Ninjutsu is a martial art focused on self-defence, utilising clever techniques, controlled balance, and striking weak points rather than relying on strength. As such, competitions are neither possible nor recommended.
Jake Sharpstone invites individuals of all ages and fitness levels to join Bujinkan Brighton Dojo and embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-defence, and personal growth through the art of Ninjutsu.
