The 2025 Nagato Sensei Tai Kai was a tremendous success!
We extend our deepest gratitude to Nagato Sensei for an inspiring three-day training event at the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo from May 30 to June 1, 2025. Sensei walked around helping practitioners, focusing on Taijutsu, Hanbojutsu, Tantojutsu, Muto Dori, Rokushakubojutsu, Nage Waza, Sutemi Waza, and Shizen Shigoku concepts. There were 105 participants from 19 states and three countries who attended. The opportunity to train in a dojo environment for six sessions with Nagato Sensei (plus three warm-up sessions led by senior dojo instructors) was phenomenal.
Our sincere THANK YOU goes to all the Bujinkan community participants who attended and helped make this a wonderful training event. We also want to express immense appreciation to the dedicated volunteers whose hard work was instrumental in facilitating the event and ensuring Nagato Sensei's Tai Kai was a strong success.
To Steve Olsen, Craig Olson, Dustin, Andy, Tim, and the core event staff volunteers who made the event a success, thank you for your contributions. We couldn’t have done it without you.
We also wish to thank the Montgomery County Council and the and City of Moraine for their individual Proclamation Awards recognizing Nagato Sensei as a Dignitary of the Martial Arts Community in the area.
