INTERNATIONAL BUJINKAN DOJO ASSOCIATION
American Bujinkan Dojo / Official Ranking Roster

The official ranks listed below indicate student ranking that is certified by the International Bujinkan Dojo Association™/American Bujinkan Dojo™, granted by Shihan Richard Van Donk and issued through Soke Masaaki Hatsumi at the Hombu Dojo in Japan.

Many students have gone out on on their own with the support and encouragement of Shihan Van Donk and have established other relationships to obtain higher certification in Ninjutsu. While we most likely recognize their new rank we will only list here on this page the level of certification that they have received from us at American Bujinkan Dojo™. Please see the International Bujinkan Dojo Association™ page for possible advancements and a listing of hombu certified Bujinkan Dan ranking practitioner levels. While we at American Bujinkan Dojo™ have a very solid study curiculum, many others do not. The ranks we have certified were earned to our tough standards and shall be recognized worldwide not only in the Bujinkan but by the world's leading Soke and Grandmastership Councils. Be the best you can be in life.
