Located in Westchester, New York, the Bujinkan Shinmyoken Dojo (war god school of the life-giving sword) offers comprehensive instruction in the Japanese martial art of taijutsu training, as passed down by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi.  

At our dojo, the foundation of our movement is taijutsu: a unified whole-body movement method and philosophy focused on martial application. Taijutsu training utilizes the body's movement and flexibility in various ways, enabling practitioners to adapt to any situation they may encounter.  

Our training emphasizes natural, whole-body movement and aims to impart the philosophy of “being zero” through personalized one-on-one instruction (isshi soden).  

Supervised by Fred Feddeck, a shidoshi who has been studying the Bujinkan since 1993, our classes foster a supportive and non-competitive environment. As friends of martial arts in Westchester, our commitment since 2005 has been simple: to meet weekly on the martial path to enhance our understanding of the art of taijutsu and improve ourselves.  

Classes are held on Saturday mornings at a local park in Yonkers, New York, with additional sessions for quarterly seminars and workshops throughout the year.  

No previous martial arts experience is required, and we warmly welcome traveling and out-of-town Bujinkan students to join our classes.  

We invite any questions, comments, feedback, and inquiries, which can be directed to us through the contact form below.
