About Us: Atlanta Bujinkan Dojo
Established in the 1970s, the Atlanta Bujinkan Dojo is the first school in the Western Hemisphere for the exceptional martial art of Ninjutsu. The art is appropriate for all ages and is practical and versatile, incorporating striking, grappling, and a variety of weapons, as well as physical skills like balance, coordination, & various types of movement, and non-physical skills like mental discipline, philosophy, meditation & awareness.
Our school has a long-standing legacy & strong reputation for quality training & great camaraderie. This is not a ‘sport’ or competitive program, or your average martial art. It’s pretty special. 🙂
We’re now accepting new students at our Sandy Springs location. Training is open to adults 18+, or with our youth program, from 12-17 (with parent permission) For more info about the art or the school, please see our About Us page.
