About the Instructors
The instructors of the
Bujinkan Taka-Seigi Dojo Vancouver hold
black-belt ranks of sandan (3rd degree black belt) or higher in the art
of Bujinkan
Budo Taijutsu
and
teach
according to the philosophies, techniques, and guidelines of Soke Dr. Masaaki
Hatsumi, Shihan Phillip
Legare,
Shidoshi Scott White, and many of the senior Bujinkan Instructors of
Japan. In addition to ranks in Budo Taijutsu,
all of the instructors have several years of training in other martial
arts styles such as kung-fu, karate, kick boxing, etc., which helps
them to better bridge and accommodate the
previous training of students coming from those styles.
