U.S.A.-LUKE MOLLITOR

Great friend Luke Mollitor Welcome to the Jigoku Dojo website. The Jigoku Dojo is a private, non-commercial institution dedicated to the study and training of the classical Japanese military arts and sciences (koryu budo) in their formal and modern applications in a non-competitive environment. Our training is based on several different classical Japanese warrior ryuha or lineages that are contained in the Bujinkan Dojo, all of which date back several centuries and were developed for the exclusive use of the aristocratic warrior class. These traditions are comprehensive systems of warfare that encompass a wide variety of weapons, strategy, tactical skills, and philosophical teachings that were forged and honed through several generations of intense conflict into the most sophisticated and efficient systems of combat known. The warrior lineages found at the Jigoku Dojo do not rely on strength, size, or speed; rather seek to resolve conflicts through the utilization of natural principles of movement, psychology, awareness, and strategy. These arts have not been degraded or watered down for sport or personal refinement, nor do they contain artificial rules. They are authentic battlefield arts that retain their true and effective martial capabilities. Through proper integration of the training and teachings, the student becomes a stronger, more powerful, capable individual who can survive and thrive through adversity.

U.S.A.-PETER CROCOLL

Peter Crocoll has over 35 years of active training experiences in martial arts. He has exclusively trained in the Bujinkan since 1982. Traveling frequently to Japan to stay current with the teachings of Dr. Hatsumi and his senior instructors, Peter is presently at the Ku level of Judan. I believe in the power of the individual to learn and grow, overcoming the difficult obstacles and challenges faced in a lifetime. I believe that Bujinkan Ninpo and Budo Taijutsu provide the necessary tools and skills to meet the challenges and to prevail against the obstacles while discovering ways of becoming masters of our own destinies and to serve as guides for succeeding generations to understand the value of a true Martial Art. - Peter Crocoll

U.S.A.-PHIL LEGARE

I hope you will enjoy this site and that you use it often. I'm Phillip Legare, founder of the BTSD & ShinkenTaijutsu. After moving to Japan in 2003, I realized it was time to revamp the old BTSD site. Due to world events, Hatsumi Sensei no longer travels outside of Japan to teach the art of Budo Taijutsu. He realizes though, that students around the world still desire to learn his budo directly from him. Because of my long association with Sensei and because I can train with him on a weekly basis, Hatsumi Sensei has authorized me to provide demonstrations of current lessons and techniques on the Internet.
