Nagato Sensei has agreed to visit the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo Martial Arts School from Friday, May 30, to Sunday, June 1, 2025, to teach a three-day seminar. This unique opportunity will allow participants to experience Nagato Sensei’s Taijutsu and instruction in a dojo environment similar to that of training in Japan. The event is limited to 120 Bujinkan attendees. The smaller event size ensures a more focused and engaging experience, as distractions are minimized. The smaller venue - in a traditional dojo setting - will foster a personalized experience for attendees, allowing Nagato Sensei to teach and interact with participants directly (something not always feasible at larger events). Dayton is honored to host Nagato Sensei in 2025 and looks forward to a successful event with the Bujinkan community.
Do I have to be a Bujinkan member or practitioner to attend? The 2025 Nagato Sensei Tai Kai is reserved for Bujinkan members, practitioners, and approved guests. Nagato Sensei will be exploring Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, and so expect Sensei to reference elements of the kihon happo, san shin, and fundamental ukemi when he teaches. That said, new Bujinkan students are welcome to participate! Non-Bujinkan practitioners who have trained with Nagato Sensei in the past, or attended previous Dayton Bujinkan Dojo seminars and events, are welcome to attend. (If you are a non-Bujinkan practitioner who has not trained with Nagato Sensei or visited the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo before and wish to attend, please contact us using the form at the bottom of the event homepage for approval before registering.)
Toshiro Nagato is a Bujinkan (武神館) Daishihan who has been training under Hatsumi Soke for more than four decades (48 years in 2024). In 2019, he was awarded Sokeship of the Bujinkan’s Shinden Fudo Ryu (神伝不動流).
