‘Back from Japan’ Exploratory Workshop
Explore themes and ideas presented during lessons in Japan
$40 per person
All Bujinkan ranks are welcome to attend
The Dayton Bujinkan Dojo is hosting a ‘Back From Japan’ Exploratory Workshop on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 11 AM to 4:30 PM. This workshop is designed to review and share material explored during a recent training trip to Japan. Although there has not yet been time to fully practice or internalize these lessons, the workshop will present examples of the taijutsu concepts and their kuden (口伝, oral teachings and discussions) encountered during the trip. The goal is to help participants gain fresh perspectives and discover new depth in their Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu practice. The workshop will be taught collectively by multiple instructors who visited Japan together for training in September/October 2026 (blog).
All Bujinkan students and approved guests are welcome to attend. We recommend wearing a full do-gi training uniform and bringing a notebook.
