Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu 14+ years
Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is a self defense oriented martial art based on the 9 school of traditional Japanese Martial Arts held by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. Taijutsu employs the use of distance, angling, leverage and timing to unbalance and defeat an attacker. The art is non-competitive. Training is done in a relaxed environment with students participating at their own pace and comfort level. Classes are taught by black belt instructors Ken Hospes and Tim Brassard, both have been training in the art since 1993.
