YMR Dojo is presenting traditional japanese Bujinkan training in the Des Moines area. Now is always the right time to begin learning. We offer classes for all ages and abilities. The Bujinkan is comprised of 9 seperate ryuha or schools. Each school has a history and tradition which is taught to its practitioners. Studying Bujinkan you will learn unarmed combat and historical weapons used throughout the centuries. I teach techniques with an emphasis on unarmed and armed combat. You will learn about japanese history, culture, combat and etiquette.
If you have a love and passion for japanese martial arts then you will feel at home, just as we do.
