About Doug Wilson
Doug has lived in Japan and trained at the hombu dojo under Hatsumi Sensei for many years. He holds the rank of Judan Ku-gyo Happo Biken Menkyo (aka 15th Dan) and has an extremely good understanding of Hatsumi Sensei’s Budo. He regularly acts as translator for Hatsumi Sensei at training both at the Hombu Dojo in Noda and also at Soke’s Tuesday night Ayase training. If you have attended a Daikomyosai training event in Japan or watched a DVD in the last 10 years, you have heard Doug’s translations. Doug also worked very closely with Hatsumi Soke for the translation of Advanced Stick Fighting, Japanese Sword Fighting and the recently released Unarmed Fighting Techniques of the Samurai – released by Kondansha International.
He has been involved in martial arts for more than 27 years.and apart from his vast training experience with Hatsumi Soke, Doug has also experienced training with the majority of the Bujinkan Shihan both Japanese and foreign. Of particular note was the chance he had to train with Oguri Shihan for the period of one year, learning the characteristics of Takagi Yoshin Ryu (Oguri Shihan is highly regarded in the Bujinkan dojo for is ability in Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu).
Before living in Japan, Doug had the experience of training for several years under the guidance of Bill Atkins. While training here, he operated a branch of the Bujinkan Ten Chi Jin dojo in San Diego, California where he lived and taught for six years. (The Ten Chi Jin Dojo is recognized by the Hombu Dojo and Hatsumi Soke.) Here, Doug had the experience of teaching members of the Navy Seals, local law enforcement agencies, private investigators and bounty hunters. He also developed and ran a martial arts program for children at the US Navy base Miramar, focusing on motor development skills using the taihenjutsu skills of the Bujinkan dojo.
Doug has experience teaching seminars throughout the US as well as Australia and Thailand. Doug hopes to be able to offer a direct transmission of the teachings of Hatsumi Soke, bringing the training flavor of Japan to attendees at this seminar.
This is a special section of our website that is dedicated to other Bujinkan clubs around the world who share the same Bujinkan values and who we would recommend you to train with.
The theme for 2009 is said to be ‘no theme’ but at the same time Hatsumi Soke has asked that we spend more time on our kihon and at the same time, also focus on the study of the ken, or sword. He has also said that a trinity of ideas will be part of our focus for 2009. They are:
These three ideas are said to be important parts of progression for a martial artist and co-exist with similar three-part maxims such as Shin Gi Tai (Heart, Skill, Body). So what does this mean on a practical level for our training in 2009?

teaching Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Ninjutsu) in Wiltshire & Gloucestershire. Bujinkan KoShin Dojo Cirencester, Gloucestershire - Monday 7pm - 9pm Bujinkan KoShin Dojo Yate, Bristol - Thursday 7pm - 9pm The Bujinkan KoShin Dojo has been teaching Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Bujinkan Ninjutsu) for over the past 20 years. With it's Senior Instructor Shidoshi David Oliver who has been training in this art for over 25 years. Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu training is generally referred to as "Taijutsu", and is composed of both armed and unarmed methods of fighting. Unarmed methods are broken down into three primary categories, dakentaijutsu (striking forms), jūtaijutsu (grappling forms), and taihenjutsu (body movement skills). Much of the basic taijutsu taught to beginners comes from six primary lineages in the Bujinkan compendium, namely Kotō-ryū, Gyokko-ryū, Shinden Fudō-ryū,Takagi Yōshin-ryū, Kuki Shinden-ryū, and Togakure-ryū.
Many weapons are taught: sword (bamboo shinai, wooden bokken, dull metal sword iaitō or swords made by soft modern materials), staffs of various lengths (bō, jō, hanbō), rope, spear, tessen (iron fan), naginata (Japanese halberd) and more. Weapons are categorised into four primary classes - sticks, blades, flexibles, and projectiles.
The Bujinkan Dōjō method is named Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu (武神館武道体術), and is a collection of nine martial arts family lineages,
called Ryūha. The art was previously called Bujinkan Ninpō Taijutsu and before that it was known under the more generic name of ninjutsu.
