We are a group of people training in the Japanese martial arts of the Bujinkan Dojo in Harold’s Cross, Dublin.

The formal name of art we practice is Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, but it is sometimes also referred to as ‘Ninpo Taijutsu’ or even just ninjutsu, in reference to some aspects of some of the ryuha (schools) we study.

This martial art includes includes the study of nine feudal-era samurai schools including Togakure Ryu, Takagi Yoshin Ryu, Kukishin Ryu, Gyokko Ryu, Koto Ryu, Shinden Fudo Ryu and more.

Our dojo started in Trinity College Dublin in 1998, and moved around a bit before settling at its current location in 2011 in Harold’s Cross, Dublin.

The teacher is Alex Meehan, a licensed Bujinkan Dojo instructor. He first started training in 1989 and was awarded a teaching license in 2000 by Hatsumi Masaaki, Soke of the Bujinkan Dojo, and the title of Dai Shihan (senior teacher) in 2017.

Our training is open to anyone who can dedicate themselves to the practice, get on well with others and dedicate themselves to improveing the world around them.

We are members of the Irish Martial Arts Commission and all our instructors are garda vetted.
