This Is REAL Training
If you want rank you will have to work hard for it. This is not a rank mill. It will take you about 2 1/2 to 3 years to get your Shodan with hard work and much perseverance.
This Comprehensive Ninjutsu Course (and step-by-step manual) is set up so that you will learn the art of Ninjutsu level by level starting at 9th Kyu as a white belt wearing a black uniform called a gi. Kyu basically means ‘level of attainment’ and is recognized by a certified ranking certificate once you have completed and demonstrated the techniques in front of a qualified International Bujinkan Dojo Association™ Instructor. No instructor nearby? No worries – we make it easy for you! We have a video review system available for students who desire to test and have no certified instructor near them. This video review and certification is available up to the level of 1st Kyu Brown Belt. This is the level just before Shodan (1st degree BlackBelt), your first goal.
The Shodan level is very important to us and to you. This is a special day for you and we want it to be in person. We have a rite of passage test as well as watching you demonstrate what you have learned. You will know you have truly earned your rank as you receive your Black Belt that day and you will be proud to wear it anywhere. Your certification will come from Japan sealed by Grandmaster Hatsumi and will also be signed personally by Doshi Richard Van Donk.
Each level in the Black Belt Ninjutsu Home Study Distant Learning Course is the exact same training that you will learn at an IBDA Ninjutsu dojo and will take you deeper into the training and stack on top of the information that you have previously learned. Soon you will be handling attacks with ease and throwing your partners around, even using many weapons. In fact weapons training starts with the second level and a new weapon is learned at each new level.
The teachings cover the basics from the 9 traditional schools (called ryus in Japan). After you achieve Black Belt status you can continue on, learning each of the individual schools and become certified as a higher level Black Belt such as 2nd degree, 3rd degree, 4th degree all the way up to 10th degree (or dan as it is called in Japan). Take this step with us and become part of an ancient tradition!
Which One of These Qualities Could Change Your Life?
Respect for yourself and others, Body Conditioning, A ‘Never give up’ Attitude, Perseverance, Endurance, the Ability to go past preconceived limits, Focus, Concentration, Increased Self-confidence, Self-esteem, Self-assuredness, Awareness, Goal setting, and Achievement, A new family of friends, Emotional balance, Self defense, personal survival, How to be a teacher, perform in public, public speaking, Spiritual concentration, How to direct energy, Mental sharpness, Competitiveness, Flexibility, Not to fear, feel safe, how to listen, to follow instruction, Leadership, Responsibility, Peace, Resolve, Personal Mastery, Co-ordination, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!!
I never imagined how my life would change from studying the martial arts. Yes, I expected a lot from it but there is no way that from that first time I entered a dojo I ever thought that I might get to the second level belt, much less get to a Black Belt. In fact it was only after two years of hard training that I saw the glimmer of the possibility of becoming a brown belt. And after achieving that it took a few more years of dedication to reach Black belt.
Since that time I have traveled the world teaching and training with many great Grandmasters and became a personal student of several of these Grandmasters, including Soke Masaaki Hatsumi who shared with me his wonderful art of Ninjutsu-Ninpo Taijutsu.
I now have several students who have been promoted to 10th dan (degree-5th level) by him and the International Bujinkan Dojos. Amazing. My life has been blessed.
Join us on this path and start your journey today. We love what we do and are excited and passionate about it. You’ll soon experience why.
