Bujinkan Central Martial arts Banbury

Bujinkan Central teaches Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu — a traditional Japanese martial art combining unarmed and weapons techniques drawn from nine historical ryuha (schools), encompassing strikes, locks, throws, pressure points, and weaponry. Training focuses on real self-defence without rules, reflecting actual high-risk scenarios.

Classes are led by Mark Johnston, a Dai Shihan (awarded by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi in Japan in 2018) with over 35 years of Bujinkan experience, extensive Japan travel, and a background as a professional bodyguard and SIA instructor. The dojo emphasises tradition, history, etiquette, and discipline alongside practical effectiveness.
