Bujinkan Martial Arts West London Dojo

Bujinkan Martial Arts West London Dojo has been a fixture in the London martial arts scene for decades, led by a main instructor who began training in the Bujinkan arts in 1990 and has made over 35 visits to Japan since 1993 to study directly under Dr Masaaki Hatsumi and his senior students. The head instructor is a Bujinkan Dai Shihan and holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with extensive cross-training in MMA and kickboxing. His approach is rooted in transmitting the authentic teachings of the Bujinkan, emphasising both technical depth and practical application, as well as the traditional philosophy that underpins these arts. Training at the dojo is open to adults aged 18 and over, with a straightforward drop-in policy for those wishing to watch or try a class. The schedule features all-levels Bujinkan classes, advanced sessions, and a regular main instructor’s class. Newcomers are welcome to start in comfortable clothing, with the option to invest in a gi—any colour, though black is common—once settled. The training format blends striking, grappling and self-defence, reflecting the integrated nature of Bujinkan martial arts, and students are encouraged to bring boxing gloves if they have them. The dojo is based at Matthews Community Hall on Margravine Road, providing a central location for those in West London seeking serious martial arts training. Membership requires agreement with Bujinkan’s strict guidelines on conduct and personal responsibility, and all students must register with the club and obtain annual membership. The instructor’s long-standing commitment to both personal development and the global Bujinkan community shapes the ethos of the club, making it a place for dedicated adults to study martial arts in depth under experienced guidance.
