Mr.
Dan Klug (10th Dan Bujinkan) is a licensed teacher (Shidoshi)
of Budo Taijutsu under Hatsumi Soke of the Bujinkan Honbu in
Noda-shi, Japan. He began studying martial arts in the state
of Washington, where he grew up.
Shidoshi Klug first learned of Budo Taijutsu in the late 1980’s
and trained in a few seminars offered in his area. Upon making
the decision to study Budo Taijutsu full time, he moved to Dayton,
Ohio.
Shidoshi Klug trained at Kurt Rittenhouse Martial Arts (and
briefly at "The Barn") and quickly became one of the
dojo’s top students. After many years of dedicated training
under Shidoshi Kurt Rittenhouse and frequent trips to Japan,
Mr. Klug passed the Godan 5th Degree Black Belt test under Hatsumi
Soke in 1995.
In January 2005, Dan Klug was given his Judan from Hatsumi Soke
at the Bujinkan Hombu in Japan.
Shidoshi Dan Klug continues to expand his knowledge of Budo
Taijutsu by visiting Japan to train with Hatsumi Soke and the
Shihans, as well as through constant solo training. He also trains
regularly with a MMA club and has experience in the amatuer boxing
arena.
Many of the senior students at the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo have
known Shidoshi Klug for many years and continue to accept his
guidance in Budo Taijutsu. His teaching style and training ability
are always anticipated with excitement.
Shidoshi Klug demonstrates the honorable and disciplined path
that Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu can provide. We thank Shidoshi Klug
for opening his warrior heart (bushin) to us and mentoring our
Taijutsu training.
