The Shinigami Dojo is a martial arts school based in Rugby, Warwickshire in the United Kingdom and was started by Jamie Seal (3rd Dan Shidoshi Ho) in May 2016 to bring the martial art of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (a.k.a Ninjutsu) to Rugby, Warwickshire.
Since then we have also launched our shop Ningu - Traditional Ninjutsu Equipment in 2017.

So what do we study in the Shinigami Dojo?
Training from White Belt (10th Kyu) to 1st Dan black belt (Shodan) primarily consists of studying the Tenchijin Ryaku No Maki (The Principles of Heaven, Earth and Man) which is a combination of nine different schools or martial arts compiled by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi (34th Grandmaster of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu).
The Tenchijin Ryaku No Maki teaches the Budoka (Student) a variety of fundamental techniques and Kata such as:
- Kamae - Postures and Stances
- Junan Taiso - Body Conditioning
- Taihenjutsu - Full Body Movement
- Ukemi - Breakfalls
- Tobi - Leaping
- Karuwaza - Acrobatics
- Keri - Kicks
- Kihon Happo No Kata - 8 Fundamental Forms
- Sanshin No Kata - Elemental Feeling Forms
- Te Hodoki - Escaping a wrist grab
- Dakentaijutsu - Striking
- Shime Wasa - Choking Techniques
- Nage Kaeshi - Defence Against Throws
- Shinken Gata Keiko - Actual Fighting Training
- Jutaijutsu Gata - Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu
- And much more!
All equipment should only ever be used in the dojo under the supervision of a qualified Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu Instructor, and NEVER under ANY circumstances should live bladed weaponry be brought into the Dojo! All training is done with rubber or wooden weapons to prevent injury.
All instructors fully qualified and insured, DBS checked, qualified level 3 first aiders and hold MAIUK Level 1 Instructors qualifications.
