The three main schools of study at Bujinkan Glimme Dojo are the Bujinkan from Japan, Hoshin Roshi Ryu from America and Systema from Russia. The concepts that the various schools convey are much more important than the techniques. While techniques can be broken down, repeated, drilled to perfection; concepts serve as a guide, a compass, a route to the proper path for each individual to best live their life. Ura (inner) is all that matters; Developing our own potential, our own abilities and freeing ourselves of fear. Poznai sebia, know thy self, is vital to living a happy and healthy life. Knowing the ura, the omote (outer) techniques of protecting and being protected become clear.
