It's now winter in the northern hemisphere. Those aches and pains are now making there way to the surface and reminding me ( again ) that taking care of the body is so important. Many Zen monks take hot bathes and cold bathes ...

I have a book shelf full of various books, of various titles, genres,fiction,non fiction, and general interest topics. I have never ( in my son's presence ) taken out any of Soke's books to read or have left them lying around the house. ...

I installed a new Ajax search function on the web store site, in the top search box and in the right column (not on the advanced search page).

When you have typed three characters it will start searching on the fly, you can keep typing or click on one of the items showing up on the search.

Please let me know if you have problems!

Also if you want your stuff until Christmas, please make the order soon. We will ship within 1-2 days as usual, but the post office might be more busy than usual.

I live in Japan and travel to Chiba monthly to train with Soke and the four Shihan. For the last couple of years I have also been training with some of the foreign instructors living in Japan. While they all have something to offer, training with Rob in the Zeropoint system has been by far the most valuable training. Why?:

1. You learn skills that enable you to isolate and then integrate movements that are fundamental to Bujinkan Taijutsu.

2. Having learned these Kihon movements, you are able to understand how Soke and the Shihan are using taijutsu and kyojitsu to affect their opponent’s balance and control the kukan. Zeropoint training provides a key to clarifying and defining the Bujinkan’s fundamental movement, giving you a structure with which to look at what Soke and his top shihan are teaching, and therefore adds value to your training in Japan.

3. You learn a series of exercises that will quickly transform your reflexes, and from that, the way that you train. Many people try to show their “feeling” of Soke’s movement, but Zeropoint training has specific drills and exercises that directly affect your taijutsu.

At first I thought that there were all these amazing coincidences occurring; I would train with Rob, then train with Soke or the Shihan, and see exactly the same points emphasized. After a few months, I realized that the Shihan were doing these things all the time.

No coincidence! I just never had the eyes to see what they were doing before, despite having trained in the Bujinkan for many years. Zeropoint training gave me those eyes.

Add value to your training! Check out Rob and the Zeropoint Dojo while you’re in Japan.

Three tigers bind to form one in the DKMS this year. Soke spoke and taught of the meaningful aspects of connection and flow. We focused on the technique of no technique and the importance of maintaining a mind of no attachment. ...
