- Lawrence May Why I train in the martial art of Ninjutsu.
Hi , here's my testimonial, sorry it;s a bit late. I got a bit carried away writing this so if it's not what you're looking for let me know
'I got into Ninjutsu a couple of years ago, at that time I never really considered myself as someone who could get hooked on a marital art of any description I had always expected this sort of thing to be full of egotistical pumped up geezers screaming karate shouts and punching thin air in rows or viciously kicking the crap out of each other in practice for that nights pub scrap. With this is preconception and a wary curiosity in mind I wandered in to the Portsmouth dojo on a Saturday afternoon and within 10 mins was addicted.
Its not just the vast range of styles all interchangeably characterised with liquidity of movement or explosive and dynamic techniques encompassing strikes, kicks, sweeps, throws, locks, nerve strikes, bone smashing, strangulation, weapons ( swords, sticks, knives, keys, mobile phones, bin bags, ropes etc) etal, all folded within a harmony which is centred on the natural body movement itself called taijutsu that is the main appeal, its very much the mutually friendly atmosphere in which you train, submerging yourself in this living history at your own pace.
The only pressures here are your self imposed standards of just how far you want to evolve, if you're interested in just fitness, self-defence or simply want to explore a 1000 year old Japanese warrior craft without all the noise and stress of martial art competition fighting ninjitsu is defiantly worth your time'
Cheers Lawrence

"My name is Alex Stoneham and I am 20 years old. I started Ninjutsu two and a half years ago when I was still at college. Initially it was a poster that caught my attention. I attended my first lesson with a few friends just to see what it was like and have been hooked ever since. The teaching is of an excellent standard and everyone who trains is friendly and helpful. Ninjutsu keeps me fit, increases my confidence and motivates me to do well in other day to day tasks. I find that the Ninjutsu mindset can be applied to most areas of my life and look forward to training every week. The group of people that studies Ninjutsu is very diverse, as I have discovered, and caters for all ages and abilities. I've learnt a lot in my two years and made a lot of friends from all walks of life."

"I am a 32-year-old I.T. professional working for IBM. My job involves me sitting in front of a P.C. for hours every day, but I enjoy playing sport and other activities and keeping fit. I started Ninjutsu to keep fit (as I used to do kick boxing and that kept me quite fit). I thought I would try Ninjutsu, I found I enjoy Ninjutsu more as it is more interesting and has a more interesting history. The BBD is extremely well run and it is a pleasure to go to and learn Ninjutsu there."
- Dean Smith
"I started ninjutsu because I wanted some activity where I was thinking as well as sweating! i.e. not just running on a treadmill all day.I like training with the BBD because the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed whilst the lessons still remain structured and useful my training gives me self-confidence in that if attacked I could have a good go at defending myself!"

Ninjutsu - a female perspective
I have been studying ninjutsu for three years. As a result of continued training, I have developed strength, fitness and stamina (as well as far more martial arts ability than I ever imagined). Practising ninjutsu has also increased my threshold to pain, confidence, and overall self discipline.
The ethos of BBD dojos are non competitive, non macho and non misogynistic - in fact, kunoichi (female ninjas) are not just 'accepted', but are actively encouraged!
After a while, the philosophy of ninjutsu begins to permeate life outside of the dojo. One begins to think in a more ninja-ly way, taking the essence of the continuous improvement in training into making clearer judgements and moving through life with a greater ease. In my experience, ninjtusu blends a traditional Japanese art with modern day self defence techniques, taught by a great bunch of black belts in a fun, happy and nurturing environment.
