Fellow SAS'ers, I need your help again! I am looking for a local Bujinkan school and whilst googling came across this interesting article:

http://www.stainesnews.co.uk/staines-and-ashford-n...

It is recent, I wonder if any of you guys know of him?

Also, any general recommendations for a Bujinkan school within an hours drive of Woking would be greatly appreciated smile

Hehe, sorry, I read the title as schools to educate Ninjas. Am sure that Ninjas would be welcome in most schools around here! smile

On a more serious note though, does it have to be that particular form? As there is a martial arts centre in Frimley that may cover it, and looking at Google, there also appears to be one in Crawley.

Not sure if this is any help, but the Frimley dojo appears to cover quite a bit. Always worth enquiring.

I'm not really familiar with Ninjitsu or that particular Sensei but as his classes offer a free session you could always pop along and see if it's for you?

Furthermore, if you're keen to train in this particular discipline I'm assuming you've had experience in it before and would be able to gauge how competent the Sensei is?

Yeah, I have done Bujinkan before and TBH I enjoy it - emailed the dude and haven't heard back yet... I wonder what other styles are similar to Bujinkan, maybe Aikido?

Aikido is similar but you have to make sure you have a decent teacher as opposed to a softly softly instructor.

A decent jujitsu class could also offer you what you're looking for as opposed to the Brazilian jujitsu variety that's now associated with UFC.

Bujinkan.
I have never seen any style of Aikido similar to any style of Ninjitsu.

Not being a martial arts person this might be completely wrong, but my (now) husband is a jiu jitsu instructor, and is certainly not softly softly!

He's on here as Kelk if you're interested - club based in Guildford.
