THEME – Being The Best Warrior You Can Be.

At this Bushindo Tai Kai event all instructors will deploy explore Controlling the Space in all it’s forms from Simple Taijutsu, Taking Ukemi, Sword work, Staff Work, Wazas and in-between your own two ears. This year we will have many talented instructors besides GM Richard Van Donk that will make this a very educational training experience.

This event will be special as it is Bushindo’s first multi-art Tai Kai event. Richard has done several Bujinkan-Eskrima-Sword events but never as an Official Tai Kai. This is the first so be a part of history. GM Richard Van Donk has always put a great effort into helping you and others in this art, both in and out of the dojo. He would be honored in having you come and help him celebrate this long budo journey with him. 

Come prepared to train (Yes, we party too- as we so much enjoy each others company and build lifetime bonding relationships).

But we are known for our continuous training. Training will start about 8am and go until late at night. 
We want you to go home tired, educated, fulfilled and fully inspired.
