The Bujinkan Mushin Dojo Ringstead
Committed to teaching Budo Taijutsu as it has been passed down from Soke Masaaki Hatsumi, 34th generation Grandmaster of 9 different ryuha, or styles, taught together as Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Budo Taijutsu is translated as “warrior way of body movement” and is focused on balance, distance, timing and flow. Developing these qualities so that this art is dynamic and can be applied to everyday life, and not just as sport or a “living history” study.
Bujinkan Midkent Dojo was founded in April 1998.
The instructor at Midkent Dojo is Stephen Boddy.
Stephen started training in the Bujinkan in 1993. Since then he has travelled many times around Europe and to Japan to learn from Hatsumi-sensei and other leading teachers. He trains regularly with Peter King, the senior instructor in the UK and attends seminars around the country to learn from other visiting teachers.
