNV),an organization dedicated to the networking of independant Ninjutsu groups all throughout the world. Giving them a place to speak, up front without the political harassment of other organizations. If the path is being followed, that is what matters. |
