Michael Jones
Michael has been training in Ninjutsu since 2004. After dabbling in other forms of self defence, Michael's attention was brought to Ninjutsu and has been dedicating his time to it ever since. It wasn't that other disciplines were bad, it was just that Ninjutsu was that good.
"It was as if the 'martial arts rulebook' had been thrown out of the window and I was given a glimpse of what I could be capable of if I was willing to work at it. How hard I could punch or how high I could kick were no longer relevant. Those questions were now replaced with, how can I exploit weaknesses? And how quickly can I do it?"
To further his understanding of Ninjutsu, Michael has spent significant time in Japan, learning from the leading practitioners of Bujinkan Ninjutsu and is a frequent visitor to Japan to this day.
In 2019 Michael was awarded his Judan (10th Dan) while training at the Honbu dojo in Japan (Under the guidance of Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi). A feat that he largely accredits to Shihan Ryan Hobbs and Dai Shihan Marc Moor, who each have played major roles in arming him with the skills needed to continue his martial arts education at a higher level and share his knowledge with new students.
