Bujinkan Meden Dojo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to our dojo website,

I hope we are able to provide you with an insight into the Japanese Samurai & Ninja warrior arts of the Bujinkan Dojo.

Originally much text was used but in the end, lengthy descriptions did little to convey the essence of what our art is really about, we are not martial entrepreneurs, martial actors / entertainers, or martial researchers, we are simply martial artists. A picture is said to be worth a thousand words so Iíve recently enhanced our photo gallery to convey the depth of our art by images rather than words. There is a saying ě..to only recite poetry with poets..î and I believe this pertains to all the arts. Without being involved in the practice of an art, it is very easily mis-understood. With photos there are still limitations, as the natural flow (vitality) of the movements is not visible.

The essence of our art cannot be expressed through words, images, video or such media as the internet, it is something more natural than that, it is a human feeling which only the heart can capture.

The Komichi Dojo is a school of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu located in Pyrmont, Sydney Australia. Komichi Dojo was established in 2003 when Peter White (Shihan) arrived back in Australia after training in Japan for 4 years.

"Komichi" is Japanese word and translated means "path". Komichi Dojo represents a training hall that guides the practitioner to the true path of understanding in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu as taught by Grandmaster Musaaki Hatsumi Sensei.

Peter White (Shihan)

Peter White has been training 17 years in the Bujinkan Budo-Taijutsu. He first began training in Judo in 1983, Kung-Fu and Wing Chun in 1984-88, Kickboxing in 1988-89 and then in Ninjutsu in 1989 under the Wayne Roy dojo's. In 1993, he began training under the instruction of Andrew Macdonald, who had just arrived back in Australia, after living and training in Japan for over 5 years.

In 1999, Peter then moved to Japan to work and train with Grandmaster Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. For 4 years, Peter trained with Hatsumi-sensei, Nagato-sensei, Noguchi-sensei and many other great Shihan from Japan, and instructors from all countries around the world. He is one of few Australian instructors who has lived and trained in Japan. He returned back to Australia in July 2003, and has been teaching Australia's Special Forces Operations Group and also to the general public at various venues. He regularly returns to Japan to train and to stay up to date with the current practices as taught by the Grandmaster.

Peter is now a High School Teacher and instructs teenagers in martial arts at his school for sport and teaches at his dojo at the Pyrmont Community Centre.

Same as Ed, Tim also lived in japan, he also makes excellent training weapons which can be purchased from his website.

The purpose of this site is to provide some information about the "old school" Japanese martial system known as Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Also known as Ninjutsu, Budo Taijutsu is several thousand years old, but was not accessible by North Americans until about 35 years ago.

As a warrior art, the philosophies of Budo Taijutsu are significantly different than modern-day sport martial arts. Success is not measured by who "wins" but by who "survives".

This site was also created to promote our club. Anyone wishing to persue Bujinkan training in the Vancouver, BC, Canada area can contact me. As a licensed instructor (Shidoshi) under Soke Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, Shihan Phillip Legare, Shidoshi Scott White, and a frequent traveller to Japan (to study Budo Taijutsu under the top Japanese Shihans), I hope to pass on the art to my students as accurately as possible.

Here, you'll find information about our beautiful art, upcoming events, training ideas/photos, information about Japan, and links to other important sites.

Enjoy!
