Recently we have been setting up a standalone Shurikenjutsu club called Shinobi Shurikenjutsu which launches today! (Thursday 5th September) Now this really isn’t as simple as you might expect, there has been so much paperwork to sort out to ensure we are operating to the industry standard that it’s taken me about a week to sort everything out. So what is Shinobi Shurikenjutsu? Shinobi Shurikenjutsu is a throwing club completely separate from the Rugby Ninjutsu Dojo to provide a platform for everyone to come along and give Knife, Axe and Bo Shuriken (Spike) throwing a go! Students of the Rugby...

We are officially back in the dojo this week with lessons restarting for the Real Mini Ninjas at 5pm on the 7th of January! We hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you all back in the dojo! It’s been an eventful few weeks whilst we have been closed and we have implemented several changes for 2020!

Over the years the dojo has gone by several names. We started back in 2016 as the Bujinkan Rugby Dojo and our first lessons were hosted at Overslade Community Centre in Rugby. When we first started the dojo it was hard! I had two students both who were members of my family and although I’d been training in Ninjutsu for years i had no idea how to run a successful dojo!  We had no mats, barely any equipment aside from my personal stuff and were completely unknown in the local community.  When i moved to Rugby from Portsmouth I noticed...

One of the most iconic weapons of the Ninja is undoubtedly the Shuriken (Hand Hidden Blade). There are 3 main types of Shuriken: Bo Shuriken - Throwing Spikes Hira Shuriken - Ninja Stars Tantogata - Throwing Knives Each have their own benefits and disadvantages in combat. For example you will penetrate deeper into the target with Bo Shuriken and Tantogata but you have to judge the distance to the target and throw accordingly whereas Hira Shuriken are easier to use but often will do less damage or bounce off the target. There are exceptions to this such as Yagyu Shinkage...
