UCD NINJUTSU

Traditional martial art with roots stretching back several thousand years

Ninjutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art with roots stretching back almost a thousand years. Classes are taught by Rob McDonnell and are run in conjunction with Bujinkan Carroll Dojo with visiting instructors who train in the Bujinkan Dojo.

Classes commence with a comprehensive warm-up, which, over time enhances your fitness and agility. Strength is not a prime requirement, so this is an ideal form of self-defence for both men and women.

Tuition includes punching, kicking, throws, grappling, an introduction to traditional weapons such as katana, hanbo and bo, together with defensive techniques against knives and batons.

The club programme also includes lots of social activities as well as an escape and evasion survival course and external weekends’ seminars with grading.
