The Dayton Bujinkan Dojo teaches Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu martial arts for adults six days a week and children twice a week. Training consists of striking, grappling, weapons use, multiple attack and escape/reversal methods via repetitious practice and principle-driven training through the study of nine distinct lineages taught collectively as Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.
The Dayton Bujinkan Dojo has been teaching in the Dayton, Ohio area since 1997. As a Bujinkan Dojo, the school is licensed under the Bujinkan Hombu Shidoshi-Kai Association (International Bujinkan Headquarters in Japan). The dojo's current accommodations include 5500 square feet of space, 100+ tatami-style training mats, two changing/rest rooms, and striking targets & practice weapons for all participants.
