two distinct programs

​​

I. Shadow MARTIAL ARTS:

​ This is our modern and simplified combatives & self-defense system. While Jūjutsu serves as the cornerstone of our combat training, our program is a hybrid system between Shinobi no Jutsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, Boxing, Goshin-Jutsu, and weapons training (i.e. knives, staffs, swords, spears, metal chains, throwing blades, archery, hidden weapons, and more). ​​In order to ensure the effectiveness of our techniques, all methodologies undergo rigorous pressure-testing through kata, drills, and sparring. Our students acquire proficiency in essential aspects such as precise striking techniques, effective grappling maneuvers, adept escapes, proficient pinning methods, skillful throws, and the mastery of various weapons.

​​​

II. Kobudō (Shisenkan Kobudō Federation):

 This is our elite and traditional battlefield-based martial arts program. It heavily emphasizes mastery of technique, principle, kata, history, spirituality, and a myriad of ancient skills used by the legendary warriors of feudal Japan. Under the Shisenkan Kobudō Federation, our dojo is recognized as Seishin Dojo meaning 'mind, spirit, soul, or heart'. Kobudō has both Samurai and Shinobi no Mono roots dating back to over a thousand years ago and is tied directly to key historical figures such as Momochi Sandayu and Hattori Hanzo. The Shisenkan honbu (headquarters) is located in Tokyo, Japan and is led by Ron Kosen Kancho.
