The Bujinkan Dojo - Nottingham was founded in 2003 by Shidoshi Ilja Hoffmann as a part of the Martial Art School - Nottingham. The martial arts taught by us are known under the name Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and incorporate the teachings of nine different Ninja (Ninjutsu) and Samurai (Ju-Jutsu) schools, which are listed below.

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu composes of both, armed and unarmed fighting methods, which are practised in their traditional forms as well as in modern self-defence applications. During your training, you will be taught how to roll, punch, kick and throw correctly, how to fight on the ground as well as how to apply pressure points, wrist locks, arm bars and other techniques. Further, you will be shown how to handle traditional Japanese weapons such as Swords (Tachi, Katana, Wakazashi), Staffs (Bo, Jo, Hanbo), Nawa (Rope), Naginata (Glaive), Shuriken (Throwing Stars) and more.
