Budo Taijutsu is a combat martial art system from Japan with authentic roots dating back several hundred years. Headed by grandmaster Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the Bujinkan is comprised of nine separate ryu-ha or martial art traditions of the Japanese Ninja & Samurai. The Abby BTSD is an accredited Bujinkan dojo located in Abbotsford, British Columbia. We are under the direction of shihan Philip Legare, who currently resides in Columbia, Maryland.

The Bujinkan Dojo consists of nine Japanese martial traditions to provide for an extensive classical warrior's education. If you are unfamiliar with our martial art, we hope you browse a while and perhaps learn something of interest. In the Bujinkan, everything from unarmed self-protection to the use of any conceivable weapon, from development of personal character to the use of psychology is part of the training. If you are interested in studying this beautiful martial art, please contact us by email or phone (see below).
