Imagine yourself traveling to Noda city Japan with Master Richard
Van Donk this year to personally meet and actually train in
private with Soke Hatsumi in a small dojo setting! Everyday
you'll go to train at the dojos of several other Shihan teachers,
sight see ancient temples, visit museums and explore the world
of Japanese living. Shihan Van Donk will also spend time training
with you and covering points of the days teachings. Visit Tokyo
to see the famous Meiji Park and gardens, and the Imperial Palace.
Travel to 400 year old Nikko Golden temple shrines. Any serious
Japanese martial arts practitioner should go to the roots and
core of the lineage that they practice. It creates a bond and
feeling that cannot be gotten any other way. Just being there
changes the way you perceive the art.
And then there is training in the Bujinkan
Hombu Dojo (which is called the Bujinden -Palace of the Divine
Warrior) with the Grandmaster himself. Wow! You will never forget
this experience.

attend these events. The theme is Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu
and Sword.

In fact it has been a once in a lifetime trip for many who have
gone on this trip with Shihan Van Donk... others are so impacted
they keep going back at least once a year. It is highly recommenced
that you have some training in Ninjutsu BEFORE this trip. Most
all training's will be filled with blackbelts and most likely
taught at a high blackbelt level. It is also highly recommended
that you go to Japan the first time with a senior instructor
who can show the country, teach you some proper etiquette, introduce
you to senior teachers, take you to the dojo training's, where
to eat, and etc. before you go on your own.
This Ninjutsu Japan Study Tour to the Source
of Ninjutsu is led and sponsored personally by Shihan Van Donk
(Bujinkan, a 15th dan direct student of Ninjutsu Grandmaster
Hatsumi. ) who has been to Japan over 35+ times. Richard will
also be teaching a personal enlightenment method to those who
desire to learn during this fabulous journey to Japan the land
of the rising sun.
Come visit Japan's very rich ancient
culture and train at the source of the art at a time when masters
from around the world will share their talents.
Limited in size for a very personal experience.
