The ideal of earning a Black Belt sounds great, everybody wants one, yet very few are willing to do what it takes to become one.

In the Bujinkan, a Black Belt is a dime a dozen, however, good Black Belts are very rare indeed. Many teachers will hand out Black Belts like candy, not me, every student of mine has to earn it the old fashion way with perseverance determination and a positive mental attitude.

One of my requirements for Black Belt is that a student has a flexible body, an open mind and a good heart, attitude is everything.

  Bujinkan Martial Arts is an eclectic blend of nine ancient warrior traditions dating back to ancient feudal Japan. These nine Ryu are taught collectively as one complete system known primarily as Bujinkan Budô Taijutsu.

  The nine schools of the Bujinkan are deeply rooted throughout Japan's legendary Martial Arts history and considered by many to be a Martial Artist's last stop on the quest to finding an authentic Warrior Martial Arts discipline.
