FREE BONUS #2- Japanese Phrases ONLINE Audio @ $19.95
Japanese is a difficult language to learn and we are learning a Japanese art with lots of terminology in its original language. This is not hard to learn if you are learning a technique at a time with a name attached to it, as you are just naming something. But being able to pronounce it right, Ah,,, I don't know about you but I need some help here. DAISHIHAN Linda Van Donk after hearing some rather interesting training terminology said in a very funny way (can't write it here) sat down and scripted out all the important Japanese words that we use in training up to Shodan. Then She recorded it on an Audio TRACK for the students (many thanks to her!). This Ninjutsu terminology Audio cd says the phase in Japanese and then in English with a slight pause so you can repeat it out loud. What a difference it makes. This normally sells for $19.95 and we threw it in the set for FREE.

I'M DOSHI

Which One Quality of these Ancient Arts Could Change Your Life?

rvd-lanchaI never imagined how my life would change from studying the martial arts. Yes, I expected a lot from it but there is no way that from that first time I entered a dojo I ever thought that I might get to the second level yellow belt, much less get to a Black Belt. In fact it was only after two years of hard training that I saw the glimmer of the possibility of becoming a brown belt. And after achieving that it took a few more years of dedication to reach Black belt in Karate.

Since that time I have traveled the world teaching and training with many great Grandmasters and became a personal student of several of these Grandmasters, including Soke Masaaki Hatsumi who shared with me his wonderful art of Ninjutsu-Ninpo Taijutsu.

I now have at least 100 students who have been promoted to 10th dan (5th level) by him and the International Bujinkan Dojos. All of them starting with THIS Shodan Course. Amazing. My life has been blessed.

Join us on this path and start your journey today. We love what we do and are excited and passionate about it. You’ll soon experience why.

Just imagine what an entire ancient Empowerment system will do.

GROUP MENTORING

Put the techniques you learn into practice during group mentoring sessions. This is a safe place where everyone is working on their own Ninjutsu / Ninpo Taijutsu journey.

Doshi meets with people in his White Tiger Inner Club students at least once a week Mentoring them on every aspect of the Arts.

This not only gives you advance lessons but guides you on anything that you are struggling with. Then are guided all the way. Plus in this program Doshi offers teachings that he feels need to be personally guided, like the inner arts.

Most students find it powerful to learn with others while having their questions answers to overcome any struggles and hear the creative ways others are training.
