Bujinkan Estonia
What is Bujinkan Estonia?
Bujinkan
Estonia is the dôjô for people
who share the passion of training the teachings of Sôke Masaaki
Hatsumi.
Training is an education to become a better person by practicing the knowledge brought back by battlefield survivors already 1000 years ago. Their knowledge were passed on and adapted to the time and the life lived (Budo). The current teacher of this long line is our Sôke (grand master) who were given 9 of these schools by his teacher Toshitsugu Takamatsu, who some regard as the last real ninja. Sôke officially opened this kind of teaching to the West and created Bujinkan.
We continue this tradition in Bujikna Estonia. Our vision is to united Budo practitioners in Bujinkan of Estonia, with respect to the individual dojos way of training.
Bujinkan Estonia wants to keep the spirit of real life (Jissen) in the training. We all bleed the same blood, regardless of race, religion, sex or nationality – so we see only human beings in our dojo. Today we have few, or no enemies, but our own ego. And though we train together, it is the practitioner who is working on him-/herself by the help of others.
If a martial artist
practicing Budo does not eventually work with him-/herself to destroy
the ego and try absorbing and understanding more positive values of
life to evolve, we believe the training will never forge the right
attitude in a student.
The training is about your life, and it begins and ends with you.
Students comments:
be more than just a physical workout and skills to stand up for myself if necessary. Studying Bujinkan opened up a new world of oriental thinking for me. While training we will be introduced to it bit by bit, but having been practised Bujinkan for 2 years, I feel, how the bigger picture begins to slowly reveal itself .
The training itself is a nice combination of hand-to-hand and weapons techniques, breaking down your enemy with throws, emissions and all sorts of "nasty" techniques, which are banned in most sports, because they work too well. In addition to combat there is room for developing coordination, balance and different ways of movement and evasion.
Everything I've learned from other workouts can only be a benefit, and vice versa. Every lesson I learn something new - this goes for
techniques as well as something I learn about myself. So if you are
looking for versatile martial arts and a possibility to develop
yourself, there is no better option than to come and see what we are
doing at our dojo.
