Principle Instructors

Andy is a font of knowledge for pretty much anything, with especial interest in Martial Arts and anything Sci Fi memorabillia wise.  Ask him anything - go on, you won't be disappointed. 

A great asset to the club Andy is a highly graded Judoka and practitioner of Hontai Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu, bringing strength and conviction to his training and instruction. Away from the Dojo Andy is a Deputy Headteacher, father and all round good bloke!!

Stu Shimmin

Stu has the passion of a Br  azillian football fan and the focussed intensity of a hunting Eagle, bewae if you get fiwed in that gaze :-)  When Andy and Stu get together the club is in for a special class.  St is the King of "UtubeJutsu" with the skill and intuition to turn video into  effective technique.

Bruce was the principle instructor at the club for a long time and is glad to be leaving the dojo in great hands.

Originally he trained in Wado Ryu Karate during the 1980's but was introduced to Ninjutsu in 2001.  "I was loking for a martial art for my children and went along to alocal Ninjutsu club to give it a try.  Needless to say I loved it and you could say the rest is history."  After taking his Shodan (Beginning Dan) Bruce was asked to take over the club by it's founder. Since then Bruce has trained up and down the country attending many seminars and taking insruction rom sme of the most iconic namesin The Bujinkan. He has also spent time in Japan studying with our master instructors and Hatsumi Sensei. "I have been very lucky, takinginstrution from amazing people from all over the world. The Bujinkan is a truly international family and one that I feel privileged to be a part of."

Assistant Instructors

Nayan Mistry Nayan was one of the very first students to join the original dojo - ten years on he's become an essential part of the day to day running of the club.  Nayan's unassuming attitude and patient approach to the instruction of new and experienced Budoka is an example to us all.  We can all be happy to think that the future of Ninjutsu in the UK rests in the capable hands of students like Nayan. Honourable mention:  Alastair Wade Nayans right hand man, Alastair is a great credit to himself and the club.
