Returned from Bujinkan 2026 Noguchi Tai Kai | Detroit, MI
From March 6-8, 2026, several of our dojo members traveled to Detroit, Michigan, for the Bujinkan 2026 Noguchi Tai Kai hosted by Sean Askew. More than 110 attendees from multiple States and countries participated. Witnessing Noguchi Sensei’s movement at 84 years young remains inspiring; he demonstrated effortless precision in every strike, throw, and weapon take-down. A key takeaway: mastery of the Bujinkan kihon is the gateway to henka. This was a recurring point from the featured guest instructors too; build the capability through the basics, and the variations will follow naturally. Beyond the training, it was a pleasure to reconnect with buyu from across the globe. A huge congratulations to Sean Askew and his team for hosting such a successful event. Back to training…much to study and work on.
