The journey is happening will you answer the call and be one of the few that will be offered this opportunity?

Master Richard Van Donk will be taking only a few students to Noda city Japan in Nov 2011 to personally meet and actually train in Ninjutsu with Soke Masaaki Hatsumi in a small dojo setting! Everyday you'll go to train at the dojo's of several other Shihan teachers, sight see ancient temples, visit museums and explore the world of Japanese living.

 

 

 

There is nothing like being at the source of the art that you train in. It will forever change your training and depth of the art. Most students that go once continue to go back every chance that they can get. It is important that you first go with a Bujinkan instructor. And why not go with a master teacher that has been there about 50 times? You will witness and experience people, places and things that you could never really do by yourself in many, many trips.

Shihan Richard Van Donk has dedicated his life to helping others better their lives as well as studying budo and spiritual awakening. He wants to spend time personally training with you and covering points of the days teachings with you and the group. As well as sharing martial art and enlightened warrior teachings with you everyday as you journey to exciting places in Japan.

You will have the opportunity to spend personal time with him daily asking your hearts and martial arts questions. Since private sessions with him run at least $1,500 a day a few students have said... "Wow! I will sign up for the Japan trip - explore Japan, train with Soke Hatsumi, get private budo training and ask him some questions at a bargain investment. While this is not as in-depth as private sessions this is a very smart investment idea. Many have done it and then booked the private later after getting to know Shihan Richard Van Donk.

This is mostly a Bujinkan training trip and we also do some sightseeing to get a great feel of the Japanese culture both ancient and modern. Where we go changes on what the group wants to experience. We always do one main excursion during our visit on a non-training day. Some favorite spots are the Tokyo area, sword museums, Meiji Park and gardens, Kamakura - dai buddha / old temples, outside of the Imperial Palace, Noda obstacle course, Togakure Mountain, Nikko temple shrines and Nartia temple area / Samurai houses.

Any serious Japanese martial arts practitioner should go to the roots and core of the lineage that they practice. It creates a bond and feeling that cannot be gotten any other way. Just being there changes the way you perceive the art.
