Who We Are - The History

Ninja's or 'Shinobi' are legendary and have such a history behind the name. While they seem like a part of Japanese Folklore, they are in fact, real. No one knows when Ninja's first appeared, but it's estimated it was around the 15th Century.
However, they didn't fully come into their own until the Sengoku period (also known as the Warring states period). During this time, the two most famous ninja clans, Iga and Koga, had their heydays. But like with all golden ages, eventually, their time would come to an end. Even so, the Ninja or Shinobi have left behind their mark on the history of Japan that will never be erased.
This was how the Ninja slowly evolved. According to historical facts the ninja groups were developed in small villages or around the elite families. They were created to protect the residents of the villages and communities from external enemies. Even women had the privilege to become the Ninjas just like men.
Bujinkan Yasashi Dojo has had its doors open since 1990 and were one of the First in Saskatchewan to offer training in this Dojo. Clint Urbanoski is one of the highest ranked Ninja's in Western Canada. He was awarded the rank of 'Daishihan' from the grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi.
'Daishihan' translates as 'Senior Master Teacher'. He teaches authentic ninjitsu, a combat self-defence that has been battlefield proven for over 1000 years.

TRAINING -

Two Evenings a week will give you the chance to learn the art of Ninjutsu.
Ninjutsu was developed as a collection of fundamental survivalist techniques in the warring state of feudal Japan. The Ninja used their art to ensure their survival in a time of violent political turmoil. Ninjutso included methods of gathering information and techniques of non-detection, avoidance, and misdirection. Ninjutsu involved training in free-running, disquise, escape, concealment, archery and medicine. Skills relating to espionage and assassination were highly useful to warring factions in feudal Japan. At some point, the skills of espionage became known collectively as Ninjutsu, and the people who specialized in these tasks were called Shinobi No Mono.
