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.

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.

UK -ADRIAN PEPPER-DUNDEE

Adrian Pepper I have been training in this martial art since 1992 off and on, training with various instructors in various parts of the UK as commitments would allow. In 2002 I moved up to Scotland on a permanent basis and had the opportunity to get back into this martial art I love so much. I travelled throughout the UK, training on numerous courses with fantastic instructors and making some great friends. Then in 2004 I opened this club in Dundee and set out on the next step in my martial arts career. Throughout this time I have carried on with my own studies, regularly attending more courses to expand my knowledge and skills. Many of these courses have been with my teacher and good friend Brian Duckers, based in the Wirral. Additionally, I have also enjoyed two trips to Japan during this time, training with our Soke, Masaaki Hatsumi and his senior Japanese Shihan. I was graded to 4th Dan during my most recent trip to Japan.

Since that time I have been to several Tai Kai, and trained in Japan with several of the Japanese instructors, as well as, Hatsumi sensei at the Honbu. Before becoming a shidoshi, I was a student of Joe Maurantonio, who's dojo is located in New York. U.S.A.-DALE SEAGO Excellent site of Dale Seago, Dale`s a very respected and knowledgeable senior member of the Bujinkan, his work and life experience speaks for itself. U.S.A.-DON ROLEY The Colorado Springs Bujinkan is a training group dedicated to the study of martial arts and self defense mainly centering around the methods and techniques of the Bujinkan. The theme of training is to learn from the past to apply the lessons to the future. While things like swords are taught, the emphasis is on being able to get home in one piece after a violent attack. The use of sticks, knives and pistols are taught alongside classical weaponry with the goal of learning the core skills that do not change over time even if the applications do. Students will learn things as diverse as how to fight with an axe, how to recognize and avoid danger and how to shoot a firearm. Most of the training revolves around empty hand skills. The movements are designed to be usable by a wide variety of people. Students are encouraged to keep as fit as they can, but there is no need to be covered in muscles in order to do well. There are no flashy moves or catering to those seeking fantasy. Only serious students willing to make a commitment to excellence will be accepted. Our standards are high. The knowledge is too easily abused to risk teaching to the wrong people. Training dates and times will be told only after an interview and possible background check. Those that think they can pass the requirements to join should contact the head instructor, Don Roley, at Keldaerismaster@yahoo.com. The warrior journey begins The teacher Don Roley spent almost 15 years studying the Bujinkan in Japan and his total experience in the art is over 20 years. When master instructor Hiroshi Nagase could not make class, it was Don he asked to teach in his place. Many Japanese instructors used him as a translator for class. He is widely acknowledged as an expert in ninjutsu and its history and is currently working on a translation of an ancient text of ninjutsu. He has worked as a pistol instructor, served in the military and studied a variety of martial arts since 1978. He hates his mother in law. U.S.A.-DUFF CULP Duff Culp- Bujinkan Sanami Dojo TX--Joining the Bujinkan in 1999 Duff Culp on an invite from a friend unsuspectingly began his love of Budo Taijutsu. Unknown to him at the time the depth this art would take him. Duff Culp began his martial arts training as a child training in Nippon Kan Aikido, Kenpo Karate, and many other brief encounters with other arts. As a teenager Mr. Culp trained in Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido, a form based more on energy awareness than technique, this would prove valuable. Training under the guidance of Shihan Shawn Gray, Mr. Culp has also been to many Tai Kai\\\'s to train with Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. Along with this Duff Culp trains with local teachers and other Shihan at seminars and is always looking for opportunities to learn more. He plans to take his first trip to Japan in 2009. Duff Culp is at a point in his training where only the best will do. Always looking to the heart of the matter and holding his students and himself to the highest standards. He loves to share and to help others to better their lives. He welcomes all with a good heart who wish to make a positive impact on themselves and their communities.

U.S.A.-JESS ATTILLI Good friend Jess Attill in Seville, Ohio U.S.A.-JESSY AMBLO About Our Dojo Located along lake Champlain in the scenic Green Mountains of Vermont, The Bujinkan Kongoshin Dojo is the oldest bujinkan dojo in Vermont. We are a fully licensed, traditional martial training environment endorsed by Grandmaster Hatsumi. The dojo itself and many of the tools we train with, are hand crafted by Shidoshi Amblo and some of the senior students. Every year, Grandmaster Hatsumi reveals the theme of study to be conducted for the year. Shidoshi Amblo travels to Japan to train with Grandmaster and his Shihan to get the heart and feeling of the area of study. This, in turn, is the assigned training for the year Shidoshi brings home for us. The heart to heart, person to person (kaden) training with Grandmaster and his shihan is absolutely essential. We train very hard with each other to make our Budo real. .S.A.-KYLE S HAYES It`s in Orange County so I wonder if he`s near the Orange County Choppers????? and he`s NO relation to Steven K Hayes
