NINJUKAI TAIJUTSU

WHAT ARE WE ALL ABOUT?

  We are practitioners of Ninjukai Taijutsu - and Ninjukai Taijutsu is BU-DO. Bu-do is often wrongly translated as "martial art". In essence Bu-Do means "human spontaneity as it relates to the Do or Nature". It is about the blending of the man's mind with his body as he learns to respond to his surroundings. Your opponent is looked upon as also a part of your surroundings. This is where modern martial arts have gone astray. They become just another fighting form where emphasis is placed purely on physical excellence in tournaments or perhaps another exercise form where the students routinely go through a set of rigid exercise movements known as katas. The almost complete neglect of the mind in martial training is appalling.

  This web-site is our way of informing you about what Ninjukai Taijutsu is, the comprehensive adult syllabus - from Novice to Black Belt, the way we teach our younger members and our ongoing roster of activities. Please browse through and gain an understanding of how "bu-do" can develop the whole person and not just feed the ego.

A PEEK INSIDE OUR SITE

About Ninjukai will give an overview of the Art, its History, the Syllabus & the Shihan.

Meditation shows an insight into Tao Meditation and Thought. This aspect takes the art from a merely physical activity to a journey of spiritual enlightenment.

Juniors talks about our Children's Syllabus. Giving young people the opportunity to experience Budo, the balance of mind & body, sets them on a path of personal growth that isn't dependent on "being #1 or being a failure".

Junior Camps links you to information about our Annual Junior Camps. A one-day event allowing us to show our junior members how their techniques learnt in the dojo can be taken outside into a more random environment.

Displays and Workshops is about our Sokudo Squad. A team of Ninjukai members who do displays for schools, charity events & council fairs. For twenty years this team has taken the art to the public and photos of recent & past events can be viewed within. Our squad also conducts customised workshops for corporate groups or schools.

Instructors gives information about our teaching program. Senior Ninjukai students join the ICP (Instructors Certificate Program) to broaden their understanding of the syllabus. Through this program we can ensure the quality of instruction received by our students.

Camps details our Annual Bush Camps. These one or two-day events takes the senior members into a natural bush setting, away from the predictability of the Dojo. In this environment students learn how to become spontaneous with their techniques and approach to the world. Look inside for photo's from previous camps.

Social Events looks into our regular Awards Ceremony's. These functions are get-together's where members & guests enjoy a meal, light entertainment and receive grading certificates. Follow the link for details of the next event or past functions.
