Ninjutsu: The Original Mixed Martial Art
The Ninpiden Dojo
believes in upholding the traditions of Ninjutsu and Jujutsu
and the spirit in which those arts were developed. The ninja were
noted for their ability to adapt and overcome challenges; finding
their way through the obstacles in their path to achieve their
goals. It is this spirit that we seek to maintain at the Ninpiden
dojos. We honor the traditions of the past as well as developing
the arts of the future.
Martial arts were originally developed as
systems of combat and self defense. Over time they have come to be valued
for the other aspects of
self improvement they offer. Today, martial arts are studied for
various reasons, including
combat skills, fitness, self-defense, sport, self-cultivation,
meditation, mental discipline, character development and building self-confidence.
Here
at the Ninpiden Dojo, we work with our students to help them achieve their
goals and to learn the life skills that will enable
them to move past the obstacles they find in their way.
Seek not to follow in the footsteps of men of old;
seek what
they sought. ~ Matsu Basho
I think a hero is an ordinary individual
who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming
obstacles.
~Christopher Reeve
