# Shadow Warrior Bujinkan Dojo Kingston
Shadow Warrior Bujinkan Dojo Kingston offers practical self-defence training rooted in authentic Ninjutsu martial arts tradition. Based in Kingston upon Thames, the dojo teaches Bujinkan Ninjutsu as instructed by the 34th Grandmaster Dr Masaaki Hatsumi, blending ancient warrior philosophy with modern self-protection techniques.
The dojo serves individuals of all experience levels, explicitly welcoming beginners alongside experienced practitioners. Their approach, termed "Ancient Warrior, Modern Man," distinguishes them by honouring traditional martial arts heritage whilst emphasising contemporary real-world applications. Training encompasses a comprehensive curriculum including strikes, grappling, ground fighting, throws, locks and both modern and historic weapons training.
What sets Shadow Warrior apart is their commitment to pacifying opponents through appropriate means rather than aggression, underpinned by samurai and ninja principles adapted for today's world. They recognise that effective learning requires multiple approaches, offering three distinct training avenues: weekly dojo sessions, regular weekend seminars throughout the year, and structured solo training programmes for individual practice.
Classes operate twice weekly—Wednesday evenings at Leander Sea Scouts (8:15-10pm) and Sunday afternoons at Canbury Gardens (3-5pm)—making them accessible to Kingston's community. The dojo positions itself as more than a gym; it's a serious martial arts school delivering practical self-defence education grounded in legitimate, time-tested combat systems rather than commercialised fitness trends.
