Bujinkan Sevenoaks Dojo
The Bujinkan Sevenoaks Dojo is the official Bujinkan Dojo for the Sevenoaks and North West Kent Area.
We have been established in Dunton Green since 2006 and have a strong and steadily growing student base.
Here at the Sevenoaks Dojo, we study and practice the nine traditional schools of Japanese martial arts contained within the Bujinkan as taught by Dr. Massaki Hatsumi, Soke (Grandmaster) of the Bujinkan Dojo, based in Japan, with a particular emphasis on the Kihon (basics/fundamentals) of the Bujinkan martial arts.
The Founder and chief instructor at the Bujinkan Sevenoaks Dojo is David Heslington and is he licensed by Dr. Massaki Hatsumi and is assisted by his senior students at the Sevenoaks Dojo.
David has been training in the Bujinkan for over 20 years, is a Shidoshi (senior/master instructor) and currently holds the rank of Ju Ni Dan (12th Dan). He is also a member of the Japanese Bujinkan Shidoshi-Kai (instructors association).

Programs & Class Schedule
Training at the Bujinkan Sevenoks Dojo takes the form of paired exercises/practice. Unlike other sports based martial arts, there no is competitive aspect to our training. Rather, the opposite is the norm. In order for training to be safe and productive, there is a need for trust and co-operation from both partners. If you are constantly getting injured during any form of martial arts training, then we are clearly doing something wrong. The practice of any martial art should be to protect, maintain and promote the health of the practitioner's body, not to damage it.
Classes are comprised of mixed ability students, from beginners to black belts. We do not divide a class into grade, weight or age groups, so you could find yourself training with a complete beginner or one of the senior black belt students. In the Bujinkan, we feel that everyone has something to offer during training, no matter what grade they are. Instruction often takes the form of what is known in Japan as 'Ishi Shoden' (person to person/one to one transmission).
Training in the Bujinkan is open to both men & women who wish to learn the traditional Japanese martial arts. Even though the techniques of the Bujinkan stem from the Medieval period of Japan, they are still ideal and relevant for todays modern world and society.
No previous martial arts experience is necessary, nor do you need to be especially fit to participate.
To participate in training you should be over 18 years of age, however, with parental consent, younger people may train, ideally with someone of their own age group.
In all cases, the minimum age will be 16. There is no upper age limit.
