Bujinkan Peterborough Dojo was opened up by Rick in 2012 after his second trip to Japan. This was a personal move to expand as Rick was first introduced to the Bujinkan in 1989/1990 when the original dojo was once led by his very first instructor, Phil Jenkins.
The Dojo in 2019 was handed over to rising black belt assistant instructors (Shidoshi ho), Ryan Hipwell & Jason Smith. Rick frequently visits Peterborough Dojo to see how everyone is getting along, and continues to train and support his new shidoshi ho team. Peterborough has recently had a new surge of beginners as well as long term students, and is going from strength to strength. New students always welcome! NEW JUNIORS CLASS STARTED IN AUGUST 2020!!!!

Bio: When I started martial arts I wanted to learn to protect myself as I was always bullied at school i tried a few schools but was not sure what I was looking for at the time. What I had studied was all good and by 2006 I had got into work in night clubs and pubs as security as by this time I wanted to protect others now more then I got introduced to Bujinkan Ninjutsu and it was different from any other martial arts that I had done and was not as basic as some others and more advanced.
The only way I can describe it is a survival martial art and I have been hooked on it ever since, bringing traditional and modern fighting system in a perfect balance of training.
