Introduction

Welcome to the website of the Bujinkan Cambridge Dojo. We study the martial art of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, also known as Ninjutsu. The art studied in the Bujinkan is a mix of nine different schools of Japanese martial art. Three of these are ninjutsu schools, the others are classical warrior schools. All nine encompass both armed and unarmed training. Feel free to read through some Frequently Asked Questions, particularly if you're interested in training with us.

The Cambridge Dojo is run by Shihan Jake Sharpstone, 11th Dan. Jake makes regular trips to Japan in order to study with Hatsumi sensei and the other senior members of the Bujinkan. All of our instructors are fully licenced members of the Bujinkan Dojo, the international organisation headed by Dr Hatsumi, in Noda City, Japan.

Shihan Pedro Fleitas Gonzalez

We are proud to announce that Shihan Pedro Fleitas Gonzalez will return to Cambridge for a seminar on the 4th and 5th of October 2008. Further details are here!

Pedro Fleitas Gonzales DVDs still available

We still have a supply of DVDs available from Pedro's seminar in Cambridge in 2006. Please view this page to find out more information, including how to order.

Here's an interesting video from a TV show in Japan, with some good footage of training and some comments from Bujinkan members


We do:
  • Invite anyone of any age, size, shape or previous martial arts experience to come and train with us.
  • Have a friendly, helpful and informal training atmosphere.
  • Cover a wide range of topics, from unarmed self-defence, using and defending against modern and historical weapons, mental attitude and awareness.
  • Have a wide variety of people from different backgrounds, and people with martial arts experience ranging from 30 years to a few weeks, and from the super-fit to those who have never exercised before.
  • Attend many seminars and courses, train with other clubs and high-level instructors, including visits to Japan.
We don't:
  • Expect you to fend off 20 attackers after your first lesson.
  • Hide in the bushes wearing face masks, throwing poison darts at people.
