You Love The Martial Arts But...
Maybe you’re a little older now and taking lessons from some teenage kid at one of those bratt belt schools is not for you. You want to train but you can’t risk getting hurt. You’ve got responsibilities, your health and safety matter.
Or, you’re a woman and you’ve had enough of adapting male techniques to your needs. You just want to train in a clean, safe environment where there is an understanding of the actual situations you deal with every day.
Or, you’ve always wanted to train in Ninjutsu, you've read the books, you've watched the videos, and maybe you've even taken a class or two but you haven't been able to find a legitimate dojo.
Wouldn’t it be nice to find a martial art that really teaches mind over muscle, actually has techniques designed specifically for women, and is taught by instructors with decades of ninjutsu experience?
Here at Shinobi Martial Arts University we help martial arts enthusiasts learn Ninjutsu so that they can go beyond the need for size, strength, and speed to unlock the hidden magic in martial arts.
But it's not for everyone.
We do not work with children under the age of thirteen*, people who want to compete in martial arts competitions, or anyone looking to feed their ego with an easy black belt.
Here's who we work with:
If you agree with the idea there is always more to learn no matter what belt rank you have and you are able to open your mind to radically different ideas and ways of doing things, and if you are willing to take part in an application and interview process to ensure you and the dojo are a match, then we should definitely talk. There's no charge for this and it's totally free.
At Shinobi Martial Arts University you can study with senior teachers in both historical and modern ninjutsu. The way we present these lessons is a combination of traditional methods, science, creative analogies, and humor.

"Shinobi Martial Arts just made sense. I brought my daughter here to learn some self-defense and ended up joining myself. The people are friendly, and their martial arts knowledge is second to none. We always have a great time here, while learning how to stay alive in the crazy world of today. I can't recommend it enough. "
David
SMAU Student
"Having trained in multiple martial arts for more than 10 years, I enthusiastically endorse Shinobi Martial Arts. The curriculum is safe and non-aggressive, but devastating in its power. Shinobi serves all ages and body types. The dojo has a casual, affirming atmosphere. Women train in an environment of equality and respect with no macho posturing. I earned a black belt from Shinobi, my second, and turned 60 in the same year. Shinobi is effective martial arts for the rest of us."
