Are you part of the future of the Bujinkan teachings?

The future of the Bujinkan teachings will depend on its instructors knowing how to properly transfer the art’s knowledge to their students and for these instructors to represent themselves as confident professionals both in and out of the dojo.

We want our instructors to be examples for others to follow and we want to know that they have been given training in how to teach well. Our intent is to make the transition from student to instructor easier.

This is why IBDA now requires the completion of this Shidoshi (Teacher of the “Warrior Ways of Enlightenment”) Training Course for all students that want to become Shidoshi-ho instructors with IBDA. Some people will learn to teach in a dojo setting while some may only train outdoors with a few friends - either way this Shidoshi Course is designed to make you a better teacher and to truly understand more about the 'Do' (the Way aka the Tao) and its influence on the Ninpo art that we study.

It is wonderful if you can attend our IBDA dojo classes directly or train with a certified instructor but if this is not available to you then we have complete Distant Learning Programs such as the Shodan BlackBelt Home Study Course and the Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, etc. courses. Taking you for Beginner to Master. You can go just as far as you want to go with us - many have already. Just start with the Shodan Course and work your way to the top.

When should I start this Shidoshi Teacher Course?

Any time is fine. While you are training to get your BlackBelt in Ninjutsu (if you don't already have one) you can also study how to teach the art to others. Most students will start this Shidoshi training by the time they reach the 4th kyu level, which is over half way to Shodan, so that when you get your Shodan (or Nidan) you will already be trained as and have an understanding of what it really means to be a Shidoshi-ho (junior licensed instructor) You will be a direct student under Shihan Richard Van Donk and will be issued a Shidoshi-ho certificate by GrandMaster Soke Masaaki Hatsumi at the Bujinkan headquarters in Japan.

Have the skills to open up your own Ninjutsu dojo.

By taking this Shidoshi Ninjutsu Teacher Training Course will have the skills to open up your own Ninjutsu dojo.

But the greatest gift of all is what you will feel inside, the changes you have made in your life and how these changes affect others around you because of your dedication and hard earned efforts.

These studies have been proven to change lives! So help us out by becoming a great teacher and changing more peoples' lives by sharing the art!

 

We are accepting new IBDA NINJUTSU Instructors at this time.

The Shidoshi Teacher Training Course is a required prerequisite to becoming an IBDA Shidoshi-ho (Junior Liscensed) Bujinkan instructor.

You do not have to be an IBDA member to get this course -- at this time. This has been a big debate with my staff and current Shidoshis. This course is so loaded with unknown secrets of the art that they wanted me to keep this knowledge only for the people directly training with us.

But I want everyone to benefit and have an opportunity to learn this knowledge so I told them that I would test offering it to everyone. I want you to know that at anytime I may stop offering this course to the general public and make it only available to IBDA enrolled students. That's why if you think this course is for you then I suggest you get it now while you still can.

I know that this is an excellent course as it reveals 35 years of my own teaching knowledge and took me over 2 years to write it for you. I really put a lot into it so that you could become the best teacher you can be. Take advantage of this opportunity now while it's available.

Complete Teacher Training Course for only $327!!!  It will save you years of errors and heartache. If this course only helps you get and keep only 1 student for 1 year you will have more than doubled your investment!
