Question sir is there anyway that you could build a dojo here at the Philippines because i want to continue the training and unfortunately all the dojo's i know are very far from here... is it possible?
Answer Thank you very much for requesting that we open a dojo in the Philippines. Over the years, I have received many requests to open schools, offer seminars and accept students from all over the world. The very nature of our ninjutsu martial art requires that there be a close teacher-student relationship. Though I sometimes offer seminars in other locations, my home is New York and I am dedicated to sharing my training with my fellow New Yorkers.
There are a few options I can offer you until such time as you can get to an authentic ninjutsu dojo ( http://www.bujinkan.com/ ):
