Shinmyoken Dojo
Westchester, New York • Since 2005
The Shinmyoken Dojo operates under a singular principle: to gather as
martial friends and explore the movement of Japanese budo as transmitted to us by Dr.
Masaaki Hatsumi, Soke of the Bujinkan Dojo.
We do not teach sport or competition. We practice the
traditional arts of the samurai— a method of survival and movement that has
endured for over 800 years.
Our practice: taijutsu
At the heart of this warrior path is taijutsu— the art of unified
body movement.
Lineage: We honor the tradition of isshi-soden, the direct
transmission of movement philosophy from teacher to student in an unbroken
chain through the teachings of Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi.
Integration: Training involves the study of distance, angling,
and the natural mechanics of the human body to navigate any situation.
Supervision: Instruction is led by Fred Feddeck (shidoshi), who
has dedicated himself to the study of the Bujinkan since 1993.
We maintain a traditional atmosphere. There is no digital
registration or formal inquiry process. For those truly interested in the budo
path and entering the martial gate (bumon) through our dojo, the first step is to simply show up
and make your intentions known in person at our Saturday class.
Training Schedule & Location We train outdoors, connecting
our movement to the environment, as was done historically.
