Shinobi Martial Arts Center
Where martial arts enthusiasts come for classical and modern ninjutsu training delivered with a combination of science and a great sense of humor to unlock the hidden magic in martial arts. And now available to members online via live streaming and archived classes.
You Love The Martial Arts But...
Maybe you’re getting a little older and you’re tired of wrestling with twenty-year-olds. Or you’re a woman and you’ve had enough of adapting male techniques to your needs. Or you’re a parent of a timid teen who has no desire to jump into a cage but you really want them to experience your love of martial arts.
Wouldn’t it be nice to find a martial art that really teaches mind over muscle, actually has techniques designed specifically for women, and that your teens think is cool?
Here at Shinobi Martial Arts Center 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.
We only work with people who can't live without martial arts in their life, who train for the pure joy of learning, and who are willing to open their minds to radically different ideas.
We do not work with children under the age of thirteen*, people who want to take part in martial arts competitions, or anyone looking to feed their ego with an easy black belt.
At Shinobi Martial Arts Center you can study with senior instructors 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 makes 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
SMAC 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."

Our ninja martial arts have been cleansed by the sword, they were created in actual combat and only the principles that worked, regardless of size and strength, were shared through the generations and passed on to us. A bad technique literally died on the battlefield.
