Welcome to the Bujinkan Taka-Seigi Dojo Montgomery, connected directly through our Shihan, Phillip Legare, to Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi's International Bujinkan Dojo! The Bujinkan is one of a few surviving whole martial arts, where training has not been diluted for sport or competition. To do our part in maintaining 1000 years of warrior heritage, each class at the Taka-Seigi Dojo Montgomery focuses on the five qualities of a true budoka, or student of warrior ways:
1. Open hearts
2. Impeccable manners
3. Consistent training
4. Intense physicality
5. Formless technique
"Ninpo should be offered to the world as a guiding influence for all martial artists. Without total training in the combative arts, today's martial artist cannot hope to progress any futher than mere proficiency in the limited set of muscular skills that make up his or her system. Personal enlightenment can only come about by the confrontation of danger, the transcendence of fear, injury, or death, and a working knowledge of individual personal powers and limitations. The practitioner of ninjutsu can gain the strength and invincibility that permit the enjoyment of flowers moving in the wind, appreciation of the love of others, and the contentment of the presence of peace in society. Born of insight attained from repeated exposure to the very brink of death, ninpo's benevolent heart is the key to finding harmony and understanding in the realms of the spiritual and material worlds."
- Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi
