Probably one of the most unique parts of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is our Godan (5th Dan) test. Here is a Youtube video from another Shidoshi talking about his thoughts on the Bujinkan's Godan test.

Resiliency, it is at the heart of Ninpo, the spirit of the ninja. The Japanese character for Nin 忍(as in ninja, ninpo, ninjutsu) is made up of two idiograms, blade s 刃 and heart 心. It visually depicts a blade held over a heart, indicating endurance or perseverance under duress. Thus, the essence of Ninpo, the spirit of the ninja, is the spirit of being resilient.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s there was a Bujinkan focused forum, administered by a Japan resident, it was called Kutaki no Mura. At one point, they created a podcast called Kutaki no Ha. Even though the website is no longer around, the podcast is being uploaded episode by episode to Youtube. For those who are interested, I will post them here to this blog. This series could also be of interest to other martial arts practitioners such as Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Kendo, Kenjutsu, Jiujitsu, Aikido, Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Wing Chun, and of course Ninjutsu. Podcast #23, Relax - News - Training Tips - Bujinkan Podcast  Noguchi Sensei turned 83 this month! I love training in his classes when in Japan for martial arts training. His Taijutsu is difficult to copy, he is so energetic, we often leave class feeling like we went through an aerobic session. And he has been doing multiple seminars annually around the world for several years. His well of energy is impressive!

Podcast #22, Relax - News - Training Tips - Bujinkan Podcast Taikais are seminars, typically held outside of Japan, with Japanese Sihan, Daishihan, Soke. These are fantastic ways to get Japanese-level training without traveling all the way to Japan. Here are the next upcoming Taikai worth considering:

Last year our dojo had the great opportunity to attend the Portland Nagato Sensei Taikai. It was a fantastic event and we all had an amazing time training. Unfortunately, the event was not recorded so there was no video to buy afterwards. This year, there was a Nagato Sensei Taikai held in Dayton, Ohio that was recorded. The video is now available for those who would like to learn from Sensei's teachings. The link to the video can be accessed here: Dayton Ohio Videos Enjoy!

Our dojo undertook the 1776 Push Up challenges once again. Several students in the kids, teens, and adults classes completed the challenge. The challenge is to complete 1,776 push ups in the month of July. That averages to about 58 push ups every day of the month. This is a fun challenge to celebrate Independence Day with. It feels a bit weird finishing the challenge at the end of the month, I think next year we'll start the challenge on June 4th, to complete it on July 4th to feel more in tune with the holiday. Who wants to join us for the challenge next year in 2026?
