The Saint Louis Bujinkan Dojo provides martial arts training for adults through the study of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. The art is composed of nine traditional Japanese martial arts that each have a different focus in combat. Striking, grappling, weapons, or stealth, each art specializes in a different form of combat to create a complete art where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It is through the in-depth study of these nine arts that a student learns to use natural body movement applied with balance, timing, and distancing into the cohesive martial art that we refer to as Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.
Students of our art train in a balanced curriculum of strikes, throws, chokes, locks and submissions that were all meant to be done in and out of armor and with the additional use of weapons. These arts also include a full arsenal of traditional weaponry such as Japanese katana, bo, yari, and naginata. The result of our training is a well rounded individual with skills that can be adapted to any real life conflict. The goal of our dojo is to find like minded people who wish to explore ancient warrior thought and culture through the martial arts, and to carry on these traditions to future generations while upholding the standards set by our headquarters in Noda-shi Japan.
